From the moment I arrived, I felt super comfortable. Allison has created such a positive and welcoming environment that any nerves I had instantly vanished. I didn't really know how to pose at all, but that didn't matter--she directed me perfectly and told me exactly what to do. She is the ultimate hype-woman! She was constantly encouraging and complimenting me throughout the session, which really boosted my confidence even more. Another huge plus was her closet collection. It was so abundant that I actually felt a bit overwhelmed at first! Allison stepped in and guided me through the clothing, providing recommendations that perfectly suited my preference and body type. When she shared the proofs with me, I was absolutely blown away by how good they looked. I had such a wonderful experience that I would absolutely book with her again!

From the beginning, Lisa was so amazing. She responded promptly to my inquiries via email and was able to schedule a session based off of my work schedule. She followed up with me before the session, making sure to answer any and all of my questions and also providing me with some ideas. During my session, she allowed me to bring my close friend so I would feel more comfortable. They did my hair and makeup amazing and it was really nice getting to talk with Lisa and getting to know each other before starting the session. During the session, she made me feel like a model. She coached me through all my poses and had me laughing and smiling. It was such a great time and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who has been wanting to try this time of photo shoot. After the session, Lisa followed up with me within a week with the final photos. I ended up ordering the little black book and she arranged my photos perfectly for the final print. Not only does she provide more than fair prices, she just makes you feel so beautiful and confident. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Thank you Lisa!!!

I have been wanting to do something like this for ages- but I always told myself it would have to wait until I made it to my goal weight. Before I even made it to the studio I was given plenty of reading material via e-mail to get me prepared for the big day- I had set up to be a plus-size model in the studio to get outside of my comfort zone and reconnect with myself. I was still a goo 20 lbs from the goal weight I was trying to achieve (though 50 lbs is still a good # when doing it the hard way) Olin greeted me and made me feel beyond comfortable and human again before I made it to make up! We talked bout the emotional things I had going on, which Olin was very understanding and shared some of her experiences that made me feel that much more comfortable MAKE UP: was included with the modeling. Jacqueline I think was the name of the make up artist and she gave me a nice nude smoke look something natural with subtle eyelashes which was outside of my dramatic make up look which is norm. HAIR: I came with my hair done, and did it in my bathroom PHOTOGRAPHER MEET: Olin explained that she was not going to be performing my photos but Emily would be to expander her portfolio. Emily came in, also going through a rough time and we were easily connected from the get. Emily asked me questions about my personal style an personality as to achieve this in the photos. OUTFITS: I arrived with a few articles for use including some props from home. I was not the most confident in my options, Emily took me to the closet in the studio where we collectively found a selection of outfits. I was surprised with each one and how comfortable I was in them, and even more so as the photos went on THE SHOOT ITSELF: With multiple costume changes, positions and sets (all in the same room)- we started off with working on a few things that were common for the shoot: "pop that booty" and "toes pointed" to name a few. Emily was great with her approach and especially in reading when I may have felt uncomfortable she would continue with positive reinforcement which you can tell was sincere. By the end of it I was feeling comfortable and so happy that I finally made the plunge and did these photos regardless of the size and not being at my goal weight. THE REVEAL: Before I left I got to schedule my reveal date to see all the photos. I signed allowing them to share the sneak peeks and use my photos. I scheduled for 8/11/2022 and cannot wait to see the end result. At that time I can purchase if I would like PURCHASING: they do offer a payment plan SNEAK PEEK: I saw the first sneak peek via instagram and fell in love immediately. Something I was going to wait to share with my love interest I sent him the screenshot immediately and he loved it. I finally admitted to doing the shoot to him. The second one was posted in the private group on FB- wholly hotness I was impressed. It was like all the insecurities I had about my body were seen in a different light. My man and I cannot wait to see the finished product in a few days. Why wait? The time is now! Thank you Jaqueline, Emily and of course the wonderful Olin for an amazing day in the studio and reminding me I am an incredible force and my body is actually very amazing.

I decided to toss out any insecurities I felt about my body (even if it's just for a day!) and celebrate the fact that I will never be 31 ever again, and when I'm 60 or 70 years old, I want to look back and be like wow! That's me at 31 :) I saw a few boudoir portraits Melissa did of a mutual friend, and I knew I wanted to hire Melissa! She offered a package then that included makeup/hair and photos, but I opted out of makeup/hair because I wanted to do my own, and trusted that Melissa will tell me if I need to fix my hair or touch-up my makeup during the shoot since she's also a brilliant makeup/hair artist. Melissa asked me some questions before our shoot, and I sent over a few inspiration images, a few of my favorite photographs by Patrick Demarchelier of Cara Delaveigne, some other favorites by Vincent Peters, and other inspiration that included Lana Del Rey, and black and white photos of Namie Amuro. I had booked a hotel suite for the shoot, but since all the layouts were different, we tried to do as many of my favorites from my mood board as time permitted! Melissa guided me every step of the way, and allowed me to get as comfortable as I possibly could be! Posing was a lot harder than I expected (mad props to professional models and actresses who make it look so easy!) Melissa nailed it with what I wanted to achieve! Most importantly, I had a lot of fun planning for it, buying the outfits I wanted to wear, and then putting it all together with Melissa. I never shared my photos except for a cropped out portrait that I used as a headshot, because these photos were mainly for myself, to document, to feel empowered in my own skin, to challenge my own boundaries. I felt beautiful, I felt sexy, I felt connected to my divine femininity and empowered. I recently looked through the photos again, which prompted me to write Melissa a glowing (albeit belated!) review for her boudoir portrait work! I highly recommend Melissa for her portrait services!

My days are filled with spit up and school projects and "Moooooom." I love all of it and them more than anything, but in that I've mostly lost the independent woman I was before giving birth. What Melissa created for me was time and space to reconnect with myself. She covered every little detail from helping me prepare for our shoot, to bringing my favorite music to put me at ease and doing my hair and makeup beautifully. I can't thank her enough for the time she invested in my shoot to help me feel like a woman, and not just a mom. When I look at the final photographs she captured I see myself again and that is worth more than anything to me.
