Sleepless Boudoir & Portraits

How Pricing Works at Sleepless Boudoir

At Sleepless Boudoir, pricing is structured around the experience rather than a rigid list of deliverables. Every session includes professional guidance, hair and makeup, and a relaxed pace designed to help you feel comfortable and confident. The focus is on creating space to settle in and walk away with images that genuinely reflect how you want to be seen.

Session options are designed to give flexibility rather than force clients into predefined bundles. Digital images are included with every session, and printed products are available afterward if you choose. Nothing is rushed, nothing is required, and every detail is discussed clearly before booking. If you're wondering what the experience actually feels like, here's what to expect.

What's Included in Every Session

Every Sleepless Boudoir session includes professional hair and makeup, guided direction throughout the shoot, and a private, respectful environment. You don't need to arrive camera-ready or know how to pose. That's what the session is for. Direction is provided throughout, with clear guidance on posing, expression, and movement so you can relax and focus on the experience. Your privacy is protected at every step, from booking through delivery.

Digital images are always included, along with full personal printing rights. This means you can print your images however and wherever you choose, with no additional licensing fees or restrictions. The images are yours to keep, share, and use as you see fit.

Printed artwork, albums, and wall pieces are available after viewing your gallery, but never required. Many clients choose to add them later, while others are perfectly happy with their digital collection alone. There is no obligation to purchase anything beyond the session itself, and no sales pressure during or after the experience.

Sessions are offered in three experience levels. Each is designed to meet different comfort levels and goals, while maintaining the same thoughtful approach and professional standard.

Introductory Session

Starting at $400

This option is designed for clients who want a focused, unhurried session without an extended time commitment. It's ideal for first-time boudoir or intimate portrait clients, though it works just as well for those who already know what they're looking for and want a streamlined experience. Hair and makeup are included, along with enough time to explore one or two looks and walk away with a curated set of images.

Many clients start here simply to see how the experience feels before deciding if they want to return for a longer session. This session stands on its own as a complete experience, and many are fully satisfied with what they create here.

Signature Session

Bridal & Pre-Wedding Sessions

Bridal boudoir and pre-wedding portrait sessions are approached with the same calm, guided experience as any other session at Sleepless Boudoir. These are private, intimate sessions designed for brides who want personal images created in a comfortable, unhurried environment before their wedding day.

Whether the goal is a gift for a partner, a personal keepsake, or simply a moment of quiet focus before a busy season, the session is shaped around what feels meaningful to you. Timing considerations are discussed openly, and scheduling is flexible to accommodate wedding timelines. Hair and makeup are included, and the entire experience is guided from start to finish.

Bridal sessions are handled as custom work. If you're interested, the best place to start is a conversation to discuss your vision, timing, and what would feel right for you.

Custom & Extended Sessions

Custom sessions typically begin around $1,000

Custom sessions are ideal for couples, maternity sessions, milestone moments, or creative concepts that benefit from additional time or planning. These sessions are tailored around your goals and may include multiple looks, locations, or extended shooting time. They're a good fit for clients who need more flexibility or who are working toward a specific creative vision.

Select wedding-related work, including intimate bridal photography and wedding day portraits, is also available on a limited basis. Wedding coverage is handled as custom work, with pricing and scope discussed based on your specific needs, timeline, and requirements. Not every wedding is a fit, and that is intentional. The focus remains on creating something personal and meaningful rather than offering broad event coverage.

Details for any custom session are discussed during the consultation to ensure the experience feels aligned with what you're looking to create. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, documenting a pregnancy, planning a wedding, or envisioning something entirely unique, the session is shaped around your specific needs rather than a fixed template.

Prints, Albums & Artwork

Printed artwork, albums, and wall pieces are available after your gallery is delivered. This allows you to choose only what truly resonates with you, rather than committing to products before you've even seen your images. There is never any obligation to purchase printed products, and many clients decide to keep things digital.

For those who do want something tangible, options range from fine art prints and canvas pieces to custom-designed albums. These are discussed collaboratively after you've had time to review your images, with no pressure to decide immediately. Some clients order prints right away, others wait months or even years. The images remain yours either way.

A Note on Availability & Pricing Flexibility

Session pricing may vary based on availability, timing, referrals, or how images are used. Weekday sessions, returning clients, and certain collaborative projects may be priced differently than standard weekend bookings. Clients traveling from outside Austin or Central Texas are welcome, and scheduling can be adjusted to accommodate. These details are always discussed openly before booking so there are no surprises.

If you have specific questions, budget considerations, or scheduling constraints, the best place to start is a conversation. Pricing is meant to be transparent and approachable, not a barrier to reaching out.
