I cannot recommend Petra Novak Boudoir enough. This experience was about so much more than beautiful, sexy photos -- it was empowerment at the highest level. I have struggled with body image for most of my life. I was a bigger girl from a young age, and even after losing 140 pounds and going through surgery, I still carried an old image of myself in my mind. I kept putting off booking a session -- telling myself I would do it after I lost 30 more pounds, after I was more toned, after I felt "ready." Please hear me when I say: don't wait. From the moment I arrived, Petra and Diana made me feel completely at ease. The studio atmosphere was warm, fun, and uplifting. Diana made me feel absolutely beautiful -- even better than I imagined -- and Petra took the time to truly understand my style and personality. She guided every pose so naturally that what I feared would feel awkward actually felt empowering and authentic. When Petra showed me the first images on the back of her camera, I was in shock. The woman I saw was radiant. Strong. Beautiful. She didn't look like the version I carried in my head. For the first time, I started to see myself differently. What I didn't expect was how much this would impact my marriage. Watching my husband see the images -- the way he looked at me with pure love and adoration -- was incredibly moving. At our reveal session, he immediately knew which images he wanted enlarged and in the album. He was anxiously waiting for the app and still gets the sweetest grin when he looks at the photos. He doesn't see the "flaws" I see. He sees me as beautiful and beloved. With Petra and Diana's help, I was able to glimpse myself through his eyes -- and that has been life-changing. If you're nervous, shy, or think you need to change something about yourself first... don't. Do it now. And then maybe do it again later. You deserve to be celebrated exactly as you are. This wasn't just a photo session. It was healing. It was empowering. And it reignited a spark in our marriage that I will always be grateful for. read more

Petra was my makeup artist and also a wedding photographer. She came to my house couple weeks prior to my wedding and did a test makeup for me and my MOH. She was very open to listen to my requests but she also can make great recommendations on her own. She is very professional and knowledgeable about the right kind of makeup needed that looks the best on pictures. Her personality is very cheerful and she lightens up the atmosphere when the bride needs it the most! We were very happy with the pictures from our wedding. Both daytime sunny ones and night times pictures. They were ready in no time which is a great plus and now we have our memories captured thanks to her.
