If you're looking to shop at the Maven Black line at Shineon I wouldnt recommend it. Made an appointment a month out online, was getting serval which seemed like automated messaging on what to prepare for my shoot and what not, I disregarded the messages until the day before my appointment I wanted to call and make sure that Im only coming to shop and not shoot! I just didn't want to waste her time if she is thinking shes doing a shoot which was not the case. So I called left a VM no answer or callback. So the next day I proceeded to go 45 minutes into downtown houston, waiting around the lofts for about 10 minutes called her multiple times and got forwarded and never answered the door to her studio. One of my Other friends who had shown me this boutique had known her personally and reached out, ONLY THEN DID SHE DECIDE to text me some message on how MY appointment got cancelled and if I wanted to reschedule. I think its completely unprofessional to cancel an appointment for a someone and not let them know and just leave them in the dust. if this is how she is even for shopping I cant imagine how unprofessional she is in her other endeavors. read more

My shoot with ShineOn Boudoir in downtown Houston was the first professional boudoir photoshoot I've ever booked, and I was very nervous for weeks leading up to it. I was not in a very body-positive mindset the evening before and even walking into the studio the day of, but that quickly changed as I talked with Julia and her team. My nerves calmed when Laura started on my makeup, and Kendall handed me a glass of champagne. Leading up to the photoshoot, I received several emails with information regarding their downtown warehouse loft location right across from Minute Made Park and parking. They also included how to best prepare for the shoot--from what to wear, skincare suggestions, and where to buy high-quality lingerie if I didn't already have some. The email sent the day before let me know the timeline and everything that would take place that day. Their excellent communication certainly helped me relax before the big day! Laura did a beautiful job on my makeup. I typically wear very natural and light makeup, and it was fun to see the drama she added, so my makeup would stand out for the shoot! I still looked like myself, which was important to me. While Laura did my makeup, Kendall went through the several outfits I had packed and my jewelry to pick out the shoot styles. She and Julia decided to put me in a few pieces from Julia's lingerie line, and they were absolutely stunning! It was wonderful to hand over the final decision making to their team of professionals and relax. Once my hair and makeup were done, I got to see the outfits that had been styled for me, and we started the shoot. Julia demonstrated and talked me through exactly what poses I'd be doing for each shot. She kept saying "gorgeous" or "perfect" with every shot, and it definitely boosted my confidence. By the end of the shoot, we had several stunning photos to choose from, and we sat together to whittle down the choices. This was the most challenging part of the experience, and I was stunned to see myself on the screen. Was that really me? The lighting was stunning. The curves and angles were so feminine and breathtaking. She and her team had managed to bring out the goddess in me, and I couldn't have felt more confident leaving the studio. I will be recommending ShineOn Boudoir to all of my friends. Men and women alike! They also shoot couples, which could be such a fun gift for a birthday or holiday. I'm certainly hoping my upcoming birthday involves a gift certificate so I can snag more of the photos I had to weed out from this shoot! Highly recommend! read more

I can't tell you what an amazing experience I had at ShineOn Boudoir. I was hesitant because I had never done boudoir before and I wasn't sure if it was going to be worth the price because it was expensive. I knew I had to do this for myself since I had lost a substantial amount of weight and it was also going to be an anniversary present for my husband. Let me just say I felt like a goddess, a queen, when working with Julia. Her team did my hair, makeup and I was able to borrow some pieces from her personal closet for the photo shoot. I was the first person to get to wear one of the sheer robes! She guided me through all of my poses and made everything so natural and comfortable. She went through all pictures and options with me before I left too. It was a very personalized experience that I would 100% do again with her. I would recommend ShineOn Boudoir over and over again. There's a reason why she is so good at what she does!! read more

This was my first boudoir shoot and they made me feel so comfortable from the very beginning.

Bonus** you get to actually see your photos before you even leave the studio!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Fantastic artistic photography. You get what you pay for so don't expect to be able to keep a budget, but you will absolutely love your shoot, the way you feel, and the amazing pictures that you will get after. Totally priceless. read more

This was my first time having a boudoir shoot and nobody will ever compare to what Julia and her team gave me. I did it originally for my birthday for my husband and after the shoot I was in tears at how this experience wasn't for him but it was really for me. I got so much more than stunning pictures. I got the most incredible experience and it was so empowering how Julia builds women up. Not once was I feeling vulnerable during my shoot. I was comfortable and I felt just as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. To top the shoot off I saw my pictures after I got dressed. Even more powerful was to see me the way they see me. I highly recommend Julia and her team. I even purchase some of her lingerie. It was so beautiful! Thank you Julia I can't wait to do another session. read more

My experience with ShineON Boudoir was amazing! I had wanted to do a boudoir shoot for my wedding 2 years ago to give as a wedding gift to my husband but I was too nervous about showing off my body. Well, I finally took the plunge and I couldn't be happier with myself. Not only are my photos beautiful and I had tons of fun but it really helped my self confidence. Julia and Telly helped me to see my body in a way I never had before and I felt sexy and happy with me! I was still super nervous when I showed up for my shoot, but Julia and Telly were so kind and understanding I was able to open up and they really got me out of my shell. Telly did my hair and makeup and she did a fantastic job! I had no idea how I wanted my hair and makeup done but Julia and Telly figured it out for me. Telly did a very natural hair and makeup which was nice because I could still see me, just enhanced. They both coached me through poses, how to breathe, and where to look. I think the pictures came out beautifully, they weren't overly sexualized it left just enough to the imagination. They had tons of ideas and different backgrounds so I had a large variety in my pictures. My favorite ones were taken with just me on the floor, I got to do some of the most fun poses there! They both have a lot of attention to detail which really showed in my pictures. They even made sure to pose my hair for me! I wish I hadn't waited so long to take these pictures, Julia and Telly showed me that I didn't have anything to worry about, I was only holding myself back from a great experience. I would do another session with them in a heartbeat and I would highly recommend ShineON Boudoir to anyone looking to get some fantastic boudoir photos. If it's your first time or even your tenth Julia and Telly are so much fun to work with and they will make you feel and look like a million bucks! read more

I'm not someone who would ever write a review. But as a long time small business owner who is very familiar with the photography industry, I want to make sure potential clients are aware of her business practice. BUYER BEWARE. If you sign up, there are separate NON REFUNDABLE fees. First one is to book the date and studio. This $549 is NOT including any images. This is only to book the date and time. This is non-refundable. Second, is that with agreement to book the date you are required to spend a MINIMUM of $1000 on images or products. This *fine print is cleverly put in a pop up before signing. There is no signature required. It is easily overlooked. This is non-negotiable, even if you don't like the images! I have worked with many photographers for both personal and business purposes. Never, have I signed a "implied contract". Never have I paid more than $700 for a shoot date, location, few "looks" with at least 5 digital images. Ever. The few times I didn't like enough of the selected images from the photographer, they dropped the price appropriately without hesitation. My experience was less than acceptable and professional. The shoot was purchased as a gift for my wife. The shoot went fine from what she told me. We scheduled a virtual review of the images. I was told I would need to pick 34 images for an album. After reviewing the images, I only liked 14 (and that was pushing it). "I'll just fill in the rest with ones I like to get to 34". The quoted price for that album costs more than a small car! I told her I would rather just get the minimum purchase order. She said that would be at least 10 images to meet the "required $1000" minimum. I told her I did not sign a contract and also that I don't feel that 10 of those images are worth that money. Maybe 4. I've worked with so many photographers. I am an amateur photographer myself. I give her a D- as a professional photographer. Angles are poor, lighting is not placed well. She gets a B on her studio. All her images are the same if you look at her gallery. She gets a B on photoshop, which she clearly compensates some for her lack of talent. I was extremely disappointed in the images, despite her taking over 200 pictures. Despite telling her this, she insisted I had signed a "implied contract" requiring a $1000 minimum on top of the booking fee. This is very poor business practice. Complete disregard for customer satisfaction or attempt to resolve the issues. Never offered to reshoot, partial refund or any attempt to resolve the conflict. Rather than fight her, I paid. I am considering reporting her to the Better Business Bureau for misleading business practice. Potential clients who are considering. Please know that you will not pay less than $1549. NON REFUNDABLE. NON NEGOTIABLE. It doesn't matter if you don't like the images. And I assume if you have any other reasons to not like the services, she will absolutely not make any attempt to resolve the issue. read more

Julia is the best photographer I've ever worked with. If you want outstanding senior portraits before this year flies by, you better schedule with ShineOn before it's too late because I wouldn't be surprised if her waiting list isn't 2 pages long. Excellent photographer, fun person, and awesome business all around!! read more

Can't wait to go back and get my SHINEon again! It looked amazing! I have already booked my next appointment! Julia was very professional and made me feel very comfortable through out the whole process! As a "first time spray tanner" she explained everything I needed to do before, during and after the appointment! I was impressed with the fact she travels to you and for such an amazing price! I had a very natural color with no streaking or patches! She is very detail oriented! I was really impressed with how natural the color stayed! Also, having very sensitive skin the solution was never stinky, irritating, itchy or bothersome which I was worried about! read more
