10 Questions with Jordan Connor Christie

1. Introduction: What's your story?

Ciao! I'm Jordan Connor - the best compliment I ever received was, "You're an Animal In A Dress, Jc." So that is exactly how I choose to photograph my clients. LAMINA is Animal spelled backwards and around my studio we do a confi-dance! I know how important it is to alchemize that way we feel about our looks by truly embodying our goddexx selves - stepping into the spotlight we tell your archetypal story. Not only do I have a fine art degree in photography + intermedia from Herron School Of Art & Design, I am also a certified yogi and Tarot practitioner. So the unique part of your LAMINA Boudoir experience happens when I pull out the cards during your glam hair & makeup sesh before we even snap your photo, I know the image we will make will be transformative. Trust me! You will want to frame it in gold and hang it on the wall for all to see.

2. What is your experience shooting boudoir?

If only the words "boudoir photography" were uttered during any critique during my undergrad experience! I might have arrived here a bit sooner. Alas, I moved into my current studio, built the brand, and the rest is a growth in progress. I have been working exclusively in boudoir portraiture for the past two years.

3. Where will the photo shoot take place?

I own a private 1000+ square foot studio located in Irvington Indianapolis. LAMINA Boudoir is Indiana's Premier Luxury Portrait Photography Studio. We are LGBTQ+ friendly and work primarily with women and couples.

4. How should customers prepare for the Boudoir photo shoot?

When you book your photoshoot you are gifted our Prep-Guide full of everything you need to know to prepare for your Muse Boudoir Session! We will chat about lingerie and wardrobe options on your consultation call plus determine any Limited Edition Sets you'd like to Add-On. Everything will be known and planned to a T before the camera clicks! Your signed contracts and paid retainer secure your date on the calendar.

5. Will there be a hairstylist and make-up artist?

All LAMINA Boudoir Sessions include your luxury professional hair & makeup artist and custom curated photography collection.

6. What do you do to make your customers feel comfortable for the shoot?

In addition to our consultation call to get to know your deepest desires, a pre-session questionnaire and consent form are sent to the client for inspiration as well as a professional curtesy of consent. No sessions take place without our signed contract, model release or mutual agreement. Any After Dark Sessions carry double the protections at an additional cost. Please ask about model requirements for creative sessions*

7. Are pictures printed or do you provide a digital file?

Depending on the collection chosen models and clients will receive 3-50 images in a private online gallery for high-res digital download. Images that carry a model release will available online and posted, not limited to website, branding, social media, blog posts, studio samples etc. Collections customizing fine art prints or photo albums will be produced and delivered once photoshoots are paid-in-full. An extended menu of á la carte items is available at your ordering appointment promptly following your session.

8. What happens on the day?

On the day of your session you will arrive to my cozy studio on the Eastside of Indianapolis with fresh face and dry hair, please don't spray tan the day before and make sure you do all the tiny things the prep-guide says. I include a blurb about eating breakfast and drinking water for a reason! Don't skimp. I will provide a light lunch if you book the Hecate Collection as that package takes a bit longer of a day to create. Plan to swing to the coffee shop and come back for your same-day-reveal or we will schedule your ordering appointment once the photoshoot concludes. Hair & makeup usually takes about an hour, during which time I ready your Tarot cards to give you an overall identity spread to guide the empowerment. We photoshoot for about an hour or two depending on collections and what images we are creating to produce. Every detail is intentional down to the toes! Yes! I will politely tell you to point your damn toes. And we will have so 👏🏽 much 👏🏽 fun 👏🏽

9. Where will the photographs be used?

This is completely up to you! As a muse you have total control over why these images are made. You may want a small framed in gold image to get ready to hanging in your dressing room or you may need OF cuntent on the regular (hello subs pak please ask). Model Release is NOT REQUIRED for Muse Boudoir Sessions. Should you wish to grant consent for use of images we can opt for the confidentiality agreement and forgo the non-disclosure agreement. Your Eyes Only** Is Totally Fiine

10. What is your cancellation and/or refund policy?

All retainers are non-refundable. Collection fine art products are only produced when paid-in-full and are non-refundable. Any issues with defective art products are eligible for re-print at a standard fee. Lost galleries are eligible for re-issue after expiration date for a standard fee. Images are kept for an industry standard 7 years and are CODE2257 compliant.
