I thought I'd show up, get my pictures taken, that's it. That wasn't it AT ALL. The "journey" Carrie Anne set me on leading up to the actual boudoir session was arguably a bigger part of the photo shoot for me. ;) Carrie had a time line of to-do's for me, websites for garments I might want to buy, soooo much I wasn't expecting. And on the way, I found a new comfort with myself. By the time I got to Carrie Anne's for the photography... I was ready for this! I brought extra outfits and accessories and Carrie Anne helped me dial it in for an unforgettable experience. It's been about 3 years since my session and I still recall it like yesterday. I am close to 60 and have never felt so good about myself - not in a vain way. I was absolutely comfortable with me. Carrie Anne has a beautiful way about her. She'll set you at ease, and make this moment an unforgettable and personal experience. DO IT - you'll be happy you did. (Thank you, Carrie Anne!) read more

She is insanely talented. Even the unedited photos are unreal. Honestly, the hardest part is narrowing down your favorites because you will want them all.

Worth every penny! Carrie Anne's photography and studio are amazing. I am not a model nor am I comfortable in front of a camera but she made the whole thing easy and fun! She poses you head to toe which was a huge selling point for me. Once the session was over, I got to look at all my photos and they were beautiful! Even without the edit. The whole experience, from reaching out to her for information, to the photoshoot is perfect. 10/10 recommend read more

Hiring Carrie Anne was the best decision I ever made. I was looking into a few studios in the San Diego area and the reality is, no one really shoots like Carrie Anne does. Her work is what truly stood out to me. Then we spoke on the phone and when I tell you this girl has passion for what she does and how she does it -- I mean it. I knew after our call I wanted to work with her as she would be the only one fit to see my ideas through. There are photographers and then there are artists. Carrie Anne is an artist. she offers so much more than other photographers in just the way she photographs her clients. The experience was unmatched I already booked a second shoot for 2025. I cannot wait to be back in front of her camera and I hope if you're reading this you feel the confidence you need to reach out to Carrie Anne! read more

I can't thank Carrie Anne enough for the incredible shoot we had. I've struggled for years with body dysmorphia and an eating disorder, that I rarely felt comfortable in my own skin. Even after two kids & plenty of life experiences, I never thought I'd feel at peace with my body let alone celebrate it. When I booked my session, I told myself I'd "get ready" by losing weight or changing something first. But as the date approached, I began to realize that my body, just as it is today, has carried me through so much and deserves love and appreciation. From the moment we met, Carrie Anne created a safe, uplifting atmosphere. During the shoot I felt truly beautiful and accepted something I'd never experienced before. Carrie Anne doesn't just take gorgeous photos; she gives people their power back and helps them see themselves with new eyes. I just looked through my full gallery and am in complete awe. I know this was a life-changing experience. I'm already planning to book a full shoot in the future because Carrie Anne's work and spirit are that remarkable. If you're thinking about a session but feel nervous or unsure, take the leap. You'll walk away with so much more than stunning images you'll walk away with a deeper appreciation for yourself read more

She will make you feel so comfortable and it's such a fun experience. From meeting her, I felt so welcomed and comfortable. I feel like it would have been intimidating with anyone else, but honestly just felt like being around a friend and I think those are the vibes you should have when having a shoot like this read more

Carrie Anne Kelly Studios - Boudoir Photography Near Me

I found Carrie Anne after reading other Yelp reviews, so I'm going to pay it forward and tell you that if you're considering booking with her, do it! After checking out her Instagram page and seeing how detail oriented and visionary she is, I booked my session with her. The photobook is a gift is for my partner who is turning 40 in January, but it ended up being such a gift for myself as well. She is responsive and gives you all the information you need and is quick to answer any questions you might have. Let me tell you, I've worked with many creative people over the years (tattoo artists, photographers, hair stylists, etc.) and sometimes they can be a bit hard to reach or downright flaky, but that was never the case with Carrie Anne. As someone who appreciates professionalism, I can say that this woman is ON TOP OF HER SHIT. The look book that she and her bff Kat made was beautiful and they really "got" my style. And how sweet is it that she and her best friend collaborate?! The day of the session she made me feel so comfortable, I almost forgot that I was in some sexy lingerie in front of an almost stranger. She guides you through all your poses and cracks jokes so I definitely had some photos of me laughing :) Her spirit is so warm and endearing, it felt like we had known each other for years. Even though the gift was supposed to be a surprise for my partner, I ended up telling him about it once I got back from the shoot because it was just such a cool & empowering experience. And he was curious why I came home all glammed up. lol My book and prints haven't arrived yet, but the edited photos are amazing and I can't wait to see the finished product. There's an old Sex and The City episode when Samantha gets naked photos done for herself and she says, "So when I'm old and my tits are at my shoes, I can look back and say, 'Damn, I was hot.'" Carrie Anne is doing something so very important for women. She is helping us to see ourselves in a new way. She's helping us capture ourselves in a moment in time to enjoy forever. Society tells women in a million different ways that we aren't enough. But fuck that, really. WE ARE ENOUGH. So no matter if you're planning on gifting this to someone, it will inevitably end up being a gift to yourself. Embrace your unique beauty, lady. You are worth it! read more

I've been following Carrie Anne for a couple years year now and decided to book when she offered up a cancellation opportunity. I kept telling myself that I would book once I met a physical goal but then I realized what I really needed was to show some love to the body that I'm in right now. And I'm so glad I did. Carrie Anne is the ultimate hype girl. She has created such a warm and positive space to help facilitate healing and self-love. I left her studio on a high of acceptance and a glow of confidence. I have carried this with me over the past month and have chosen daily to be kinder to the woman in the mirror. The INCREDIBLE photos are an added bonus!! So, don't wait. Book her now! read more

Carrie Anne also shows you all of your unedited photos at the end of the session and will not be crazy photoshopping your body. She wants you to love who you are and she embraces that. I truly cannot say enough about my experience, it was therapeutic, healing, and truly empowering. If you have ever thought about booking boudoir, book here, you will not regret it! read more

Carrie Anne Kelly Studios - Portrait - Boudoir Photography Near Me

Carrie did an amazing job and made me feel very comfortable for my shoot! Thanks again!!

I've never felt so anxious about having my pictures taken before, considering that I've always been behind the camera taking pictures of my family. On top of that my life had just taken a turn, so I've just been uneasy in general, guilty for even doing such a thing for myself during this tough time. Upon my arrival, Carrie Anne had a sign welcoming me to my shoot. And then I was greeted immediately by her and right off the bat, I felt nothing but good vibes from her. Next came Christina who takes care of make-up/hair, and her vibes also was positive. Throughout getting ready, I was able to get to know both of them and felt comfortable. I honestly felt like I came out to hang out with them. I cannot stress how much they've hyped me up for the shoot, everything was so uplifting for my soul, my nerves were finally calming down. Christina glammed me up and I was ready. Christina knows her make-up and has years of experience. She highlighted my best features and is truly talented. Her and Carrie Anne are literally the perfect match. Carrie Anne has been commutative even before my shoot, helping me prepare for it as far as lingerie styles, theme, and even suggested helpful tips like stretching (WHICH IS A MUST!) Her set up was awesome, she made sure she had everything ready for me. She gave a heart to heart talk of my safe space and was being so assuring. From there we just hit it off. She kept hyping me up, cheering me on, giving me the confidence boost I've longed for. Trust me when I say this, Carrie Anne captured the best representation of myself. I was able to see what others saw, especially what my husband saw in me. It was a very emotional shoot for me, but Carrie Anne comforted me through it all. I can honestly say that I've never felt so beautiful in so long, and Carrie Anne was able to capture it for me. It was definitely the best way to celebrate going into my 30s and this new life I'm adjusting to. This shoot was more than just pictures. I've gained self-love and confidence. It was just what I needed to kick start my journey. This kind of boudoir photoshoot is what every woman needs. It wasn't like any other photoshoot, it is literally session to self discovery. A session to learn and accept yourself. That is a rarity to find in the photography/boudoir industry. Luckily Carrie Anne had the magic to do that, and I am forever grateful to meet such a beautiful soul who takes passion in her art. She is literally the painter, and you're the portrait on an isle. She truly captures your inner beauty that shines from the outside. I'll admit, I cried at the end of the session because I've never felt so beautiful and alive in so long. It felt like I found myself, the best version of myself blossoming. Carrie Anne was so comforting, supportive, basically a cheerleader for my soul. I couldn't ask for more. To hold onto an amazing experience, she offers amazing packages and even payment plans if you cannot pay in full. I went for the "Bold package" because why the hell not, I loved my pictures. Even though I've only seen unedited images, I still loved them. I cannot wait to see the finished project. I've already scheduled my second session with her in May, and I am already pumped for it! read more

Carrie Anne Kelly Studios - One of many photos Carrie Anne took, I honestly felt like "one with the plants" - Boudoir Photography Near Me

It's been a few months since my session so this review is overdue. I wanted to wait until my fiancée had the pleasure of reviewing my photos and the time has come! There were tears, soooooo many compliments and what got to my heart the most was, "the sexiest part about these is the confidence...I can tell YOU felt good that day and I feel like the luckiest that you shared this experience with me in this way, and that I get to enjoy it forever. Thank you." Well said. So worth it!! I'm so glad a friend from my San Diego-living days posted Carrie Anne's work when I was in the market for boudoir. I browsed around the gram looking for somebody more local, tried to talk myself out of taking the trek to Oceanside, knew that I could show up to some hotel room and have photos taken with another photographer who would've probably edited out my cellulite and every imperfection--creating some flawless images intended for the male gaze...however, the raw and uncut confidence and other feelings I felt the day of my photoshoot would not have been captured. I'm still processing it and growing from it. I'm so glad I was able to make it happen. read more

Today was my third shoot with Carrie Anne. I feel 100% safe with her and have complete faith that I will love the images. She has seen me in the best possible light and now I have pictures of myself that I use for everything. I use them on my website, for any professional headshot requests, any marketing I do. I also use them in my personal life for friends and families, and honestly in the dating world. Carrie Anne shot me when I first began my divorce and it was incredible to feel beautiful during that challenging time. Thank you for being on this journey with me, Carrie Anne! I felt so at ease today, like I was dancing alone in my own bedroom (with a dear friend). Thank you for embracing every aspect of every body. I trust you and appreciate you! read more

Nothing compares to the ART that Carrie Anne produces. I did a boudoir shoot as a gift for my soon-to-be hubby and am so glad I made the decision the go with her. She made me feel sooo comfortable in front of the camera, showed me every single pose, and even readjusted hair, hands, fixed clothing, etc. When the photos were uploaded, we looked at them together which added to the entire experience. It was great to get to know her better as well! Now I'm looking through the collection to choose my favorites but I'm obsessed with them all! Not a bad problem to have. Sooo worth the investment - I'm even thinking of turning a couple into wall art. My hubs and I will have them for the rest of forever! read more

Carrie Anne Kelly Studios - Boudoir Photography Near Me

You want to know what's cool? Carrie Anne Kelly Studios is a space in a beautiful seaside town that is safe, inclusive, and just really pretty to look at. You know what makes it even better? It gives women the space and encouragement to step into their power, to push boundaries and challenge themselves and slough off the misguided and unfair expectations society sets on their shoulders daily. Carrie Anne is the guide through the process. Open about her own journey and inspiration behind her work, she is gentle, warm, skilled at her craft, and welcoming. Carrie Anne's space is twofold: Yes, it's a business, and she's damn good at what she does. But it's also a place of compassion and cheerleading, where people have a genuinely good time doing something kind for themselves. The groovy vibe of the studio is second to none -- it's hard to imagine it's squeezed in a skinny storefront on a busy street. Walk through the door, greeted by Carrie Anne, and you'll immediately feel your shoulders drop. I don't just recommend Carrie Anne and her one-of-a-kind boudoir sessions. I actually challenge you, if there's even a glimmer of interest in investing in this experience, to jump right in and contact Carrie Anne immediately. At the very least, you'll get to interact with a genuine human (and her awesome stylist friend, Kat). If your experience is like mine and many others', you'll end up with a suite of photos that bring out your light and force, that reminds you that you deserve to take up space and to be seen. And you'll probably end up with some super cute lingerie to boot. What's not to love? read more

Carrie Anne Kelly was incredible to work with! Once I made the decision to have a boudoir shoot I knew I needed to find a photographer 1) That would respect my boundaries and celebrate my body despite my insecurities. 2) Offer both a safe space and esthetically cool environment. 3) Fit within my budget. FYI, for those interested in a boudoir shoot from an experienced professional with a studio space, best to anticipate at least $2.5k. It's pricy, but such a meaningful process. Carrie Anne exceeded my expectations. She is very intentional about her entire process, making YOU feel truly honored as a person, not a ticket number. I thought it was SO cool that in addition to a beautiful curated printed album, I connected with her stylist and received a custom style packet with a color palette, a USB including all edits, and the coolest little view finder. The view finder was such a neat surprise in my search for a photographer. Highly recommend this babe! read more

When you book with Carrie Anne, you get an experience not just photos. You will walk out of her studio standing a little taller and feeling empowered in yourself. Her studio is a safe space to express yourself and she is your BIGGEST cheerleader, seriously she cheers! She cares for your heart and really is invested in your shoot. I cannot overstate how beautiful Carrie Anne is from the inside, out. You have a partner to walk you through it! Her stylist Kat is phenomenal and my style guide was FIRE. I walked out of the studio with a soul sister, not just sexy photos. read more

Carrie Anne did such an amazing job with the photoshoot and made me feel so comfortable! I was afraid I would feel shy/uncomfortable doing a boudoir shoot and put it off until exactly one week before my wedding day. I'm so glad I did - she created a very warm and inviting space and made me feel at ease. The photos I took away from the shoot are so beautiful and make me feel confident and sexy! The album she created with the photos is also so high-quality and sleek. If you are thinking of doing a photoshoot with Carrie Anne, do it! 10/10 would recommend. read more

Carrie Anne, is one of a kind! I did a boudoir session with her and the process was smooth! She prepares you all the way leading up to the boudoir session. She is very responsive. read more

Booking a photoshoot with Carrie Anne was one of the most awesome things I've ever done for myself. She's an angel and made me feel so comfortable. And her photos....OMG she is TALENTED. I couldn't believe it was me in the photos, even before they were edited. I honestly cannot say enough good things about her and the experience as a whole. read more

I'm still processing everything and all the feel good emotions from my session a couple of weekends ago!! I knew from the first email exchange that I was in the right hands. It was incredible! I was super nervous, but surprisingly calm on my drive down. I was immediately greeted with big warm hugs from Carrie Anne and Christina. After makeup and hair was done it was just me and Carrie Anne. We sat down and chatted before the shoot started and I can't believe how relaxed I was from the minute we sat down, It was like we were old friends! I thought I would be so nervous but it was completely the opposite and that is because of you!!! Thank you for being my hype girl all day! I was so sad to have to leave. I can't stop looking at my photos, I'm just in awe! THANK YOU! read more

Amazing! CAK is the best! I'm not comfortable in front of a camera and find it difficult to pose naturally (cuz I'm not a model!) but CAK put me in the most beautiful poses and my pictures came out gorgeous and tailored to my aesthetic perfectly! My pictures turned out so good, I'm ready to book a shoot again! I wish I had found her sooner. If you haven't booked with her you should! 100% worth the investment in yourself. read more

What can I say about Carrie Anne that hasn't already been said. I had been playing with the idea of scheduling a Boudoir session for a really long time. I wanted to do something special for my husband for our anniversary but wasn't ready to commit. I would hop on Yelp and casually browse photographers in the area. Carrie Anne was one of the first pages that popped up and I scanned thru her yelp as well as a few others but I kept coming back to Carrie Anne's page. It was the aesthetics of the way she photographs that I could not stop looking at. I bookmarked her page and never looked at it again until a few months later. I did the same thing again, looked up Yelp pages, and kept going back to Carrie Anne's page and thought, eff it, request a quote. She is very responsive and we scheduled that same day. She sets you up with her BFF and stylist, Kat, who creates a lookbook for you based on a little questionnaire you fill out. Let me tell you, Kat was on point for my looks. I already knew what I was going to wear but she really takes your vibe and runs with it. Carrie Anne is with you every step of the way. From beginning to end. What I love is that she works with every type of body. She is SO down to earth, it's like chatting with a girlfriend. She is very transparent about her business, her idea and her work and you can FEEL it! You can feel and see that she loves what she does. I was nervous for the simple fact that I had never done anything like this before but she really takes the nervous energy and helps you to reframe it. She creates such a safe space in her space for you that it is so comforting. and LET ME TELL YOU, SHE IS A HYPE WOMAN!!! She really helps you tap into a more intimate side of yourself and accentuates the mess out of it. The photos came out SO BOMB!!! I am in LOVE with them and honestly, could not be happier. I know my husband will love them. I am so thankful for your work but especially for you, Carrie Anne. You are doing amazing things out here and I wish nothing but the best for you and your business because you deserve it all. read more

It has taken me seven months to finally write my review for Carrie Anne because what I've learned about myself during my boudoir session (and the whole process leading up to it) continues to unfold even months later. I spent years disconnected and extremely critical of my body. Eating disorder in high school and early childhood sexually abuse caused me to disassociate from my body, my sexuality and my power as a whole. Through many years of therapy, becoming a mother and supportive relationship with my husband, piece by piece I began to reclaim my body and my true self. Knowing that we carry so much emotion in our bodies, I knew the biggest piece of my healing was utilizing my body, instead of just talking, and begin to treat it as the piece of art that it is. So I decided to take the most courageous out of the box, most push myself to my edge of comfort place and do a boudoir session. It was time to reclaim my body as mine. It took me awhile but I came across Carrie Anne's website and this is where the magic began. Carrie Anne has an innate ability to communicate with such thoughtfulness, caring and protective nature. She encourages honesty and vulnerability through the process so once you're in front of the camera, you are much more comfortable and relaxed because you've already built a connection with her. It's very apparent that she does this work for deeper reasons than just taking beautiful photos. She cultivates safe spaces for her clients to transform. It's her passion and you immediately feel taken care of by her. The actual photo shoot (as nervous as I was) became a beautiful reintroduction to myself and my body. Carrie Anne models celebration, empowerment and confidence through the whole shoot. I literally felt myself profoundly shift from nervousness to empowerment through the photo shoot. Once received the "absolutely beautiful cannot believe that is me, blown out of the water "photos, they became a bridge and reminder to my present day. That I can feel this empowerment, this connected, this deserving every day, not just the day of my shoot. I am a therapist as well as have been in therapy for years, but working with Carrie Anne was one of the most healing, profound moments and I encourage everyone to work with her. A few of my other friends have done boudoir before but the process felt more transactional versus personal. Not with Carrie Anne. She is a gift. I'm am forever grateful for finding her. read more

10/10 could not recommend Carrie Anne more! I originally had been looking to do a boudoir shoot as a wedding gift for my husband but over the course of my process with Carrie Anne, this became more of an investment in myself. It sounds super cliche, but it was one of the most empowering things I've ever done and well worth the money. Carrie Anne is EXTREMELY organized in addition to being very creative, stylish, kind and your #1 cheerleader. I am not someone who loves being in front of the lens nor do I feel my best when photographed so had a lot of hesitation investing this much into photos of myself. Carrie Anne gave me so much confidence, the styling and makeup was incredible, and I keep coming back to these photos any day I need a boost of confidence. I thought I'd *maybe* have 5 photos I was thrilled with and instead ended up purchasing more than I'd planned (~40) because I was so obsessed with them. And even then, it was hard to narrow it down. I considered buying all ~250 of them! Boudoir can be SO hard to style (can turn out cheesy or too in your face) so I was worried, but Carrie Anne is truly a master at making sure it doesn't turn out that way. She makes you look so natural, stylish, effortless and sexy. I feel like when I'm 80 years old I'll be able to pull up these photos with a huge grin on my face knowing I did the damn thing. Long story sort, this is one of the most epic, worthwhile investments I've ever made and if you're looking for a sign to do it, this is it! read more

LET ME PUT Y'ALL ON TO THIS. Before you even read another review, just book the session. BOOK IT. This will be the single BEST thing you ever get for yourself or the person you love (literally screw Better Than Sex mascara, this is a Better Than Sex Boudoir sesh!!!!) There are no words to describe the feeling of having a session with the glowing light that is Carrie Anne. Every single dollar invested pays off 100 fold working with this woman! She removes the stress of every single part of the day and transforms it into an amazing experience. Overall, the photos looked absolutely STUNNING--and that was even before her editing. It just goes to show how beautifully she can capture every detail! She has the gift of connecting with people so effortlessly and it transfers into every photograph she captures. I'm typing this while STILL fangirling over the photos she did for me, and I can't wait to do it again. read more

I have sat down to write down this review so many times, and just can't find the words to express my appreciation and respect for Carrie Anne. I have always wanted to do a boudoir photoshoot ever since I saw my first one. At the time, my reason was trying to find the empowerment I desperately needed. I decided to do a boudoir shoot now for my (now) husband as a wedding gift. I felt an instant connection to Carrie Anne, she was so responsive, answered all my questions, and made me feel comfortable with my decision. She also squeezed me in within a few weeks of reaching out to her with my super tight deadline. Her stylist, Kat, is amazing! I seriously wanted to buy everything from her style guide she sent me. It was all so my style, and even things out of my realm of comfort that I really loved. Her hair/makeup person Christina is also the best. She made me feel so comfortable even with how nervous I was and helped me relax. She did an amazing job with my hair+makeup. Back to Carrie Anne and the actual photoshoot. It was really one of the best things I've ever done for myself. She made me feel so empowered, so proud of myself, and also so in love with myself. One of the reasons I had chosen Carrie Anne was her commitment to not photoshopping bodies. I have some body shame issues, but it was important for me to love my body for what it is and what it does for me. Carrie Anne has such a way of promoting self love that I felt like I was on cloud 9 for months following the shoot. I 100% cried on the way home from just allowing myself to feel so many feelings. I poured over the album when I got it, soaking in all those moments again, and parts of me don't recognize who the person is in those pictures. It feels so surreal. The moodiness in her photos is to die for. I'm just seriously so in awe of Carrie Anne, and can't recommend doing something like this for yourself. Carrie Anne is the perfect amount of hype, passion, and caring. read more

From start to finish Carrie Anne was the most responsive, helpful, knowledgeable and my number one hype girl. I could not have asked for a more positive and empowering boudoir shoot. I originally booked a session with Carrie Anne so I could have photos to give my fiancé for our wedding gift. But the experience was so much more than that. It really was all about me and celebrating my body. I've never felt sexier and more comfortable in my own skin and I cannot thank Carrie Anne enough for that. This whole process is definitely an investment, but one that is 100% worth it. Going through her questionnaire allowed me to figure out what I want out of the session. The style guide that her and Kat put together is SO helpful. Without this I may have been a little lost on the vibe I was going for and keeping my outfits consistent. (something that was important to me, being so type A). The recommendations from retailers was great too! a few of my favorite looks came from their recommendations. Leading up to my photoshoot day, every detail from reminders of my shoot, location, parking details, and little things to keep my looks organized were laid out for me from Carrie Anne which I always appreciate! Day of I was greeted with a huge hug from Carrie Anne which made me feel like we were old friends. From the moment I walked in the door her and Christina made me feel so comfortable and really put my nerves at ease. Her studio space and the aesthetic was so calming and inviting too! I can't emphasize this enough - but Carrie Anne is the most talented photographer I have ever worked with. There are a lot of people who can take great photos, but Carrie Anne knows how to position your body just right, use the natural lighting and props to create the most gorgeous photos. Her moody style is not by accident, she knows exactly what elements need to come together to create this. And that is what separates a good photographer from an outstanding one. The photos that I have received have been BEAUTIFUL. And it feels weird to say that since I am in them. lol But the photographs themselves really are just that. All this to say, if you are looking for an incredible experience, an empowerment journey for yourself and some bad ass photos, I cannot recommend Carrie Anne enough. I love me a female-owned business and Carrie Anne deserves all the success. read more

Carrie Anne is the photographer to book with. Book a boudoir shoot with her or any photoshoot to capture your unique personality/style. Her work speaks for itself, I just knew I had to work with her after seeing shots shared from her many clients on Instagram. There is magic oozing in every photo, and beauty shining from every body type represented. Not only does Carrie Anne have the professional camera skills on lock, she also knows how to model. She led me through my whole shoot, every pose, even helped me into poses I knew I wanted. The experience from beginning to finish was effortless and so much fun despite that I had never done a boudoir shoot before. Her studio has very chill/sultry energy, with perfect natural lighting that isn't too bright, well-placed plants, and the coolest furniture. Her energy is that of a friend you've already known forever. I felt like a goddess and she hyped me up the whole two hours. I come from a past heavily drenched in domestic violence, that has made me feel ugly and guarded for many years. So, this was stepping WAY out of my comfort zone. Carrie Anne made it easy for me to be vulnerable, and I felt safe with her. I could tell right away she is a gentle and compassionate person. I am someone that has always picked myself apart in photos and in the mirror. However, during this experience, I had so many healing moments throughout the photoshoot. I was even lovingly looking at myself in mirrors, (oh and yes she has amazing mirror camera tricks). I felt so free and beautiful, finally appreciating myself for what I've survived and feeling so empowered. A photoshoot with Carrie Anne Kelly will have you feeling glamorous as hell. She will take photos of you that will have you double-taking at yourself, and falling in love with everything that make you YOU! read more

Carrie Anne is pure talent. She knows exactly what she's doing, knows exactly how to make you comfortable, and makes you feel like a million bucks. The tones of her images are to die for, and overall her art is incredible!!! read more

There is nothing but positive things to say about Carrie Anne. Even before time of booking, up until after the photoshoot, she was extremely informative, supportive and available to answer any questions or concerns. I really wanted to find a photographer who I felt I would truly connect with, and despite the nerves going into the session, would allow for such an amazing connection to make the experience what it was. Additionally, how passionate she is about her work, the meaning behind it, and her clients really stood out to me. She has created a space that felt so welcoming and beautiful. If you are on the fence about booking a boudoir shoot, just know you are not alone, but I promise you it is absolutely worth it when you book with Carrie Anne. I'm beyond pleased to be able to look at my photos and see not only such beautiful photos, but am reminded of the experience I had. I will definitely be booking again in the future. read more

One of the most empowering things I've done for myself, and if you're even at all considering booking a boudoir session Carrie Anne is THE best. Truly. Not only is she such a genuine person and really friendly (even before you book the session!), but her whole approach was just refreshing. You will feel so in your element and present in your body even if you've never done something like this before. That's also thanks to her stylist Kat and her wonderful services! After filling out a questionnaire about my style and vision for the shoot she put together a beautiful, cohesive lookbook with all the links to the pieces she picked out. They put so much care and attention to detail into it! It was such a fun experience, and the best part was getting to sit down after the session and see the raw photos. Since Carrie Anne helps with all the posing, all the images look so natural and flattering. I was smiling so hard by the end of the day because I just knew that this experience was one of a kind, and I'm so glad I came across Carrie Anne Kelly studios. You will NOT regret booking with her!! read more

I wanted to gift something for my fiancé on our wedding day so I decided to do a boudoir shoot. I was referred to Kelly Anne by a friend of mine and she exceeded all my expectations. She was thorough in how the process works and helped me all the way even down to what I wore. Day of I was nervous because obviously getting undressed in front of a stranger felt awkward but it went away almost immediately. She was my hype woman the whole time. I even got to see my pictures right away and I was blown away. I love that she didn't edit/ morphe my body, I am proud of what my body looks like! If you are on the fence, just do it! As much as this was a gift for him, it's equally for me too! read more

Self love, respect and fulfillment is found here! The space is intimate. The atmosphere is welcoming. The Photographer Carrie Anne is a true class act. Not only was Carrie Anne extremely professional and talented behind the lens but she has a down to earth, transparent and inviting energy that instantly makes you feel present. My experience at Carrie Anne Studios exceeded every expectation or hope I had prior to the session. I felt more comfortable in my own skin and more aware of myself than I have ever before. "Empowered" is just the word. I would not have experienced this raw and special moment if it was not for Carrie Anne's gift in creating a space where magic and change can happen..for the mind and soul. Thank you for sharing your talents and for your guidance every step of the way. You are making a change for every woman that walks into your space! You are the magic! -Aside from all that goodness, Carrie Anne and her make up stylist completely accommodated me when a scheduling mishap occurred. Thus, causing some pivoting on everyone's part. Because of my tight timeline, she not only worked around a booked schedule but made me feel as if the session was meant to happen when it did. Complete professionalism. My stress and anxiety melted away as soon as I stepped foot into her gorgeous studio where she captured something in me that I will never forget. read more

Carrie Anne Kelly works magic in her studio. Be aware this is much more than just a boudoir shoot. You'll leave having an entirely new sense of empowerment, confidence and a big ole grin on your face feeling like you're on the top of the world. I had never done anything like this before but Carrie Anne was really reassuring and supportive from the get go. I also liked the session would take place in her own home. For me that made it more private and personal and less of big commercial studio vibe. Pre-session, Carrie Anne outlined how it would work with these really insightful PDFs sent out when I booked the session fee. Every communication with her put my mind even more at ease so by the time I entered the studio I was ready! Oh did I mention you also get access to a stylist to help pick personalized outfits for your sessions? For me I didn't know where to even START with lingerie so her stylist gave me a ton of ideas that were beautiful. During the session, Carrie Anne was undeniably a pro. She knows all the right angles, the right poses, the right hair tosses to make you shine like the goddess you already are. She's incredibly encouraging as well. Imagine an excited coach on the sidelines when you hit a home run, that was Carrie Anne. Her energy brings out YOUR best energy and in return you get to see that reflected in your photos. Post-session (this is 100% true) she warmed me up a slice of Julian Apple Pie and made me iced coffee, while she loaded up the photos on her computer so we could go through them together and I thought is this FOR REAL?! How did she know that Julian Apple Pie was the way to my heart!? We went through the photos together and your jaw just drops because you can't believe that that's actually YOU! When I received the photos in the mail a few weeks later, the packaging was beautiful and cohesive. Coming from a seasoned marketing professional, Carrie Anne has nailed her branding and customer experience. Book a session with Carrie Anne and you won't regret it! I already booked a SECOND session shortly after this first one and I look forward to it! read more
