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

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

How do I even begin to express how amazing and talented Helen is!?! I have worked with Helen on…read moremultiple photo shoots as her makeup artist and once behind the camera. Every single time I have had so much fun and loved every single photo. Experience as vendor working with Helen: she is very easy to communicate with and quick with responses which is VERY important to me. Helen is very clear on expressing the direction of the shoot which makes it easy for me as a makeup artist to understand what I should be doing makeup wise with the model. Helen has good time management and is such a sweet person to work with, I've had the chance to view her with her clients and I notice how comfortable they feel shooting with her because of the energy she brings to the shoot. Experience In front of the camera: okay so let me start by saying I can take selfies all day but when it comes to being in front of the camera I freeze up and usually feel so awkward. I had a completely different experience with Helen, she allowed me to get comfortable and guided throughout the shoot while still allowing myself to do what felt comfortable to me. Helen's style of shooting is so beautiful, I was completely in love with the photos that I got from that shoot. Helen as an artist: she is able to shoot a variety of styles which I absolutely LOOOOVE anything from bridal/maternity to spooky Halloween shoots. She brings elegance to her images and would highly recommend Helen if you're looking to hire a photographer or are looking for one to team up with.

The most unprofessional experience I've ever encountered with a photgrapher…read more Paul is the sole photgrapher with this company. I will keep this simple and stick to the most recent points of interest for anyone considering using this company for their photography or videography needs. After negotiating an agreement for Paul to both record Video and Photograph an event in Washington DC, Paul dropped and broke his camera. He has held all photographs and video (it's been over a month now), demanding that we pay for his repairs. He sold packages at our event, and has with held these as well, deciding instead to attempt to illicit pressure from our clients to get us to pay for his carelessness in order to have what they have purchased released. Paul has threatened me for posting a negative review. However I do feel that people should be warned prior to using someone like this. There are so many quality photgraphers in the DMV that no one should have to subject themselves to someone who lacks integrity.

Absolutely amazing! Paul will make you feel super comfortable and make you laugh. Also, he really…read moreknows how to boosts a woman's confidence! I would definitely recommend him. You will feel simply beautiful!

I've known for years that I have wanted to hire Sarah to do the photography for my wedding--when I…read morefirst saw her work, I instantly fell in love with her style. By her own admission, Sarah works much more in a photojournalistic style; she focuses on telling a story through her photos, capturing moments and images that are both evocative and beautiful. I also appreciated that her portfolio was more muted and subtle with light and color. I personally find that many photographers are much too bright, even over-exposed, and I didn't want to have to worry about that. Going into the wedding planning, I knew that photography was going to be the largest single thing my wife and I were going to spend money on, so our expectations were high. Despite those high expectations, Sarah still absolutely blew us away! She was professional, communicative, and extremely easy to work with. Going in, Sarah was clear to ask us questions and get clarification for what we wanted from her. Even though she was travelling from doing a wedding the day before in another state, she was punctual, timely, and ready to go. She was perfectly unobtrusive during all the key moments of the day, yet managed to capture them beautifully. She took requests with grace, and even prompted us for photos during the reception that we were exceedingly grateful to have. She took to heart the requests we had made prior to the wedding and followed through with them with precision and care. More than anything else, I was extremely impressed with her vision and direction. Her experience spoke volumes--she was able to guide my wife and I with clarity and directness, while never pushing us or making us feel rushed. Consequently, we have an absolute abundance of really unique photos in a variety of backdrops and settings, all displaying us in our day of bliss. And with the whirlwind that is the wedding day, it has given us so much joy to look through them all again and relive all those moments. I cannot recommend Sarah highly enough!
