So how much does all of this cost anyway?
Oooh, smart question. Being good with money and only spending it on experiences that feed your soul is important And kind of hot, tbh. ! The cost depends on the session you choose and what products you choose. Women vary greatly on how much they spend. Our past clients all agree, time spent with Hot Tomato is priceless!
Most of our sessions (except HT Head Shots) include professional hair and makeup. Sessions also include a consultation to help you design a session that is custom fit to your style.

Book Your Boudoir Portrait Session – Boudoir Gallery
Boudoir – Our most popular session because it is so versatile and sexy! What is boudoir? For us, boudoir is a sultry, modern day take on portraiture that is often set in a bedroom.
Women 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. Occasions like a big birthday, anniversary, as a wedding gift, or when they have met a personal goal. We promise, no matter why you book with us, you will walk away feeling more connected, more confident. No one leaves a Hot Tomato Portrait session feeling grumpy or frumpy!
Make-up can be to your tastes but traditionally leans toward a nude lip,
smokey eyes and defined cheek bones. Hair is often loose and full to imply that bedroom hair look. For your 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. Maybe less is more for you? Does rolling around in white sheet wearing almost nothing and reading a book or drinking wine is your style. Sexy is defined by you and we can ensure that you rock your session no matter what your style is!
A Boudoir Session is $399 plus tax and includes:
- Private Studio Tour and Consultation
- Styling and Wardrobe Fitting
- Access to our Client Closet
- Three Outfit Choices

Book Pin-Up Portraits – Pin-Up Gallery
Do you have a secret hidden (or maybe not so hidden) pin-up girl that is screaming to be noticed?
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? Are you fascinated with art of burlesque? Do you secretly stalk Dita Von Teese on Instagram? (Who doesn’t?) Or even one of local faves Ruby Royale!
We take our inspiration from the classic pin-up artists of the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s. We also love the old Hollywood Glamour look. We can transform you into a modern day version of a
Pin-up or Hollywood Glamour Queen.
Classic, Rockabilly or somewhere in between we can tease and pose you into a vintage inspired pin-up model.
What do you need to bring your retro vision to life? Start with real stockings and a garter belt. Pair with a structured retro hairstyle 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!”
