A Truly Unforgettable Boudoir Experience with Gabby at Bareheart! I cannot even begin to describe how absolutely amazing my boudoir photoshoot with Gabby at Bareheart was! From the moment I arrived, the energy was vibrant, and I knew this was going to be something special. Gabby not only created a professional and welcoming environment but also made the entire experience feel like one big, empowering celebration. I shared this experience with two of my best friends, who are also pole dancers, and from the start, we all felt completely at ease and totally in sync with Gabby's creativity. The session included professional hair and makeup, and I honestly felt like a goddess when I saw myself in the mirror. Gabby's skill at making everyone feel like the best version of themselves was remarkable. It was clear that she truly cared about making sure we were comfortable and confident, no matter how many outfit changes or fun, playful moments we had. The best part? There's an incredible wardrobe full of clothes and costumes to choose from, so you don't have to worry about bringing your own outfits or feeling like you need to know exactly what to wear. Whether you want to feel sultry, elegant, or playful, there's something for everyone! And the best part is--you don't have to know how to pose. Gabby is a master at guiding you through every moment. With her direction, every shot felt natural, and she made sure we looked incredible without any awkwardness. The whole session was about having fun and feeling confident, and Gabby was with us every step of the way, giving amazing prompts that made us feel totally at ease. One of the most incredible parts of the day was the pole session. As a pole dancer, I absolutely loved that Gabby encouraged us to incorporate that aspect of ourselves into the shoot. She captured our strength, grace, and athleticism in such a tasteful and beautiful way. My friends and I had such a blast sharing the shoot together; it felt like a true bonding experience, full of laughter and confidence. Gabby was always there with amazing suggestions, witty guidance, and gentle direction that helped us feel both powerful and playful. The final images were beyond anything I could have imagined. They were elegant, sensual, and empowering, yet full of the fun and joy we shared that day. Gabby's talent for capturing the essence of the moment is second to none--each photo felt like a piece of art. If you're looking for a boudoir experience that's not just about great photos, but about celebrating who you are in a fun, empowering way, Gabby at Bareheart is the person to go to. The entire day was unforgettable, and I will cherish these images forever! read more

DO IT! BOOK THE SHOOT! I know you're over here reading these reviews and trying to make the decision if you should do it....HONEY, BOOK THE SHOOT!! What can I say about this experience and this photography team?? They're the most uplifting, amazing, empowering, funny, fun duos you will ever come across. The nerves immediately melt away upon meeting up with Mariah and Bellizzimo Beauty artist! We chatted the morning away while I got dolled up. She made me look like a goddess!! And even better, the hair and makeup lasted all day (my hair never holds curl). Patrick showed up, introduced himself and it was like I'd known him forever. Mariah helped me pick out different outfits that looked good, poured me a delicious mimosa and it was time to begin!! The first outfit and part of the shoot, it was easy to get the hang of and started feeling comfortable pretty immediately. it also helped that Patrick showed how it was done before getting you in the same pose for your photos. The time literally flew by once he started snapping pictures. After a couple costume changes, it was all said and done. 3+ hours seem to fly by in a matter of minutes. The whole time they were so positive and complimentary that there was no way you couldn't feel beautiful! A couple days later I got to come back and see the images. I was BLOWN AWAY!! Is, is that me?!?!? I hate pictures of myself and had a hard time narrowing it down. Luckily I brought my bestie to help me out!! All in all, this experience was amazing! I would recommend it to any and all of my girlfriends because, who doesn't need a confidence boost these days! And this team is just the one to provide you all of that and so much more. Thank you for all you do Mariah & Patrick!! Thank you for showing all these ladies the beauty they posses, including me. Never gonna forget it again read more

Ok let me start from my beginning. I don't know which friend it was that introduced me to Bare Heart Boudoir but I was immediately hooked and intrigued so I naturally invited my sisters to their Facebook page and we all started interacting and getting hooked on the idea of boudoir photos. We organized a Group FaceTime with Mariah and I was amazed by her energy and excitement. Unfortunately I was in one of those spots that I was nervous about personal funds and temporarily decided I would put off the idea of a photo shoot. But one of my sisters booked a session and from start to finish I was impressed, amazed and jealous. Right at that contemplative stage, Bare Heart advertised an new idea. Couple boudoir! OMFG! We're they speaking to me and my camera ham hubby??!! I immediately contacted Mariah and everything was set in motion. We booked a date several months in advance and set up a pre payment plan for the photo package. Mariah sent lots of emails and messages and kept me on point with all my paranoia over my outfits, hair, tan, extra 15 pounds, etc. I was nervous, but she graciously walked me through a few months of jitters with excitement and ease. When the big day arrived, all the nerves set in again. We arrived at the studio and were welcomed by our preferred music playlist, snacks and beverages of our choice, personal take home slippers and robes, an amazing team of hair and makeup professionals and all of Mariah's perfect energy. All inhibitions melted away! It was so easy to play all day with both Mariah and Patrick (and my super sexy hubby). Along with all the fun and devoted 1 on 1 attention they put into our day, it was still a completely professional and comfortable experience. I was on a high for days after the shoot! But then we went back for our reveal and began to build our album, select our wall art and revel in all of the glorious photos! Bare Heart allowed us to see ourselves from a different point of view. We got to see ourselves as youthful and sexy and fun again! And most importantly we remembered how much we love our lives and each other and the excitement of everything we have over come through all of our years. This opportunity revived such a vital sense of love, pride and excitement in our relationship! Mariah and Patrick, I cannot thank you enough for the entire experience, all of your personal attention the whole way through, the beautiful pictures, memories and overall confidence you have helped to instill through your skill! We will cherish this always and can't wait to do it again. read more

Bare Heart Boudoir is SIMPLE AMAZING. From start to finish I felt supported, never pressured, and absolutely 100% comfortable in general and asking questions before, during, and after the session. Patrick and Mariah are a great team and such wonderful cheerleaders. I have done many other photo shoots but this is a unique experience and all about making me feel as beautiul outside as I am inside. I highly recommend the whole experience!! read more

This is most certainly one of the best investments I have made in myself. Patrick and Mariah are truly the best team. The whole day is catered to your every need, making it so special and just an overall fun, wonderful, memorable experience. The photographs are truly works of art! Miriah will be your biggest cheerleader throughout the whole process, and makes sure you are set up the entire way. Natalie at Bellizzimo Beauty will highlight your beauty and make you feel on top of the world with her amazing beautician skills. Patrick's talent behind the camera is unmatched, and his editing skills are top of the line making the choosing process very difficult. (Unless you just get them all ) It is a great team and I can not speak highly enough about them. Self image and self doubt have always been issues I have struggled with and having professional photos taken of me?... I don't think so, but let me tell you, this was a day of pure self love! Whenever I am feeling down I will always be able to take out my photos and look at them and get an instant pick me up. That is one gorgeous woman right there!Ladies and couples you are worth it! If you are reading this review contemplating booking a shoot, I say go for it! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. PROMISE!!! read more

I have never in my entire 48 yrs of life thought that I could have the confidence to take photos for my husband in sexy lingerie and there I was killing it. Anyone that knows me well knows that I was so shy when I was a little girl and teenager. I have dreamed about having photos of myself done for many years but never had the courage after having two c-sections and a full hysterectomy at 36 years old. My stomach has always been something I have never liked about myself but recently I have embraced it and realized my body tells a story about my life and who I am and Mariah and Patrick made me feel like I was the prettiest and sexiest woman there is during my shoot. From the time I got my first email from Mariah with details and asking what my likes on music are,my favorite drinks,snacks etc which they had all waiting on me at the time of my session. I felt like a movie star getting pampered and center of attention for hours. We had many laughs and so much fun! I can't express the enjoyment of this photoshoot. I would do it 10 times more. If I knew how amazing it was years ago I would not have waited so long to do it. Thank you Mariah and Patrick for a life changing event. I LOVED stepping out of my comfort zone and would do it again in a heartbeat. read more
