I received my album having been away for a few days and wow!!!!!…read more I am so thrilled with the results. From the very first time I reached out and received Andy's response I knew I wanted to go ahead with this adventure. And what an adventure it's been. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! I'm so happy with the results and I had so much fun with her and her amazing make up artist on the day. Two awesome women with make up, a camera, some great lighting and champagne? Pretty perfect day! I felt beautiful, comfortable and most importantly had so much FUN. I have wonderful memories from this whole experience! I'm sure you're sick of hearing it but THANK YOU! It must be so fulfilling to have a job where you get to make women feel like the best versions of themselves.

A boudoir photo shoot had been on my bucket list for a long time. I was engaged and thought it…read morewould be the perfect wedding gift, but can't say it wasn't a gift to myself as well. I researched different photographers and Andrea caught my eye for 2 reasons: her beautiful, timeless and elegant photos and her dialogue around doing a boudoir photo shoot. She starts with introspective questions about what you want to portray in your photos. She nurtures a healthy body image along the way and makes you feel your best from the inside out. That is truly her magic. The day itself was so special where I got to step out of my normal routine and into the routine of a super model. Andrea and her team had every detail worked out, so I could just relax and go with it. I visited Andrea again to review the photos to choose my favorites. There were too many and I ended up making the book bigger to solve that "problem." The end product is two books (boudoir + fine art) full of beautiful, professional photos. I gifted the book the morning of our wedding day and my now husband was absolutely floored. They now live on his nightstand and we both look at the often. Thank you, Andrea! When can we do it again?!?!

I was blown away by the experience and the final product. Working with Cheshire was awesome from…read morebeginning to end. I actually found him after speaking with a different boudoir photography company whose ad I had seen on Instagram; I decided to do some research before committing to anyone, and found Cheshire on Yelp, checked out his website, and put in an inquiry. He called me very quickly and the conversation was so different from the other places I spoke with! Instead of just laying out "here's how it works, here's what you get for this price," etc., he asked a lot about what I was looking for, what I hoped to get out of it, my motivations or inspirations, etc. That personal touch carried throughout the experience. He consistently made an effort to understand what I was looking for--from the planning process to the photo shoot to going through the photos afterward--to make sure that I got exactly what I was hoping for. The photos themselves are absolutely awesome. It's incredible the different looks and feels he creates in a relatively small studio. More importantly, he just has an incredible eye for what is going to look good and how to create looks, moods, etc. I felt super comfortable the whole time, and I think that shows in the final product. Everyone who has seen my pictures has been blown away. He's way more than just a photographer; he's a true artist. Never in a million years had I ever imagined having a giant naked photo of myself on my wall, and yet here we are...and everyone who's seen it has been amazed. Can't recommend him highly enough!

I brought four outfits from home, but ended up borrowing from the studio one amazing piece. Along with shoes and jewelry this studio was stocked. Christina the owner and photographer was so talented. I never felt rushed. She did not seem like she was in a hurry. She made sure I was positioned to be the most flattering and would help me adjust things as needed. Once my session was over, she explained to me the process for getting my album. She gave me options for the cover and let me choose the photos I wanted in the album. Along with that came a flash drive with all of my photos taken on the day. Within two weeks my album arrived at my door and it is beautiful. I would recommend this studio to anyone who might be afraid to do a session like this. I was never uncomfortable and I'm not normally photogenic. This was a great experience!

I didn't think I would be comfortable and really didn't know what to expect. I met Christina and…read moreright away I felt like I made the right choice. Christina made you feel so comfortable in your own skin. I had a great experience and had so much fun!!! I would love to do it again! Next time it will be with my bestie!!! I am so happy I did it. I inspired others to do the same thing. Christina and her makeup artist will doll you up and beautify you. It will be ALL about you. If you're on the fence and kinda shy, go see Christina. She's great and you will have an amazing photo session!

For the past 5 years, I've completely dedicated myself to my children and family. It's become a large part of my identity and I needed a reminder that "mommy" isn't the only title that defines me. I wanted to reclaim the strong, sexy, and stunning part of myself and Natalia made it possible for me to do that. I booked a session with her for my birthday this past October and the experience exceeded my expectations. She was very professional, scheduling a consultation before we even set a date to answer all my questions, go over details, and to set expectations. Leading up to our shoot, we shared a Pinterest inspiration board. I had outside-of-the-box boudoir ideas and Natalia was extremely receptive to capturing something beyond the ordinary. When the day arrived, I got to spend a few hours playing the ultimate dress-up and indulging the fantasy-nerd in me. I felt confident, empowered, glamorous, and alive! Natalia was warm and vibrant; made me feel like I was hanging out with my best friend. As a woman and a mother, herself, she really understood my feelings and helped me bring out the best in myself. While the shoot took place during the flatter part of the COVID curve, she took all safety precautions and I felt very safe during our session. Several weeks later, I got a beautiful album and series of photos that truly reflect my inner goddess! Definitely one of the best investments that I've ever made. Natalia allowed me to have a wonderful experience and exquisite keepsakes that I can admire for a lifetime. This was truly a gift and worth every single penny!

Awesome experience!…read more I recently had reached out to them as I had lost my pictures from a few years ago, and thankfully they still had them and was able to re-send them to me!

I cannot recommend Gusto and his creative partner (and wife) Rocio highly enough. Their style is…read moreeditorial and elevated. What really sets them apart is the experience. They went so far above and beyond for me: helping curate outfits, layering in accessories (including GORGEOUS fresh flower bouquets) I never would've thought to try, and even assisting with multiple makeup looks to match the creative direction of each setup. Their teamwork is seamless with Gusto behind the camera, Rocio styling and perfecting every detail. I felt like I had my own glam squad and creative directors wrapped into one. But the best part was they made the entire shoot fun. I walked in a little nervous, and within minutes they had me relaxed and feeling completely comfortable. They hyped me up the whole time and somehow managed to make me feel both confident and totally myself! Also unlike many SF boudoir photographers who only give you a tiny handful of images to select from, Gusto and Rocio delivered a beautifully curated list of dozens of selects plus hundreds of additional options to choose from. I had so many favorites that narrowing them down was the hardest part of the whole process. Also their turn around time was SO fast I got images within a matter of days. If you're considering a boudoir session and want artists who truly care about the craft and about making you feel amazing, look no further!!

I always leave our shoots feeling confident, beautiful, and excited to see the magic he's captured. If you ever get the chance to work with him, don't miss it he's truly one of the best doing it right now.

I cannot say enough positive words about the talented Lone Morch.

It is an honor, privilege and pleasure to know her and it breaks my heart knowing she won't be back in the SF Bay Area for the foreseeable future due to the pandemic.

If there were one word I could use to describe my photo session at Lolo's Boudoir, it would be:…read morebaptismal. That may be far too dramatic a term but it really sums up my inspiring photo experience with photographer Lone Mrch Schneider. My 34th birthday was approaching and I wanted to replace the standard feelings of gloom about growing older with a more positive experience. Indulging myself with a sexy and revealing boudoir photo session was the best birthday gift I could give to myself. In a serendipitous way I happened upon Lolo's Boudoir website (www.lolosboudoir.com) and instantly knew she was the one. Her photographic style instinctively appealed to me: ethereal but natural, timeless, spontaneous, sensual and revealing yet at times coquettish. I can't claim to be an expert on the art of photography but I have strong opinions on what I like and don't like. So many other photo boudoir websites had revealed to be tacky, campy and very artificial. Lolo's Boudoir has heartfelt style. Before our session I felt a little self conscious and I had warned Lone that I might prove to be one of her more 'curvier' clients and that given the wrong angle I might not be one of her most photogenic! She reassured me through examples from her portfolio she would discover the best I had to give. Lone possesses artistic mindfulness. She kindly encouraged the real me to the surface and helped me uncover the beauty I thought I never possessed. The entire experience was an awakening and rebirth of my sensual spirit. Lone has the magical ability to transform any environment. We had an outdoors photo shoot where she transformed the forest into a starlet's dressing room. Lone's gentle, fun and professional personality allowed me to shed all inhibitions. I spent a cold winter morning frolicking about the forest, playing the role of nymph, drama queen and even bathing beauty as I shed all and luxuriated in the freezing cold stream water. At that moment I felt I had experienced a 'creative baptism' of sorts. Regardless of just whom you have in mind while you're smiling (or smirking, flirting, luring) for while posing for the camera lens; you should always be posing for yourself. Just you. A photographic experience at Lolo's Boudoir is all about you. It's a special time for you to be sensual, carefree, indulgent, sexy and alluring. With a complimentary glass of champagne and a few nibbles of fine chocolate...how could you not be?

Right from the start of our engagement, Leah was encouraging and made me feel at ease. She sent me sufficient details before we met so I knew what I was walking into. I was pleasantly surprised to see her space - a big studio with large mirrors and a vanity where you can touch up makeup. She even got me outfit/accessory options based on a mood board I had sent her. It ended up being an incredibly empowering photoshoot! I had no experience in modeling or how to pose, but Leah's direction made me feel confident. The couple hours flew by! I highly recommend Leah for a fun, exciting, creative and artistic experience. Oh and I ADORED the final product!!

I had long promised my husband that I would do a boudoir photo session. I researched many…read morephotographers and luckily, I came upon Jason Guy's photographs. I knew within minutes that he was the one I wanted to work with. I loved all the lighting and photo compositions in his gallery. His attention to ALL details is unparalleled! If you have any doubts in your mind about working with Jason, let me save you time, and say unequivocally DO IT! From our first phone call discussing details about location and the photo shoot, he answered my questions and asked for my input and what I wanted to see. Jason is a consummate professional and I urge you to read his guidance emails about what appointments to make the week of (waxing, manicures etc) and then what lingerie suits your body type. For me this was invaluable advice since I was at a loss what would accentuate my figure, but with Jason's guide I found great corsets and bodysuits that I loved wearing! I cannot neglect mentioning Ducky who Jason works exclusively with for makeup and hair. She did an amazing job! Then during the photo session, seriously listen to everything Jason tells you do. Just smile and enjoy the experience! Jason will help you pose and create the most beautiful and memorable photos of you. I'm still in awe viewing the photos from that day. Thank you so much Jason!

I can't recommend JG Boudoir enough…read more When I first found Jason's work, I was completely drawn in -- every image he posted radiated confidence, beauty, and a kind of self-assurance I didn't think I had. I admired the women in his photos but truly never imagined I could be one of them. After sitting on it for a while, I finally booked a session. From the very first consultation, Jason made me feel completely comfortable and supported. He walked me through every step -- from prepping, to posing, to coaching me through expressions -- all while making sure I felt empowered the entire time. His makeup artist, Ducky was incredible, helping me feel my absolute best before stepping in front of the camera. But the real magic happened after the first few shots -- when Jason turned the camera around and showed me the photos. I genuinely couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was me -- but through a lens I had never seen myself through before. I felt proud. I felt compassion for myself. And I walked away from that session forever changed. Since then, my entire relationship with my body and self-image has shifted. What Jason creates is so much more than photos -- it's an experience that allows you to finally see yourself the way others see you. If you've ever even thought about doing a boudoir session, I encourage you to book with Jason. You deserve to see yourself this way.
