    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

    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!

    This was an investment I made for myself and Carrie Anne delivered. Boudoir is such an intimate experience, you want someone to make you feel empowered and comfortable. Carrie Anne truly goes above and beyond from the moment you request information to the styling guides, boudoir prep information, etc. She has also paired with some other awesome local business woman (shout out Kat and Christina) to really make you feel fabulous the whole day of your shoot. 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!

    One of many photos Carrie Anne took, I honestly felt like "one with the plants"

    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!

    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!

Of course, I thought "Sure, this isn't for me, it's really for you honey!" However, I finally got into the mood and welcomed the day to arrive. I was surprised at how relaxed I felt with Kellie, and she had a glass of champagne waiting for me while my hair and makeup were done. Fortunately, I found some really great outfits to wear and Kellie directed me how to pose, etc. I felt completely beautiful and sexy during the session and was excited for my husband to see how it all turned out! He was completely blown away with the finished product and so was I!!! This truly has been a gift FOR me, not just my husband. I highly recommend that EVERY woman make the time to honor herself, regardless of age, and contact Kellie Foster to set up a Boudior Photoshoot!!!

This is everything you would want from a photoshoot whether…read moreyou're a professional vixen or an everyday vixen looking to do something fun and unique. Its easy to see why scott and melissa are the go to in their industry. The studio is picture perfect in sunny seaside carlsbad and well worth the drive for people like me who live in OC. There are various vintage sets to create a multitude of scenes and poses for whatever you're thinking whether it be super sweet or super fetish. Scott's use of lighting and coloring is definitely a specialty and very very cool. Melissa is an expert at directing you how to pose- if you have zero experience you will come out of there feeling like you had a professional shoot of a paid model. They are both super down to earth warm people and fantastic to be around for a few hours. No need to be shy or freaked out they make it all work effortlessly. If you're looking to do something fun whether it be racy and more nude or just have some really fun vintage backdrops to some pictures no matter what your goal their studio is a must visit. Their prices are also extremely reasonable with payments if needed. I feel like I got a really good value for my money. Everyone has an inner pinup this is definitely the place to help let it shine. They will be doing my family Christmas cards as well totally kitschy vintage and awesome!!

    My friend did a shoot with Boudoir Divas before her wedding in 2017, and while I loved her photos,…read moreI wasn't sure it was for me. However, once I got engaged, my fiancé and I were with my friend and her husband, and the way he spoke about how much be loved and "used" the photos when she was recovering from giving birth convinced me to do boudoir photos for my fiancé. Naturally, I was nervous about doing them, but they informed me that in their entire time in business, they have never had a leak. More importantly, the pictures are so tasteful that if they did get out, at least there is no actual nudity at all. Before your shoot, they send you a super detailed and helpful e-mail about what to bring/order, what they have that you can wear, where to park, and anything else you can think of! Definitely read the whole e-mail even though it's lengthy because it's got lots of useful stuff in there! I did the By the Sea Shoot, which is only done on Saturdays from about 3:15/3:30-7:15/7:30 p.m. includes 1-1.5 hours of hair and make-up. My schedule went like this: 3:30 p.m.-4:45ish p.m.: Ashley did my hair and make-up while giving me some champagne to relax and loosen up 4:45-5:00 p.m.: Get into outfit # 1 5:00 p.m.-6:45 p.m. ish: -Photos in outfit # 1, -Change into outfit # 2 and pics in that outfit in a different area or backdrop, -Change into outfit # 3 and pics in that outfit in a different area or backdrop -Ashley also had me put on a button down over outfit #1 and a fuzzy jacket over outfit # 3 which created 2 extra looks 6:45-7:00 p.m.: Pack-up to leave the studio and drive to the nearby beach 7:00 p.m.-7:15 p.m.: Pics in beach outfit # 1 7:15 p.m.-7:30 p.m.: Pics in beach outfit # 2 I did my shoot on Saturday, April 30, and I received my pictures via a password protected online gallery on Wednesday, May 11 (8 business days later). Then, you select 25 photos for the album using the favorites feature on the online gallery. Once you select those, Lindsey will edit your photos as little or as much as you want and send you a proof of the album. I haven't finalized my album yet, but I'm sure it will be great! My only critique would be that I did feel like the whole experience was a lot of money. I did find other studios that charge less. However, I proceeded with Boudoir Divas nonetheless for two reasons: First, for something like this, you really want to go with someone trusted and used by someone. Knowing my friend used them, that her photos were tasteful, that they made her feel comfortable, and that the photos were secure was important to me. Second, our engagement photos were $700.00 for 2 hours, and that did not include hair and make-up, so I guess $1,695.00 plus tax is pretty fair for a shoot twice the length that includes hair and make-up. Including some of the less scandalous photos or cropped photos that are appropriate that I absolutely loved. An added bonus to doing this is that there is so much pressure to look perfect on your wedding day, but these photos turned out so much better than I could have ever expected that they really boosted my confidence before my big day. Ashley was a great photographer too, who made me feel very comfortable, helped me style my outfits and made suggestions, listened to what I wanted, did a phenomenal job on my hair and make-up, posed me well (and actually showed me the poses first herself rather than just describing them), and is just a super sweet and kind human being! If you are thinking about doing boudoir photos, definitely use Boudoir Divas.

    If you're indecisive and looking for that sign to get over yourself and book your photo shoot with…read moreThe Boudoir Divas, this is it. "Do it!!!" Fast forward to nearly 6 years since I've been a client, there is a saying that goes, "The more things change, the more it remains the same." The last time I stepped foot into their location, it was a towering space of wonder located in Sorrento Valley and now it is in a cozy, intimate studio near the ocean in Solana Beach. I had my photo shoot this past March, just a week shy of my birthday. I too, have transitioned in the past 6 years. The last time I was here, it was to celebrate my weight loss journey. It was definitely a milestone worth commemorating at the time, with an additional 30lb loss since those original photos were taken. At this phase in my life, I decided to do this for me. Not for my husband or for anyone else for that matter. In the past 12 months, I have endured and was blessed with a rollercoaster of life events that would test the mental and physical strength of any fierce woman. I chose "self-care" to celebrate my birthday this year and the care and attention of these fabulous women is what they gave me that day. What hasn't changed is the core of what makes The Boudoir Divas well sought after. The core being Marissa, Ashley, and Lindsey...and the addition of Julia on the day I was there. I felt like I was greeted by friends and was comfortable throughout the entire process. I brought in quite a selection of outfits even though they had many options to choose from as well. I was given feedback at what would look best for my shoot. Like before, I just let go of whatever anxiety I may have had and let them take care of me. Let them take the lead for you ladies. Ashley did a phenomenal job on my hair and makeup. Marissa was my photographer, and she worked her magic on me like before. Julia was an added addition to the team that added more positive vibes into my day. Lindsey is behind the scenes working on my selected photos. The whole process from start to finish was 3.5-4hrs. I had 3-4 wardrobe changes. I even opted to have a book this time around. I'm not going to reiterate what I had mentioned in my previous review since it very much still applies as far as the overall experience, post shoot photo review of your photos, and the process leading up to receiving your photos. The only change this time around is that I'm by the beach and there is a cute little cafe just a few steps from the studio as an option to go while waiting for the photos to upload. There is a reason why I'm a repeat client. These women love their job, and it shows. Its money well spent. You will get what you pay for. I feel like my second go this time around was even better. I looked amazing. I felt amazing. The quality of my photos is tastefully done. I'm surrounded by professional, caring women who have the wealth of experience that you will not find in any other photo studio that you may think of booking. I already have a few of my girlfriends booked and ready to go in the next couple of weeks and I'm excited for their experience. Like I said, if you're on the fence and need a sign about which team of professionals you want handling your photo shoot, this is it. It's these team of women. I wouldn't choose anyone else. Highly recommend!
