I ' M A M B E R L A N E , A N D T H I S I S M Y " W H Y " All About ALP | Page 3 BEFORE YOU BOUDOIR Most women struggle to maintain a positive self image; but why is this? Usually, it's because we internalize the unrealistic physical expectations that we are bombarded with day after day after day. It makes us feel inferior and less-than, and can take a toll on us mentally, as well as physically. I'm here to help with that! You won't find perfection by losing a few more pounds or trying to hide each blemish and stretch mark. You are PERFECTLY beautiful now, and I truly believe that a session with us can help show you that in a way that lasts long after you leave our studio. Inclusivity is incredibly important to me and I LOVE shooting women of all shapes, sizes, colors, and backgrounds. I firmly subscribe to the notion that variety is the spice of life! Bringing out the uniqueness each woman possesses is a talent I've enjoyed cultivating and sharing with my clients. I don't ever want someone to hesitate to work with me because they think they are "not right" for it. You are PERFECT! O U R J O U R N E Y T O G E T H E R ALP is the River Valley's most inclusive dedicated boudoir and maternity studio. Through a passion for photography and a desire to help women discover their own unique brand of beauty, I have developed a glowingly positive reputation for helping women across our state truly believe in themselves. All About ALP | Page 4 S T Y L I N G All About ALP | Page 5 H A I R & M A K E U P Every session at my studio comes with expert hair and makeup application. We work with only the best artists and they know exactly how to make sure you are camera-ready for your big day. Every-day styling is much different than getting ready for a photo session, and putting that important aspect into the hands of a professional is the best way to ensure we get the best images we can. They can match your skin tone, nail the look you want, and work with all kinds of skin. Not only that, but being pampered and treated like royalty sets the stage for an incredible day! Let's face it, most of us don't spend a lot of time giving ourselves more than we need. Having a moment where you get to FEEL as special as you ARE is important, and what this session is all about! All About ALP | Page 6 Natural to Knockout All About ALP | Page 7 TRUST ME, WE BELIEVE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT MAKEUP; BUT THE SELF-LOVE REVOLUTION IS A JOURNEY. FOR MANY OF OUR CLIENTS, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THEY'VE EVER ATTEMPTED TO SEE THEMSELVES THROUGH ANOTHER SET OF EYES, AND WE WANT TO GIVE YOU ALL THE TOOLS TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE! All About ALP | Page 8 Planning your outfits can be one of the most fun parts of prepping for your session, and it's much easier than you think! I love when people use their own closets for inspiration; just look for pieces that make you feel your best and that you instinctively look for when you are wanting to feel sexy or radiant. Don't overlook a simple bra and panty set, your favorite pair of jeans, or a simple dress that makes you feel great when you put it on! There's always your birthday suit, too! If you don't want to wear strappy lingerie or wired bras; don't! We can produce beautiful, intimate images with just about anything and the whole point is to just be yourself and celebrate YOU! It's a good idea to pick out items that highlight your favorite curves and body parts, and that can be lingerie or your favorite band t-shirt or pajama set! A favorite pair of thigh- high socks, a special necklace, or an insane pair of heels work great on their own, so feel free to bring your favorite things and we'll work them in as we see fit! Try to bring something meaningful to you or your partner, and let your imagination run while choosing! A handheld gaming system, pizza, favorite blanket, or bouquet of flowers that scream “you” might make your favorite shots of the day! We'll help you narrow down here in the studio the day of your session, and there's no such thing as too little or too much.

All About ALP | Page 10 OUR CLIENT CLOSET Our client props and accessories closet is always changing and growing, and we love adding that something extra to really make your session special! While we don't supply undergarments or intimate pieces, we do have several items that can be used to accessorize. Our closet features several couture gowns from renowned designer, Catherine D'Lish, that are available at no extra charge to our boudoir and maternity guests. There are feather gowns, silk charmeuse, and even a soft, fluffy pink number! As well as our designer gown collection, we have a number of other items to choose from. There are several maternity-specific gowns and robes that range from stunning vintage finds to new classics from Rihanna's personal lingerie line in striking colors. We keep oversized button-up dress shirts for a classic look, slips and slinky dresses from xs-4x, beautiful dusters in velvet or floral patterns, and even some fur coats that are client favorites! For a small additional fee, we even have a pair of beautiful, blush-colored angels wings handmade right here in the state! We've also been known to drape fabric and create a dress right in the middle of a session! 1 8 All About ALP | Page 11 P O S I N G All About ALP | Page 12 I have been photographing boudoir and maternity sessions for YEARS with overjoyed customers, so I know exactly how to pose you down to your fingertips! You don't need to know worry about a thing, you just simply need to show up for the session and trust my process. I WANT you to look your best, and I will always make sure you do! 1 8 I have years of training in posing (starting with a decade of rigorous ballet training in my youth), and I will always ensure you are posed in the most flattering ways under the most flattering lighting. Once it's time for your shoot, I'll ask you to do simple things like "bring your shoulder towards me," or "bring your chin forward a bit," or "look up with your eyes," etc. It's SUPER simple and, again, you don't need to do any practice or preparing for this. Duke | 102 All bodies are different and what works for some might not work for all. My sessions with HUNDREDS of women have given me the tools to make sure we get images that make you feel your very best! All About ALP | Page 13 S A M E - D A Y Viewing & Ordering Your images will be viewable the same day we have our session. Directly after shooting, we'll take a quick break (usually less than 30 minutes) where you can wind down, have a snack, and relax in our cozy studio space. Once I narrow down your photos to the best of the day, you'll be able to see them! We'll walk you through editing, help you narrow down to your favorites, and answer all of your questions right there while we work together. You won't need to wonder for a week if your photos are good or not; you'll be confident in knowing just how amazing you look! Our clients always joke that they don't know how they are going to choose because they love them all, but we will help you make choices that you love and create an easy viewing and ordering process for everyone who comes in our door. We take care of ordering right then, so all you need to do when you leave is wait for your images to be delivered! Being able to see your images the same day we take them is one of our favorite features! You'll walk out the door KNOWING - not wondering - how good you looked that day!

R E T O U C H I N G All About ALP | Page 15 When you arrive at our downtown loft studio, you will be greeted by our friendly staff, we'll have snacks and refreshments ready for you, and your favorite music playing! We'll sit down and finalize our outfit and styling choices together, as well as go over any last-minute paperwork. We'll get you into hair and makeup, which generally takes about 90-minutes. Next, we move into our shooting space and shoot for about one hour. Afterwards, we take a quick break. This is where I will pull the best images from your shoot and you can relax in the studio, check out our samples, and take a selfie or two. We will choose your favorite images together, decide what products you'd like to order, and handle any other details! In total, it's around four hours of fun, empowerment, and just feeling GREAT! T H E D A Y O F Y O U R S E S S I O N All About You | Page 16 Once you place your order and your final payment is made, it goes into our editing queue. Generally, digital images are delivered via password- protected online gallery between two and four weeks after your session, with your printed products being delivered shortly after. We ask that you allow up to two months to receive your digital and printed products in full, but are often able to accommodate rush orders if you need it back by a specific date, just let us know! We have both pick-up and direct-ship options for your printed products, as well. We can conveniently ship to your door or let you pick it up here to help keep it a secret surprise! Your Order All About You | Page 17 Love your experience with myself and my team? You can earn rewards, gift cards, and more by spreading the love! All of our collections come with digital versions, and we love when you share those with your friends! If those friends book a shoot with us, you can both earn awesome gifts and credits for prints! We appreciate your feedback helping with our already sterling reputation, and word-of-mouth really means so much to us. We can talk all day about how transformative our sessions are, but it's nothing like the testimonial of a friend that you trust. As a small business, our happy clients are what keep us going! We also LOVE reviews on Google and on Facebook! Sharing your experience (and a photo if you feel like it) helps let other people know what to expect from our studio, and we want to make sure the right people find us for their own empowering photo session!
