When planning a portrait session focused on silhouette, skin, and posture, the environment dictates the visual outcome. Felipe Restrepo Photography operates entirely on location across Wellington, Palm Beach County, and Miami. Without a traditional fixed studio, every session is built inside a space chosen specifically for the aesthetic narrative: a private residence, a rented Airbnb, or a hotel suite.
As September arrives, the calendar shifts toward fall lookbooks, anniversary celebrations, and early holiday gift preparation. Booking between 48 hours and 60 days in advance secures the required date with a $225 deposit. Organizing an on-location shoot requires specific logistical considerations to ensure optimal lighting, privacy, and comfort.
Choosing the Right Location: Home, Hotel Suite, or Airbnb
The success of an on-location boudoir session relies heavily on natural light and architectural lines. Clients in Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and Boca Raton often utilize their own homes. A clean master bedroom with large windows or a living room with neutral walls provides an authentic backdrop.
For those seeking a specific aesthetic, renting a boutique hotel suite in Palm Beach or a modern Miami apartment delivers high-end textures like floor-to-ceiling glass, marble details, and minimalist furnishings. When booking an Airbnb or hotel, confirm with the property regarding photography permissions and secure corner rooms with eastern or western exposure for optimal daylight.
The Production Timeline and Styling
Every session includes professional hair, makeup, and wardrobe styling to ensure the styling complements the chosen interior. The complete experience spans 90 minutes. Professional lighting equipment is brought directly to the location, adapting seamlessly to whatever room size or ambient light is present.
Posing requires no prior experience. Direction is provided continuously throughout the 90 minutes to shape posture and highlight natural lines. Clients may bring a friend or partner for support if desired.
Investment and Collections
The baseline session fee is $450, which covers the consultation, the 90-minute shoot, hair and makeup, wardrobe styling, a same-day reveal, and five retouched digital images. Following the session, clients select their preferred image collection:
- Esencia: $895 for 15 retouched images
- Musa: $1,695 for 30 retouched images and an 8×8 album
- Icono: $2,795 for every image from the session, a 10×10 album, and 16×20 wall art
Collections can be divided into three installments. Additional retouched images are available at $25 each, and custom albums start at $350. Proofs arrive within 24 hours via a private, password-protected gallery. Once favorites are selected, final retouched files are delivered in seven days, handled by our retouching team.

Privacy and Security
Confidentiality is standard. Sessions are strictly adults-only, verified by ID. Unedited RAW files are never delivered. Selected images may occasionally appear in the portfolio strictly according to the terms set out in the Session Agreement, and never with the client’s name or location.
