My fiance and I hired Alexandre for our engagement photographs. From our initial contact to the day…read moreof shooting he was nothing but courteous, communicative, and responsive to us and our requests. We had an initial conversation to discuss our ideas about the shoot and he took the time to listen and learn about what was important to us. This was entirely evidenced by the final product. His pictures are very "us" and turned out beyond our expectations in perfectly capturing our life and relationship. The day of, we had a great time. Alexandre made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. He was a perfect balance of hands off, but also supportive in providing feedback and suggestions for shots. We really appreciated this about his style of photography. He was extremely prepared and had obviously done alot of pre-work in researching good locations around the area we had suggested. He took the time to get a wide variety and strong quality of pictures. And we really appreciated not feeling rushed or held to a strict time-constraint. The whole process felt very organic. I cannot recommend Alexandre more highly. He is a true artist and we are very thankful for his time, consideration, and professionalism!

I would love to give them 5 stars all around, but unfortunately the business side of things was not so smooth. I recommend reading your contract carefully and making a copy of it.

I found Liz at the Rochester Unveiled bridal show back in January. I was toying around with the…read moreidea of boudoir photos as a wedding gift for my fiancé but I was on the fence until I met Liz. She is easy to talk to and has a professional yet fun demeanor which helped me decide to book my mini session with her. My wedding is in September so I had my boudoir photo shoot with Liz just a few weeks ago. First of all, Liz's guide of what to expect and lingerie and accessory tips were a godsend! I was really at a loss of what to buy that would be best for my curvy body and would make me feel beautiful and comfortable. I would have never thought to wear a bodysuit but Liz recommended them for curvy women and she was absolutely right! My bodysuit accentuated my curves and looked killer in the photos. Her recommendation of cheeky/Brazilian underwear instead of thongs was also really flattering to my figure, I would have never gone with those as I am used to wearing thongs. My other outfits included a fitted teddy, bridal bra and panty set, and of course a corset with thigh highs and garters for a more risqué look. DSW has a lot of great shoes for boudoir in their clearance section to keep it more affordable. I used earrings and bracelets I already had but after looking at my photos afterward it's not noticeable or really needed. If I were to do it again, I think some beautiful bracelets would be the only thing I would focus on. Manicures, pedicures, waxing, and tanning are all nice touches but not needed. These things might make you feel more beautiful but to keep it more affordable I would skip. I highly recommend adding the extra hour to your session. I am so happy I did this because I was able to add a few more outfits and really ease in and get comfortable with taking the photos. I had tons of great photos to choose from at the end! I was hoping for just a few decent ones but I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful they all turned out and I attribute that to having more time with Liz to get comfortable and try out different poses and facial expressions. Makeup was included in the package. I added hair for $25 since I'm not good at that. Lindsay was amazing and gave me beautiful wavy curls and sexy makeup plus she was super sweet and fun to talk to and really puts time into making sure everything is perfect. Starting with hair and makeup plus a delicious mimosa really helped me relax before the photo shoot. Did I mention how great the studio is?!? Modern, sleek decor with a great music system all contributed to the mood of the shoot. During the shoot and when viewing the final results, I was really impressed at Liz's great eye for capturing gorgeous shots. She is imaginative and a pro that really is a specialist in this type of photography. I'm still feeling beautiful and more confident weeks after the shoot. I just thought of this as a neat gift for my fiancé but I got much more of it than I could have imagined. I couldn't have asked for a better boudoir experience!!!!
