She brings out everyone's natural beauty, no airbrushing or posing, just them in real life. I treasure all 3 sessions we've been able to do over the last 7 years since I found her, and hope that one day she'll photograph some weddings for us thank you Michelle!

We have had the privilege of meeting and being photographed by Michelle twice. I had been…read morefollowing her company's Instagram account because I love the style and lighting of her photos and when I found out she was offering indoor Christmas mini sessions, I reached out to her. She was so helpful in answering my questions, as we were new to getting professional photographs taken of us since our wedding earlier that year and we wanted to incorporate our fur baby in our photos to use as holiday cards. Michelle and her husband Kellan were so patient with us and our fur baby and she captured the best photos of us and of our fur baby!! I loved every single photo! She also took our fall photos this year to celebrate our pup's 10th Birthday and we added a new fur baby to the family. She was so thoughtful and brought doggie treats for the birthday girl and also our new pup. Flipping through her blog and Instagram account, you can see that not only is she really good at capturing moments in weddings, but she is also a wonderful lifestyle photographer and takes beautiful photos of families and children. Thank you Michelle giving us the best gift - beautiful photos of our family. You have the kindest heart!

If you're looking to shop at the Maven Black line at Shineon I wouldnt recommend it. Made an…read moreappointment a month out online, was getting serval which seemed like automated messaging on what to prepare for my shoot and what not, I disregarded the messages until the day before my appointment I wanted to call and make sure that Im only coming to shop and not shoot! I just didn't want to waste her time if she is thinking shes doing a shoot which was not the case. So I called left a VM no answer or callback. So the next day I proceeded to go 45 minutes into downtown houston, waiting around the lofts for about 10 minutes called her multiple times and got forwarded and never answered the door to her studio. One of my Other friends who had shown me this boutique had known her personally and reached out, ONLY THEN DID SHE DECIDE to text me some message on how MY appointment got cancelled and if I wanted to reschedule. I think its completely unprofessional to cancel an appointment for a someone and not let them know and just leave them in the dust. if this is how she is even for shopping I cant imagine how unprofessional she is in her other endeavors.

My shoot with ShineOn Boudoir in downtown Houston was the first professional boudoir photoshoot…read moreI've ever booked, and I was very nervous for weeks leading up to it. I was not in a very body-positive mindset the evening before and even walking into the studio the day of, but that quickly changed as I talked with Julia and her team. My nerves calmed when Laura started on my makeup, and Kendall handed me a glass of champagne. Leading up to the photoshoot, I received several emails with information regarding their downtown warehouse loft location right across from Minute Made Park and parking. They also included how to best prepare for the shoot--from what to wear, skincare suggestions, and where to buy high-quality lingerie if I didn't already have some. The email sent the day before let me know the timeline and everything that would take place that day. Their excellent communication certainly helped me relax before the big day! Laura did a beautiful job on my makeup. I typically wear very natural and light makeup, and it was fun to see the drama she added, so my makeup would stand out for the shoot! I still looked like myself, which was important to me. While Laura did my makeup, Kendall went through the several outfits I had packed and my jewelry to pick out the shoot styles. She and Julia decided to put me in a few pieces from Julia's lingerie line, and they were absolutely stunning! It was wonderful to hand over the final decision making to their team of professionals and relax. Once my hair and makeup were done, I got to see the outfits that had been styled for me, and we started the shoot. Julia demonstrated and talked me through exactly what poses I'd be doing for each shot. She kept saying "gorgeous" or "perfect" with every shot, and it definitely boosted my confidence. By the end of the shoot, we had several stunning photos to choose from, and we sat together to whittle down the choices. This was the most challenging part of the experience, and I was stunned to see myself on the screen. Was that really me? The lighting was stunning. The curves and angles were so feminine and breathtaking. She and her team had managed to bring out the goddess in me, and I couldn't have felt more confident leaving the studio. I will be recommending ShineOn Boudoir to all of my friends. Men and women alike! They also shoot couples, which could be such a fun gift for a birthday or holiday. I'm certainly hoping my upcoming birthday involves a gift certificate so I can snag more of the photos I had to weed out from this shoot! Highly recommend!

You could tell she puts a lot of effort into personalizing the photoshoot to what you want! The day of the photoshoot was a lot of fun, and she made me feel really comfortable taking pictures all around Houston. She was the perfect mixture of professional while being relaxed as well! I just got my photos back and I LOVE THEM!! They are absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I have been in photoshoots before and never really loved the photos. I'm pretty picky with pictures of myself but you can tell she really, really puts in SO MUCH EFFORT into taking the pictures, and editing them as well. I highly, highly recommend taking senior pics with Olivia, I'm excited to keep these pictures forever :')
