When he opened it, tears sprang into his eyes and he said something like these pictures are so beautiful and I hope you can now see how I see you. Wow. As everyone else has said, this was an extremely empowering experience. I recently gained some weight and have been feeling bit down about my body. Melissa makes you feel so special and SEXY! Natalie did my hair, which was perfect. My make-up was beautiful and I'm so sorry I've forgotten her name! I opted to do a massage afterwards and that was also amazing--I don't remember her name either and I feel terrible about that! If you are thinking about doing a boudoir shoot and are on the fence, just do it! I felt so sexy and the pictures were so beautiful (I seriously didn't know my butt could look like that!). And the response from my husband just sealed the deal ("I'm going to need some time alone with these").

Don't have the perfect body? Seriously, don't sweat it! I have been fortunate enough to work with Molly not once but twice so far, even though I've struggled with body image and self esteem my whole life. Each time, I have left feeling like an empowered badass. Zealous Stills studio is a gorgeous, moody bedroom with the most beautiful lighting to make your skin look absolutely creamy and dreamy straight out of the camera.

You can doll yourself up or hire the in-house stylist to create the perfect hair and makeup look. You can also bring several outfits & consult with Molly to build your perfect look, or you can also borrow something from her beautiful and well curated lingerie closet. She has seriously thought of everything! Zealous Stills consistently goes above and beyond to create a safe and comfortable space so that you can fall in love with yourself all over again.

I wanted to do something a little outside of my comfort zone so I went ahead and booked -- I was a little nervous before hand but Liz & Rosie made me feel so at ease right away, from the moment I stepped inside the door. By the time we started shooting it felt like I was just hanging out with an old friend -- before i knew it we were looking through dozens of STUNNING photos! More important than the photos, though, was that I left feeling better about myself than I have in months and that feeling has been carrying on for days already. Truly cannot thank these ladies enough.

Turns out, it was an absolute gift to ME (also blew his mind). I left feeling more beautiful & empowered than ever, & that was BEFORE I saw the pictures. Cara is not only an exceptionally talented artist, but an exceptional person & brought out a side of self love in me I didn't know existed. Then, I got the pictures. Shy me turned into a supermodel (minimal retouching needed) Seriously, I could not believe it was me. I cherish the photos, & I went back two more times for pregnancy shoots which were just as amazing as the boudoir. Book this experience, whether introvert/extrovert, single, dating, engaged, pregnant, no matter your age, it is worth every single penny & more.

Her rave about creating her own book with Cara and how beautiful it made her feel inspired me to inquire myself. Cara carried me gently through the process of choosing the right concept and look for my book as a gift for my husband. But it was also a gift for myself. She assisted me with choosing the lingerie that suited me best and provided hair/make-up professionals. I felt so beautiful during our shoot, which was conducted so professionally. I always felt comfortable and in control of how I wanted to be presented. My husband was completely thrilled with the results and treasures the photos along with the idea that I stepped out of my comfort zone to produce something we will have forever. I can't recommend Cara and her skills and talents highly enough!
