boudoir.. on a budget..

Ok.. aside from the fact that I am still hesitant to do boudior.. the prices also concern me. Because I am in school and only work part time.. I need to do it on a budget. But- I don't want to do my own album- I wouldnt be comfortable sending the photos out!

Does anyone know of photogs that have packages with albums in the $300 range?!

TIA!

    I'm pretty sure my photog (Hinkleyphoto) does them for $400.

    I'm working with Tess Johnson--my whole shoot (including hair, makeup, and album) is $500.  She does have other packages as well.  Her work is really great and I've heard good things about her on the board as well :)

    My photog, Melissa Robotti, is running a "Bring a friend" special for May. Schedule a boudoir session on the same day as a friend, you both receive 25% off. And she is phenomenal.

    Star, she is well worth every penny, even if you can't do the May/friend deal. She just opened a new studio in Reading with several boudoir sets. It's a gorgeous space. Here's her blogpost with pics of the studio:

    Oooooh Starrrr (haha it's funny to type that and not your name)

    I am giving this serious consideration being in a similar boat of having limited funds.  When were you thinking of going and what does it look like the price would be with the discount?

    Unrelated - are you going to the Sox game with EC Alumni on Sun?

    Hey Stacey!

    No I didnt hear about sunday! Actually I havent been getting ANYTHING alumni related lately!

    Pricing- I am going to email you :)

    I'm also using Tess Johnson...it's $300 for photo shoot including hair and makeup and albums are additional...I think albums start around $75 or so...the only thing is she's up in Maine which is a little inconvenient!

    Starr - I would consider doing it in your friend's place.  Just let me know!

    I loved Agniezkia Wormus...she is incredible.  But if the reason you're hesitant about making your own album (which can save a LOT of money) is because you don't want to send out the photos, know that most photographers will just be designing the albums with software and still sending them out to be printed by a third party.  I got my full disc of digital photos from Agniezka and made my own album through mypublisher or blurb (can't remember which, they are both good.)  It was easy, fast, and much less expensive.

    My guy does it for a great price.  He also does ladies night group shoots.  If you get so many girls to sign up, you get yours for a cheaper rate!
