The boudoir photographer treats her clients to an all-day luxury experience that wraps with the perfect thing to make it last—Casey Quist reviews Zno’s Image Box Album USB Set with a Flush Mount Album.

Bay Area boudoir photographer Casey Quist knows the stakes are high when she does a shoot: “It’s once in a lifetime for most people,” she says. To rise to the challenge, she has built her business around a singular focus on giving her clients the best experience possible. Quist offers them a deluxe package tailored to their tastes, including print options that will make the experience last. “I show them the best, and then they don’t want anything less,” she says. That usually means Zno’s Image Box Album USB Set with a Crystal Cover Flush Mount Album, 16GB crystal Prime USB Drive in distressed leather. “That is by far the most popular,” she says. “Once you put it in their hands, most of them will get it.”

Quist’s clients sit down with her to select the photos they want in their album right after the shoot, which is an all-day-long luxurious affair. “Boudoir photography has such a stigma attached to it,” she explains. “Ninety-nine percent of my clients are people who have never done anything like this before, and are extremely nervous about the idea of actually booking a session for themselves. They get nervous being in front of the camera fully clothed! So you can imagine how scary doing a photoshoot in lingerie must feel to them.” Quist goes all out to make them feel comfortable and special. “I don’t have anybody else coming in,” she tells them. “This day is about you.” It begins with hair and makeup artists, then wardrobe selection, before moving on to the shoot with Quist alone. “I give them a robe and slippers, and I’ve got music and candles going,” she says. “I have catering. I have wine. I make mimosas with edible flowers. Whatever they want.”

Zno’s Flush Mount Album with a crystal cover fits right in with the luxurious experience. “Boudoir is glamorous and elegant,” says Quist. “That’s why crystal and leather are perfect. The books are beautiful, heavy and very well made.” She shows her clients a sample album with all the extras. “I like to add gold gilding to the album in the fancy image box set with the Prime USB Drive,” she says. “All of it comes together in such a luxe-looking package.”

Zno’s affordable pricing allows Quist to build the highest-end album into her package for the client, without trying to upsell or nickel and dime them for the finishing touches. “I’ve already planned for them to pick the most luxurious thing there is in my cost of goods, and my pricing includes a replacement album should they ever need it” she says. That is how she backs the albums with a lifetime replacement warranty.  “I’d have to raise my prices significantly to offer that same level of service to my clients with other labs,” she notes.

She also mentions that it’s not just Zno’s print products she loves; Zno’s cloud-based software has totally changed her workflow as well. With Zno Designer, Quist can easily upload her boudoir photos right from Zno Gallery to Zno Designer, which offers maximum customization and is super easy use. This way she is able to create a perfect boudoir album every time.

Quist says that many of her boudoir clients walk in the door with the idea of creating an album as a gift for a partner or spouse. At the end of the day, when they sit down and look at their own images along with the Custom Studio Sample album, she often sees a change that makes her smile. “It’s kind of a magical thing once you put it in their hands,” says Quist. “They always think it’s for the other person until they’re seeing the pictures and experiencing the feeling. And then all of a sudden they go, ‘You know what? This is really for me.’”
