Choose Your Session

The first question you might be asked when talking to anyone from Hot Tomato is, “What type of portrait experience would you like?” Boudoir? Pin-Up? Personal Branding? Or maybe something we have never even heard of that would fall in the realm of our Dream Session! Take a minute to check out our portrait session descriptions below and find the session that is the perfect fit for you.

Most of our sessions include professional hair and makeup and a consultation to help you design a session that is custom fit to your style.  When it comes time to order your products we help you with that too. For most sessions you will proof off of 5×7 prints. Many collections include proofs and digitals. Single metal prints start at $250 and albums start at $900. Detailed product and pricing will be provided at your consultation. Payment plans are available at no additional charge and work like a lay away. We have a 100% satisfaction rate and will reshoot your session or refund your session fee if you aren’t in love with your portraits. Since starting this in 2011 and photographing hundreds of women we have only done one reshoot and the client ended up loving her final images.

Boudoir Portraits – Boudoir Gallery

Boudoir – Our most popular session because it is so versatile and sexy! What is boudoir? For Hot Tomato boudoir is a sultry, modern day take on portraiture that is set in a bedroom or other titillating space.

Women often choose a boudoir session as a gift for their love or as a gift to themselves. Many gals use a Hot Tomato Boudoir Session to celebrate a milestone birthday or anniversary, as a wedding gift, or when they have met a personal goal. Regardless of why you are choosing to work with us, we promise, you will walk a way feeling more connected, more confident and with a little spring in your step. No one leaves a Hot Tomato Portrait session feeling grumpy or frumpy!

Make-up leans toward a nude lip, smokey eyes and defined cheek bones. Hair is generally loose and full to imply that bedroom hair look. For you session you will choose the level of make-up and hair styling that fits you! We don’t offer a one size fits all approach -this day is all about you!

Garters and stockings are not required, but are certainly appropriate if you will feel sexy while wearing them. Is lingerie not your style? Never fear, lot’s of gals agree with you, we think t-shirts and sexy panties with a messy bun can be beyond hot – or maybe less is more for you and rolling around in white sheet wearing almost nothing while reading a book is your style.  – sexy is defined by you and we can ensure that you rock your session no matter what your style is!

  • Private Studio Tour and Consultation
  • Styling and Wardrobe Fitting

Pin-Up Portraits – Pin-Up Gallery

Pin-Up – Pin-Up is where Hot Tomato got our start, so you know we do it really well! Do Bettie Page, Marilyn Monroe, Eartha Kitt, Bunny Yeager, and Rita Hayworth immediately come to your mind when dreaming about your ultimate portrait session?  Are a you fan of victory rolls and that perfect shade of red lipstick?  Do you secretly stalk Dita Von Teese on instagram? You might have a secret hidden (or maybe not so hidden) pin-up girl that is screaming to be noticed!

Inspired by the classic pin-up artists of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s we can transform you into a modern day pin-up girl. Classic, Rockabilly or somewhere in between we can tease and pose you into a vintage inspired pin-up model.

Real stockings and a garter belt are paired with a structured up do and winged eyeliner to create that iconic look. Throw in some pearls and the perfect figure flattering dress and you will be “One Hot Tomato!”  Our team will expertly pose you from finger tips to toes and pull in a couple key props with a clean, uncluttered background to pay homage to our cheesecake roots!

Black Label Personal Branding Portraits – Personal Branding Gallery

Black Label Personal Branding – Are you ready to invest in yourself? Are you a small business owner or blogger with a social media presence? Building a new website? Do you want powerful corporate images to fill out your online and physical portfolios?  Are you so busy being the bread-winner and disciplinarian in your family that you hardly ever get to settle into the softness of being a woman? Let’s take Marietta Ohio Boudoir Photographer plenty of time and nourish and celebrate the gifts your body has to offer. You could be all of the above! This is the experience that will help you to reconnect with your personal style and vibrancy.

So what do we mean by personal branding session? Well think of it as a head shot portrait that dives a little deeper  and attempts to celebrate or highlight some of your personality or accomplishments.   *What is the difference between Black Label and a Boudoir Session? The amount of clothes you wear and the posing. Black Label sessions are less about titillating images and more about igniting change in your life!*
