Frequently Asked Questions

General FAQ

These answers apply to all Fox & Vixen experiences. For session-specific details, jump to your section above.

What makes Fox & Vixen different?

Three things set us apart.

• You're guided every step. From the first consultation through your final artwork, we're right there with you. Posing, expression, styling - we direct it all so you can relax and be present.

• Your privacy, your choice. Your images are never shared without your explicit permission. Some clients share everything. Some share select images. Some keep everything private. That choice is always yours, and we respect the full spectrum.

• We create heirlooms, not files. Our focus is artwork for your walls and albums you'll treasure for decades. These aren't photos you scroll past. They're pieces that tell your story.

Where is your studio located?

Our private studio is in the west Pearland area near 288. You'll receive the full address and day-of instructions after booking.

Who will be in the room during my shoot?

Mike will be your photographer. Angi will be alongside you for styling, posing, wardrobe, and anything you need.

You're welcome to bring a supportive friend if it helps you feel comfortable. We prefer not to have significant others in the studio during individual sessions. The exception is couples sessions, where both partners are part of the shoot.

Do you photograph all body types, ages, and genders?

Every body is welcome. We work with women, men, and couples of all sizes, ages, and identities. Our clients range from their mid-20s to their 80s. The only requirement is that you're 18 or older.

The Over 40 & Fabulous Project is specifically for women 40 and over.

Will my photos be shared online?

Never without your permission. You decide what, if anything, we may share.

Clients vary widely in what they're comfortable with. Some release everything for our portfolio and marketing. Some choose a few favorite images. Some keep everything completely private. All three approaches are equally common and equally respected.

The Over 40 & Fabulous project includes a public component. Each participant selects one image for the magazine and the gallery exhibition, and that image must be released for display, including online. The rest of your images can remain fully private if you wish. If you prefer complete privacy, book a standard boudoir or Body of Art session instead.

How do I prepare for my session?

Once you book, we send you personalized preparation guidance tailored to your specific session. You'll get wardrobe suggestions, grooming tips, and exactly what to bring. Simple, clear, and customized to you.

What products can I order?

Fine art wall art and albums for your home. We'll help you choose sizes and finishes that fit your space and tell your story.

How long is my session?

Plan for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours for your photoshoot, with time for outfit changes. Sessions that include professional makeup add about an hour before we start shooting.

This applies to all session types, though we adjust pacing to fit your comfort level and goals.

How long until I see my images?

We schedule your private ordering appointment about two weeks after your session.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. Flexible options are available and finalized at your ordering appointment.

What is your rescheduling and cancellation policy?

With proper notice you may reschedule once without penalty. Session fees are non-refundable and may be transferred to a new date.

How far in advance should I book?

Start your consultation as soon as you can. We'll set your session date during that call. For the best selection of dates (especially evenings), book 4 to 6 weeks out.

Need finished products by a specific date? Here's how to plan backward:

• 8 weeks before your deadline: Session date

• 6 weeks before: Ordering appointment (2 weeks after session)

• Your deadline: Products arrive (4 to 6 weeks after ordering)

• Optional buffer: Schedule your consultation 12 weeks out if you want extra prep time

Note: Products ship once your order is paid in full. We can sometimes rush things, but there's risk your items won't arrive on time.

Do you offer weekend or evening sessions?

Yes. We primarily book evening sessions. Limited weekend dates are released seasonally. If you need a weekend, mention it during your consultation for current availability.

Do you travel for sessions?

Select on-location sessions are available. Travel fees may apply outside Greater Houston.

Do you provide digital files?

Digital files are available with a package purchase, or as digital-only packages. Session fees do not include digital files. Personal-use rights are included with purchased digitals.

What happens during the consultation?

We get to know you, your goals, comfort level, and style. Then we walk you through the experience from start to finish: what the session looks like, how the ordering appointment works, and how to prepare. We answer your questions and set your session date with clear next steps.

What does the ordering appointment look like?

About two weeks after your session, you'll come back to view your images in a private appointment. We'll show you a slideshow of your fully retouched photos, then help you choose your favorites. From there, we'll guide you through selecting wall art, albums, and any digital files you want to take home.

What about professional makeup?

All sessions for women include professional makeup. For men, makeup is available by request.

If you'd prefer to use your own makeup artist, let us know. Have your makeup done before you arrive, and we'll adjust your start time to when makeup would normally finish.

Do you retouch?

Yes. All purchased images include professional retouching. We focus on natural enhancement - polishing the image, removing distractions, and minimizing concerns while preserving natural skin detail and the character of the light.
