I am a potential customer that they lost due to a failure in scheduling and their bait-and-switch…read morepricing model that they advertised. I have done professional boudoir shoots and other professional shoots before. I happily pay for professional photographer multiple times a year for myself and my pets. I appreciate the work that a photographer does and I think their work has value. I state this to emphasize the fact that I'm not some rando pissed off at not getting a free service and trying to squeeze out a bargain. I got an ad for Reclamation Boudoir through Instagram advertising a "$99 boudoir shoot." Sounds amazing, and tbh they had been on my short list for a local boudoir photographer. When I saw the deal, I thought it was too good to be true, but took it as an opportunity to inquire further. I was scheduled for a late (8:30 PM) consult call. I got a confirmation text to which I confirmed one hour before. She never called and never contacted me back to explain why. I messaged her a few times to ask for an update. Her assistant texted me back the day after or so saying the photographer had to reschedule. Fine. We rescheduled. She never called. I also found out that the photographer would "discuss pricing and packages," which was surprising to me since it had been advertised as a $99 fee. If it had been more than that and the fee was something else, it would have been fine it the fact had been explicitly stated, but not after I had already inquired about it. Again, I am willing and I have paid upwards of $750 for a professional photoshoot before. I believe people should be compensated fairly for services provided. My reasoning for the rating was due to the poor customer service and the bait and switch pricing model. Just be honest about it. Why hide your prices if you're willing to stand up for the quality you provide?

I just finished my photoshoot with Allison and I am still blown away by the entire experience. I…read morehad been wanting to do a boudoir shoot for years, but was nervous and apprehensive to go through with it. After talking on the phone with Allison, I knew I found the right person to make me feel comfortable in front of the camera. We connected right away and she gave me ideas of what to wear as well. Allison is so down to Earth and real, she made me feel comfortable to get out of my head and enjoy the process. She did an amazing job of giving me direction on how to pose to flatter my body and feel sexy. When it came time to review the pictures, I was shocked. I could not believe the images and how beautiful they were! I loved them all! If you are on the fence about doing a boudoir shoot, do it! The entire experience is empowering and exciting, and you will LOVE the final product.

I would give Karen 10 stars if I could!…read more I scheduled an empowerment photoshoot with Karen after a long and exhausting 4 years, that included breast cancer treatment.

Boudoir photos have been something that I always wanted to do but NEVER thought I would have the…read morecourage to do. After finding Karen on Facebook, I finally decided it was time to make the jump. She had created a Facebook environment that was friendly, supportive and inclusive so I knew she was the one I needed to do my photos. From initial conversation to the day of the shoot Karen was friendly, informative and communicative. She gave me all my options and walked me through my choices. Then on the day of the shoot, I had so much fun. I was never uncomfortable or nervous. Hair and make up did their magic. All three ladies made me feel comfortable and beautiful. I had previously told Karen that I had chronic RBF, wasn't fan of my butt, and couldn't pose. She promised she had tricks for all of those concerns. And oh boy, did she deliver. The pictures she captured were absolutely gorgeous. She patiently helped me go through over a hundred amazing photos to select my favorites. I am so thankful for this experience and I really don't think it would have been nearly as awesome if I hadn't chosen Karen to do these pictures. Worth the 3 hour drive for sure! Thank you!!!

Beate is such an amazingly talented photographer. She made me feel comfortable from the moment I…read morewalked through the doors (and I was late so already felt bad). She was accommodating and didn't make me feel rushed or like I was inconveniencing her (which being late can do sometimes!) Virginia took her time doing my makeup and was a bit of a perfectionist (NOT a bad thing at all - she blended and modified my foundation and eyeshadow until it was PERFECT!) On to the photoshoot - Beate provided advice and her opinion regarding outfits. I brought a few outfit changes and she had suggestions as to which backgrounds and lighting would be best for each outfit change. At no time did I ever feel uncomfortable (even being scantily clad) and after the fact when she showed me some of the unedited in camera images I FELL IN LOVE! Her technique and knowledge of what poses and angles are flattering may FEEL awkward (neck out, arm out, butt out, back arched, etc.) BUT the images came out looking natural and incredibly appealing! I will be recommending Beate to ALL of my friends. In fact this is an excellent gift for a husband/wife/significant other, BUT even moreso - for yourself. This is a perfect way to feel empowered and insanely sexy!

As soon as I walked in the door Beate made me feel totally welcome and comfortable. We headed upstairs and Virginia started on my makeup. She was so sweet and I LOVED my makeup! She gave me the perfect smoky eye and blended my foundation perfectly! She was magnificent. When we were done with hair and makeup, Beate took me to a room so I could change. She gives you plenty of time and privacy while getting dressed. When I was ready we started the photo shoot. She really knows how to position you so you look your best. She was so encouraging the entire time and really made me feel very comfortable. After the first outfit, she showed me some of the photos on the back of her camera and they already looked amazing and they weren't even edited yet! Beats definitely has an eye for photography and does an amazing job. I can't wait to give this to my fiancé for our wedding!!

I came to her with a sort of an out-there idea for portrait shots and she helped me realize a lot of the ideas I had as well as inputting some great ideas of her own that turned out great for the shoot.

Definitely going to recommend her to anyone needing portraits, headshots, or any type photo editing work from now on.

Instead of producing a stock set/style that makes you look like everyone else who's gone to that photographer, Shilo was interested in what I personally wanted to capture. Many will shoot it and touch it up the way they want, and it can be rough spending a heap of money to walk away feeling the shots don't capture you at all. Working with Shilo, I came away with four excellent shots that were exactly what I felt my profile needed at this time, as I go about updating my headshots and my 'looks'. I highly recommend her. The results speak for themselves.

She did an excellent job on my hair and make-up and much like other reviews, definitely worth spending the extra $30 on eyelashes - I have thick natural lashes but with the lighting you really do need that extra Oomph. I appreciated her helping me lay out my outfits and choose (I brought SO many options that I needed the help to narrow down!).

She was witty, fun, kept me informed and included me in the process instead of just telling me what to do, she allowed me to play a little and to suggest ideas, too. Loved her energy and passion for her work. She is a talented photographer and the results were so beyond what I had expected... WOW. She made me feel and look great! When I came back to view my photos, Hannah was incredibly professional but kind and warm. She was patient with me as I sifted through ALL of my photos and narrowed them down to the final few... it is soooo hard to decide! The person who edits and re-touches is a miracle worker. Love LOVE the final product. Thank you deBoudoir!! xoxo

So, day of the shoot...I bring in clothes and photo ideas because I am type A and I know what I want in my head so I came prepared or so I thought. Akilah did my hair and make up. She's as awesome. Very nice to chat with and made you feel comfortable from the very welcoming in. The hair and make up turned out perfect. My hair was beautifully curled and it turned out incredible in the photos as did my eye make up. Somehow you managed to make it look like I had false lashes on which I didn't. So, thank you for that! Next I had my pics taken with Kimber. Kimber has a way about her that makes you feel comfortable, beautiful, sexy and alive. Not only will she direct you during the shoot but she will also help with outfit suggestions, and help you work in your suggestions you came with. And she will reassure you that awesome shots were taken during that outfit gallery you had on. Flash forward weeks later when I came downtown to view the photos. First, they normally want you to view them a couple days later but they were so accommodating with me when I had to make the appointment so far in advance. I arrived late and they displayed no attitude whatsoever. I met with Hannah who showed me around, got me a water and helped me review the photos. I am more than picky so we went through these multiple times before I finally settled on my magnificent gallery. Hannah was patient with me and understood my attention to detail I made in each photo. The photos I would be proud to show off. I was so happy with this entire process. They are very clear with you during the appointment setting process to check the website and review all the information. That's your responsibility. Along with any deal you buy, reading the small print is also your responsibility. I am extremely happy with the way this turned out. Thank you to all 3 of you awesome ladies!

What I really appreciate is how Heidi walks you through the whole process. She finds the right balance between giving you tips on what outfits to bring, and letting you choose your own style. Plus she's a very friendly guide during the shoot and even lets you choose what music to play so you can really get in your comfort zone. Heidi knows how to capture you at your best. Even though I have zero modeling experience, I felt both comfortable and confident during the shoot, thanks to her expert advice and knowledge of the perfect photography conditions (lighting, posing, etc). Plus, she lets you choose what music to play during the shoot so you can really get in your comfort zone. You are going to love how the pictures turn out! The last thing I will say is that if you choose to get a physical album, you will be absolutely floored by it. High quality stuff! Thank you Heidi for the incredible experience! It was fun, safe, and I will treasure these photos you took for the rest of my life. Cannot recommend her enough.

Thank you so much Heidi for helping me and my husband see myself in a new light and explore a whole new side of me!
