[[HIGHLIGHT]]Such an amazing experience from booking to prep[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Video's around dress, poses, planning and what to expect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Then came time to decide package upgrades and time of session with address. Review of best outfits and any additional props. The professionalism of set, employees and location were unmatched. The photos were phenomenal with variation of posing. I also cannot say enough about the beauty of the wings. Now it was time to look at the photos that were just taken. The suspense and joy to know that was me. No AI photo but my mannerism, complexion and body. I'm so freaking proud of me. These images will last to see over and over again. How great is that! Pricing was also reviewed again everything all up front. Everything and more than I expected, and service with a smile. Now I'm just waiting for the pieces I've chosen to be delivered. Yay! read more

-5 stars. Would never use. Very scammy. Blocked me on Facebook because the "giveaway" post still requires you to pay at least 800$ which the post does not say. So I let people know in the comments and they blocked me. Huge scam vibe. Dont spend your money here and dont sign up for the fake giveaways!! read more

My photos all had basically the same items in the background. I mean, every photo you could see the same items. Nothing different. My husband wanted the photos, so $3,500 of repeat. Then, [[HIGHLIGHT]]when I was going through my photos with the photographer, she complained about the owner of the studio.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Which, from the email and such, I already guessed she was stuck on herself. I don't plan on going back to this location. They run a fake "contest" to get your information and to come in. Cheers read more

As a mom, veteran, and woman rediscovering herself, I needed something that wasn't about work, kids, or routine--something just for me. Boudoir felt bold and a little scary, but single motherhood is no cakewalk either. I was nervous I wouldn't enjoy it or feel sexy enough, but wow--seeing those photos? Game-changer. I walked in unsure and walked out feeling like the badass leading lady of my own story. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The team was incredible--Hannah and Shea made me feel seen, celebrated, and totally at ease.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The reveal had me speechless (in the best way). I went from admiring boudoir shoots to being the shoot. Would I do it again? Yes x 1000. If you're on the fence--ask your questions, find your vibe, and do the damn thing. You're worth it. read more

I'm Jessica and I work in HR, a wife, a mom to three now adults and a crazy dog. My daily life consists of work and home life with very little me time. In my free time I crochet, read, relax with music therapy, collect things that I shouldn't collect and spending time just chilling. Honestly I don't feel beautiful or sexy on a daily basis. I hear it from others but I don't nessecarily believe it. However when I DO feel beautiful, it's in weird spur of the moment times. If there are occasions to get dressed up, then of course I feel empowered and feel sexy. I wanted to do something for me! I always do for others and putting them before myself for as long as I could remember. I needed my own self validation that I am this woman and that I am my own future. On a whim, I entered in the contest and won. Best thing I could of done! It was time for me and no one else! I was a nervous wreck at first. I didn't know how hair and makeup was gonna look... I'm a tomboy lol.... If the outfits I had were gonna work......But hair and makeup came out FABULOUS!!!!! After that it was time for photos. I can make things awkward on purpose and I didn't want the photos to come off as that. Once the first few photos were taken, the nervousness went away and felt empowered. The whole process of the day was easy and simple. I never wanted to cancel as I just wanted to do it and see th final outcome and I'm glad I did. The entire process for me was easy, simple, not rushed or felt like I was obligated to do it or purchase anything. From the first few calls of the consults, I asked all the questions I had and was given all the answers and then some. About time the session came, I was ready to go! Nervous but excited. As I said previously, hair and makeup was fabulous! I didn't recognize myself! I was in awe! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The support system was incredible as they made sure I was comfortable with each step till the reveal of the shoot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And I still recognize myself in them lol. The whole day was my favorite! Since I've never pampered myself or didn't anything like this, everything that was done,takes the cake! Taking all of the photos and seeing myself on screen through a lens- I didn't even realize it was me at first but once I did I was in a good shock. 7. Did you feel nervous before the session and what helped you ease into the session? I did feel nervous but it went away after a while. It wasnt because I was in a room with someone else in lingerie. I think it was because I got into my own head and over thinking most of it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The photographer was amazing at everything and made me feel myself while validating everything that was going on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were vibing together which made it more enjoyable. I felt full blown empowered. I felt like I'm the force of nature that has been hiding for so long. Something unleashed inside of me that has been hidden for so long. The confidence exploded and is out in full force. For me, it was finding the inner me that was put away for so long and now she's out!!! I would definitely do it again! I think all if not most women needs to at least do something like this once in life. There is something about having a team behind you, that gives 100% of making you feel good, confident, empowered, fierce,beautiful, sexy - because you are all of those things!! The team at Boiling Point Boudoir is exquisite! Very professional, makes you feel like you matter and puts you at ease. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From start to finish, they were there either by call, text, email, etc.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] if you're on the fence, that's fine... but put yourself first this one time- you won't regrets it!!! read more

I'm a small business owner, an empty nester, and--if I'm being honest--a semi-burned out gal navigating midlife. In my day-to-day life, I'm 100% customer-focused and a full-time caregiver, which usually means I end up at the very bottom of my own priority list. Most days, you'll find me living in yoga pants and moving from one responsibility to the next. Booking a session at Boiling Point Boudoir was something I did because I knew I needed a little pampering and some genuine "me time." I wanted to feel sassy, grounded, and good in my own skin again. It definitely pushed me outside my comfort zone, and I was nervous that my natural goofiness and shyness in front of the camera would overshadow the experience--or the photos. [[HIGHLIGHT]]But from the moment I walked in, every worry melted away.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hair and makeup felt like a total treat. Even though there were other customers in the studio, I had my own dedicated glam artist, photographer, and private space. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They made the entire process feel personal and intentional. We listened to the music I requested, laughed a ton, and the atmosphere stayed fun, relaxed, and supportive the whole time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The photographer guided me through each pose with patience and encouragement, helping me feel confident instead of self-conscious. After the session, she spent so much time reviewing the images with me, which made choosing favorites feel easy and exciting. I walked away from Boiling Point Boudoir feeling seen, celebrated, and completely reconnected to myself. If you're a woman who pours into others all day long and rarely takes time for yourself, this experience is a beautiful and empowering way to remember what it feels like to prioritize you. If there is one thing I would change, it would be that we kept getting interrupted by another photographer while we were reviewing the images from my session. read more

My name is Priscilla S. I work for the Federal Government. I am from Atlanta, Georgia I relocated to Richmond, Virginia for my job. Not a mom nor a wife, just me. I only work and go back home so I had not had an opportunity to dress up and get my make-up done for a very long time. The outcome surprised me. It was truly a WOW moment for me. My daily work attire is very casual well.... For most people I am usually found in a suit, no room to show my personality/ I am single so I rarely think about being or trying to be sexy but, at my big age I decided to do something for me...just for me. My normal modius operandi is to do things for others before I do anything for myself. I do my own hair, nails and make - having these thigs done for me felt magical. If I am thinking about my deeper story as to why I want to have this session is that I feel that I have lost my smile. I look at old pictures and love my smile. It seems to me that my smile has been hard and almost painful to see. Like a smile from the movie of the same name. Like I am going to get your kids and your little dog to smile. My biggest fear was that I would not any photos of myself and I had just lost my "it" factor. I left my twenties a long time ago and I just wanted to see if I could still be "that girl". I think that I deserve to get my confidence after being in relationship and relationship where I lost who I was. I am getting to know me again which is the main underlying reason that I wanted to do the photo shoot. I really had forgotten how I could look, and I was surprised to see some of the old me peeking out. I must admit I did want to cancel ...I just did not want that type of disappointment at this time especially with all the job uncertainty that I faced daily. I ultimately, I decided that it was now or more likely never. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The phone consultations processes were very helpful and encouraging. I was provided with a play by play of my day The team-maintained contact with me throughout the process by text and e-mail. They guided me through the process with love[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. My make-up artist was the best, she made me look beautiful, the reveal was everything. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff were amazed at everything that they did during my session.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I must admit my favorite time of that day was getting my make-up done and seeing how good I looked after the photographer posed me. She was amazing also. I felt powerful and I cannot wait to see the final photos!!! I also loved going through the closet amazingly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was very nervous and that is putting it mildly. My anxiety was through the roof. After I saw my make-up, I started to feel more at ease with the process. I also became at ease in front of the camera; I believe that everyone freezes in front of a camera.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The process brought me back to me before I experienced life's twist and turns. Life will always be life(Ing). This moment was for me and only me, but I am going to share the photos because I look great. I feel that the greatest transformation for me was that my confidence is so high. I might get a larger package added on to my order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I am very open to doing a Boudoir session, again I already have some outfit ideas. I think I might try something a little more revealing next time. That is how comfortable that the staff made me feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think all women should try at least once .you might be surprised by what you see. Pleasantly surprised. I 100% recommend other women do a Boudoir session, the process seems scary but, in the end, it is great! Go get your sexy back. I did. I think that these photos would be a great gift for that special one in your life. Once you do one session you will want to come back. read more

My name is Brandi Blauvelt and I found Boiling Point on Facebook because a friend liked their page. I am a mom of 3 and have been plus sized my whole life. I have an amazing partner I've been with for over 18 years now but I have been programmed to always feel inadequate my whole life. I see physical beauty sometimes but the moments are far and few between. While I elude confidence in certain areas in my life, I do not feel like I check the boxes for societal beauty. I decided to do a boudoir session for myself because everyone deserves to feel pretty. Photographers can pull beauty that we do not see but that others do. I was nervous though because I am plus sized and I didn't want things to look like I didn't belong. I am proud of who I am and I am proud of my body for getting me this far in life but I know that others can be judgy and think I don't belong because I'm bigger than what you would think a model should be. I knew my husband would love the pictures but I also was scared I would only see flaws. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This was such an amazing process! Shae did amazing with my hair and makeup, crystal was so kind in my intake appointment, Sybil was very helpful with the financials, Madison was very nice with the meet and greets, and lastly but mostly (cause she's not least at all!) Hannah was the most amazing photographer! Everyone along the way was so kind and just helped me celebrate me for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I do not do makeup day to day or special occasions so I didn't know what to expect but Shae went above and beyond! I was completely comfortable the whole time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hannah made sure I knew exactly what I was doing with my poses and made sure I wasn't uncomfortable in anyway during the whole photoshoot. She was so kind when I forgot a prop at home as well and allowed my husband to bring it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was nervous in that I fake it til I make it with confidence but I didn't know if I would really LOVE any poses. I didn't know if anything would come naturally or feel comfortable. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The flip side is that I was only but so uncomfortable because everyone I talked to before coming in was SO nice and personal![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was pretty confident I was going to have a couple poses I was going to at least like but WOW! I am proud of my images! I look GOOD! I feel GOOD! And I can't wait to get the digitals! Everyone definitely should get a session and Boiling point is the place to go! I am looking forward to doing another session and I'm going to do a couples session with my partner as well! This studio is so amazing at what they do and they do so much more than just take pictures. They truly transform how you feel about yourself. They celebrate you just as you are! I cannot say enough amazing things! Book your session! read more

As a 22 year old who struggles daily with my self image and confidence I was hesitant to do something like a boudoir shoot. But let me tell you, the lovely ladies who work here helped tremendously with that. I just had my shoot done yesterday and it was definitely a life changing experience. I rarely see myself in a beautiful/sexy/confident way but after yesterday my eyes have been opened to see.. well me! Ive always wanted to do something like this but never had the confidence to do so. I always told myself that as a plus size girl that it wouldn't look good. But the ladies there helped me see that I couldn't have been more wrong! I'll be honest though, going into it I was terrified. I was so scared of how the pictures would come out. But I found a part of myself there (as funny as that sounds), I found confidence that I didn't think I would ever have. If you are thinking about doing a photoshoot, I say GO FOR IT!! It's 1000% worth it and I would definitely go there again. The women there are so welcoming, comforting, friendly and all just good people all around. (Also my makeup artist, Shae, was amazing too!) Through the several consultations I had I never felt lost or confused with what was expected. read more

I'm Emilie, I'm a wife and mom. I'm honestly not sure I ever felt beautiful, let alone sexy, but somewhere in my late 30s to early 40s something clicked and I realized I was ok with me and how I look. My husband of nearly 17 years has always thought I was beautiful and does his best to make me feel that way. I've always loved how absolutely gorgeous boudoir photos are and have wanted to do a photo shoot myself for years but always talked myself out of it because I didn't feel like I fit the description of what you needed to look like. Part of accepting myself for me as I am finally gave me the confidence to finally do a session. I never even considered canceling once I booked the session, but I was concerned about how the photos would look. I'm not exactly tiny and that caused some anxiety for me. I'm so glad I got past any nerves I did have because they are just beautiful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ladies I worked with were amazing from the very first phone call all the way through my session. I seriously want to be friends with these ladies! I cannot thank them enough for their kindness and support.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I seriously can't tell you what my favorite part of the whole process was because it was all so fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I absolutely would do this again and recommend Boiling Point to my friends. Y'all are amazing! Thank you!! read more

I entered a contest to win a boudoir session on a whim thinking that would be cool but I wouldn't win. But I did and I am so glad. I am a middle age woman and mom going through a divorce. I wanted to feel beautiful again. My employment is in a male dominated field. It is difficult to maintain the balance between being taken as a professional and still be an attractive woman. I am very self conscious of how I look without clothing. I have gained weight, had 3 children, lost weight, and aged. Going through the divorce made me feel not beautiful and was a blow to my self esteem. I need to see myself as desirable and confident. I was terrified of having photographs of me making me look older than I am. Gravity is not kind. At one point, I was convinced I would be crying when seeing the photos. That was so far from the truth. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was so comfortable from the very first phone call. Everyone I interacted with was so supportive and excited for me. I was guided on how to prepare, what clothes and accessories to bring. All of my questions were answered. I felt like a VIP each time I spoke with a representative from Boiling Point Boudoir[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I normally do not wear makeup on a daily basis. I felt like a model being pampered for the camera. The reveal was amazing. I had no idea the power of professionally applied makeup. I truly felt like a model about to walk the runway. Everyone was so excited when they saw me. I think the reveal was my favorite part and it set the fun and glamorous tone for the photo shoot. I was nervous but it quickly disappeared with the professionalism and attention from Boiling Point. There were two photos that took my breath away when I saw them. One was of my sitting with a more serious look on my face. I call that one my boss look. I am stunning in a professional manner. The other was of me leaning forward on the couch and smiling. That one is how I always envisioned myself to look but didn't think it was reality. It is reality and that one photo brough a new confidence to me and boosted my self esteem. I would be consider a boudoir session effort well spent for any woman. Every woman is beautiful and powerful and confident. Seeing that in the photos makes me believe. It is so very important to love yourself and be comfortable with who you are. The Boiling Point Boudoir team helped me realize this. By viewing the photos in their gallery, they have helped many women realize this. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you for making me feel beautiful again.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I'm Kara, I am in the military. That being said I don't feel sexy in my day to day life. It's maybe on rare occasions where I can give myself a little retreat to wrangle my femininity back. Last time I deployed I had a boudoir shoot done and I didn't have a good outcome with it. I'm coming up to possibly deploying again and I wanted to retrace those steps hopefully to get a better outcome. I was worried my second go around would bring the same issues as the first, hidden pricing, always feeling there wasn't enough information and then being disappointed with the results. Boiling Point made every step extremely transparent and easy. They took care of every detail and were extremely friendly and understanding the whole way. [[HIGHLIGHT]]My favorite parts was joking with the girls over the phone and on the day of my session. Laughing through any blunders.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was still really nervous to go to my photo shoot but once I started talking to everyone while getting makeup done and walking through posing I was a lot calmer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My body has changed a lot since my last shoot and I got to see it in a whole new light and reignite that spark in myself again. I cannot wait to get another session done with Boiling Point and any woman who wants to do something for themself should try it. Whether it's fully clothed or nude the team here makes every woman feel beautiful and comfortable. I would recommend this studio because I'm they make every step of the process easy and clear. Your whole experience is in one brick and mortar building allowing privacy and they are a great team of women with decades of experience wanting nothing more than to make you feel your best! read more

As a 32 year old who has just been diagnosed with multiple autoimmune disorders and recovering from a depressive stint, I have been very self-conscious and hard on myself about my physical appearance. My self-image has suffered greatly and I struggle to like what I see in the mirror. My husband is my greatest cheerleader and support. He never fails to let a day go by without telling me how beautiful I am. So I have been trying to see myself through his perspective. Which led me to Boiling Point Boudoir. One of my closest friends did a boudoir session in the past and she raved about it. I definitely had my concerns. First and foremost, if I don't like how I look in my regular clothes, would I like any of the photos that showed more skin? I also did not own anything I would consider sexy. Being plus sized, clothes / lingerie shopping does not instill a sense of confidence for me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What I liked most of about Boiling Point Boudoir is that it is a process. You have two video calls with a staff member to make you feel comfortable with the idea of the photo shoot. Rebecca was great and thoroughly explained all of the ins and outs[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One of the questions, she asked each time we spoke was "what are three things you love about yourself" and "what are three physical traits you love about yourself." For me, it was challenging at first to name three things I really liked about my physical appearance. But, it got easier each time we spoke because I looked at it like a homework assignment. Truthfully, that was one of the best take-aways from the whole process - learning to see myself as beautiful again[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I would absolutely recommend Boiling Point Boudoir for anyone who is contemplating doing a session. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Shae was a doll with putting me at ease and doing my make-up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Hannah was great at putting me at ease through all the photos. I did not expect to laugh as much as I did[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is an experience that I will remember fondly and would definitely consider doing again in the future.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My name is Bunnie and I am a mother, grandma, teacher, daughter, sister, and friend who just forgot how to love herself and do things for herself. I do so much for others that I had neglected myself for some years. Being a full-time mom significantly impacted how I felt about beauty, both positively and negatively, and it shifted my priorities, introduced new challenges, and led to both self-care neglect and not feeling sexy and confident. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, when I saw the advertisement for the Boudoir session, something inside of me lit up. I have never done anything like this and was not confident about the process. But from the moment I scheduled my appointment up to the time I was leaving, the whole experience was unforgettable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The whole team was so supportive, informative, professional, and most importantly, very encouraging. The ladies really know how to make you feel welcomed, motivated, excited, and empowered[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. It really was an empowering experience for me, boosting my self-confidence, and my self-love, and enhanced my relationship with my body. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was extremely nervous about the whole process and thought about backing out several times. However, each person I spoke with would just put my mind at ease and I decided to put my big girl panties on and just go with it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am so glad I did and I am more motivated now to do another boudoir session. Ladies if you want to step outside your comfort zone, embrace your sexuality, discover a sense of confidence and self-love, then celebrate your body in a sensual way where you can feel empowered and reclaim your relationship with yourself. My photo shoot was a luxurious and relaxing self-care experience, adding to the feeling of empowerment. Shae, my Make-up Guru, and Heather, my Photographic Genius, not only possess exceptional skills and creative visions, but they also added to the feeling of my empowerment. I feel like I have rediscovered my sensuality and reconnected with my body and it is all because of my boudoir experience. I cannot wait to receive my photos. I want to share them with everyone, and I could because although they are sexy, they are very classy. So again, I want to thank you all who guided me through this experience. Until next time, be blessed! read more

Hello, my name is Kayla Cochran, and I am currently working towards my master's degree at the University of Maryland. Student by day and barista by night, I work at Starbucks as a shift supervisor. Because my classes are online, I don't often have a chance to dress up or look cute; and my work attire consists of an apron and a hat, often no makeup because it gets sweaty behind the bar. So, throughout my day I don't often feel sexy, I feel frumpy and just rag tag. Recently, I discovered that my partner of 8 years had been cheating on me, so I did want needed to be done and dumped his ass. Following that revelation, I felt like I deserved a moment to feel sexy again; to feel confident and to feel seen, so I decided to book with Boiling Point Boudoir. I wanted to feel desirable again and what better way to spend what would have been our anniversary than by doing just that. At first, I was timid, because I won a Facebook giveaway, I was worried that it wasn't real, that it was a scam, but with every consultation it further set the tone that this was a trustworthy company striving to build women up. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Between the phone calls and zoom meetings I was well prepared for the day of my session; they answered all my questions regarding tan lines and lingerie and assisted me with silhouette looks and hair and makeup.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I walked into the studio for my session, I was so confident that I was going to look like a bad ass, being hyped up for the session over the past two months really boosted my confidence levels going in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]When I got my hair and makeup done, I felt like I was talking with an old friend, everyone at Boiling Point was so kind and really made me feel special.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once hair and makeup were complete, my photographer gave me a rundown on what the shoot would look like. She then gave me a chance to change into my lingerie while she created a playlist for us to listen to while taking photos.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My first pose I honestly felt awkward but with every click of the camera shutter I felt myself becoming less tense and my confidence leak through. By the end of the shoot, I felt like a new woman and sitting down looking at the photos, I couldn't believe it was me. I felt beautiful, I LOOKED beautiful! I told my photographer once I have my big girl job I will be coming back again; I have never felt or looked so sexy in my life it was honestly an addicting feeling. This photoshoot, and the whole team at Boiling Point Boudoir did exactly what I wanted, I feel sexy, I feel seen, and I feel so God damn desirable. I recommend this company to anyone who needs that boost, who has been feeling insecure and just wants to shine. read more

At 35, after having 2 kids, working too much, and struggling with extreme anxiety and lack of confidence, I needed a boost and motivation to care about myself as much as I care about others. I rarely felt confident or sexy. I never "had time" to give myself attention. I always felt grimy or frumpy. My style was lacking that "classy" factor. I wanted to try this session because I needed to find "me" again. Me without the other labels of mom, wife, sister, etc....just me. Of course, I never expected to love so many aspects of myself the way I saw them in these photos. The ease of posing; it all felt so natural in the moment. It felt "right". Every phone call and consultation made me feel more comfortable and ready to jump in and find myself. My favorite part of the session was going through the photos to see how many I actually looked great in and how confident I looked. It was so hard to choose my favorites! I think all women need to have this experience, too. Too many of us think it's for others to see, but it's most definitely for ourselves to experience the self-love we all deserve. We deserve to be something other than just our roles in life! I would 100 out of 10, so I recommend Boiling Point Boudoir to anyone looking to book a session. read more

Hi my name is Kayla Coates I'm a mom and finance. I love the outdoors and family. Being a mom can have its challenges especially becoming a 1st time mom so my confidence has faded a little but after my photoshoot I felt empowered. I feel beautiful and sexy the most often when I get dressed up or have a decent outfit on. I wanted to book the session because I need a boost of confidence in seeing my self the way others who care about me see me. I expected nothing less but confidence and sure enough got it :) I deserved it because I'm a very hard worker and care deeply about how I see myself. My biggest fear during the session was not feel brave enough to feel sexy and comfortable but I did :) I was genuinely concerned I wouldn't like how they turned out but absolutely loved them! Never at all wanted to cancel knew I had to do it to make myself feel confident. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The process to get started helped me out so much they guided me through everything before the photoshoot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Day of makeup was amazing Shay is amazing with hair and makeup! During the makeup reveal I felt like a princess and supported through it all :) My favorite part during the whole experience was the photoshoot I felt amazing! My favorite on the session day was my makeup! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I felt nervous before the session because I had never done anything like this before but I felt better after being guided through it all with positivity :)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The entire boudoir session has made me feel more empowered and sexy like never before! Truly amazing! I most definitely would do another boudoir session! Everyone female should experience this it will help boost your confidence so much and make you feel like the queen you deserve! I recommend Boiling Point Boudoir because their team is absolutely amazing I promise you will leave out of there feeling like a queen! Really professional staff!! You won't regret! read more

I'm Payton, a mom of 3 little girls and wife to a body builder; and I am a cosmetologist for my day job. I spend my days dolling up my daughters and my clients at work but never take the time to pamper myself much, the most I do is some quick concealer and mascara, normally in the car on the way to wherever it is we are going. I did one boudoir session several years ago with someone else and had a terrible experience... I really wanted to have a redo to have that experience that every woman is searching for when wanting to do boudoir, and I spend all my time making everyone else feel beautiful so I wanted to have my turn for once. I was skeptical at first simply because the one I had done before did not go well, and I have body insecurities that I was nervous wouldn't be flattering in pictures but man am I glad I found this place and went for it!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the very beginning of booking the session these ladies had my back and made sure I felt prepared and ready for my shoot! From the phone consultations, to the video chats prior, to the day of the shoot; they were absolutely amazing!!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They answered any questions I came up with, helped me decide between the outfits I had brought, and made sure I felt comfortable during the whole process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have to say my favorite part was simply the support that all the ladies here gave, it immediately put me in the perfect head space for this as soon as I walked in the door![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was very nervous on my way to the studio because it's such a vulnerable thing to do, however within 5 minutes of starting on my makeup I felt myself coming out of my shell and by the time we were done with the pictures I truly felt that I was amongst friends instead of strangers. My biggest take away from this was the way I view myself. It's hard to feel sexy when your a primary care giver that doesn't get to care for themselves, but this experience allowed me to see the sexy seductive side of myself that I so desperately needed to find. I had such a great time throughout it all that I immediately started planning my next shoot with them before I even left the building. They have the most amazing space with breathtaking sets, if you are wanting to envision the goddess that you are I highly recommend working with Boiling Point Boudoir!! You will NOT be disappointed! read more

With love, Boiling Point Boudoir Courtney Congleton just now New My name is Courtney and on a day to day basis I work as a manager in a retail store. I'm 23 years old trying to find where I fit in in this world. Normally, my job makes me feel not very sexy. That feeling comes in special occasions when I'm all dressed up for a date night or something similar. For me, the goal for the boudoir shoot was to feel confident in my own skin. Typically I look at myself and do not feel very confident. The goal was to look at myself in a new light and to actually feel good about the person I was seeing. I was very nervous that I would do the hair and the makeup and the poses and still not like what I was seeing. I had heard so many success stories but I was worried that mine wouldn't be one of those. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, boiling point does an excellent job at walking you through the time leading into your appointment to make you feel more confident before you even get in for your shoot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The conversations I had during my consultations were wonderful, I felt like I was being cheered on the whole way through by women who also had had their experience with boudoir shoots personally.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]During the day of I was no longer as nervous as I had been through the process, everyone I met going into my shoot had been super supportive and had the best kind of vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My favorite part of the day was being cheered on during the shoot by my photographer. She made me feel like I was a natural and like I was the sexiest person in the room.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The shoot itself definitely gave me a bit of a confidence boost. I remember looking at myself before pictures were even taken, after my hair and makeup had been done and being in awe with myself. Then I saw my pictures and could not believe it was me on the screen. I would definitely do this again. The pictures I got out of the shoot were absolutely wonderful and the confidence I have is something you cannot put a price on. Sometimes we as women forget that we are sexy, and beautiful, and powerful and the shoot helped me remember those things. If you've thought about doing a boudoir shoot I would definitely recommend boiling point 10x over. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As a beginning in the boudoir scene, they walked me through everything. The consultations helped me feel more confident beforehand with everyone cheering me on, and the day itself the vibes were perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My photographer was awesome, walking me through each pose and never making me feel like I was doing anything wrong. She also cheered me on the whole way through.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And again, above all else, the confidence I've received just from remembering my worth is priceless. I don't think my level of comfort and ease would have been achieved anywhere else. read more

I won a "free photoshoot" with boiling point boudoir. I had my consultation over the phone yesterday and was told I would be required to purchase 6 photos from the "free session" at $395 PER IMAGE. She then proceeded to tell me bc I am not a working mom that I have to run everything by my husband since that's how being a stay at home mom works. I told her that even if I was a working mom with tons of money I wouldn't pay $395 for a single photo. Absolutely insane. read more

I am a newly mom of one.Some time through out the day I miss being able to get all dolled up. Everyday I feeling beautiful but some days I want to feel desired. I came across the ad for the studio for a mermaid boudoir session and I thought it would be a wonderful experience. I have always admired mermaids and the beauty and desire they portray and folklore. I believe this was the great opportunity to turn me into one of those desirable creatures. so I can see that I was still desirable as well. I didn't really have many big fears coming into doing this session. I am very confident in myself and in the way I look. But I did hope they could hide some of my new mommy belly. also, I seen their work on the website and it showed they have good work side full confidence in the Studio In terms of making me into a mermaid. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On the day leading up to the session or a little out of sorts due to Unforeseen events, my session had got Pushed forward so I had to be ready a lot faster than Most when booking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] so [[HIGHLIGHT]]I didn't get to experience the full consultation calls as I was imagining, but they did keep up with texting and communicating whenever a question would occur.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Now, for the day of my overall session experience was wonderful except for one thing my hair I have textured hair and they assured me you make up artist Would be able to do my hair for the photos however, the images I showed her how I wanted my hair and how my hair came out was nowhere near My imagination. I had shoulder image of someone with a straight Hair and curls at the end, she just curled my hair Which is already fluffy did not straighten so my hair was fluffy and I look like a mushroom, She had packed up to leave before we even did the reveal to see if I liked it or if it needed to be touched up.however my makeup was immaculate and I was able to ignore the fact of my hair. so I know for next time to do my own hair or get it done somewhere else before. After that came the next part and becoming a mermaid to take the photos I was a fun experience. I had a good time. I didn't really know what to do with my face. What kind of facial expressions I should be making, but they did tell me how to position my body, and on occasion, she would tell me to smile. My favorite part would have been looking at my images and proving myself, I am as desirable as I feel. For me, I was never really nervous because I said before I'm very confident in myself I'm not afraid of the camera and I had all faith in the studio to do the job that it portrays on its site that it can do. When they were able to follow through. The biggest thing I got from the studio is not the new desire to wanting to do it again and possibly make a book or a small keepsake for my husband to take with him when he's on Deployment. It was fun to do so I would do it again and I can see how it can be a real confident boosters for some other people or just a reminder to other people how beautiful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The team at boiling point boudoir are fun team, very respectful and can put all of your doubts away that they are going to get the image that you Imagine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I booked this boudoir shoot with the hopes of building my self confidence and to feel empowered. I have been fighting something over the last 10 years which really brought my view of my self to rock bottom. That "rock bottom" low began to lift once I started the process of scheduling my boudoir shoot with Boiling Point Boudoir! It started with 2 zoom consultations with Rebecca who I clicked with right off the bat. Siobel was able to work with me regarding dates and payment options. On the day of the shoot, Hailey did a fabulous job on my hair and makeup. Caroline and Heather did a phenomenal job on my photo shoot! They were so positive and had such good energy making me feel confident and comfortable the entire time. My favorite part was seeing the pictures Heather took. It was some of the best therapy I've had in the last 10 years! The consistent theme throughout my experience Boiling Point Boudoir was positivity and empowering women. I had done some research about boudoir shoots prior to my experience. One of the most important aspects is to find a studio where positivity and acceptance are mandatory. I can testify there wasn't a single moment throughout my entire experience where I was uncomfortable or felt ashamed or embarrassed. Nervous yes but that's expected. My only fear was the unkown but the studio sends supplemental info and they have plenty of info on website about what to expect. I believe every woman should experience a boudoir shoot at least once just to remind them everyone is beautiful in their own unique ways. It's a memory that lasts a lifetime that you won't regret. read more

I typically do not feel feminine or want to tap into my feminine self. This experience helped me rediscover that side of myself and embrace my femininity. I actually realize it's a part of me that I've been suppressing. My biggest fear was the unknown and really stepping out of my comfort zone. It was a great experience, the ladies did an exceptional job of making me feel comfortable and at ease. They were generous with compliments and being their authentic selves. Which made the experience a lot more fun. Why I would do another session or encourage other women to do a session is because it's about empowering your own self. It's allowing yourself to be your most authentic vulnerable, sensual self. It's not always easy, and it's scary, but I feel as women we often neglect ourselves, and this is one way to really celebrate yourself. read more

I was selected as a winner for a complimentary session with this studio in early August 2022 through social media. Communication between myself and the business associates were great. Although I only got as far as receiving a courtesy call re-explaining the whole process and that a retainer fee of $212 was required to secure my session appointment with the studio but would go towards the purchase of my photos. I agreed to the draft of the retainer fee in the middle of September, once processed, I subsequently booked my session for late December. Due to a family health emergency which calls for unexpected financial expenses plus the added inconvenience of location/hours of operation, I ultimately had to cancel and forfeit my winnings. I received an email early October requesting signage of the studio's contract which listed, in my opinion, unreasonable terms, policies, and agreements. Once I read it over which added more reasons to cancel. Now having said this, although they did convey their sympathies via email about my circumstances however, Katya Melvin and/or staff (Sibel) is refusing to refund my full deposit of $212 and lacked sincere genuine understanding in regards to a potential clients unforeseen circumstances. To top it off, in lieu of my full refund, they were waiving the cancellation fee. God forbid, if I'd been hospitalized or lost my life! read more

Hi my name is Kelly, I'm a wife, mother of two beautiful girls, dog mom and minister of the gospel. As women we tend to put everyone and everything before ourselves. I have suffered with chronic illnesses for the last 6 years that took a toll on me physically, spiritually and emotionally. As a result of my illnesses I was placed on steroids and gained a lot of weight. The weight gain and illnesses directly affected how I felt about myself. At times I didn't feel beautiful or sexy. Over the last year I have worked really hard to regain some of my power back and take control over the things I can control like what I eat, and moving my body more. I have lost over 110 lbs and feel like I have a new lease on life. I feel sexy, confident, young and alive again for the first time in a long time and I wanted to celebrate this with a boudoir shoot. My hope was this shoot would bring out a more sensual side which it totally did. My biggest fears about the session were that I wouldn't like my photos do to loose skin. I trusted the process and it totally exceeding my expectations from makeup to my photographer Heather I was made to feel like a queen and like I was meant for it and that made the shoot so unique and comfortable. The process was incredible from start to finish. I had great conversations with everyone from my first phone call to then end reviewing the photos. I felt like these ladies were friends of mine. I trusted their expertise and it allowed me to be open to trying posing and things I may not have otherwise tried. My favorite part was the dark set, by that point I felt super confident and comfortable and was really feeling myself and it showed in the photos. I felt super nervous before the session. It's a bit intimidating to do something like that on your own without people you know personally hyping you up, but that also became the best thing because I was free to be me without caring what others thought. It was an exhilarating experience. I got just a huge boost of confidence, I felt like I can conquer the world. This was a bucket list item for me and I'm so proud of all that I've accomplished. I think it's important to love ourselves at all stages of our lives, I'm sad that I waited this long to do this and think it's something I will definitely do again as I continue to grow and transition through womanhood. Every woman needs to experience this, the self love, and confidence boost is unmatched. I would definitely recommend Boiling Point Boudoir the team here is phenomenal Katya has put together something that is transformational for women and the level and attention to detail and quality of care you are given is priceless. read more

Hello. My session was last month - I have always wanted to have a nice, sensual photo shoot and Shay and Shauna were PHENOMENAL!! My makeup was done exactly like I wanted and the photo session was fun. I really LOVED my team and my pictures! Now, here are my thoughts on this whole situation: 1. The client should choose her own poses. If you notice, all photos and/or videos have the EXACT SAME 6 POSES! Based on this, the inner love goddess is actually that of the person who approves the poses, not the client. Allow the client to get a feel of herself, the music, the set and the camera, FIRST. If the photographer sees that she needs encouragement, THEN the set poses can come into play - as a suggestion to get her creative juices flowing. This way, she would have a TRUE expression of HER inner love goddess (as this is marketed). I was disappointed. 2. The set should be the client's choice instead of whoever decides the set for the month. I had the most EVIL-looking, dark and ugly set, with skeletons and skulls, headstones and spiderwebs, a huge skeleton chair and the most odd teal/green backdrop with a pumpkin, that you have ever seen in you're life! I was so very UNCOMFORTABLE! The chair and all that evil crap had to GO! Afterwards, I was better. My photographer was EXCELLENT in walking me through it all. (I just couldn't deal with the evilness related to the set.) Although I didn't like the set, I used my outfit to make it work. 3. This comes across as a scam. Why charge so much money (in the Limited Edition package) for ONLY 3 PICTURES that are chosen from over 150 or so? Why doesn't the client get to keep ALL of the pictures she posed for? (The Boudoir says they destroy them anyway, so why not let the client have them?) It won't hurt. The staff did all that work beforehand and on the day of the session, so it doesn't matter if the client keeps the pictures. This also looks like a scam because of the "contest". Why tell the woman she's "won", make her feel as if she's going to get a wonderful prize package, just to find out later that she has to pay for hair, makeup, the optional use of props and/or some shoes, only to end up with 3 pictures?! And if she wants to get more pictures or videos and sessions like what is seen on social media, she has to cough up twice, and sometimes three times, the amount of the package she originally "won". It feels a bit suspect. I noticed that my makeup reveal was never posted to social media as promised and promoted. Permission was given for "makeup reveal only", but nothing came to fruition. Again, I was disappointed. Other than that, my experience was fine, but I won't do this with Boiling Point Boudoir again. read more

I had the most amazing experience with my session. I was so nervous and self conscious about doing this but everyone I spoke to helped ease my worries!

One of the most empowering amazing experiences I've had in a very long time! read more

I'm a full time mom of 2 wonderful kiddos, 2 dogs and a hubby(that's 5 total right lol). Over the last several years I had put on so much weight and really lost all my self confidence. I finally did something about it and had weight loss surgery. I had felt beautiful or sexy over the last 5 years and I decided I wanted to do something about it. I decided to do something for me to help me find that confidence and spark I had lost. My biggest fear was not liking the photos or finding that feeling of self confidence since I hadn't had my skin removal surgery yet. Oh boy was I wrong!! The several phones I had before my session definitely helped my nerves as I didn't feel like the staff were strangers by the time of my appointment. It really helped me settle in and made the session go smoother. Everyone the day of my session was hyping me up and made me feel more at ease which helped because your half naked(or partially depends on your comfort). I was so nervous when I got there but after hair and makeup I was ready to go. The photographer showed me one of the behind the camera images and I cried. I didn't know I could look or feel so beautiful after that I felt my confidence coming back. I'll definitely be doing another session hopefully this time after my skin removal surgery so I can have more amazing photos as I continue on my new journey with my new body. I really feel like everyone needs to do a session like this and I can't wait to get my images back and Into my hands. Thank you for helping me find myself again. read more

First, this business does NOT have my permission to post my full name if they choose to respond. They may use my first name ONLY. My experience with this business is interesting to say the least. I entered a sweepstake, was told I won, and yet the sweepstake is still running. Interesting. I received many emails with multiple typos and insistance that they were a legit business. Interesting. Tried some digital research to see viable connections online. Not much clarity. Interesting. I still proceeded to schedule a consultation call. To which a person messaged me from a Suffolk phone number in the afternoon greeting me with "good evening." This did NOT sit well with me. Too many scams via text these days. I then tried to validate the efficacy of the person texting me and they advised they were working from NC. Umm. Ok? And you messaged good evening at 12:15 in the afternoon?? You're supposedly in the same timezone. Interesting. They confirmed I'd be providing my CC info over the phone or via a link provided after our consultation call. To which I said I was not ok with that but would gladly provide a direct payment to the business itself. I was told that was not possible. Interesting. So I kept the appointment and decided to Google the business. Which pulled up an address in Norfolk near a not so safe part of town. So I decided to check it out. Drove to the building and the owner happened to be there, so I chatted and told them how I wasn't sure I was talking to a viable booking agent connected with the business. The owner said I could talk to the assistant of BP and then let me in. I was guided to the studio and talked to the very friendly assistant. She seemed to understand and was very nice about reassuring me that any payment I made the next day would get to them. So I thanked them and left. Later that day I received a text accusing me of trespassing and that my call and entry were cancelled. So, can I speak to the efficacy of the business? Not really. But clearly it's an issue if they need to reiterate that point in the emails sent out. Can I speak to the questionable correspondence methods? Yes. It was very misleading and in my opinion unprofessional. This is probably why people don't think they're real. Do I think I was trespassing? No. Not when the literal owner of the building let me in. I am sorry to the very nice assistant if I surprised her. I did not know it wasn't permitted to speak directly to them. I am a firm believer in face value. Do I think I dodged a bullet? Yes. And I agree with them, we are NOT a good fit to do business. If this is not a deal breaker for you. Enjoy the experience. I hope you love the outcome of your pictures. I will gladly take my business somewhere else with more face to face customer care. read more

My name is Melissa. I am a mom and a friend. I'm 45 years. I feel most beautiful when I do my hair and my Make up. Or when I'm going out with friends or just simply hanging out. I wanted to book a boudoir session because I had somebody in my life that told me no. He told me that I couldn't do something like this. And now that he is no longer in my life I have found my voice. I feel so empowered and so beautiful and so sexy. And I believe every woman should be able to do a session like this because it gives you that good feeling that empowering that finding your sexy. Honestly, I had no fears about going in. I knew everything that it had entail because the process from start to end the women that I've spoken with the stories that I've heard. The text messages, the FaceTime the helping and assisting me and picking out my best outfit was absolutely amazing. My photographer today she was absolutely amazing. She taught me how to pose in ways that made my body look so sexy, and beautiful and seductive. My favorite part about going through this entire experience was getting to look at my photos And seeing how gorgeous and seductive they came out and and just it was an overall amazing experience, my biggest transformational affect this head on me was to keep finding my voice keep my sexy. Keep that beautiful, gorgeous woman that I see in the mirror every single day keep looking at her Because she is going nowhere and there is not a single person that can't tell me. No, I would absolutely do another boudoir session. This was so much fun. I had an experience that was beyond words. I would absolutely recommend doing this. The only thing I can honestly say is, I feel beautiful, sexy, seductive in ways that I haven't in years. read more

a minute ago NEW My name is Shannon. I am a mom of 3 and have worked in the nursing field my whole adult life! I always wanted to do a boudoir but never wanted to spend that kind of money on myself let alone felt pretty enough to do one. Working and being a mom is a full time job so getting beautiful is a rare occasion. Going into my session was scary because I don't view myself as model worthy. I kept questioning whether or not I should do it up until my 6 hr drive. However; the kind voices on the other end of the phone and the friendly faces the moment I walked into the door made the experience so highly worth it. When I was sitting doing my makeup I was a nervous wreck; and THEN I had the makeup reveal and right there I knew this is going to be an amazing experience! I wanted to feel confident in my skin again with my mom body and tiger stripes and that is exactly what happened. I saw a whole new side of me that I never saw in the light. I wasn't just a mom I was an amazing successful gorgeous woman who had been through a rough life and had the confidence in my soul the whole time. It just needed to be released. I would absolutley do another boudoir session. My photographer was not only super friendly, easy to get along with but made me feel unjudged and confident in every part of my session. I would recommend any woman to get this done with Boiling Point; no dont just see you as a woman they view you as a peice of art. The feeling is incredible! read more

I wanted to share my experience with Boiling Point Boudoir for every woman that has even the slightest thought of doing a boudoir session. As a busy professional, I tend to take care of everything and everyone else before myself. Family, friends, associates, often times leaving little to no time for my own needs or wants. There have been times I have felt the least of the least, and suffered with many health issues over the years. After 3 surgeries in just as many years, the loss of loved ones, and a tremendous amount of weight gain from the stresses of life, I felt the need to do something for myself; something that would help me to feel alive again, and beautiful on the outside. I am glad I found Boiling Point Boudoir! From the first point of contact, I was made to feel empowered, confident, and in control of me and my feminine side that had gotten lost in the hustle and bustle of life. I wanted to celebrate my new found confidence. My new found sense of self, and my new found sense of a brand new me! Was I afraid? Absolutely! Was I unsure of myself? Absolutely! Was I unsure of what I would look like? Absolutely! Was I second guessing myself up to the very day of the photo session? Absolutely! But everyone made me feel like we were old friends having a heart to heart conversation and left me feeling... beautiful! My biggest fear of doing the session was "What will folk think?" But I quickly realized that I was doing "it" again, and looking to others to validate me and my worth. I was able to let go during the session. I was made to feel like I was uniquely designed to be in the session and that this time was to celebrate ME and who I am as a woman. This session was designed with me in mind, and my needs were definitely met! Would I do this again? Absolutely! Would I encourage other women to book a session to give them that missing feeling of confidence? Absolutely! So, if you're on the fence about booking a session, DO IT! If you're unsure of what to expect, trust that you will be guided through each step with care and consideration. Everything will be explained step by step, and trust, you will be OK! From set design, to makeup, to wardrobe choice, everything was carefully considered and and planned out to make me feel simply AMAZING! Book your session TODAY! You will love it! read more

My name is Christin, and I am 27 years old. At the time of the photoshoot, I was 26. I just moved back to Virginia in April from being stationed in Japan for four years. I am active-duty military and have been in for almost seven years now. Being in the military that is mainly male dominate and having to do hard physical labor can make a woman not feel beautiful. You're constantly covered in some sort of oil or grease and being on long deployments, you stop caring how you look and just aim to be comfortable to get through the day-to-day grind. It is very rare to feel "sexy" in that type of environment. The only times where I've felt sexy, beautiful, or even confident was being out at foreign ports with friends, finally being able to wear normal clothes and have the strength to wear make-up. The main reason I wanted, or needed, to do a boudoir session was because I feel like I'm getting older. Yes, 27 is still very young but I don't feel young. I haven't been finding myself attractive recently. People tell me I'm beautiful, I'm gorgeous. But with my own eyes, I don't see it. I wanted to get another perspective and see myself how others do. Some of the biggest fears I had going into this was it wouldn't change anything, that I'd still not find myself attractive, that I would still focus on my flaws. The day of the shoot, I wasn't feeling my best. I was in sort of a ruck. At no point leading up did I ever think of canceling until the day of. I am very glad that I didn't. In the beginning, the first phone call I didn't know what to expect. But they were very helpful. Walked me through what my favorite parts were and what my issue areas were. Talked me through what types of outfits would work, what would be flattering, and what to avoid. All consultations went very smooth and talked me through upgrades if I wanted them, wall arts, portfolios, and other add-ons. The day of the session, getting make-up done was something I wasn't used to. I'm not a make-up type of person, maybe a little mascara and ChapStick but that was it. Doing full face make-up was amazing, never thought how I would look with it and now I want to do it every day. During the reveal, I wanted to cry a bit. It was eye opening. My favorite part of the whole experience was seeing the results. It shows even someone who feels gross can look beautiful. I'm a very quiet, in the background type of person so having a day just for me made me a bit nervous. After a bit, I was able to relax and have fun with it. The fact that everyone there was very friendly and made jokes helped me be at ease. The laugh that they do to help you get your natural smile out really helped. For the first time in a very long time, I felt beautiful. Confident where I felt like I could rule the world if I wanted to. I would love to do another session a few years from now. See how much of myself has changed but still look beautiful. I would say everyone should do it. It's an eye-opening experience. In the photos, you could show another side of yourself if you wanted to. Maybe you're shy but you know you have a more dominating side that you want to show. That would be the perfect place to do it. It's fun and a well worth experience. read more

Hello! I am Andrea a military wife and dog mom. On a daily basis, I feel pretty average and forgettable. I booked a session because I needed to work on confidence and see what my husband sees in me. Before my session, I feared all of the other girls experiences wouldnt be like mine and i wouldnt feel confident, sexy, or beautiful. From the moment I agreed to do the session I felt guided by the staff. On the actual day, I felt fully supported and like they were there just for me. My favorite part was seeing how the photos came out. Don't get me wrong, I loved being in front of the camera but I had no idea how they were going come out. I was nervous about my awkwardness showing or the posing being wrong for me. That was completely not the case. The biggest transformation for me was seeing me sexy and confident. That is not who I am on a daily basis. My husband tells me that I am but he has to. He married me. Seeing it for myself, that he isn't just saying it, gives me a whole different view of myself. I would do another session and I'm trying to convince my friend to do one now. She's like me. She doesn't see how beautiful she is. I would definitely tell her to go to Boiling Point Boudoir for this experience. read more

I can't even give this business a one star but that was the minimum I was allowed. I highly don't recommend working with this company. They over charge you for what you get. Be prepared to spend thousands of dollars even if you "win a session". I personally had it done and I would never do it again. Katya is also very self centered and wants to show off to people and think who she is. She is not someone I would trust nor work with ever again. Please steer clear of this business and any other business she is trying to run. She also doesn't take accountability if you read other reviews... trying to blame others. A true narcissist in her own habitat. I am sure she will try to make herself look innocent when replying to this... read more

Hello, my name is Desiree. I am a stay at home mom. I have always struggled with self confidence so I very rarely feel beautiful and sexy. Because of this my husband entered me into a contest to win a photo shoot session in the hopes that it would help me feel more confident and sexy. My biggest fear going in was that I wouldn't look or feel sexy since I have always stuggeled with finding liengere that fits me. The process was amazing, Shea did an amazing job on my hair and makeup. Heather was the best and was a lot of help when it came to getting into the different poses. I felt very supported throught the entire journey. My favorite part of the session would probably be all of it honestly, everyone was absoultly amazing and helped me feel safe and confident. I did feel a little nervous at first but once we got started Heather helped me lossen up a bit by making me laugh. At the end of the session I felt way more confident and felt a new level of sexuality be unleashed. I would definitely do a boudoir session again if given the chance. I would highly recommend Boiling Point Boudoir because everyone there is absoultly amazing and super friendly. read more

I recently had a session with Katya and had an absolute blast! First off, I'm 50 years old, a mother to three children, a Meemaw to two beautiful grandkids, a wife and a nurse. I devote all my time if providing for patients and ensuring my family comes first. I have always put myself on the back burner. My biggest fear about doing a session was that I wasn't pretty enough, my body was perfect enough and my confidence in my own beauty was shot. After being treated like royalty, I was shocked when I saw my reflection in the mirror. I almost didn't recognize myself. I practically looked like a movie star with a flawless complexion. Everyone I met was exceptionally nice and made me feel comfortable. The smiles on their face and positive comments made me feel at ease. Going through the process of changing outfits, posing for pics was such a delightful process. When the session was complete, we had lunch and it was time for the big reveal. I was blown away by the photos! I seen myself as not only beautiful but a confident, sexy person. I will treasure the time I pampered myself and admire the beauty of those photos for the remainder of my time on earth. My husband can't stop smiling and I know I want to do another session in the future. My only regret it not doing it sooner. Book your session now, and don't miss out on an opportunity of being treated like the sexy love goddess that we all withhold. read more
