Have a female assistant with you.

I have a question for all of you. I have an acquaintance that has contacted me about doing a Boudoir shoot. She wants the photos to surprise her boyfriend with. I have done this kind of photography before, but with trusted close friends. However this is someone that I have not known for long. My question is, in this day and age of law suites and untrue accusations, how can I protect myself against any problems. She has requested that there not be anyone else at the session. I am tempted to turn down the session, but at the same time, I don't want to offend her.

so it goes...
 
If you're uncomfortable, you're not going to get very good photos. Both parties have to feel at ease for it to really be good...

If she can't allow an observer, for both of your sakes, I would just politely say 'No'. IMHO

Very simple. Have a close and trusted female friend present at the session. Let the subject know ahead of time. If she objects, tell her that it is not a negotiable point. You need your "assistant" there for various tasks. If she bails as a result, fine. The choice was hers. You were thinking of turning it down anyway. Additionally, you come out of this with your character and reputation intact.

I agree with this. I shoot nudes very frequently. The model signs a release form that releases me from all liabilities. But having a female witness is a good idea.

Unfortunately, in today's world there is no safe way to determine in advance the intentions of such a request. I think the only safe path is to demand a female assistant be present making a video of the entire session from the knock on the door until the handshake and goodbye at the end of the session. Make sure the video has the audio on. Sad but not worth a chance!
