About six months ago I got it in my head I wanted to do a boudoir shoot. I am in no way a classic…read morecandidate - 57 years old, 6 feet tall, boy body, nobody's idea of a pinup girl. Did my google searching for photographers in Houston and contacted about a dozen. Perhaps half responded they weren't available, and half didn't respond. However, one adorable young lady in Austin (3 hours away), Julia Vie of Vivian's Muse, said she was very excited about shooting me! We exchanged several emails about the process and logistics and had an extended phone chat. My trepedation morphed into excitement and anticipation. Let's do this!! The big day! Julia shot perhaps 400 photos in an hour or so, all the while offering instruction, incredible encouragement and showing me what she had captured in her viewfinder. All with a monster camera and first class professional lighting. We shot on the couch, on the stairway, in the window, on the bed. Woah, so exhilerating! Nervousness was gone and my inner goddess had taken over. I'm not one for exaggeration but this was truly one of the best hours of my life. Back the next morning to review and select proofs. Oh no, her computer jammed up, wasn't happening. No problem in the digital age. We had more girly chat, comparing notes on all of the fun we had had the preceding day. A few days later the proofs arrived via email. I was blown away. OH MY! That cannot possibly be me. But...it is! Being a goddess, even for a short while, really gets in your head. And stays there. Who would have thought the idea of having a little fun by trying something different would turn into a life changing event? Thank you so very, very much Julia! And, girls, if you have any lingering doubts about treating yourself to this experience, all I can say is do not delay, call Julia today! Hugs, Michelle

She did a great job easing my nerves, since I'm her Aunt, but we ended up with some stunning pictures to mark my 50 year old milestone. I recommend getting your pictures done in all stages of your life from your 20's on up so you have a professional collection of yourself to reflect upon. Don't put it off another day, book with Julia and see just how beautiful you are!

The confidence you'll gain being glammed up and letting your inner sex kitten out, will stick with you forever. Natalie did an amazing job posing and knowing exactly how to put me in positions that would enhance my figure and make me feel like the sexy vixen I am. As an athlete I wasn't in the best shape and I was frustrated by that, but her coaching and cheering me along made me forget all about the body parts I could complain about. Seeing the final product I couldn't believe it, unbelievable!! Thrilled I finally booked my shoot.

I scheduled my appointment with Betty Blue Boudoir as a wedding gift for my soon to be husband. I…read morewas extremely nervous and worried. I went to the appointment not knowing what to expect and what I got out of the experience was absolutely amazing! I arrived early to have my hair and makeup done, and it was well worth it to have in the package. Amy talked me through the shoot, helped me with outfits and poses. This started out as a gift for my husband but quickly turned out to be more for me then him. It was the I've ever done as a gift. I felt so comfortable, more comfortable in my skin then I have in a long time. I will refer anyone and EVERYONE to Betty Blue Boudoir! WELL WORTH IT AND AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!

Jessica Roop was an incredible stylist for my sisters wedding this weekend. She was extremely…read moretalented but also quick and efficient with her timeline. We were actually ahead of the schedule for the photographer because she was so great and worked hard to keep everyone on track. She was so kind and professional to all of the wedding party. My sisters makeup was absolutely stunning and we all received compliments throughout the night on our hairstyles! I highly recommend Jessica Roop for your big day or special event!

After searching for a stylist that was not outrageously priced, yet was highly reviewed, I hired…read moreJessica. Her prices were slightly less than some stylists I contacted. During the trial she did two hair styles, neither was 100% what I wanted, but she planned to do things from each of the styles. She did my airbrush make-up, with false lashes, during the trial as well. After doing a trial with Jessica, I had concerns that my hair would not be exactly like I would want it, which was a true vintage style with 2-3 large pin curls and a high/big swooped bang (think vintage hollywood), but after spending $205 on the trial ($100 hair, $105 make-up), I hesitated to book another stylist. The day of my wedding Jessica arrived on time and did hair and make-up for my mom, sister, younger cousin and myself. Everyone's hair and make-up turned out well and Jessica did do touch-ups prior to leaving. My hairstyle turned out very well and I had many compliments on the vintage look. Jessica nailed it! She did however, leave before helping us place my veil into my style. My mom and sister handled it, but we were disappointed she left without helping; she did practice with it during the trial. We have received our wedding photos and video and I was disappointed to see that in photos taken 1 hour after my hair style was completed, the curl/bobbypin was falling out and sticking off my head at a 90 degree angle (we were not running, in the wind, etc.). This may be minor, but when I paid over $200 for a stylist, I'd expect my hair to hold for that time. Thankfully my mom and sister were able to fix it when I arrived to the ceremony site. Several other photos post-ceremony also have hair in the back falling out of the pins, which was very disappointing. The other's hair and make-up held fairly well throughout, but did have a few pins fall out as well. Overall I was happy the day of (which is what mattered), but disappointed after seeing the photos (which is what we have forever).

For years, I've struggled with body insecurity, and at 42, I have noticed unwanted changes that…read morehave only amplified those insecurity feelings. Despite my husband constantly reassuring me of my beauty, I've never believed it myself. This is why I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try to capture what I my eyes could not see. I never imagined I would do a boudoir shoot, but I am so incredibly happy I did. Finding the right photographer was super easy. After a quick Google search for boudoir photographers, came across Jrenee Boudoir's website. From the moment I read Jess's about us page, I knew she was the one. I could tell she would be able to capture the essence of what I was looking for, while making me feel comfortable, and I was absolutely right! The entire planning process was super easy, from booking the appointment to the initial phone call with Jess. She guided me through every step, ensuring I felt prepared and at ease. On the day of the shoot, it felt as though I was having a photoshoot with a long-time friend. I was so comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire session. When I walked out of the studio, I felt so PROUD of myself. My goal was to achieve a casual sexy look, and that is exactly what I got. When I saw the pictures, I was in absolute awe. I was so BEAUTIFUL and SEXY, I could not believe it was ME!! I love, love, love my pictures, the album I received is perfect. When I am 80 years old, I will be looking back at the pictures to remind myself of how HOT I am/was! I genuinely could look at these pictures all day long! I am so glad I had this experience. Thank you Jess!

My photo shoot with Anna was so much fun! I came in with a variety of outfits and accessories and…read moreshe became giddy at the possibilities. She helped to pick out the best outfit combinations. She had a variety of poses that worked great for my body type. She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I can remember how long the shoot was but I wished it could go on for days. When I reviewed the proofs they were beautiful but I felt like a model after the subtle touch ups. She over accomplished my goal of helping me to bring the sexy back. I highly recommend her for anytime you need to boost your confidence and you will have gorgeous pictures to last a lifetime.

Being a "curvy" woman, I was a bit intimidated with the idea. But, Anna made the whole experience…read morefun and the photos are AWESOME! She has a way of emphasizing your attributes and minimizing your flaws (not that I have any, of course...LOL) I would highly recommend her for anyone wanting to "try it out for their first time" or for a Seasoned Sexy Diva! She can do men too! Time to update those FACEBOOK profiles guys! :)

While her pictures are beautiful, her professionalism is lacking. After we agreed on a date and…read moretime to take engagement photos, I received a text message an hour and half before our appointment that she would not be able to make it due to family issues. Considering that I had taken the day off work and had to wake up pretty early since I was doing my own hair and makeup, I was pretty upset about having to push back the photos till later in the day. Ms. Tagle suggested we arrange to try to meet at 4 or 5 in the afternoon. It's SXSW weekend and getting hotter and hotter as the day progresses and she wants to meet downtown during the worst time possible, seriously?!? It didn't help matters that my fiancé had specifically taken the morning off and had to go into work at the time she wanted to reschedule. Thanks to modern technology, I found out through facebook Ms. Tagle had spent the night before at SXSW till early in the morning and had the audacity to post status updates on her whereabouts. In others words, she lied to me on why she wasn't able to make our appointment. I immediately canceled our appointment and requested she refund my deposit. Photographers are a dime a dozen in this town and Ms. Tagle caused me a lot of stress and unneeded anxiety during an already stressful time. Save yourself the trouble and look for a professional and reliable photographer who can make this a joyful experience.

So about 6 years ago, my sister got the guts and determination to open her own photography business…read moreand even though we did a photo shoot when she first started, I can't help but want to share my amazing experience from mid-June. She's always been talented and had an eye for this but OH MY GOODNESS, she's grown to be such an amazing photographer. I kept wondering why she would stop to adjust the curtains, adjust her camera, adjust the lights...we even waited for the clouds to pass by because she mentioned how it would affect my pictures. I was and still am blown away on the entire photo shoot. Oh, before I continue.... Tiffany managed to hire the best of the best when it comes to hair and make-up. Ana and Billy are truly one of a kind and I honestly wanted to bundle them up and take them home with me. Not only did they make me look flawless but the nicest people I've ever met in that line of business. Their technique, their "customer service" was out of this world. I can't wait to be able to hire them again for another event. I've never felt so beautiful. Thank you both! Ok, back to Tiffany Tagle Photography - even though she's my sister, I can honestly say that, that photo shoot was the best photography experience I've ever had in my entire life! When we started, I can't help but share how nervous I was..yes, I was nervous but when the camera started, she took off her "Sister Hat" and it was business. I followed her lead and felt at ease. Ladies - this was the best decision I've ever made. I set the date back in January and never worked harder in my life to look the best I could possibly look with exercising, participating in races and eating healthy. I couldn't wait to give my husband the Book of Me for our anniversary and last week I did and his jaw dropped!!! I have a feeling he's going to send Tiffany on a cruise around the world for the job well done! :) Thank you Tiffany! Thank you so much for a day that I'll never forget. I will always remember this and can't wait to do it again!!!! Love you, sister. Book your session today!!! www.tiffanytaglephotography.com
