A Boudoir By Jen Candela experience is second to none. We specialize in creating ART of life long memories. We ensure a luxury, high-end, customized experience, and a REAL personal connection. We create an enviornment that is relaxing, safe, fun, high-end, respectful and absolutely non-judgemental for all to be and feel TRULY FABULOUS. We offer a top quality experience, Premium Print Portraits of many sizes on the CANON paper with CANON INK , High Quality Albums, and so much more. Other "photographers" may charge less or claim a certain skill set however not all is always to be true. Lots of them CLAIM they are PROFESSSIONAL however they have mediocre camera / editing / posing/ lighting skills , are unprofessional , and use mediocre equipment which all create a very low quality image with you all along having an expectation of getting high quality.

This is the infamous question everyone always wants an answer to. I have to say I have 6 children I love very much, and just may happen to love my camera gear almost as much;) FYI Yes! I am a Canon girl/lover for sure. Of course I can't forget to add in our absolutely fabulous videography equipment also. Canon 5D Mark IV Camera (Primary) Canon 5D Mark III Camera (Secondary) Canon 35mm f/1.4L Canon 50mm f/1.2L Canon 85mm f/1.2L Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L II DJI Phantom 4 Pro - We use this for videography and still images to capture moments for all outdoor events as well as Real Estate and Land. ** Studio Equipment ** Elinchrom Pro HD 500 x2 Elinchrom Soft Box x2

WHY NOT ? ! Is more of the question. Jen is a mom of 5 , a wife , an entreprnuer, a teacher, and above all a professional photographer. She has learned over time feeiling a certain way about herself ( good or bad) doesn't change the out come of life. Not appreciating who you are and what your beauty is all and all , is a disservice to yourself. We are worthy of feeling confident and shouting it to the world. We are so hard on ourselves but yet we dont really see and value our true beauty. CAPTURE IT! you won't alway's look like you do now! for many reasons. However the memories of what you did look like will be priceless to you and your loved ones at some point. Give your children a chance to see their mom in a super confident way with being proud of herself as a woman not just a mom. If that's not your story, that's great also. You absolutely NEED to capture yourself and in all your glory of womanhood.

BOUDOIR By Jen Candela is located in Spring Hill, Florida. Just north of Tampa. We serve all of the Tampa Bay area. This includes but is not limited to Lakeland, Land o' Lakes, Lutz, St.Petersburg, Odessa, Clearwater, Sarasota and much more.

Yes! We sure do ! Local travel is considered any distance with in one hour or 45 miles from our location in Spring Hill, FL. Due to the time increase for travel, equipment break down , transport, set up, on - location sessions outside of the 45 miles radius will require a higher fee. Standard travel time per hour is $40.

From years of experience, I have found it best to not have anyone else accompany my clients. When a friend(s) or significant other tags along it tends to be a hinderance to the client. The session is about my client having an amazing special experience to the fullest potential. Feeling truly relaxed and comfortable is essential in creating the most beautiful portraits possible. Also, due to using studio equipment on-location or in studio, space is limited.

There are tons of ideas of where and how to display your images. You may think you need to keep them private if you have children, if so you can take a series of images that are less provocative or do a Glamour session yet still capture plenty of sexiness. Albums and mounted prints are always a great option as well. Get the best of both world with these options since they can be displayed or kept more private.

We offer an in-studio option , however if your wanting a particular place such as a luxury hotel we can definitely accomodate you. Another on-location option can be your own home. We use professional studio lighting, the need of natural light only "on- location" isn't a necessity for us ike it would be for other photographers. So the possibilities are endless!

Yes! Absolutely! If you have a special place in mind please let us know. We love the idea of new places to add to our creativity. Would be best to schedule your session during the cooler months. I'd suggest late September- Early December ( it's florida so we all know anythings is possible in December lol!) March- late May. This is the best way to assure you hav an amazing time but also look your absolute best. Even water proof makeup doesn't up well in the dead heat in the warmer months lol!

Sessions Fees start at $199 and vary based on each individuals needs.Check out the INVESTMENT tab in the header above for options. We offer INTEREST FREE FINANCING !

A contract is a very important essential for all of us. This provides you a secured date and time for your session as well as an understanding of what is included in your session price. It also outlines the client/photographer relationship. You may request a copy of our contract in advance if you would like to take extra time to review it before your session.

We do require a non-refundable 50% retainer fee to secure your session date. This ensures that your date is secure and protects us both from last minute cancellations. (Weather and illness reschedules are discussed below.)

Occasionally, unfortunate events will require a Plan B. To avoid risk to my equipment, I do not shoot in any form of rain. I may also choose to make a professional assessment of cloud cover if I feel that it is too dark or stormy looking to create beautiful photos. If I feel that the weather is not conducive to shooting a session, I will contact you to reschedule.

If you need to reschedule your session, please let me know as far in advance as possible. Rescheduling is subject to a $35 fee within a 30 day window of your scheduled session date. If you reschedule within a 7 day window of your scheduled session it will be a $60 fee. One "reschedule" per retainer.

A lot of work goes into planning for a session including scouting locations, gathering props, etc. For this reason deposits/retainers are non-refundable for sessions. Due to the nature of pregnancy, having possible complications and an unknown date for birth, your retainer can used towards another session such as Family, Newborn , or Boudoir up to 6 months from the original retainer date.

It all depends are you specific circumstance really. If your treating yourself, you could book in as little as one week in advance if we have availabilties to meet your schedule, but if you are planning on surprising a significant other, planning a "Girl's Night In" or a "Girls Day Out" I'd suggest a minimum of three weeks. Any session planning to add a photo album, canvas, I alway's advise to book a least a month in advance to ensure your items are available in a timely manner.

Yes! I have a wide variety for each type of session as well as accessories.

Absolutely! That's one of perks with a BOUDOIR By Jen Candela experience. Jen will pose you in the utmost flattering ways to accomadate all your assets as wells as hide what you "feel are flaws" ( spoken about previously during consult ) With a combination of the right wardrobe and posing you can guarantee to feel amazing. Jen will also want to capture you in candid ways to show your true personality with out it feeling so "produced" at times.

It's totally up to you! There is zero expectation of posing nude for a boudoir session. There are some amazing creative poses and styles that would work best with being nude.

Retouching and making my clients feel beautiful is what we take great pride in. We want everyone to love the captured moment instead of focusing on possible flaws they may feel they have.

It is our policy that no unedited images will be given to clients for any reason. Your gallery will include photos that we have carefully chosen as the best based on my professional expertise. During our in -person order session you will have the choice of which images to choose. Those will be edited and provided to you but no other images including unedited or raw files will be provided.

We currently offer the option of 6 months interest-free financing through PayPal Credit Also credit card, and debit card payment option. I highly recommend getting pre-approval prior to your session so that you know exactly how much of a budeget you can work with.

Password Protected Proofing galleries are on our website for clients to view their images. However at no time are images shared. The only time an image will be used is when a "MODEL CALL" has taken place and a Model Call release has been signed previous to doing so. If a client asks permission to display their images online, we offer images with our logo that are sized for social media, this ensures the integrity and quality of the images to be shared. We always welcome an awesome "shout out" from our clients. Feel free to share your Social Media sized images and hashtag them with #boudoirbyjencandela #Jencandelaphotography of course don't forget to "follow" us on Instagram :) P.S.
