<p>I am about to shoot my first paid boudoir session. The client wants to do it in a hotel room since I don't yet have a studio and it's a nice room with some great furniture and locations. I have not met her in person yet but plan to prior to the shoot. We have exchanged ideas via email and she's been very enthusiastic.<br>
My girl friend would like me to have someone else present. I have told the client she is welcome to bring anyone she wants. She responded that she would rather not as it would be a distraction. My girl friend does not want to attend herself. I could propose bringing a female assistant and have a friend who might be able to do it but at this point I suspect the client is assuming it will be just the two of us. I am ok shooting her alone but was wondering what other photographers do in situations like this. Do you insist on someone else being present, use an audio recorder in case there are accusations later? I would not feel right video taping the shoot but I could see secretly having an audio recording going on. The odds are extremely slim but if the woman later accused you of something and you had no one else present then an audio recording might save your butt.<br>
I haven't worried about it in the past when shooting women even alone in my home but maybe that is foolish. Wondering how others handle this?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
