I cannot say enough positive words about the talented Lone Morch. Her skill is unmatched and I will be forever grateful that I happened to stumble across her website while wedding planning last year. It is an honor, privilege and pleasure to know her and it breaks my heart knowing she won't be back in the SF Bay Area for the foreseeable future due to the pandemic. Should her prospective clients want to connect with a former client to hear all about her fun, freeing, fabulous process, I encourage Lone to share my contact information. read more

If there were one word I could use to describe my photo session at Lolo's Boudoir, it would be: baptismal. That may be far too dramatic a term but it really sums up my inspiring photo experience with photographer Lone Mrch Schneider. My 34th birthday was approaching and I wanted to replace the standard feelings of gloom about growing older with a more positive experience. Indulging myself with a sexy and revealing boudoir photo session was the best birthday gift I could give to myself. In a serendipitous way I happened upon Lolo's Boudoir website (www.lolosboudoir.com) and instantly knew she was the one. Her photographic style instinctively appealed to me: ethereal but natural, timeless, spontaneous, sensual and revealing yet at times coquettish. I can't claim to be an expert on the art of photography but I have strong opinions on what I like and don't like. So many other photo boudoir websites had revealed to be tacky, campy and very artificial. Lolo's Boudoir has heartfelt style. Before our session I felt a little self conscious and I had warned Lone that I might prove to be one of her more 'curvier' clients and that given the wrong angle I might not be one of her most photogenic! She reassured me through examples from her portfolio she would discover the best I had to give. Lone possesses artistic mindfulness. She kindly encouraged the real me to the surface and helped me uncover the beauty I thought I never possessed. The entire experience was an awakening and rebirth of my sensual spirit. Lone has the magical ability to transform any environment. We had an outdoors photo shoot where she transformed the forest into a starlet's dressing room. Lone's gentle, fun and professional personality allowed me to shed all inhibitions. I spent a cold winter morning frolicking about the forest, playing the role of nymph, drama queen and even bathing beauty as I shed all and luxuriated in the freezing cold stream water. At that moment I felt I had experienced a 'creative baptism' of sorts. Regardless of just whom you have in mind while you're smiling (or smirking, flirting, luring) for while posing for the camera lens; you should always be posing for yourself. Just you. A photographic experience at Lolo's Boudoir is all about you. It's a special time for you to be sensual, carefree, indulgent, sexy and alluring. With a complimentary glass of champagne and a few nibbles of fine chocolate...how could you not be? read more

I worked with Lolo's Boudoir for a boudoir photo album I gave my husband as a wedding present. I wanted a dramatic photo session that didn't look cheesy or raunchy. The product was classy, sexy, and classic photos. I met with Lone for a consultation prior to the shoot. We worked on a date and package that is best for me. Prior to the shoot, she suggested outfits and concepts that would be fun. The photoshoot was so much fun! I felt so comfortable with her and she made me feel at home. I didn't feel silly or corny at all. I was amazed when I saw the photos. They were sooo good. All were in black and white which is why I chose to do my boudoir with her. They were so classy that I didn't feel embarassed to share them with my close friends and co-workers. I highly recommend Lolo's Boudoir. The reason why I knocked the rating down 1 star was that I couldn't keep the digital files without paying extra. She shoots with films so I'm not sure how the photos would be converted to digital files. The other reason for the 4star instead of 5 star is her pricing. However, don't let the price stop you. Eventhough I paid more than I had originally budgeted, the product was WORTH IT!!! I don't regret doing business with her and paying more than I had wanted to. This is a great investment. Lone is soooo talented! read more

Like many other people, I am not always comfortable having my picture taken. So you can only imagine how it could have felt on a cold Friday morning, 32 weeks pregnant with nothing but a sheer robe to cover my voluptious figure. And yet it was a perfectly delightful experience. It was Lone's attitude that made all the difference. She puts you at ease, is kind and caring but she also likes to joke and invites you to try something new. The pictures that I received later were fabulous and will be cherished forever, as I expect this to be my last pregnancy. A few weeks later, I hired Lone for a product-shoot, outdoors this time. It was a fun day in beautiful Sausalito. Lone and I both worked hard that day and she was so dedicated to get the best results. It truly shows on the pictures - they are wonderful. They will be used for advertising on a website and press kit and I have received nothing but very positive responses. I highly recommend hiring Lone - you will be so pleased! read more

I learned about Lolo through Daily Candy. I had recently been looking for a way to mark the moment where I currently am in my life - a time of tremendous transition and soul searching. (The last time I felt a need to do something similar, I got a tattoo). However, this time I wanted to celebrate the moment in an entirely different way. At first I thought, boudoir photos? Hmmm....a little tacky, full of boa feathers and cheesy poses, right? But the Daily Candy blurb was compelling enough for me to look at Lolo's website and I liked what I found. As another reviewer has written: sensual, timeless, natural, coquettish and most importantly, classy while revealing the true essence of the subject (or so it seemed). I knew instantly that this was what I wanted, and arranged an initial consultation to explore the idea further. As soon as I met Lolo and saw her studio, I knew I would follow through. She has lots of fun settings and props and costumes. And you can shoot in her studio or in her barn (yes, imagine me, being photographed in a barn!) However, I was like a little girl playing dress up, and it was such fun! And you can even bring your own items from home....from jewelry to lingerie to your favorite dresses and shoes.....as much or as little as you want. I have a vintage 60's ballgown (think Breakfast at Tiffany's) which I have always wanted to be photographed in, in really fun, whimsical poses. As you can probably imagine, my shoot was an absolute blast (albeit a tad cold in the barn). And I loved the champagne, chocolates and ginger biscuits that helped sustain me throughout the 5 hour shoot. :-) Lolo is a great photographer to work with and I can't wait to see my pics! Update 3/8/07: I absolutely LOVE my photos. They turned out even better than I could possibly imagine. Lolo is an exquisite photographer, and captured me in my many moods. Seriously, if I wasn't already me I would probably fall in love with myself based on these photos alone....my vanity alone is going to go through the roof. My poor friends and what they will have to endure from me...... read more

I can't say enough great things about Lone. When I was selecting photographers, I knew I had to find someone I was incredibly comfortable with as I'm super awkward in front of a camera. At most I expected a photographer would talk to me a couple of times on the phone before the shoot and that would be it. I never expected the amount of time and dedication Lone put into getting to know me. She wanted to understand my personality, style, and priorities. I knew immediately I wanted her to capture this intimate shoot. Throughout the entire process, Lone was super responsive and supportive. It is clear she has the expertise and the eye for not only capturing amazing photographs but also making you feel relaxed in front of the camera. The day was perfect, she made me completely comfortable. I could not be happier with my experience, and I will cherish these photographs forever. I can't thank you enough, Lone! read more

I met Lone this past summer... I was determined to give my now husband a boudoir photo album of me as a wedding gift. I Googled a bunch of options in the Bay Area as well as Los Angeles (as the studio that originally got my attention from a wedding TV show was based there) and determined Lolo's was the place for me. Lone even met with me beforehand so I could check out the location and my comfortable-ness with her. The shoot was fun and I'm glad I was able to bring a variety of outfits. It was exciting to see the pics; love the sultriness of the lines she focused on and the lighting. My husband loved 'em too... I think I took him by surprise with this type of gift! read more

It will be one of the most incredible experience you will have. I decided to have my shoot outside on the beach and I wouldn't of had it any other way. It was cold, it was early morning, and there were a few people around but it was incredibly enlightening experience. She makes you feel incredibly beautiful and comfortable as well. If you're thinking about doing it, DO IT it's amazing and she's great! read more

Lone is AMAZING! She is great with getting the right angle and lighting. She can make anyone look GREAT!! Lone is warm and wonderful. She makes you feel comfortable. Her pictures aren't those cheesy stark pictures. She makes the pictures classy with shading and really allows YOU to shine through. The experience itself is great for every woman to experience. The pictures really are a work of art. You will not be dissapointed from start to finish!! read more

This was absolutely the most incredible experience. For years I have contemplated & desired to have photos taken that celebrated my body and my youth and my spirit. Lone is a magnanimous woman that is warm and welcoming. She has an eye for beauty and it is clear that photography- and art- is innate for her. She captures WHO you are and what mood you want to portray. The experience-while liberating and exciting- was also fun. For hours you get to play 'dress up'...or conversely...you get to dress down. I left the shoot on such an emotional 'high'- I felt confident and I felt beautiful. I took the photos for myself- and it was probably the greatest gift I could have treated myself to. I have encouraged all my friends to call lone....and I encourage you as well. read more

This was such a wonderful experience, I hope every girl in the Bay Area gets a chance to treat themselves (and their husbands) to a photo shoot at Lolo's Budoir. Lone allows you to try several outfits, locations, and rolls of film to make sure you get the perfect photo. Wear what you feel sexy in and Lone will take care of the rest. read more

I had found Lone's card years ago at a Lingerie store. I always had thought it would make a wonderful wedding present if I got married. I came across the card by chance 6 months before my wedding and decided to go for it and surprise my fiance. It was an amazing experience. I was very comfortable with Lone and the pictures turned out gorgeous! My fiance is very pleased with them and so am I. Lone captured a variety of "looks" some obviously erotic and others more soft and beautiful. I can't even believe the pictures are me! read more

Second time getting my pics done- its been a few years, but lone is still so creative and fantastic! We laughed and had a blast( not easy when you're naked!) ladies: do yourself a favor- go get your pics done. You will feel so sexy about yourself. Love u lone!! read more

Lone is an amazing artist! I could not stop looking at my photos because she captured the woman I always thought I was on the inside. My friend suggested the idea to me for the photographs for my husband's birthday. I initially said yes for him; however, after an initial consultation with Lone, I was so excited to indulge in this experience because I realized I was doing it for me. The day of the shoot, I was surprised how comfortable I was with Lone. It was as if we had known each other for years. I did not want the session to end because I was having an incredible adventure! Lone and I shared our memories and emotions...overall it was cathartic. The experience transformed the way I saw myself. read more

I too would like to lend kudos to Lolo's Boudoir photography. I had an awesome experience on my two photo shoots and completely recommend Lone for the job of a fabulous photographer. She's very professional and fun andjust easy to be with. I had a liberating experience baring all during my shoots. read more

I received a photo shoot with Lolo's Boudoir as a gift from my closest girlfriends as part of my bachelorette party day. It was the perfect, perfect gift because it felt like a true celebration of me. The pictures were so beautiful, which I rarely say of pictures of me. I felt like she really captured a beauty I hadn't really seen in myself before. They are sexy but very tasteful, and of course, my husband is so happy to have the album! read more

She does awesome work but I have to share that she pulled a bit of a bait-and-switch with me. I could only afford the smallest package ($600) and she told me that's really only a teaser and that everyone gets the next package up because you get only one photo with the lesser package. Hearing this, and feeling pressured (not to mention stupid for not being able to afford the upgrade) took the excitement out of it for me. read more

I had the most amazing experience here with Lone! I have been wanting to do this for years and have thought, "Oh..now is not the right time..if only I could lose 5 more pounds or get rid of this or that"...well, one day, I finally called Lone of Lolo's Boudouir up and was so surprised by how easy she was to talk to. I booked my appt immediately and just finished my session yesterday. She has such a gift with making you feel comfortable. I am a very modest person and felt COMPLETELY comfortable with her. For the first 45 minutes, we chatted and she supplied me with champagne and chocolate. By the time I was ready for my session, I was completely relaxed. She is very detail oriented and makes you feel beautiful and alive as a woman. I walked away from this experience feeling so enlightened and confident. I encourage every woman to do this..no matter what age, size, shape you are, you will not regret it! Highly recommend her work as opposed to others...she does not rush you, her work is amazing and original, and she is a great person to talk to! read more
