Beauty & Boudoir

By Oksana Foldager

Let's get started

Anchorage Premier Beauty, Boudoir Photography Studio

Intimate, Empowering portraits for a modern day Woman.
Time to unveil your inner Goddess, Be More, Be You, Be Magical

An absolute honor to be the visual voice for many women I get to photograph and show them through my lens how truly beautiful they are. EVERY body is beautiful and I love helping women see themselves like never before. .

I am a mother of two, a wife, a creator and portrait artist constantly inspired by my own self growth journey, self reflection, self love towards my own body.

My commitment to every client is not only to create a safe space and uplifting experience but have them leave the studio feeling more confident, empowered like a rockstar or super model and most importantly to have those images created for them that will serve as daily love affirmation and be cherished for many decades to come.

My mission is to inspire women to love themselves more, to feel more confident in their own skin and celebrate beauty in every stage of their lives.

Hey, I'm Oksana!

Client testimonials

-Miss R.

Feeling like a goddess warrior
For me, this shoot was done in honor of how far I've come; a celebration of movement, strength and resilience. To capture the experience of coming back stronger and to pause in a moment of grace . Healing doesn't come easy— but with time it will come. I'm filled with gratitude to have come this far.
Thanks Oksana for being a part of my journey.

-Miss K.

Her sessions are as good for my mental and physical health as yoga or therapy, and leave me feeling uplifted and empowered.
I cannot recommend Oksana enough!

-Miss S.

Oksana was so helpful and knowledgeable that she made it feel so easy and effortless while taking amazing photos!! I thought I would be more nervous but I was just excited to finally have our photo shoot. Definitely a huge step towards being comfortable in my own skin!

Rawsome photography studios specializing in Beauty, Boudoir, magazine style portraits, as well as fine art maternity/motherhood portraits. We usually photograph Mondays, Tuesday and Fridays. The studio experience usually starts at 9:30 AM with hair and make up, then photoshoot itself takes 1-3 hours. We are usually done in the afternoon at 2 or 3 pm. You should plan to take a whole day to yourself, and maybe plan to have dinner with your friends or partner, because you will still look fabulous.

Rawsome Photography Studios  is located at 221 E Dimond Blvd. on a busy area of town, right next the coffee shop Caffe D’Arte and RoyalThai . Our studio has tons of natural light and wall space and backdrops for various posing scenarios. The walls are white with Moonstone color vinyl flooring. Minimal, modern furniture,. If you would like to schedule a tour, please don't hesitate to reach out.

You should book  2-3 months in advance before needing your finished products like albums or wall art. We rarely have last minute bookings available and always suggest clients to book at least two weeks in advance if you are not in a hurry to get your album, also due to limited availability but also lack of time prep for your session. 
 When clients book 6 or more months in advance   we usually set up a pre session payment plan, that way  clients don't have  to worry about finances during their session and can get their  artwork  so much sooner

Your session is a full day experience and one to enjoy. We usually start our morning at 9:30 AM with Hair and Make up that lasts about 1.5 hour. After that we have a little session briefing and then the session itself is about 1-2 hours. we are usually done by 2-3pm in the afternoon. Trust me, the time goes by  quick as we usually have so much fun

In order to book a shoot at our studio 50% non-refundable retainer fee  and signed photo agreement is required to book a session (Paypal, AMEX, Visa, Mastercard, Afterpay is available is accepted). Our Studio session experience  fee is included with our base package pre-purchase and that includes Styling and planning consultation, In studio Professional Hair and make up artist services, Photoshoot with talented Oksana ( 1-3 hours). Amount of images and album choice is based on collections client chooses. Our  Collections start at $3000. Typically our clients end up falling in love with more images than they anticipate and upgrade their collection during their photo reveal.
We do offer pre session payment plans, take credit cards and offer  5% cash discount . Upon booking your session you will receive our extensive prep guide that will help you prepare for your Boudoir experience.

The beauty of being Oksana’s client is, all of these questions are answered in COMPLETE detail for you in the Prep Guide which is emailed to you shortly after booking your session. This will cover exactly how you should prepare your face, body, and mind for your photo shoot, as well as a complete list of resources for beauty appointments and wardrobe for your photo shoot! No question will remain unanswered. I pride myself on offering a photo shoot EXPERIENCE to my clients...so expect a very informed process that involves a lot more instruction than just showing up to shoot and being done with it. 

This is probably the most popular question I get….and the answer is simple…whatever you feel beautiful in, because it is about you and who you are with minimal distractions or props. Whenever my clients wear outfits they feel amazing, their personalities shine and their images are so much more awesome. My signature style is pretty minimal, effortless , raw,  elegant, feminine 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. A lot of my clients do bring lingerie sets as well. When it comes to heels, you don't absolutely need to bring them if you wear them once in a blue moon.  Many clients choose to do a nude set, or white sheets set during their session. In a 2 hour photo session, you will typically have time for up to 5 “looks” or outfits (yes, "nude" counts as an outfit)! Don't stress too much about wardrobe, we do have many layering outfits like sheer robes, skirts, cover ups, shawls, silks, fabrics and sheets. Once you've completed the booking process with me, you will also receive a detailed shoot guide that will help you with preparations and wardrobe considerations!

Every session is custom to a client! we will indeed plan the looks just for  you. The best place to start is by creating your mood board or in other words pinterest board with images that you are drawn to that way I can see your esthetic style. If you don't use pinterest, you can always send me the images via social media or email. As an artist the goal is never to replicate other photographer's work it is just for general vision, mood and lighting that we will use.

Ah! I love albums,  I believe they are the best medium to tell your story with gorgeous photographs of you. My clients absolutely love their albums, custom made in Italy and Portugal. We offer Luxurious, custom leather fabric cover, crystal/acrylic cover albums.  We offer both: vegan and  Italian leather options. We also offer personalized gift items that always make a perfect  bonus gift for loved ones. Album pages and wall art produced with a  long lasting archival quality. We offer stunning wall art  like canvas, metal prints, framed and acrylic prints. The print companies that we use are of the highest quality and customer service satisfaction guaranteed. One of my favorite parts of this experience is helping you and guiding you in designing the artwork that reflects your taste and style. feel free to check on my Boudoir By Oksana instagram page Product Highlights for various client artwork deliveries

If you are planning to get your printed artwork to a certain occasion in your life like wedding anniversary or birthday gift etc. You should plan 2-3 months in advance. Once the artwork is sent to print our usual product turnaround ranges from 4-8 weeks. 

Our most popular print items for Boudoir are custom cover luxuriuos albums ranging sizes from 8x8 to 12x12. Our next popular item for boudoir is Wall art. We believe that behind every great woman there is even greater Wall art of herself.  We love guiding our clients in helping select which image would be the best for their home as wall art. 

Our studio is proud to offer in-person (or remote for out-of-state clients) photo reveal and ordering appointments  1- 2  weeks  after your photo session. I  will present my favorite selection of your images from the session ranging anywhere from 40-70 images to choose from. We do this for a host of reasons: First, for your convenience. We've gotten REALLY good at our little system for helping clients decide between images, showing similar images side by side for easy selection, and assisting clients with getting great variety for albums and the perfect wall art pieces.  

This is a touchy subject, but I always try to make the best judgement. While we make the skin look it's best, we keep the "Photoshop" action minimal. I rely on my strategic poses and angles to play down "problem" areas that concern you. We WILL edit out minor blemishes/skin flaws as well as simple things like under-eye circles and small scars (IF you request the scar-removal). My main rule of thumb is, if it’s permanent, it stays, and when it comes to retouching, less is more. 
Many women ask about the retouching of stretch marks. While we firmly believe that your stretch marks are a part of your story and therefore are beautiful, we do also understand many women’s aversion to their own. Our standard skin smoothing process will subtly fade the appearance of stretch marks, but please be sure to request more or less at your photo shoot appointment if you have a different preference. My post-processing techniques are more focused on contrast, skin smoothing, sharpening, etc, rather than body morphing.

Yes! absolutely. I believe that certain images can look super stunning in contrast BW and some images look gorgeous in color.  During photo reveal/ordering appointment I present a variety of black and white and color images to choose from. You will always have a final decision which image you like best.

Yes absolutely. I specialize in custom, professional retouching. You can request me not retouch any of your images or do full retouch. As you may have noticed my style is pretty natural and I do some basic skin smoothing with keeping the texture, also do some light skin editing and background clean up. I can also remove minimal tattoos or scars but only if you make those requests prior.

You may, but we truly don't recommend unless you have your own printer. The reason being, is that I work with professional labs that have high discretionary policies and confidentiality clauses. Meaning, you don't want to send your high sensitive content to conventional labs like shutterfly or else and have somebody take advantage of these images. The labs that I work with are only open to professional photographers and specifically work with wide range of imagery including Boudoir.

04. your fourth frequently asked question will go here on these different lines.

Yes, Girl! you absolutely may, in fact we love when our clients give us a shoutout. There is nothing wrong with being proud of who you are and celebrating your beauty. 

05. your fifth frequently asked question will go here on these different lines.

As an artist, and someone who is passionate about creating gorgeous portraits of women and seeing them feel confident and empowered, I would so love to show that to other women, and also show that boudoir session doesn’t have to be something vulgar or Vicki but in contrast, something timeless, beautiful, feminine. And most importantly I would love to share a testimony of every woman that I photograph on my website. HOWEVER, I also completely understand if you prefer to keep them private. That said, I will not share unless you grant permission. Most clients are so proud of their images that they give me full discretion to choose images for my portfolio and social sharing, some clients prefer that only their faceless images be put in my gallery, some clients prefer to choose the images that are posted, and other clients are comfortable with anything being posted. Just let me know where you stand on the topic and I will honor your wishes! 

06. your sixth frequently asked question will go here on these different lines.

We love company and conversations. You may bring a friend, but when it comes time for your session, we advice your friend leaves the studio as this can be distracting and you may not feel present. I take pride in what I do and give my undivided attention to my clients during the session and I ask for the same in return. It is your time to enjoy and relax and be in the moment.

Our studio policy if you reschedule the last minute meaning, 3 or less weeks in advance your deposit will be forfeited unless there is a family emergency or force major. We ask our clients not to reschedule. the more notice you give us, please give us 4 or more weeks in advance for rescheduling.

My artists maintain an extensive hair and makeup kit to accommodate all skin types and shades and are experienced with all 3 of the main ethno hair proifiles including Asian, Caucasian, and African. If you have skin sensitivities or conditions, or if your hair takes longer than average to style, we will absolutely still be able to accommodate you. Please shoot us an e-mail ahead of time so that we can have the proper tools on hand and also so that we block out the appropriate amount of time.
 To have a full experience at Boudoir By Oksana we  do recommend to take advantage of our complimentary hair and make up services that are included in a session fee or collection pre purchase. From past experience, I have noticed that clients who do their own make up doesn't usually translate very well in photographs. Lucky you, I work with the most amazing team of make up artists in Alaska.

Yes, you absolutely can! most of our client do end up falling in love with more images than they anticipate, yay, go team! our clients end up wanting a nicer album or would love to add a larger wall art to their collections or simply add 10 or more images.

Your photo reveal is the time we sit down to select your images and this is the time you make that final selection. Not to worry though, I have a great system on narrowing it down and always help my clients choose if they are stuck on any of the images that they love. With that said, I only archive the images that are purchased during photo reveal, and store them for up to 3 years. The photographs that were not purchased during photo reveal are usually discarded after 30 days. From experience no one ever comes back for the images that they didn't love in particular. 

Yes, absolutely. Occasionally we get clients who visit from out of state and we do drop shipping to them.

You will be able to select your final images a week or two after your session during photo reveal - ordering appointment. usually it takes around 60-90 minutes. No to worry, my trained artist eye can guide you to make the best selections.

We take all major credit cards. We also offer 5% off cash discount if you pay in full for the chosen collections. We also do in house pre - session and post session payment plans. Payment plans are by breaking down payments to weekly, bi weekly, and monthly payments. Once the payments are done your images are finalized and artwork is ordered.
