Mandy is wonderful! I had always wanted to do a boudoir photoshoot so when I met Mandy, I knew I had to book a session. She is very calm, cool and collected so I felt so comfortable from day one. She explained everything very clearly up front. During the process she was so helpful with picking outfits that would photograph well. The day of the shoot she had someone do my hair and makeup so I felt extra confident and camera ready. When I got the photos back I couldn't believe how fantastic they were. It was worth every penny. Whether you are doing this for yourself or your significant other, don't hesitate! You will love the experience. read more

My session with Mandy was the most uplifting, confidence building and amazing experience I could ever have done for myself! I was really wanting to do a boudoir session for a while, but never really knew of anyone that I would feel comfortable with to actually DO it. But once I met Mandy, I knew I could fulfill my wish. So I took a deep breath, ignored all the reasons I was telling myself not to do it and just booked it. Best decision EVER. I did not want to look at my life and have regrets of not doing it. Looking back at my life as I age, I will now be proud of the choice I had made. Mandy's style of photography and the quality of photos is so unique, clean and sexy with grace. I highly recommend all ladies to give this gift to themselves. You'll feel so glad you did! read more

Any woman who has ever wanted to feel sexy and finally OWN it should look into doing a boudoir shoot with Mandy. No, I don't have a significant other that I wanted to take these sexy boudoir photos for. This was something that I wanted to do just for ME and be proud of who I am, in the skin that I'm in, no matter what anyone else thinks. This was something Mandy completely understood and was just as excited for me to do this as I was. If you took a professional model shoot and added the pampering of a bride, that is what our whole day felt like. Mandy was so professional and personal during the entire process. We met first to discuss what type of style we were going for and gauged my level of confidence. I told her what was important to me (my tattoos) and what I wasn't comfortable with (fluffy midsection). And she paid very close attention to all of those things without me having to remind her or feel uneasy. On the day of the shoot it felt more like hanging out with the girls while getting ready for a night out. That type of trust is what allowed me to let go and be vulnerable and sexy. These photos are an example of how talented Mandy is to be able to capture my skater punk kid personality while exposing the bad ass sexy lady I never knew I could be. Thank you, Mandy for making me look this f'ing amazing and sharing your gift, talent and passion with me. read more

I was so extremely unsure of what to expect and knew that I was completely out of my comfort zone going into a boudoir photo shoot. Heck, I would be out of my comfort zone in any photo shoot, but this was not something I would have ever pictured myself doing. But Mandy quickly eased my mind and her guidance through the whole process made it such a wonderful experience! I would highly recommend any lady (of any background, of any size) who has considered doing this, to JUMP IN! Do it! You will not regret it. Mandy walks you through the whole process, from choosing the right outfit (or none at all) down to the breathing. She doesn't push you to do anything that you aren't comfortable doing. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience for me. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed seeing the photos! As most self-conscience females are, it's not always easy to look at pictures of yourself, because you nit pick on the not so flattering aspects. But Mandy knows how to pose you and work with the lighting and angles, that every picture turned out better than expected!! She is an absolute professional! read more

I had a few reserves about setting up a shoot with Mandy, just because I'm not fit physically.

Thank you for helping me feel sexy regardless of what society tells me about how I should look!

I was blessed enough to land a casting call with this amazing photographer. I have had previous boudoir shoots with other photographers in the past, but there are always nerves when working with someone new- "Will they make me look good?" "what if they capture all my bad angles?" "what if I just don't feel comfortable with them?". All of these concerns were thrown out the window throughout the time I spent working with Mandy. Mandy's passion for her work is contagious and puts you immediately at ease. If you're feeling awkward trying to pose, don't worry cause she'll jump in there with you to try and figure out the best pose. The viewing session "the big reveal" is by far the most amazing part. It feels a bit like Christmas morning. While you're in the actual photoshoot process, you can't possibly imagine that the pictures can come out so magical. Personally I was drooling at myself as she showed me our shots. Mandy's love for her work also comes through in her competitive pricing, hard to beat in this area for the amazing quality work that Mandy produces. Her makeup artist/hair stylist was equally friendly, and worked with my to create a look that I loved. If you haven't given yourself the treat of a boudoir shoot before, I'm telling you, you need to do it. Thank you Mandy Merino for the incredible pleasure of working with you! read more

In the days leading up to my shoot, I contemplated canceling. I was most definitely hesitant and nervous that I wasn't "where I wanted it to be" yet and that I was just not ready. When I got to the studio and was instantly greeted by Mandy with an infectious smile and a big hug, I knew immediately I made the right decision. From the moment I walked in, with Beyoncé playing in the background, my attitude changed from nervous to "I got this!" Mandy is warm and has a special way about her that makes you feel beautiful, sexy and empowered. I never had to worry about what to do with my body, as Mandy showed me how to pose, where to look, and even what expressions to give. Our session was full of laughs and moments of appreciating an amazing shot! Thank you for this experience Mandy, I am so glad I decided to do this! I thought this shoot was a gift for my husband, but turned out to be a huge gift for myself. read more

I did a boudoir shoot with Mandy, and I have to say that it was AMAZING! Being a new mommy to twins, I have not felt like my old self. I was so nervous about stripping down to almost nothing, (especially since I am usually trying to layer it on and cover it up) but Mandy made me feel so comfortable. As soon as I walked into her home studio, I knew that I was in a safe place where I could be myself. She is one of the sweetest and most professional women that I have met, and that goes such a long way when you are about to show it all to someone you just met. From the hair and makeup, to picking out the wardrobe, to posing in the ways that make you look like a bombshell, Mandy had it down! She was able to bring out a part of me that I hadn't seen in a while, and it felt so good! So, if you have any interest in this kind of shoot, you owe it to yourself to capture the goddess that you are! Believe me, you will not regret it. Thank you so much, Mandy Merino!! This will be an experience I will never forget!! read more

My experience with Mandy was the best I could have possibly hoped for. She communicated her process/products effectively from the beginning and made me feel very confident in what I was getting for my money. She made me feel comfortable in her home getting pampered with my hair/makeup and by getting me snacks which was essentials since I was 8 months pregnant. It was her first maternity shoot and I think she did a great job. She positioned my husband and I in poses that showed our true love and excitement for our baby to be as well as put me in confident poses to show my beauty and love for my bump in the boudoir photos. She came to my house to show me my prints and gave me invaluable input in choosing the photos that I was happiest with. Her turn around time was also very quick and she was willing to get me my digital prints ASAP so I could you one on our Baby Shower Thank You Cards. I highly recommend booking with Mandy. It was truly a great experience. read more
