I'd been considering doing a boudoir shoot for a while, and a special from Silk & Lace made me…read morefinally take the plunge. I'm so glad I did. My overall experience was amazing. I appreciated that there was a lot of communication and support leading up to shoot because I had never done anything like this before and was pretty apprehensive. Additionally, the actual shoot was phenomenal, and everyone I worked with was incredibly welcoming and put all of my nerves at ease. Amanda (the photography assistant) was the first person I encountered. She was so helpful and made sure I was comfortable. I also found it impressive how easily she anticipated the needs of my photographer, Jenny, throughout the shoot. They worked incredibly well together. My hair and makeup artist, Joie, was so fun and had great energy. It really was the best way to kick off the shoot, and I felt so good after she finished up with everything. Finally, Jenny was an incredible photographer. I was so worried about posing and my pictures looking too staged, but she really took the time to show each pose first (with very simple instructions to follow), which was very helpful. I never felt rushed, and she got some really amazing shots that I thought looked natural. As a whole, they all hyped me up and made me feel so confident and sexy. Truly a great experience. Even my reveal session was amazing from a customer lens. Cynthia showed me my pictures and was so patient while I tried to narrow them down. She gave helpful advice when asked, and I left feeling like I had a solid set of pictures picked out (though it was hard to narrow them down because there were so many great ones). I cannot recommend Silk & Lace enough!

I responded to an ad on Facebook for a discounted shoot, hoping to use the images as a gift for my…read morehusband. I spoke with an associate on the phone, she walked me through the process, told me pricing started at $950 and I wrongly assumed that much money would pay for digital images. After I paid a $200 non refundable deposit, I saw a price sheet that spelled out the specifics for keeping my images. Very expensive and very few digital images are included unless you spend thousands of dollars. I couldn't justify the cost of the experience for only keeping one print so I cancelled. If you're looking to do this only for the experience, I bet it would be amazing but I was hoping to keep the images as a gift.

Let me start by saying this was the best, scariest thing I have ever done. Before our wedding, my…read morehusband and I were discussing what we wanted to exchange during our "first look" at the wedding, and my husband was adamant that he wanted sexy photos. I, on the other hand, would rather drop dead than get dressed down in front of a camera. However, it was our wedding after all and we have been together over 11 years so I thought he deserves something special. So, with a big grain of salt and a whole lot of champagne, I showed up to my appointment at the Line Hotel. I have been to the hotel before, but in general, if you have the chance to book a shoot at this location I really would recommend it. It gives you a whole separate swanky feel. I went up to the room and Lauren was up there with the hair and make up artists. In general it was an absolute vibe. The girls were so friendly and pumped to make me feel beautiful, even though I was incredibly nervous. They asked me what I wanted done with my hair, and I indicated that old Hollywood waves for a more pinup girl look was what I think my husband would want most. They absolutely smashed it. After the hair and make up artist left, it was just Lauren and I. Queue the panic? NOPE! While I am a more curvy girl, Laura instructed me to strike several poses that felt very silly but ended up coming out incredible! She somehow captures a romantic but edgy feel, and there's nothing quite like the lighting that she uses to accentuate the absolute best of us. Her positive attitude, words of affirmation, and general chill attitude made the whole thing feel like I was a movie star. She never pushed me to do any more or less than I wanted to, never made me feel rushed, and helped decide which lingerie pieces would look the best. She's definitely worth the price and I cannot tell you how important it is to ORDER PRINTS. I'm admittedly not someone who orders them for other family or couple shoots I've done, but something about the way she put together the looks made it seem like the art it truly is. I also want to compliment Lauren prompt email responses, willingness to explain costs, and work with me to ensure I got exactly the product I wanted. Not only that, I put her in a bit of a time crunch because of the wedding I timing for the prints. Not only did she send me the photos in a fraction of the time she told me it would take, she also put together the album in 24 hours. No corrections needed- she's an absolute pro. I highly recommend everyone go to her, regardless of their own body image issues, fears, or trepidation. She truly is an artist and I cannot tell you enough good things about her and the experience. When the big day came and I was able to surprise my now-husband, I promise his jaw dropped. Even the day after the wedding, he was more interested in these shots than the ones our friends and family sent from the big day- HA! These photos are something my husband and I will always cherish. Thank you for helping me get over my fear and for making me feel beautiful, Lauren!

From scheduling the session, answering all my annoying questions, the actual day of the shoot, delivering my images 2 weeks earlier than expected (!), to hand delivering the most gorgeous printed album everything was just perfect. Lauren is an absolute dream to work with and her work shows how much she cares about women and showcasing their bodies. Book with Lauren now!! It doesn't matter where you are in your life (I did it as a single 31 year old) it's an absolute joy to celebrate yourself. You won't be disappointed!!

10+ OMG, I could not wait to post a review for my recent boudoir photo shoot and to tell you all…read moreabout it! What an amazing experience that was! My girlfriends and I wanted an alternative to girl's night out and we decided to gift ourselves something out of the ordinary. We are all in different paths in our lives, but we all wanted to have fun creating new memories celebrating the women we are today. Sandra's experience behind the lens was such an asset as she was able to guide us thru poses that really complemented the contour of our bodies. Not only did she introduce us to a plethora of different concepts, she also listened to our ideas and really made them come to life. Everything from the hotel to the music to the complimentary champagne and strawberries was just perfect. In fact, we had so much fun that we are already planning our anniversary shoot next year! And the shots are INCREDIBLE! It is so hard to choose, we want them ALL! I could not recommend Sandra more! All you girlfriends out there, this is your moment to make it happen. We used to talk about wanting to do this, but now we cannot believe we waited so long. And trust me, who does not want a revenge body photo? Not this girl!

I will keep this simple and stick to the most recent points of interest for anyone considering using this company for their photography or videography needs. After negotiating an agreement for Paul to both record Video and Photograph an event in Washington DC, Paul dropped and broke his camera. He has held all photographs and video (it's been over a month now), demanding that we pay for his repairs. He sold packages at our event, and has with held these as well, deciding instead to attempt to illicit pressure from our clients to get us to pay for his carelessness in order to have what they have purchased released. Paul has threatened me for posting a negative review. However I do feel that people should be warned prior to using someone like this. There are so many quality photgraphers in the DMV that no one should have to subject themselves to someone who lacks integrity.

Every single time I have had so much fun and loved every single photo. Experience as vendor working with Helen: she is very easy to communicate with and quick with responses which is VERY important to me. Helen is very clear on expressing the direction of the shoot which makes it easy for me as a makeup artist to understand what I should be doing makeup wise with the model. Helen has good time management and is such a sweet person to work with, I've had the chance to view her with her clients and I notice how comfortable they feel shooting with her because of the energy she brings to the shoot. Experience In front of the camera: okay so let me start by saying I can take selfies all day but when it comes to being in front of the camera I freeze up and usually feel so awkward. I had a completely different experience with Helen, she allowed me to get comfortable and guided throughout the shoot while still allowing myself to do what felt comfortable to me. Helen's style of shooting is so beautiful, I was completely in love with the photos that I got from that shoot. Helen as an artist: she is able to shoot a variety of styles which I absolutely LOOOOVE anything from bridal/maternity to spooky Halloween shoots. She brings elegance to her images and would highly recommend Helen if you're looking to hire a photographer or are looking for one to team up with.
