For my 40th birthday I decided to ignore the doubts and just go for it and, as luck would have it, I came across Donna's work on Instagram. I could feel her warmth through her infectious smile on her page and website, and all of the photos she took of her clients were amazing!! So, I decided to reach out and I'm glad I did. She made me feel comfortable from our very first meeting! She helped with picking the right lingerie for my body (and what would show best on camera) and she has a ready made hair style and make up team...she really takes the guesswork out of the whole process so that you can enjoy being in the moment. It's one of the best things I've ever done and I feel so amazing every time I look at my pictures!! Treat yourself to this amazing experience with Donna! The memories last a lifetime. One day I'll show my grandkids these pictures and say "this is how grandma used to look"...

You don't have to know how to pose your body or face, she will direct you to make sure she captures you in the most flattering way. I went in thinking I would be happy if I could pick 10 photos I liked and I actually struggled to get the selection down to 25! I felt so confident in the results and that feeling has stuck with me days later. I cannot wait for my future husband to see his wedding gift! I highly recommend Black Lace Boudoir and Rami to anyone that is looking to feel like a super model!

I've done two sessions with Black Lace Boudoir, and I can say without hesitation--it changed my…read morelife. After surviving a 13-year abusive marriage, I had completely lost my sense of self. My therapist suggested doing a boudoir session to reconnect with the parts of me that had been buried under years of emotional pain. At first, I didn't think it was possible. I didn't feel beautiful, strong, or worthy. I didn't even recognize myself anymore. I searched everywhere for the right photographer, but nothing felt right--until I spoke with Rami. From the very first phone call, it felt like I was talking to someone who truly saw me. She was kind, patient, and incredibly compassionate. At the time, I couldn't afford the session, and instead of turning me away, she told me she'd wait. That kind of empathy is rare. When the day finally came, I visited the client closet--an absolute treasure trove of lingerie, shoes, and accessories in every size from 0 to 6/7X. I felt included. I felt considered. And for the first time in years, I felt excited. The day of my session, I was pampered with professional hair and makeup (included!) by an incredibly talented artist. And when I stepped in front of the camera, Rami guided me with grace and care. It didn't feel forced or awkward. It felt like healing. When I saw my photos later that same day, I cried. Not out of sadness, but because I finally saw myself--the strength, softness, beauty, and resilience that had been there all along. I've since gone back for a second session and will absolutely do another. I recommend Black Lace to any woman--especially those coming out of trauma, battling depression, or simply feeling lost. Rami doesn't just take beautiful pictures. She helps you rediscover yourself. This was more than a photo shoot. It was the beginning of my healing. And I'll never stop being grateful.

Back in February or March I saw and met with a representative at the Dulles Expo Center. This business is one of the attractions that caught my eye. Getting some photos taken with my wife could be a lot of fun. Doing nudes or something risky or out of our comfort zone would be fun. Talking to one of the representative gave good feeling and something I would like to try with my wife. I wish I could remember the name of the representative, but her name escapes me. I do remember some of the promotional photos I saw on this website and knew I had found the right business. Talking with this representative gave me the information and feeling that this business is worth doing. Doing business with them looks good because of the way the representative handled my questions.

Doing a boudoir session with Kelly and her team gives you this feeling of accomplishment, power, control and of course sexiness. Wild for just some photos, but man after your complete and I mean complete workout with her you come back after lunch and get that moment: The moment in Bridgeton when Penelope makes a grand entrance at Lady Danbury's ball debuting her new look. The BRIEF moment in Ever After when Danielle enters the Ball with the wings Da Vinci made for her. The moment in New Girl when Nick and Jess first kiss. The moment in the Notebook when Allie visits Noah's home after several years to see if he's okay. That's the feeling you get when Kelly shows you your photos. That catch your breath, don't cry, WOW, I can't believe this is really real beautiful moment. But I mean if you don't want to feel that way go on to your bargain-basement Boudoir .

I appreciated that there was a lot of communication and support leading up to shoot because I had never done anything like this before and was pretty apprehensive. Additionally, the actual shoot was phenomenal, and everyone I worked with was incredibly welcoming and put all of my nerves at ease. Amanda (the photography assistant) was the first person I encountered. She was so helpful and made sure I was comfortable. I also found it impressive how easily she anticipated the needs of my photographer, Jenny, throughout the shoot. They worked incredibly well together. My hair and makeup artist, Joie, was so fun and had great energy. It really was the best way to kick off the shoot, and I felt so good after she finished up with everything. Finally, Jenny was an incredible photographer. I was so worried about posing and my pictures looking too staged, but she really took the time to show each pose first (with very simple instructions to follow), which was very helpful. I never felt rushed, and she got some really amazing shots that I thought looked natural. As a whole, they all hyped me up and made me feel so confident and sexy. Truly a great experience. Even my reveal session was amazing from a customer lens. Cynthia showed me my pictures and was so patient while I tried to narrow them down. She gave helpful advice when asked, and I left feeling like I had a solid set of pictures picked out (though it was hard to narrow them down because there were so many great ones). I cannot recommend Silk & Lace enough!

I spoke with an associate on the phone, she walked me through the process, told me pricing started at $950 and I wrongly assumed that much money would pay for digital images. After I paid a $200 non refundable deposit, I saw a price sheet that spelled out the specifics for keeping my images. Very expensive and very few digital images are included unless you spend thousands of dollars. I couldn't justify the cost of the experience for only keeping one print so I cancelled. If you're looking to do this only for the experience, I bet it would be amazing but I was hoping to keep the images as a gift.

I know I was making the right choice, when Jose call me before the session begin, I believe he was trying to find out what type of personality the client is. I think beside photography skills, a photographer need to connect with the client so he can deliver his best and not only capturing a face, but a picture that speaks a thousand words just like the old song :) The process is pretty easy and it doesn't take forever since he knows what he's doing. If you are a professional and looking for "million bucks headshot" just contact Jose and thank me later! :)
