I had the absolute best experience working with this photography company for a brand photoshoot. From start to finish, everything felt seamless and professional. Lori was truly incredible. She is not only extremely professional, but also so warm and welcoming. You can immediately tell she has a ton of experience behind the camera. She knew exactly how to guide each shot and made the entire process feel natural and effortless. I felt so comfortable the whole time, and she made me feel genuinely beautiful in front of the camera. What meant the most to me was how kind and patient she was with my infant daughter. She handled everything with such care and sweetness, which made the experience even more special for us. I am beyond grateful for the experience and can't wait to see the photos. We will definitely be back for more and could not recommend them enough. read more

I did a Dudoir (Dude boudoir) photo shoot for my wife and our anniversary. Being a dude this is not a normal thing, so my nerves were high at the thought. Brystan studios put my nerves at ease.

The photo shoot turned out to be a pretty fun experience. The final product of my photo album is awesome and my wife ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT. Would encourage anyone interested in these types of photo shoots to reach out to Lori. read more

I recently had the most life-changing experience with Lori Brystan during a boudoir photoshoot. To say the session transformed the way I see myself would be an understatement--it truly put to rest insecurities I've carried for years. Lori is a beautiful soul inside and out, and she has a rare gift for capturing you in a way that allows you to see that same beauty in yourself. I never imagined I would do something like this after 40, but I'm so grateful I did. In fact, after sharing my experience, many women in my life--including my mom--told me they wished they had done something like this years ago. I mentioned to Lori that I had always dreamed of modeling, and in just one day, she made that dream a reality. From the moment I walked into her studio, I was in awe. Every detail exudes luxury--from the stunning handmade chandelier and showgirl costume to the dreamy dressing room every woman wishes she had. Even the private viewing theater where we collaborated to build my book was sensual and glamorous. Lori's attention to detail extended to every outfit, with makeup and hair retouched and restyled to perfectly complement each look. What stood out most was how deeply Lori understood me, my story, and my "why" for doing this. She has an incredible ability to instill confidence, and when she says she knows how to pose every body type, she isn't exaggerating. The photographs are proof--she captures the beauty of the human form in a way that feels both empowering and timeless. This experience was unforgettable, and I can't wait to do it again. As breathtaking as the photos are, the very best part was working with Lori herself. read more

Boy oh boy! What a great gift for myself. I had a shoot with Lori and she was the sweetest, down to earth person. She made me welcomed and relaxed. They are very professional and friendly. During the session I felt so comfortable and was given so much respect. The studio has so many options for scenery. While I was being photographed Lori and I were the only people in the room. I encourage others to give it a try. My end product is something I will be so proud of. So much that I feel I could share my boudoir photos without hesitation because they came out so beautiful. And I'm no young model. But that day she made me feel like I WAS! Thanks read more

Lori and her staff are amazing! I have had 5 sessions with her over 20 years and she never disappoints. My hair and make up have been spot on and she puts you at ease.

I recently got boudoir photos taken by Lori, and it was such an amazing experience! I started by booking a consultation call with her. She made me feel so comfortable and reassured me in my nerves. She walked me through the whole process, and was very transparent. I knew then I had made the right decision, especially since I live in Palm Springs. I knew she was worth the drive after our call! On the day of the shoot, I was greeted by her wonderful assistant John and was taken to a beautiful dressing room where I was offered champagne and some snacks. She has so many fun outfits! Lori then came in and did my hair and makeup. She was so sweet and made me look great! Once it was time to get started, she helped me get dressed and helped me choose the sets I wanted. Full disclosure: I'm an awkward girl and very self-conscious about my body. But Lori made me feel confident and beautiful!!! She knows just how to make you look good. The shoot flew by and she gave me exact directions on how to pose. Once we were done, she took me into a viewing studio to choose my images on a big screen. I could not believe that was me!!! I was so blown away by how stunning the photos came out. I am beyond excited to give this gift to my fiancé - but also, this was truly a gift for me! I will cherish these images for a lifetime. Thank you Lori for making this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I will definitely be back! :) - will update with photos soon! read more

I had a boudoir photo shoot at Bryson Studios 34 years ago. That's right! I'm 74 now! I ordered a large, framed, beautiful portrait of me and a large boudoir album with art least a dozen gorgeous boudoir photos of me in a variety of themes They had racks of lingerie, various sexy shoes and boots, jewelery, props and hats. At the time, we did the entire photo shoot in the studio. I think her name was Lori, who styled my hair and makeup. The photo shoot was so fun in different outfits, themes, and settings. I remember being photographed on a Harley, in a free standing bathtub, on a bed, and more. They all came our gorgeous, tasteful and very sexy. My husband still has that lavender and gold hard back album inscripted to him for basketball day. I was 40 years old when I did it and nite I'm 74 years old and look much sudden lol. My husband and I are still happily married and I'm so happy I captured that tune in my life to always remember. The photos posted on their sight are fantastic examples of their gifted artistry. read more

I shot my bridal boudoir shoot today and I cannot speak highly enough about my entire experience. From the second I walked in I felt welcome and comfortable. It was so much fun picking out my looks for the day, and I felt so spoiled sipping champagne while getting my hair and makeup done. The music was pumping while Lori took my photos and it helped make the mood even sexier than I anticipated. I felt confident, sexy, and powerful. I cannot recommend doing a boudoir photo shoot more. Seriously the confidence boost I needed. I can't wait to give my husband the custom photo book I picked out on our wedding day! Thank you Lori!! read more

I scheduled a boudoir shoot with Lori in February. I was super nervous and had no idea what to expect, but she was so professional and reassuring.

I have done multiple photo sessions with Lori over the years, from professional head shots to boudoir shoots. To say she is a photographer doesn't come close to describing her artistry and expertise. Her ability to style makeup and hair and suggest wardrobe is nothing short of genius. Her bubbly personality makes you feel at ease like you're talking to a best friend. Her warmth and empathy is engaging. Her fees may seem high, but it is so worth it. She is able to bring out the personality and beauty of her clients seemingly effortlessly. To say I was blown away each time I received the photos from my session is an understatement. I would recommend Lori to anyone wishing to capture a moment in time that is precious and important. Her work is heirloom worthy. read more

It was time to update my professional headshot. To accommodate my work schedule, I was seeking a photographer who would coordinate hair and makeup with the photo shoot.

Not at Brystan Studios-I enjoyed the entire process and the photos are fabulous. read more

On September 7, 2016, I made it official to enter the next chapter of my life with intentions to do something for me. I was looking forward to turning 50 because I had a mindset that this was going to be a year distinguished by the "Best is yet to come!" My 50th birthday milestone was actually on July 30, but it became overshadowed by the flurry of attention that we were closing my family's business, Nino's Italian Restaurant, after 58 years. I was determined to not let the weeks of a crazy work schedule swallow up my milestone birthday so I booked a photo shoot with Lori Brystan herself! She comes with a wealth of reputation in talent, grace and professionalism. What impresses me most about Lori is that she doesn't help you transcend time, she absolves time through her camera which is a window of her soul shared in her artistry. She is truly a Master in her profession and wears this distinction so well because of her huge heart. If you are having any doubt this is for you, let me share with you what happened leading up to my session. I became nervous! Especially since someone close to me questioned if "my body was ready" for a Lori Brystan photo session! I couldn't believe it and it took me into a tailspin of panic. So I reached out to Lori herself expressing my worry. Her response was so comforting that I found all my worry and second guessing disappeared in her beautiful and loving response. "Hi Carina, I think this is the exact perfect time for you to do this and nobody else. We can always be in better shape, it can be better timing, but wouldn't it be wonderful if you did the pictures anyway and found out that you are perfect just the way you are right now! I know you will have a great experience and love yourself just a little bit more after you do this photo shoot with me." Honestly, words cannot express my gratitude for her kind and generous in spirit reply! It was filled with love and compassion and it gave me the courage to go forward without second thoughts! I'm extremely thankful that I did this photo shoot! From the time I met her in my consult to actually having her apply my make-up and style my hair, I found myself captured in her wonderful aura of warmth, enthusiasm and confidence. Once we started the photo shoot, I immediately sensed feelings of sensuality, power, vulnerability, style and fun! This photo shoot was one of the most empowering experiences I have ever had in my life! To think I did this for myself! Wow! Having this extraordinary experience with Lori Brystan, I realized she empowers women to believe that our soul, our beauty and our hearts never age. Rather we become more youthful in optimism in today and for our future. I thank Lori for inspiring me through the most incredible photo shoot I have ever experienced in my lifetime. Having this experience with Lori changes the way I feel about myself and my future. She's artistic, creative, professional, loving and kind. Please visit her website (http://brystanstudios.com)to see her stunning boudoir photo options, stylish family portraits, cherished baby moments, and professional headshot and you will be as convinced as I am in the timeless quality of elegance in a true photo shoot experience. In my opinion, Lori Brystan is "Hailed the Queen of Photography! She is second to none." Heartfelt thank you Lori! read more

I have been coming to Lori for my family pictures for years. We invest in really good photographs every 4 to 5 years and when I want great pictures I always come to Lori.

She will help you with your questions about outfits and does makeup and hair that is the very best in Orange County. My two boys love her and I do too. If you want a picture that you will cherish forever I recommend you come to Bryston Studios. You will not be disappointed!! read more

Horribly awkward viewing experience. I purchased a boudoir session through Groupon which included one print. The photographer was great and made me feel comfortable. However, when it came time to review the images, I brought my husband thinking it would be fun to choose together. The front desk guy sat us in a dark room, left and had a slideshow of the images play. When he came back, he started clicking through frame by frame and asking us yes, no, maybe. My husband was incredibly uncomfortable with a man looking through every single one of these very personal and intimate photos. On top of that, having to say yes no maybe to each took away any kind of sexiness and I felt very awkward sitting there. I quickly picked a photo so we could get out of there immediately. They should definitely check with their clients about having a male reviewing sexy boudoir pics before they schedule the viewing. Just like at a massage parlor where you can request a male or female masseuse, it makes sense to double check that it's fine for a man to be deeply involved in looking at every single picture. It was pretty unprofessional and left me disappointed with the entire experience. To make matters worse, the final photo I picked was heavily airbrushed and my skin looks fake. I would've liked the unedited version that I saw in the viewing room better. As an FYI, each print is $150 extra...very steep! read more

Lori and her team at Brystan Studios are nothing short of amazing. I have done a variety of shoots with Lori over the past 15 years. From white sheet portraits as an engagement gift for my now husband, professional headshots (recently updated after the first shoot 10 years ago), and a full boudoir shoot and album, my experience is always spectacular. I am often left thinking, "I can't believe I look like that." The environment is inviting, the team is super professional and Lori is an artist. I cannot recommend enough. read more
