I had no idea what to get my husband for our 10th anniversary. About a year ago I began researching…read moreboudoir photography. I knew he'd never think I'd do something like this. I finally committed to using Lighthouse Boudoir and I would highly recommend Sontera to anyone! My biggest fear when committing to this was that I would get my pictures back and not like them. After months and months and months of researching and looking at other pictures online on various websites, I felt like my pictures would never live up to what I had seen others look like in front of the camera. Boy was I wrong!!! I was more nervous on reveal day of the proofs than I was in front of the camera, but Sontera delivered the most amazing and beautiful pictures I had ever seen of myself! My favorite part of the shoot was the fact that I was one-on-one with Sontera and there was never a moment of awkwardness. Yes, my sultry face attempts were awkward, but even through that we laughed it off and she managed to capture my expressions at just the right moments. When looking into doing a boudoir shoot, I initially thought I'd be in a studio or place of business but I loved the fact that this shoot was in Sontera's home studio. It gave a sense of comfort to the entire experience.

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!

From the moment I arrived I felt super comfortable- don't get me wrong I was nervous!! We went through the outfit choices and he also picked a few pieces from the closet that were just stunning!!! He asked about my music taste and catered to them, the hair and makeup experience was fantastic ( we went for a soft Hollywood glam look and holy smokes did I feel beautiful!). Once I was ready to go, he talked me through different posing techniques and was super encouraging during the whole shoot. I by no means consider myself the "sexy type"- after I looked at a couple of my shots I seriously had to do double takes before it registered it was me!!! Get ready to laugh a lot ( the dad jokes are real and hilarious). Post shoot I've gotten a few follow up emails letting me know where are at with the photos. Can not wait for my viewing and purchasing appointment!!! Folks, I couldn't recommend Corey enough, you'll love the whole experience!! Book your appointments NOW, you won't regret it.

I was so busy with the wedding planning that I completely forgot to look into taking boudoir pictures. I had some girl friends take the pictures with a different photographer & thought the idea was pretty cool. I had never actually looked into it because I didn't know where to start or even look. My friend's daughter took her engagement pictures with Sevier photography. When I saw her pictures, I was convinced she was the photographer for me. I really wanted to take the boudoir pictures but I was a little hesitant because I didn't feel 100% comfortable with body. After I spoke to Sadie, I got really motivated & excited! I'm not going to lie I was still a little nervous but just speaking to her I knew it was going to be an awesome experience. And that's exactly how my session turned out!! I had so much fun & felt super comfortable with Sadie. She's very professional & you can tell she loves what she does. I can not say enough good things about her & the amazing work she does. My pictures came out HOT, SEXY, BEAUTIFUL etc. lol My husband was very happy with his wedding gift, a book of the boudoir pictures & a really nice canvas picture. I highly recommend her to anyone whose looking into a boudoir session or even regular photo session for any occasion. You will not regret it! Thank you Sadie for making me look & feel great!! I'm looking forward to taking pictures again soon!! :)
