Brandi Linger Photography - Hi everyone! I'm Brandi, owner of Brandi Linger Photography and our sister company, Brandi Nicole Boudoir. We are proud members of the Do More Photography Society offering constant education for us to keep things fresh, along with allowing submissions for the work we do. We are also a member of the Association of International Boudoir Photographers. We are a full-time boudoir studio located on Main Street in Weston, WV offering a luxurious experience to every woman. We photographed over 150 women in 2019, but not only did we JUST photograph them.. we helped them see themselves as the people around them do. As women, we can be super hard on ourselves.. and that’s why these sessions are so important to me. It brings out the confidence that they’ve always had within themselves but may be lost for a while. It’s rediscovering YOU. Feel free to join our Facebook group, with over 2,000 women to get the feel for what a typical session is like, but also be a part of an uplifting community that supports each other.
​
1.What is your experience shooting boudoir? My experience shooting boudoir started 7 years ago. We did local boudoir marathons yearly up until the last two years. Now that we have a permanent studio, we offer boudoir sessions all year round.
2.What’s your experience with posing/directing? We pose each and every client from the hair down to the toes! Heck, I even flop down on the bed and show you myself! One, it makes y’all laugh. Two, it helps to see a visual of what I’m describing because once you work with me you will know I don’t explain things WELL but, once we get you in the main pose, then I always make adjustments as needed.
3.Why do people choose you over other photographers? What differentiates your style from other photographers? I like to think I bring something unique to the table! I think every boudoir photographers goal is to help women regain their confidence and feel like the bad ass that they are! In my opinion, it’s all about who you connect with. Every photographer is still a human and we all have different personalities and different traits about us. We click well with certain people. I think it all boils down to the relationships you have with clients. My clients always leave as friends
4.How long will the session last? Our sessions always last 1-2 hours. If you choose to have professional hair and makeup done, it would last 2 hours. If you prefer to do your own hair and makeup, just one hour.
5.I’m so nervous, what do you or your staff do to help me feel comfortable? Girl, we got you! As soon as you come in you are our friend! We put the music on, we jam out. Hair and makeup gets you all dolled up and feeling your best, plus you’ll share plenty of laughs! Then we try on outfits and make you feel like the total babe that you are! Once we get through the first two poses it’s all down hill from there. Most women, I even find start posing themselves towards the end!! (You’ll never be expected to, but hey if ya feel good, workkkkk) The confidence they leave with is exactly why I specialize in boudoir.
6.How will you help me look my best? We always encourage you through the entire session. “Girl, work it”, “you got this babe”, “look at youuuuu”. We also like to chat about your insecurities (the only time we will bring them up while you’re here) so we can focus on what you love about yourself but also re-introduce your insecurities in a new light so it re brings that confidence back to that area.
7.Do you have a makeup artist that is included or is this an add on or do you not have one at all? Will I get to see the MUA work before the shoot? We work with a professional hair and makeup artist yes. This is an add on. However if you choose to have this option for your session, she will meet you right at our studio! We have a portfolio of her work if you wish to see beforehand, but I promise you she is the bomb!
8.Where do you shoot? Do you have different sets? Can you travel to take photos of me?We have a full boudoir studio on Main Street in Weston, WV! We have multiple different set ups: bedroom, claw foot tub, neon lights, clouds, black backdrop, cough, vintage windows, shower, the list goes onnn. We do travel as well for outside sessions! We do outside session in the water for summer, snow for winter. We’ve even photographed with props such as cars, motorcycles, animals, etc.
9.What happens with my image files after the session? Do you use them in your marketing? We only share photos online that you wish for us to share. We have multiple women that like for their images to be kept private, if that’s your thing you can absolutely assure that we will never share them. However if you’d like us to share them in our private FB group full of women only, we’re down! Trust me, these women will HYPE YOU UP. 2 weeks after your session takes place we will send you an online gallery for viewing purposes with all your hand crafted images. Once you choose your images, we offer digitals/albums/wall art and so on!
10.Do you have a closet full of lingerie I can use for the shoot? Is using your lingerie a add on? Do I have to bring my own outfits?
Heck yeah girl! We have an obsession with buying lingerie for our client closet! We have sizes from extra small to 4x. They are free to use if you wish. We also have clients that bring their own outfits.
11.Can I bring my friend or significant other? Bringing a friend is always encouraged if you wish! Due to Covid currently we have limited that some due to the amount of people in our studio at one time, but we can always chat about it

As women, we can be super hard on ourselves.. and that’s why these sessions are so important to me. It brings out the confidence that they’ve always had within themselves but may be lost for a while. It’s rediscovering YOU. Feel free to join our Facebook group, with over 2,000 women to get the feel for what a typical session is like, but also be a part of an uplifting community that supports each other.
​
1.What is your experience shooting boudoir? My experience shooting boudoir started 7 years ago. We did local boudoir marathons yearly up until the last two years. Now that we have a permanent studio, we offer boudoir sessions all year round.
2.What’s your experience with posing/directing? We pose each and every client from the hair down to the toes! Heck, I even flop down on the bed and show you myself! One, it makes y’all laugh. Two, it helps to see a visual of what I’m describing because once you work with me you will know I don’t explain things WELL but, once we get you in the main pose, then I always make adjustments as needed.
3.Why do people choose you over other photographers? What differentiates your style from other photographers? I like to think I bring something unique to the table! I think every boudoir photographers goal is to help women regain their confidence and feel like the bad ass that they are! In my opinion, it’s all about who you connect with. Every photographer is still a human and we all have different personalities and different traits about us. We click well with certain people. I think it all boils down to the relationships you have with clients. My clients always leave as friends
4.How long will the session last? Our sessions always last 1-2 hours. If you choose to have professional hair and makeup done, it would last 2 hours. If you prefer to do your own hair and makeup, just one hour.
5.I’m so nervous, what do you or your staff do to help me feel comfortable? Girl, we got you! As soon as you come in you are our friend! We put the music on, we jam out. Hair and makeup gets you all dolled up and feeling your best, plus you’ll share plenty of laughs! Then we try on outfits and make you feel like the total babe that you are! Once we get through the first two poses it’s all down hill from there. Most women, I even find start posing themselves towards the end!! (You’ll never be expected to, but hey if ya feel good, workkkkk) The confidence they leave with is exactly why I specialize in boudoir.
6.How will you help me look my best? We always encourage you through the entire session. “Girl, work it”, “you got this babe”, “look at youuuuu”. We also like to chat about your insecurities (the only time we will bring them up while you’re here) so we can focus on what you love about yourself but also re-introduce your insecurities in a new light so it re brings that confidence back to that area.
7.Do you have a makeup artist that is included or is this an add on or do you not have one at all? Will I get to see the MUA work before the shoot? We work with a professional hair and makeup artist yes. This is an add on. However if you choose to have this option for your session, she will meet you right at our studio! We have a portfolio of her work if you wish to see beforehand, but I promise you she is the bomb!
8.Where do you shoot? Do you have different sets? Can you travel to take photos of me?We have a full boudoir studio on Main Street in Weston, WV! We have multiple different set ups: bedroom, claw foot tub, neon lights, clouds, black backdrop, cough, vintage windows, shower, the list goes onnn. We do travel as well for outside sessions! We do outside session in the water for summer, snow for winter. We’ve even photographed with props such as cars, motorcycles, animals, etc.
9.What happens with my image files after the session? Do you use them in your marketing? We only share photos online that you wish for us to share. We have multiple women that like for their images to be kept private, if that’s your thing you can absolutely assure that we will never share them. However if you’d like us to share them in our private FB group full of women only, we’re down! Trust me, these women will HYPE YOU UP. 2 weeks after your session takes place we will send you an online gallery for viewing purposes with all your hand crafted images. Once you choose your images, we offer digitals/albums/wall art and so on!
10.Do you have a closet full of lingerie I can use for the shoot? Is using your lingerie a add on? Do I have to bring my own outfits?
Heck yeah girl! We have an obsession with buying lingerie for our client closet! We have sizes from extra small to 4x. They are free to use if you wish. We also have clients that bring their own outfits.
11.Can I bring my friend or significant other? Bringing a friend is always encouraged if you wish! Due to Covid currently we have limited that some due to the amount of people in our studio at one time, but we can always chat about it

She is always down to try whatever look you are going for, and will lead in the right direction for your specific facial features.

2.What’s your experience with posing/directing? You're definitely going to be sore after your session, but I promise to pose you in flattering, beautiful, tasteful ways to ensure your images leave you feeling sexy and confident.
3.Why do people choose you over other photographer’s? What differentiates your style from other photographers? My boudoir style is romantic, soft, and intimate. I believe clients choose to shoot with me because I make them feel comfortable, confident, and we have a lot of fun during the session.
4.How long will the session last? Clients can choose between a one, two, or three hour session. Session pricing varies depending on length of session. After your session is completed, we will take a 60 minute break, where you can leave and go get lunch, while I cull and choose your best images. You will then return to look over your images and choose the collection/products you wish to purchase. Payment plans will be available.
5.I’m so nervous, what do you or your staff do to help me feel comfortable? We get it! Stepping in front of the lens for a boudoir session is one of the most vulnerable places to be. However, I can assure you, the best boudoir experience is going to be transformative for you! And you are so brave for taking this step and doing this for yourself! To ensure you're feeling brave and courageous, we will have a consultation prior to your session to talk everything through. When you come in for your session, there will be a drink waiting for you: mimosas, champagne, coffee, soda, or water. While getting your makeup done, we will chat, listen to music, and go over the outfits you've brought in, as well as give you the opportunity to pick items from the client closet. We will help you determine what is going to look best on you and make sure you're feeling relaxed and ready to rock!
6.How will you help me look my best? Our make up artists are absolutely incredible; we only work with the best! We will help you choose lingerie pieces that complement your body and make you feel sexy as hell and our posing will ensure that every image of you is beautiful and breathtaking!
7.Do you have a makeup artist that is included or is this an add on or do you not have one at all? Will I get to see the MUA work before the shoot? A make up artist is included with every session fee. You can absolutely set up a trial with the makeup artist, for an additional cost, if you choose to do so. You will also be able to view their work via their Instagram feed.
8.Where do you shoot? Do you have different sets? Can you travel to take photos of me? Currently, we have studio space that we will be renting to do boudoir sessions in. We also have some ideas for some fun adventurous boudoir sessions! We are absolutely willing to travel, but it will be an additional cost depending on how far we have to go.
9.What happens with my image files after the session? Do you use them in your marketing? The images you choose to purchase, are uploaded in a private, password protected online gallery that only you will have access to. We will have 4 Collections + a la carte items for you to choose from (which will include digital downloads, prints, albums, wall art, etc). We never share images without your permission! Every client is given the option to sign a model release, however, if that is not something you're comfortable with, then you can absolutely opt out and those images will only be shared with you.
10.Do you have a closet full of lingerie I can use for the shoot? Is using your lingerie a add on? Do I have to bring my own outfits? We do have a client closet, but we also suggest bringing a few of your own pieces, just in case you don't love what we have to offer! Our client closet is available to every client.
