Boudoir Terms of Service
Written with your privacy and comfort as the first consideration, because trust is the foundation of everything we do.
Boudoir · Bridal Boudoir · Fine Art Nude SessionsBefore You Read Further
Your privacy is not a policy point.
It is the foundation of this work.
Boudoir photography is deeply personal. You are trusting us with something vulnerable and intimate, and we do not take that lightly.
These terms exist to make our agreement clear and enforceable. But behind every section is a simpler commitment:
Your experience, comfort, and privacy remain in your control.
If anything feels unclear or raises concern, please reach out before booking. Every question is welcome.
Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement between Art of You Portrait Studios, LLC, doing business as Art of You Boudoir ("Photographer," "we," "us") and the individual booking services ("Client," "you").
By using this website, booking a session, signing a contract, or submitting payment, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms in full.
These Boudoir Terms of Service govern all boudoir, bridal boudoir, and fine art nude photography services provided under the Art of You Boudoir brand.
Where these Terms are silent, the general Art of You Portrait Studios Terms of Service may apply as a secondary reference.
Who We Serve
Art of You Boudoir provides boudoir photography experiences designed exclusively for women.
Our work is centered on creating a private, respectful, and supportive environment where women can explore confidence, femininity, personal expression, and intimate portraiture in a way that feels authentic and empowering.
At this time, Art of You Boudoir does not offer boudoir sessions for men or couples.
Age & Eligibility
Due to the intimate nature of boudoir photography, all boudoir and fine art nude sessions are strictly limited to individuals who are 18 years of age or older.
No exceptions.
A valid, government-issued photo ID is required before any boudoir session begins.
Art of You Boudoir reserves the right to refuse or discontinue a session if age verification cannot be provided or if there is reasonable uncertainty regarding eligibility.
Art of You Boudoir will not photograph minors in any state of undress or intimate context under any circumstances.
Privacy & Confidentiality
Your privacy is our highest priority.
Boudoir images are private by default.
Your photographs will never be sold, shared, licensed, displayed, or used publicly without your explicit written authorization.
Confidential Handling
Art of You Boudoir does not share, sell, or distribute boudoir images to third parties, advertisers, publications, vendors, or commercial entities without separate written consent.
Professional editing and retouching may be performed by Art of You or by contracted retouchers operating under strict confidentiality requirements.
Professional print labs may receive images solely for the purpose of fulfilling purchased artwork and products.
Anonymity
Your identity remains confidential.
Art of You Boudoir does not publicly identify, tag, or disclose client names unless specifically requested by the client.
Digital Security
Private galleries are password protected and shared only with the client.
Gallery links are never posted publicly or shared with outside parties.
Clients are responsible for maintaining the privacy of their gallery access credentials.
Studio Privacy
Art of You Boudoir is a private studio environment.

Boudoir portfolio use is strictly opt-in.
No boudoir image will be used for:
• Website display
• Social media
• Marketing materials
• Printed portfolio
• Professional competition entries
• Promotional or advertising use
without your specific written authorization.
If you wish to permit portfolio use, you will be presented with a separate Boudoir Portfolio Release.

Booking & Payment
Boudoir sessions begin with a consultation or discovery conversation before booking is finalized.
Your session date is not reserved until:
• Signed agreement
• Required retainer payment
have both been received.
Verbal conversations, inquiries, email discussions, or social media messages do not constitute a confirmed reservation.
Retainer
A non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your session date.
The retainer is applied toward your total investment and is not an additional fee.
Retainers are non-refundable and non-transferable to another client, though they may be applied toward an approved reschedule under the conditions outlined below.
Remaining Balance
Remaining session fees are due no later than 48 hours prior to your session date.
Product purchases, including albums, prints, and wall art, are invoiced separately following your reveal appointment and must be paid prior to delivery.
Accepted payment methods may include:
• Credit card
• Debit card
• Venmo
• Cash
• Approved payment plans
Personal checks are not accepted.
Chargebacks or payment disputes made without valid cause may result in recovery of collection costs, merchant fees, and reasonable legal expenses.
Cancellation & Rescheduling
We understand that life happens and will always try to work with genuine circumstances.
Cancellation by Client
If you cancel your session, your retainer is forfeited.
If additional session fees have already been paid, the following applies:
15+ Days Before Session - Remaining session fees beyond the retainer are refunded.
8 to 14 Days Before Session - 50% of remaining session fees beyond the retainer are refunded.
7 Days or Less Before Session - No refund will be issued.
Previously ordered products remain non-refundable.
Rescheduling
One reschedule is permitted without penalty when at least 7 days' notice is provided.
Rescheduling with fewer than 7 days' notice results in forfeiture of the retainer and requires a new retainer to rebook.
Emergencies
Illness, injury, or genuine emergencies happen.
Please communicate with us directly.
Whenever possible, we will work with you compassionately and reasonably.
Cancellation by Photographer
If Art of You Boudoir must cancel due to illness, equipment failure, or unforeseen circumstances, you will receive:
Full refund, or Priority rescheduling at no additional charge.
No Shows
Failure to appear without communication forfeits the retainer and any balance paid.
No reschedule is offered without full rebooking.
Informed Consent
Consent is the foundation of boudoir photography.
By booking a boudoir session, you acknowledge and consent to being photographed in the styles, wardrobe levels, and creative directions discussed during your consultation.
You are never required to participate in:
Any pose
Any look
Any level of undress
Any creative direction
that you have not agreed to.
You may withdraw consent for any pose or direction at any time during your session.
No pressure. No persuasion. No obligation.
Your comfort and autonomy take priority over any photograph.
Participation is voluntary.
You may stop or end your session at any time.
Ending a session early does not entitle a refund, but your emotional and physical wellbeing always come first.
Art of You Boudoir does not accept booking pressure or session direction from spouses, partners, or third parties.
This is your session.
Your consent stands on its own.
Session Policies
Boudoir sessions take place within a private studio environment or approved location discussed in advance.

Guests, partners, or companions are not permitted during sessions without prior approval.
Recording
Personal photography, behind-the-scenes recording, or video capture are not permitted without written permission.
Timeliness
Sessions begin and end at scheduled times.

Threatening, abusive, inappropriate, or disrespectful behavior toward photographer or staff results in immediate session termination without refund.
Physical Safety
Posing is guided with safety in mind.

Following the active archive period, Art of You Boudoir may continue to retain delivered images within a long-term archive at our discretion.

Images not selected for purchase, rejected images, test captures, duplicate frames, and unedited working files may be permanently removed at the photographer's discretion as part of routine workflow and archive management.

Circumstances beyond reasonable control
Total liability shall not exceed the amount paid for services provided.
