First of all, THANK YOU! We will take that as a compliment of the highest degree…because…well….these women are not models. These women, just like you, at one point looked at the photos on our website and thought “Hmm..I know mine won’t turn out THAT good since I don’t look like a model, but I’m wondering how good she can make me look?” The answer is: Modelesque. We don’t toot our horn about a whole lot, but we are VERY good at this. We know women. we know women SO well, that we know exactly what they will not like in photos. We know exactly how to pose all types of women to look their very very best. You don’t have to know what you are doing in the slightest. We will direct you every step of the way, from helping you to prepare for your photo shoot with wardrobe tips, to posing every inch of you, to coaching your breathing through the session. You just need to show up and TRUST US! 

After we process your images, they will be uploaded to a password protected client portal where you can select your favorite images for your album and download your entire gallery. We will create a draft album and ensure we have it exactly how you want it before printing. All printing is done in-house or (if from a third-party vendor) shipped to our studio before being delivered to you to ensure complete anonymity to outside vendors.

YES YES YES! Our specialty is photographing WOMEN–that’s in ANY level of dress or undress.  Women who shy away from being photographed nude, in lingerie, etc, might be more comfortable doing an off-shoulder blouse and jeans…that’s totally fine! We will send you a questionniare before your session seeking, amongst other things, your comfort level. 

This is probably the most popular question we get….and the answer is simple…whatever you feel beautiful in. Our signature style is the “effortless cool girl” look, which, lucky for you, involves things you likely already have in your closet.  A bodysuit, an oversized sweater, cropped sweatshirt and high waist panties, a robe, sleep shirt…you get the drift.  Some clients opt for lingerie. And many clients choose to do a nude set during their session. Don’t stress to much about wardrobe. We could (and have!) spend an entire hour shooting a client with no other wardrobe than the bed sheets and completely rock it out. Once you’ve completed the booking process with us, you will also receive a detailed shoot guide that will help you with preparations and wardrobe considerations!

First of all, we doubt that anyone seeing your Volkman Photography photos would result in anything other than “DANG GIRL, YOU LOOK AMAZING!”. Our shoot style, if you haven’t noticed, is VERY classic, beautiful, and more about the empowerment of woman than oversexed or something to be embarrassed about. HOWEVER, we can TOTALLY understand if you don’t want your images shared with the public! You can rest absolutely assured that your images will never be shared without your permission. As soon as your session is complete, we retouch your images in-house. We do NOT send your images off to an outsourced editing company leaving them vulnerable to being stolen. 

In the event that you are super awesome and proud of your images and do permit us to use them on our website, your real name will not be used and we will NEVER tag you on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram.  Plus, we are the best secret keepers EVER.
