    Such a talented photographer!! Desirae shot some product photos for a business I was considering starting. Let me tell you, EVERY SINGLE SHOT she did was gorgeous. She brought props and back drops. She was so fun and open to all my ideas! If you need prosecution photos taken that aren't your basic studio shot, Des is your gal!! Thank you again Des!

    If you're looking for a photographer that will make you feel super comfortable in front of the camera, then Desirae is your girl!! My boyfriend and I had never taken professional pictures before ( mainly because I was worried it would look staged and not natural) let me tell you I absolutely love every single picture she took of us and she gives the perfect amount of direction on how to pose. Not only is she personable, sweet and great at what she does but her turn around time for pictures was literally 2 days. I'd give her 10 stars if I could!!

    Our mini session with Desirae exceed our expectations. She was professional and gave great direction. Not to mention the amount of great photos we got from this short session was incredible! We will definitely be booking with her again!!

    My boyfriend and I recently did a couples shoot with Desirae and we could not be happier with how the photos turned out, as well as the whole process. I love taking photos and was looking forward to the shoot, but was also a little nervous as I hadn't taken professional photos in a long time. My boyfriend on the other hand is not a huge picture guy and was a little unsure but was excited as well. Desirae not only made it so comfortable and gave great direction, but made it so much fun too. She is so sweet and clearly loves what she does, so her passion makes the experience even better. She then got the pictures to us very quick; we got so many photos and they turned out amazing. Will definitely be booking with her again!

    If you're thinking about booking with Desirae, don't think... BOOK!! I found Desirae on Facebook when I was searching for a maternity photographer and fell in love with her page and the style of her photos. She had great pricing and was super responsive when I reached out. I just got the feeling that it would be a great fit! Desirae had locations that she suggested we could shoot at but also gave me the option to shoot at any location of my choice. She was so easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. Her eye for detail is insane! My husband is not a fan of taking photos but Desirae made the process really fun and effortless for both of us! She gave us ideas for poses and was great at giving us direction but letting us flow and be natural too! Desirae even asked if we wanted our dog to be in a few pictures! We finished getting the shots we wanted quickly so she asked if I had another outfit to change into or wanted to shoot at another location close by. We ended up talking about it and she made me feel comfortable enough to capture a few 'bare belly' shots! I've never done anything like that before but looking back I am so happy I did! Overall, our entire time together couldn't have gone better! When we finished the session Desirae said she'd get some sneak peak pictures to us in a few days and the gallery to us in about two weeks. Most of the other photographers I messaged gave me an estimate of a 3-4 week turn around time so I thought that hers sounded great. I was shocked when THAT NIGHT she sent me my sneak peak and THE NEXT DAY she sent me the entire gallery!! Are you kidding me?! How can you ask for more?? The photos came out better than I could have EVER imagined! I was absolutely speechless looking through them all and know they will be ones that we appreciate forever! I can't wait to work with her again! I'm dying to book one of her family mini sessions but am waiting for the baby to get here :) I follow her on Instagram and the props she gets for those shoots are so cute and different! Thank you so much Desirae!! You are truly the best of the best!

    This review is LONG overdue as Desirae took some family pictures for us back in November! My son was barely a month old and my husband and I wanted to get some family photos with him so little. She was AMAZING. The location she picked out was perfect! Not to mention how personable and sweet she was the entire time. We felt she really went above and beyond the entire photoshoot; made sure she got some of just the babe, us with him, individuals and even asked if there were any poses we had in mind. It was overall an incredible experience which turned even more amazing when she had the pictures ready not even 24 hours later! I was up late feeding the little one, exhausted, feeling defeated when I check my email and see all the beautiful moments she had captured. In that moment I felt a sense of peace looking at my little family. Those newborn days were a blur So I am so thankful I have those pictures to look back on that she so beautifully captured. Thank you Desirae We can't wait for you to capture more of our family soon!

    We loved our family photos! She did a great job capturing the right shot even with a one year old. She also made a point to get us our photos in a timely manner for Christmas cards. We will definitely be using her again!

    Desirae is absolutely amazing! She is such a kind person who knows how to capture your special moments perfectly. I absolutely love the photos that she took for my college graduation. She was such a joy to work with and I hope to one day shoot with her again.

For the past 5 years, I've completely dedicated myself to my children and family. It's become a large part of my identity and I needed a reminder that "mommy" isn't the only title that defines me. I wanted to reclaim the strong, sexy, and stunning part of myself and Natalia made it possible for me to do that. I booked a session with her for my birthday this past October and the experience exceeded my expectations. She was very professional, scheduling a consultation before we even set a date to answer all my questions, go over details, and to set expectations. Leading up to our shoot, we shared a Pinterest inspiration board. I had outside-of-the-box boudoir ideas and Natalia was extremely receptive to capturing something beyond the ordinary. When the day arrived, I got to spend a few hours playing the ultimate dress-up and indulging the fantasy-nerd in me. I felt confident, empowered, glamorous, and alive! Natalia was warm and vibrant; made me feel like I was hanging out with my best friend. As a woman and a mother, herself, she really understood my feelings and helped me bring out the best in myself. While the shoot took place during the flatter part of the COVID curve, she took all safety precautions and I felt very safe during our session. Several weeks later, I got a beautiful album and series of photos that truly reflect my inner goddess! Definitely one of the best investments that I've ever made. Natalia allowed me to have a wonderful experience and exquisite keepsakes that I can admire for a lifetime. This was truly a gift and worth every single penny!

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!

She's great and you will have an amazing photo session!

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?!?!

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.

Her studio is warm and welcoming and she has many back drops to choose from. They capture the best candids that make the picture look so natural. We recently decided to get my whole family in one big photo but thought it would be impossible! Only because I have 8 sisters, 1 brother and about 30 nieces and nephews plus their kids!!

From our engagement session, which was included in the package, through the entirety of the wedding, Anna and team were fantastic to work with. They just made taking pictures easy and comfortable.

She was instrumental in assisting my wife with her dress, setting up the shots, and organizing the family for the group pictures. Not only are they great to work with, the photos are breath taking. We wouldn't recommend any other photographer more than Ultra-Spective to capture your wedding day. Tip: Ultra-Spective offers a "guest-book", which is a compilation of pictures taken during the engagement session organized in a book with custom prompts such as "give the newly weds advice". We used this as the guest book at our wedding and it was perfect! High recommend!

That may be far too dramatic a term but it really sums up my inspiring photo experience with photographer Lone Mrch Schneider. My 34th birthday was approaching and I wanted to replace the standard feelings of gloom about growing older with a more positive experience. Indulging myself with a sexy and revealing boudoir photo session was the best birthday gift I could give to myself. In a serendipitous way I happened upon Lolo's Boudoir website (www.lolosboudoir.com) and instantly knew she was the one. Her photographic style instinctively appealed to me: ethereal but natural, timeless, spontaneous, sensual and revealing yet at times coquettish. I can't claim to be an expert on the art of photography but I have strong opinions on what I like and don't like. So many other photo boudoir websites had revealed to be tacky, campy and very artificial. Lolo's Boudoir has heartfelt style. Before our session I felt a little self conscious and I had warned Lone that I might prove to be one of her more 'curvier' clients and that given the wrong angle I might not be one of her most photogenic! She reassured me through examples from her portfolio she would discover the best I had to give. Lone possesses artistic mindfulness. She kindly encouraged the real me to the surface and helped me uncover the beauty I thought I never possessed. The entire experience was an awakening and rebirth of my sensual spirit. Lone has the magical ability to transform any environment. We had an outdoors photo shoot where she transformed the forest into a starlet's dressing room. Lone's gentle, fun and professional personality allowed me to shed all inhibitions. I spent a cold winter morning frolicking about the forest, playing the role of nymph, drama queen and even bathing beauty as I shed all and luxuriated in the freezing cold stream water. At that moment I felt I had experienced a 'creative baptism' of sorts. Regardless of just whom you have in mind while you're smiling (or smirking, flirting, luring) for while posing for the camera lens; you should always be posing for yourself. Just you. A photographic experience at Lolo's Boudoir is all about you. It's a special time for you to be sensual, carefree, indulgent, sexy and alluring. With a complimentary glass of champagne and a few nibbles of fine chocolate...how could you not be?

We hit it off and I couldn't wait for my big day. On the day of my wedding, I couldn't have asked for a better turnout. She kept me calm and laughing leading up to the aisle, and she brought tears of joy to my eyes when I saw the photos after. Her photos captured the night so perfectly and will forever be cherished. Now the hard part is deciding which photos to include in the album. It is going to be a tough choice with so many great shots to choose from. Shortly after my wedding, I had an engagement with an organization I belong to at work and was in charge of finding a photographer. It was an easy task for me having just had my wedding. So, she worked with me within the parameters needed, as our organization was a non-profit, and came up with multiple packages for the attendees to choose from. Throughout the night, I watched as the line grew longer for the photos and was pleased to see everyone laughing and smiling and seeming to be enjoying themselves while they were working with her. She and her staff were non-stop that night and all of the photos were sent out in a timely manner as promised. Since then, I have had nothing but positive feedback from those that had their photos taken and have even heard from others that they regretted not taking photos that night as they had seen her work and wished they had. If you're in the market, I highly recommend this photographer!!
