Frequently Asked Questions
Nani Gross Photo – Where Iconic Shoots Begin
📸 What kinds of photo shoots do you offer?
We specialize in boudoir, editorial, alt fashion, vintage, and expressive portrait photography. Whether you’re booking a bold shoot to feel empowered, an artistic session just for yourself, or need high-impact visuals for your personal brand—we’ve got you.
💡 I’ve never done a professional shoot before. What should I expect?
You don’t need experience—just trust and curiosity. We guide you every step of the way with poses, mood, and energy. Shoots are laid-back, safe, and judgment-free. We hype you up and capture your best angles—without the weird studio vibe.
What should I bring to the shoot?
Bring options! We’ll send you a prep guide after booking, but generally:
Your favorite outfits (yes, lingerie or wild fits welcome)
Accessories or props you love
A robe or something comfy for in-between
Open mind, good vibes
Do you have a studio?
Yes! Starting July 2025, we shoot out of our own private studio in Long Beach, CA. It’s intimate, flexible, and designed for comfort with space for wardrobe changes, backdrops, and creative sets.
🕒 How long do sessions last?
Session length varies by package. “Quick & Dirty” shoots are about 30 minutes. Standard sessions usually take 1–1.5 hours. Premium packages can run 2 hours or more, including breaks and BTS content creation.
How much does it cost?
We offer three main packages:
Quick & Dirty – a fast, no-frills shoot (perfect for content creators, updating your headshots, or first-timers)
Standard – our most popular package with 2 looks and 20 edited photos
Premium – for those who want more looks, custom reels, and studio Polaroids.
Prices start at $275. Please DM to discuss your vision.
Do you shoot NSFW or more risqué content?
Yes, with boundaries. We shoot suggestive, sensual, artistic content that celebrates your vibe—never exploitative. We’ll discuss limits, inspiration, and comfort levels before the shoot. Everything is consent-based.
What about retouching?
All packages include standard editing: color, light, skin tone, and vibe. We don’t over-retouch—our goal is to highlight your natural beauty and the mood of the shot. Extra edits can be added à la carte.
🎞 Can I get behind-the-scenes content or reels?
Yes! Our Standard and Premium packages include custom reels and BTS footage perfect for socials. You can also add them on to other packages.
Can I bring a friend to the shoot?
Absolutely. If having someone with you makes you feel more comfortable or hyped, bring them along. Just let us know ahead of time.
📍 Where are you located?
We’re based in Long Beach, California, with easy access to the surrounding LA/OC areas. We also occasionally shoot on-location—ask us about travel or outdoor sessions.

Can I stay anonymous or private?
Of course. Your comfort and privacy are top priority. We won’t post or share your images unless you give us full, written permission.
