HEY GORGEOUS! My name is Olesha, and I started this journey in 2007 with a canon Rebel, a new photography degree, and a wedding in a barn in West Virginia. The most fulfilling part of the entire day was seeing my bride instantly light up when she saw her entire wedding look come together. I absolutely loved seeing the joy reflected in her eyes as she saw the pairing of her flawless makeup and perfect hair with her wedding dress. Shoot, I even cried when she started crying, I couldn’t help it! I am a hopeless romantic, and I have a ridiculous romance novel collection to prove it. The indescribable feeling I got each time I shot has always stayed with me. I soon realized that when a woman knows without a doubt that she is beautiful, sexy, and ethereal, she could conquer the world! That’s the point when my purpose in life became clear to me. I want to make every woman feel empowered and absolutely gorgeous; flaws be damned!
"I AM ALL ABOUT ENCOURAGING YOU TO EMBRACE YOUR SEXY AND BEAUTY. DON’T BE SURPRISED IF YOU HEAR ME YELLING, GORGEOUS! BEAUTIFUL! GO AHEAD SEXY!" During a boudoir session, I aim to create a unique, memorable, and luxurious experience around the most important person in your life, YOU. My number one goal is to celebrate what makes you uniquely you! The you that is sexy. The you that is silly. The you that can get a little wild. Throughout the boudoir shoot process, it's my mission to facilitate positive energies and help you bask in your glory of being a goddess. A badass goddess! Like Kendrick Lamar said, he is “sick and tired of Photoshop.” I am too! There is no one like you in the world, and that’s why embracing your natural beauty is so important to me.
10 FACTS ABOUT ME 1. I shoot my sessions without shoes on. 2. My dream is to visit all 50 states. I have 36 more to go! 3. I'm a Virgo just like Beyonce & King MJ! 4. I am an avid reader, reading two books monthly. My favs are contemporary romance, business, and self-help books. 5. I have been an educator for the last five years. I have plenty of stories, which I usually share during my sessions. 6. I am #TeamAndroid all day! BUT I do love my Mac, Silver Surfer and iPad Mini Silver Surfer.
7. I LOVE to eat! I always look forward to breakfast, lunch, dinner, and my snacks sprinkled in between. 8. I love music. All music. In fact, my favorite song of all time is "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. It never gets old or goes out of style. 9. Some of my favorite music artists are: James Bay, Jidenna, Old Kayne, Bruno Mars, Alessia Cara, Maroon 5, Al Green, India Arie, Jessie Ware, George Michael, Whitney Houston, and Amel Larrieux. 10. I have a slight addiction to social media.

THE OH EXPERIENCE When you first walk into my studio, you’ll notice it is a place of peace and relaxation. Here, you can leave your stresses and troubles behind and be enveloped in the scents chamomile and lavender. If you will, indulge in a beverage of your choice and then be whisked away to make up and wardrobe. While you’re being professionally beautified, we will chat it up about everything, including your vision for the shoot. This personalized service extends to your session as well. Once you are ready, we will discuss your wardrobe in relation to the photography sets. The poses we select will be catered to your body, enhancing your best features and minimizing the areas you would rather hide. Your experience from start to finish will last around four hours, including professional make up, wardrobe, and the photo session. After the OH Experience, more magic happens! I enhance your images with the latest Photoshop technology and my unique editing techniques. Approximately three weeks later, you will return to the studio for the big reveal and see the final images from your experience for the first time! 6

10 TIPS ON HOW TO FEEL RELAXED & SEXY WHEN BEING PHOTOGRAPHED 1. FOCUS ON HAVING FUN Your sole goal at your experience should be having fun! Don't worry about the outcome of the images or whether they're perfect – that’s my job :) Everyone looks their best when they’re genuinely having a great time. 2. VISUALIZE I know this is very Tony Robbins of me, but he’s not the only one who recognizes the power of visualization. Make it a practice to visualize your experience where you're having a great time, feeling sexy, everything going smoothly, seeing the photos, and loving them. Be specific and visualize from your point of view, as if you’re in it. 3. GET INSPIRED Look at movies and art for inspiration, tear pages out of magazines, and begin to recognize your style and sensibility. Think of what is sexy to you? This will help you communicate with me and help guide your experience. 4. SHOW UP WITH ALL YOU’VE GOT When I say show up, I don’t mean to just show up. Bring it! Be open! Do not let your fears control you! This is your time to shine and allow me to capture it all. Stretch outside of your comfort zone and I promise your experience will be a success. 5. BE SENSUAL Use your five senses during the shoot: music will be played, have a bite of chocolate, sip a glass of wine, put on your favorite scent, wear an outfit you feel gorgeous in, and think of memories that make you blush, smile, and sweat.

6. BE SILLY Shyness tends to go right out the window after the first few minutes of being silly during an experience. I even embarrass myself frequently (not always on purpose), but this usually puts everyone at ease. Focus on having fun! Go overboard with your silliness. It’s much easier for me to tone you down than to fire you up! 7. CREATE MOVEMENT I often hear "But, I don’t know how to pose." The solution to that is creating a little action so there’s energy in every shot. C’mon girl! You know how to flirt! While on a shoot with me, I can show you some sexy moves ;). Do not forget your eyes and smile. As Tyra says, SMIZE with your eyes!” 8. REMEMBER THE CONTEXT The sheer fact that you’re in front of the camera being photographed is damn sexy, powerful, and vulnerable at the same time. This is an unbeatable combo–ENJOY IT! 9. FAKE IT I’m not telling you to fake the real deal, but if you don’t feel 100% confident and sexy while on a photo shoot, FAKE it until you do! Think of a moment when you felt your most confident and sexy. Take that moment and use it for your experience in front of the camera. Bring out your inner goddess! 10. BE YOURSELF Honor who YOU are in this very moment. It’s so important that you feel completely sexy. Please don't think you need all the planets to be perfectly aligned and your bangs to be the right length in order to celebrate you. The time is NOW. You are sexy and beautiful just as you are.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CAN I MAKE PARTIAL PAYMENTS? Yes, just let me know if you’d like to make partial payments for your boudoir experience when you contact me to schedule your shoot. After paying your retainer to secure your scheduled date, you will receive an email with an invoice with the balance that you can make payments toward with an easy-to-use online payment system. How often you make payments and how much is up to you, as long as the balance is paid 5 business days before your shoot. The further in advance you book, the less your monthly payments are - it is great for those clients on a budget, or those who would like to keep this a secret with smaller payments. You can also make payments on your product order. After you pay 50% down, you will have six months to pay the balance due. Products can be picked up or delivered 7-10 days after your final payment is made. I AM NOT A MODEL. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO POSE. HELP! No worries, I got you! During our initial consultation, we will discuss the features that you know are your best. We will also talk about what features you would rather hide. With this is mind, I will select poses that enhance your best and hide the rest. I will also show you how to pose by demonstrating myself! Which is sure to make you laugh… trust me. Your selection of clothing or lingerie will also assist in flattering your best features. In other words, I got you!

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY EXPERIENCE? This is a fully customized experience from the initial consultation to the day you receive your merchandise. With this is mind, I typically book experiences 4 – 6 weeks in advance. This time frame is important to ensure any merchandise created will arrive in time. If time is not a factor, then by all means, call me! WHERE DOES THE SESSION TAKE PLACE? Your session will take place in my home studio in Upper Marlboro, MD. Exact location will be provided to you once you’ve confirmed your session with payment and client information form. CAN I BRING SOMEONE ELSE WITH ME TO MY SHOOT? I prefer to work with clients individually so they have my full attention. Sometimes having someone with you –even a best friend– can be distracting because the attention isn’t completely on you. If you do decide to bring someone, please give me a heads up before your session and limit guests to one person. While I’m photographing your session there are no other folks in the room – your friend can relax in the make room/ wardrobe area. If your friend, partner or husband wants to meet me to ensure I am not an ax murderer, they are welcome to come and meet me as you are arriving! DO I BRING MY OWN LINGERIE? DO YOU HAVE ITEMS I CAN WEAR? The best thing to do is to bring your own lingerie to ensure you have items that fit you perfectly and that you LOVE! I do have lingerie items in the wardrobe for you to try and be photographed in. Please make sure to wear flesh tone undergarments.I also have a selection of necklaces, gloves, etc.
WHAT IS YOUR REFUND POLICY? CAN I RESCHEDULE? If it is one thing I know to be true... life happens! However, if you contact me to reschedule with less than 14 days notice, you forget about your appointment or you reschedule more than once, the portion of the session fee that you’ve already paid is not transferable. When you sign the contract, I’m blocking that day and paying a makeup artist to block their calendar. I’m also turning away people interested in shooting that day. If you provide more than 14 days notice, you may transfer the portion of the session fee you’ve already paid to a future date within 60 days of your original session date. Due to the custom nature of a boudoir session, the session fee and anything you purchase is non- refundable. I am committed to working with you to ensure you love your photos. You’ll have final say on all retouching and you’ll see all album layouts before they go to print. CAN I PURCHASE ALL OF THE PICTURES TAKEN DURING MY SHOOT? The short answer is no. There are hundreds of pictures taken during the shoot, and it is expected that the majority will end up on the cutting room floor for various reasons. Only the very best images will be selected for editing, and this is where you must put your trust in your photographer. IF I CHOOSE TO HAVE MY BOUDOIR SESSION DONE IN A HOTEL IS THAT INCLUDED? The studio is available to use for free. If you would like to do your boudoir experience in a hotel, you'll need to pay for a one night stay at that hotel. An on-location fee of $200 will apply.
I'D LOVE TO GIVE A SESSION AS A GIFT. CAN I DO THAT? Of course! Gift Certificates are available for session fees and/or products. MY SESSION IS BOOKED. HOW DO I PREPARE? In preparation for your shoot, please think of the following things: Hair touch-ups, waxing, eyebrow shaping, manicure, pedicure, and moisturizing. I'M A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT NUDITY. Nudity is certainly not necessary and I will not push you to go further than you feel comfortable with. Sexy isn't always about how much you show, it's all about how you show it! There is nothing wrong with leaving something to the imagination. DO YOU OFFER ANY DISCOUNTS? Have 3 or more friends interested in boudoir? Get a 10% discount per session when 3 or more ladies book any full-session for the same day! I’M ENGAGED AND WOULD LOVE TO GIVE THIS TO MY FUTURE HUBBY AS A SPECIAL GIFT. WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY SHOOT IN ORDER TO HAVE THE PICTURES READY BEFORE THE WEDDING? First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! Bridal boudoir sessions are extra special because they celebrate the beginning of one of the most important stages of your life. For all my clients, including those interested in a “bridal boudoir” theme, I recommend booking a session three months before the desired date of product delivery. As soon as you’ve decided you want to go on this journey with me as your boudoir photographer, book your session! No matter how early on it is. Bridal boudoir season is similar to wedding season for photographers, so you can imagine how busy things get around wedding season! 15
