8/16/20 & 8/22/19…read more Once again Yelp fails to understand what a review is and delete another one of my reviews...fuck you very much:) and now on to my review. Back in February or March I saw and met with a representative at the Dulles Expo Center. This business is one of the attractions that caught my eye. Getting some photos taken with my wife could be a lot of fun. Doing nudes or something risky or out of our comfort zone would be fun. Talking to one of the representative gave good feeling and something I would like to try with my wife. I wish I could remember the name of the representative, but her name escapes me. I do remember some of the promotional photos I saw on this website and knew I had found the right business. Talking with this representative gave me the information and feeling that this business is worth doing. Doing business with them looks good because of the way the representative handled my questions.

I swear he made my body and skin look 10 x times prettier than real life. David was extremely fast at responding to all my emails. Pictures and edits came back faster than expected.

You have to do it!!

I'd been considering doing a boudoir shoot for a while, and a special from Silk & Lace made me…read morefinally take the plunge. I'm so glad I did. My overall experience was amazing. I appreciated that there was a lot of communication and support leading up to shoot because I had never done anything like this before and was pretty apprehensive. Additionally, the actual shoot was phenomenal, and everyone I worked with was incredibly welcoming and put all of my nerves at ease. Amanda (the photography assistant) was the first person I encountered. She was so helpful and made sure I was comfortable. I also found it impressive how easily she anticipated the needs of my photographer, Jenny, throughout the shoot. They worked incredibly well together. My hair and makeup artist, Joie, was so fun and had great energy. It really was the best way to kick off the shoot, and I felt so good after she finished up with everything. Finally, Jenny was an incredible photographer. I was so worried about posing and my pictures looking too staged, but she really took the time to show each pose first (with very simple instructions to follow), which was very helpful. I never felt rushed, and she got some really amazing shots that I thought looked natural. As a whole, they all hyped me up and made me feel so confident and sexy. Truly a great experience. Even my reveal session was amazing from a customer lens. Cynthia showed me my pictures and was so patient while I tried to narrow them down. She gave helpful advice when asked, and I left feeling like I had a solid set of pictures picked out (though it was hard to narrow them down because there were so many great ones). I cannot recommend Silk & Lace enough!

I responded to an ad on Facebook for a discounted shoot, hoping to use the images as a gift for my…read morehusband. I spoke with an associate on the phone, she walked me through the process, told me pricing started at $950 and I wrongly assumed that much money would pay for digital images. After I paid a $200 non refundable deposit, I saw a price sheet that spelled out the specifics for keeping my images. Very expensive and very few digital images are included unless you spend thousands of dollars. I couldn't justify the cost of the experience for only keeping one print so I cancelled. If you're looking to do this only for the experience, I bet it would be amazing but I was hoping to keep the images as a gift.

I am beyond grateful to have been chosen for the Lavish Boudoir Body Love Project…read more I received VIP treatment from Leslie and her staff. I felt like a real supermodel. Lee did my hair and makeup creating a glamorous and flirty look. All I have to say is, watch out Tyra... you have some competition! They created a comfortable environment and helped me get in the mood with an upbeat music playlist that unleashed my inner diva. The overall experience was thrilling to say the least. I truly felt like a super model in New York shooting the cover of Vogue magazine. I was overwhelmed with joy when I saw the quality of the pictures. They were absolutely flawless and captured my inner beauty. I cried and said, "Wow, is that really me?!" I'm still in awe of the phenomenal photographic skill set Leslie possesses. She is a true artist. You might ask why I applied for the Lavish Boudoir Body Love Project. Well, my passion has always been plus size modeling and my dream is to one day be featured in a glitzy magazine or online representing a classy company like Lavish Boudoir. I was told when I met Leslie in person that I was picked sight unseen for this project. She loved my story. I spoke from my heart and here it is... I decided to change my life 4 years ago and make myself a priority. I learn how to live a sober and sassy life, one day at a time. My daughter Presli was my reason why. She deserves the world and I planned on giving it to her. I worked very hard to put all of my broken pieces back together. I learned to love myself and that I was worth it. My mission now is to empower other likeminded women and to lead by example. My favorite quote is " I love the woman I have become, because I fought to become her." I am turning 40 soon and I truly believe there is beauty in every age. I choose to love my body as it is right now and to celebrate my many accomplishments. I will never allow somebody to tell me I can't do something, not even myself. If you have a desire and it burns deep within your soul, I say go for it. Life is too short and none of us have the promise of tomorrow. I would like to thank Leslie at Lavish for the opportunity to share my story and to celebrate the next phase of my life... after all, 40 is fabulous and dreams really do come true. Forever a fan, Staci Lehman

This is what Leslie is meant to be doing and I'm so grateful that I got to do it with her!…read more I have always wanted to do a 40th birthday boudoir photo shoot so I did an extensive google search for the right person. When I got to Lavish Boudoir I was in awe. These photos are beautiful. Sign me up! And I'm so glad I did. The whole process made me feel like a superstar. Started with a beverage, makeup done by a professional and a multiple outfit photoshoot throughout various places in the studio. The photographer, Leslie doesn't just take incredible photos, she also made the experience fun. Yes, at first it's odd to be in lingerie around someone you don't know, but because of Leslie and the professionalism of her company I was extremely comfortable and relaxed. Then the reveal of the photos was also a luxurious experience. To this day, I look at my photos and feel gorgeous and elated that I chose Lavish Boudoir.

For my 40th birthday I decided to ignore the doubts and just go for it and, as luck would have it, I came across Donna's work on Instagram. I could feel her warmth through her infectious smile on her page and website, and all of the photos she took of her clients were amazing!! So, I decided to reach out and I'm glad I did. She made me feel comfortable from our very first meeting! She helped with picking the right lingerie for my body (and what would show best on camera) and she has a ready made hair style and make up team...she really takes the guesswork out of the whole process so that you can enjoy being in the moment. It's one of the best things I've ever done and I feel so amazing every time I look at my pictures!! Treat yourself to this amazing experience with Donna! The memories last a lifetime.

My husband loved the photos and it's definitely added that extra spark into our marriage. I'm crazy about these girls and I can't wait to do it again! Thank you Veronica and Chimere!

Now I noticed that Yelp only has so many reviews of her business showing and the same thing happens to other businesses on Yelp so make sure you scroll down to not recommended reviews or something like that as you get more of the back story on a business. I'm glad I did and am glad I also chose her for my family portraits. I wholeheartedly recommend her for your family portraits as she's a true professional. I've also sent friends her way to get theirs done. Thank you Nicole, great pics!!

We highly recommend her for any professional photography needs and could not have been happier with the photo session or the amazing images that she took.

My girlfriends and I wanted an alternative to girl's night out and we decided to gift ourselves something out of the ordinary. We are all in different paths in our lives, but we all wanted to have fun creating new memories celebrating the women we are today. Sandra's experience behind the lens was such an asset as she was able to guide us thru poses that really complemented the contour of our bodies. Not only did she introduce us to a plethora of different concepts, she also listened to our ideas and really made them come to life. Everything from the hotel to the music to the complimentary champagne and strawberries was just perfect. In fact, we had so much fun that we are already planning our anniversary shoot next year! And the shots are INCREDIBLE! It is so hard to choose, we want them ALL! I could not recommend Sandra more! All you girlfriends out there, this is your moment to make it happen. We used to talk about wanting to do this, but now we cannot believe we waited so long. And trust me, who does not want a revenge body photo? Not this girl!
