Introduction

Hi, I'm Nomi and I capture beauty, the moments of life that are intimate, raw, and empowering, by bringing out the confidence within my clients. Together we work to showcase your most-confident and badass self. How do YOU define beauty? When it comes down to it, beauty is subjective. So we all have our own perspectives on the matter... However, one thing that is undeniable is the power and beauty of confidence! Confidence is all you need to have a successful session and I guarantee that you won't be able to contain it by the end.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

unfold fold
Experiences range from $250-$3750 and a 20% deposit is required to book. Experiences vary depending on the number of outfits, number of signature-edited images, and any album you receive as a bonus gift. You can always change your package on the day of your session after you see your gorgeous photos. So, wasn't expecting it to be that price? That's ok! I understand that your experience is an investment and I offer several payment options so the shoot is manageable however your budget allows. Once you decide to commission a boudoir session for yourself inquire through my Thumbtack profile! I will be in contact within 24 hours (48 hours if over the weekend) to set up your phone consult where we'll go over the whole process and answer any of your questions.. Your session will only be confirmed once you select a package and pay the 20% deposit. Then we start your personalized boudoir experience. I can't wait to hear from you! xoxo, Nomi We aim to deliver your retouched photos within two weeks. Rush options are available. After your shoot, we take a 30 minute break before we select your images and any a la carte options. You also can enjoy refreshments and the beautiful studio we shoot in. This is also the perfect time for you to take as many selfies as your heart desires (be sure to tag your photos with #boudoirbynomi on all your social media pages). All boudoir shoots include: • Hair & Makeup • Pre-shoot design and consultation • Access to expansive studio lingerie closet • Three hours studio time • Same-day viewing appointment to select your images/products • Professional retouching

I have studied photography at various institutions in NYC. These include Columbia University (where I received my BA), The International Center of Photography, and The Fashion Institute of Technology.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
I feel called to empower women because of my great-grandmother, Selma. She was a famous bra fitter in Manhattan until the age of 95!

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
In my years as a boudoir photographer, more than 400 women have come through the studio doors and left feeling empowered and beautiful. I love that there are no limits on age, size or ability. It’s about showing up and being ready to work at accepting who you are, in this moment. I am here to be of service to you, to create gorgeous photos that you appreciate today and love even more decades from now. I feel deeply humbled to be able to do this work with you...

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

unfold fold
Recently, a woman who was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) reached out to me to have a boudoir session. Despite losing her ability to control her body, she wanted an opportunity to celebrate who she was. Her boudoir session was so meaningful and symbolized how important this work can be in terms of self-acceptance.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

unfold fold
Finding someone who is communicative and trustworthy for this intimate genre is very important. I think someone experienced can take your photos to the next level!

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

unfold fold
I would recommend clarifying what is included in the photo shoot, and look at the quality of the professional images.
