I actually found him after speaking with a different boudoir photography company whose ad I had seen on Instagram; I decided to do some research before committing to anyone, and found Cheshire on Yelp, checked out his website, and put in an inquiry. He called me very quickly and the conversation was so different from the other places I spoke with! Instead of just laying out "here's how it works, here's what you get for this price," etc., he asked a lot about what I was looking for, what I hoped to get out of it, my motivations or inspirations, etc. That personal touch carried throughout the experience. He consistently made an effort to understand what I was looking for--from the planning process to the photo shoot to going through the photos afterward--to make sure that I got exactly what I was hoping for. The photos themselves are absolutely awesome. It's incredible the different looks and feels he creates in a relatively small studio. More importantly, he just has an incredible eye for what is going to look good and how to create looks, moods, etc. I felt super comfortable the whole time, and I think that shows in the final product. Everyone who has seen my pictures has been blown away. He's way more than just a photographer; he's a true artist. Never in a million years had I ever imagined having a giant naked photo of myself on my wall, and yet here we are...and everyone who's seen it has been amazed. Can't recommend him highly enough!

A boudoir photo shoot had been on my bucket list for a long time. I was engaged and thought it…read morewould be the perfect wedding gift, but can't say it wasn't a gift to myself as well. I researched different photographers and Andrea caught my eye for 2 reasons: her beautiful, timeless and elegant photos and her dialogue around doing a boudoir photo shoot. She starts with introspective questions about what you want to portray in your photos. She nurtures a healthy body image along the way and makes you feel your best from the inside out. That is truly her magic. The day itself was so special where I got to step out of my normal routine and into the routine of a super model. Andrea and her team had every detail worked out, so I could just relax and go with it. I visited Andrea again to review the photos to choose my favorites. There were too many and I ended up making the book bigger to solve that "problem." The end product is two books (boudoir + fine art) full of beautiful, professional photos. I gifted the book the morning of our wedding day and my now husband was absolutely floored. They now live on his nightstand and we both look at the often. Thank you, Andrea! When can we do it again?!?!

I received my album having been away for a few days and wow!!!!!…read more I am so thrilled with the results. From the very first time I reached out and received Andy's response I knew I wanted to go ahead with this adventure. And what an adventure it's been. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner! I'm so happy with the results and I had so much fun with her and her amazing make up artist on the day. Two awesome women with make up, a camera, some great lighting and champagne? Pretty perfect day! I felt beautiful, comfortable and most importantly had so much FUN. I have wonderful memories from this whole experience! I'm sure you're sick of hearing it but THANK YOU! It must be so fulfilling to have a job where you get to make women feel like the best versions of themselves.

I recently worked with Karen for a boudoir shoot in her new studio on 2nd Street in Santa Rosa and…read morewas delighted to see the results! Although there was a little confusion about the start time (and checking my contract, the date was mentioned, but the time wasn't specified), I was relieved to find that she was able to accomodate me, although I arrived late that day. Hair and make-up was done in keeping with my preference for minimal variation from my normal, no frills look. I also specified that I was hoping to avoid retouching of my skin coloration and imperfections, as I want images that document my age, rather than disguising them. She was quite open to me bringing my own wardrobe items and there was a dress I've always wanted to get photographs in, since it was a gift and I've never gotten full-length images of me wearing it, despite owning it for a number of years now. I was also curious about trying full nudes and had been hesitant to embark on such work with larger studios, but knowing it was going to be just Karen and me in the room for the photo shoot, I was brave enough to try those poses as well. Everything was done quite tastefully, she ensured I was comfortable and directed throughout the experience and the results speak for themselves. For obvious reasons, I'm only including the fully dressed images, but all of the pictures I've received are beautiful. There's about a week between the photo shoot and the date that you need to return to view your photos, so I made two visits to town, which certainly wasn't an inconvenience, since I only live about 20 minutes away, but worth knowing for those considering a longer drive. I'm looking forward to the upcoming pool party and meeting other members of the community she's building!

There was a minor hiccup with scheduling due to short staff at work but Karen worked with me…read more Her hair and make up artist was amazing and made me feel super pampered for my studio session. We put on some tunes and A game plan was hatched for poses/ outfits/ and expressions. I felt sexy and totally confident. I met with her a couple weeks later for picture reveal and chose my package. She was able to work out a payment plan for my images. Which I am thankful for! I received my boxed set and digital images after paying off the package. My guy was surprised by them. She also does fun get togethers for a local charity and also other fun events once you are in the group. Strongly suggest for other women who want to feel badass for themselves or for someone special.

I had long promised my husband that I would do a boudoir photo session. I researched many…read morephotographers and luckily, I came upon Jason Guy's photographs. I knew within minutes that he was the one I wanted to work with. I loved all the lighting and photo compositions in his gallery. His attention to ALL details is unparalleled! If you have any doubts in your mind about working with Jason, let me save you time, and say unequivocally DO IT! From our first phone call discussing details about location and the photo shoot, he answered my questions and asked for my input and what I wanted to see. Jason is a consummate professional and I urge you to read his guidance emails about what appointments to make the week of (waxing, manicures etc) and then what lingerie suits your body type. For me this was invaluable advice since I was at a loss what would accentuate my figure, but with Jason's guide I found great corsets and bodysuits that I loved wearing! I cannot neglect mentioning Ducky who Jason works exclusively with for makeup and hair. She did an amazing job! Then during the photo session, seriously listen to everything Jason tells you do. Just smile and enjoy the experience! Jason will help you pose and create the most beautiful and memorable photos of you. I'm still in awe viewing the photos from that day. Thank you so much Jason!

I can't recommend JG Boudoir enough…read more When I first found Jason's work, I was completely drawn in -- every image he posted radiated confidence, beauty, and a kind of self-assurance I didn't think I had. I admired the women in his photos but truly never imagined I could be one of them. After sitting on it for a while, I finally booked a session. From the very first consultation, Jason made me feel completely comfortable and supported. He walked me through every step -- from prepping, to posing, to coaching me through expressions -- all while making sure I felt empowered the entire time. His makeup artist, Ducky was incredible, helping me feel my absolute best before stepping in front of the camera. But the real magic happened after the first few shots -- when Jason turned the camera around and showed me the photos. I genuinely couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was me -- but through a lens I had never seen myself through before. I felt proud. I felt compassion for myself. And I walked away from that session forever changed. Since then, my entire relationship with my body and self-image has shifted. What Jason creates is so much more than photos -- it's an experience that allows you to finally see yourself the way others see you. If you've ever even thought about doing a boudoir session, I encourage you to book with Jason. You deserve to see yourself this way.

I brought four outfits from home, but ended up borrowing from the studio one amazing piece. Along with shoes and jewelry this studio was stocked. Christina the owner and photographer was so talented. I never felt rushed. She did not seem like she was in a hurry. She made sure I was positioned to be the most flattering and would help me adjust things as needed. Once my session was over, she explained to me the process for getting my album. She gave me options for the cover and let me choose the photos I wanted in the album. Along with that came a flash drive with all of my photos taken on the day. Within two weeks my album arrived at my door and it is beautiful. I would recommend this studio to anyone who might be afraid to do a session like this. I was never uncomfortable and I'm not normally photogenic. This was a great experience!

Christina made you feel so comfortable in your own skin. I had a great experience and had so much fun!!! I would love to do it again! Next time it will be with my bestie!!! I am so happy I did it. I inspired others to do the same thing. Christina and her makeup artist will doll you up and beautify you. It will be ALL about you. If you're on the fence and kinda shy, go see Christina. She's great and you will have an amazing photo session!

I highly recommend Johnathan for a luxury feel Boudoir shoot! I am near the end of a era in my life…read moreand I researched several Boudoir photographers to capture what my body is now. Johnathan's art work speak for themselves and I really was drawn to his artistic/moody/dark/sexy vibe that comes across so clearly in this work. All of his pictures are of high quality and of variety! For me personally, I spoke with Johnathan over the phone before booking him and found him to be easy to talk to. He is super responsive which was important for me as a client. He makes you feel valued as an individual as his services are pretty customized. We worked together to curate something that is deeply intimate and personal for myself, which was also very important to me to have something that was authentically me. The experience was very smooth in that he made sure to find a location that I was comfortable with, and did not rush any piece of the process, at all. It is very important to make the client feel comfortable and not rushed. Johnathan did a great job with making me feel comfy every step of the way. All in all, he is just great to work with, worth every cent!

How come I never found Bella Boudoir and Design any sooner.....???…read moreTamara is a highly skilled artist mastering in Photography for over 30 years! I entered Bella Boudoir and Design to consult regarding a Boudoir photoshoot. She spend a lot of much needed time with me during our consult. She was two months booked out for a session at the time. I really needed a Monday appt due to myself running a business. Tamara and makeup artist, Deeana (from the powder room) went out of their ways to come together and accommodate me for a Monday shoot. 2 months went by fast!!! And when it was ready for shoot day, Deeana put her professional makeup skills to work. She completely made me over in just an hour. After the beauty treatment, it was time for: Lights....Camera.....Action! Tamara gave me almost 3 hours of shoot time in her beautiful private studio. The package chosen consisted of 6 outfit changes. I had purchased the package that allows me to buy the mobile app. Sharing was important to me. And with the app, you are able to share to any mobile device. She doesn't had you a cd of your photos and say, "here ya go." Her photos are not for printing! As she owns the rights to the photos. Tamara had this way of helping me relax and be at ease during my shoot. She talked me though exactly what to do, how to pose. Her studio, lighting and skills are ON POINT! I'm very much looking forward to going back with my dogs. Because she photographs animals too
