Do it. If you're…read morethinking about doing a boudoir session for the first time, just go for it--and do it with Cristen! Cristen is an incredible photographer who makes the entire experience fun, comfortable, and empowering. From the moment the session starts, she guides you through every pose and gives clear direction, so you never have to worry about what to do. Her warm, friendly personality makes it feel like you're spending time with a longtime friend rather than being in front of a camera. What stood out most was how engaged and supportive she was throughout the entire shoot. She created such a relaxed and encouraging atmosphere that I felt confident and completely comfortable from start to finish. If you're on the fence about booking a boudoir session, Cristen is absolutely the photographer you want by your side!

I was immediately met with a warm welcome, smiles, and laughs, and I felt so comfortable through the entire process. My hair and makeup were so gorgeous, and then after selecting my outfits, we got right into photos. Jeni set the vibes with my favorite music and she helped me feel so confident throughout the whole process. Despite being dressed in lingerie, not once did I feel too vulnerable. Jeni helped me come out of my shell and kept me smiling and laughing the entire time. And my pictures are proof! To sing more praises, her expert posing looks INCREDIBLE in the photos!! I don't know how she does it, but these poses took strength to hold, yet my photos look so natural and relaxed. And the curves she's able to capture and have the lighting hit just right is amazing. Chef's kiss! Jeni is such a joy to work with and I loved how she involved me in her process. She asked me if I'm ok with certain poses, always checked in to make sure I was comfortable, and helped me incorporate some creative props I brought with me (a lightsaber and a violin). Her cues while I was in a pose were enormously helpful as well. She gets all the credit for my popping booty, perky girls, and pointed toes. I feel so beautiful and sexy in my photos and I am so excited for my husband's reaction to them!!

I recently did a boudoir session at 9 months pregnant and to say the experience was amazing - is an…read moreunderstatement! Being at the end of my pregnancy, I was feeling extremely big and uncomfortable! I had gone back and forth as to whether I should book the session or not. I was anxious, nervous... all the things! BUT I'M SO GLAD I DID IT! I would tell any pregnant woman (and non) to BOOK IT! Like I said.. I was anxious. I knew I'd feel vulnerable & when pregnant, overly critical of my body. However, as soon as I stepped into the studio, Jeni made me feel at ease and comforted. She truly cares about making clients feel SAFE and HEARD. I genuinely felt so sexy. HOT! And excited to be there. Jeni coached me through every movement and would even show me an angle / position before having me get set for the pics. I truly trusted her! I had all intentions of doing a bra/underwear, kimono, and sporty booty shorts / wet look, but by the end of my session, feeling so comfortable and beautiful (all thanks to Jeni) - I also did a curtain/lace nude wrap and topless pose! I had so much fun during my shoot AND my image reveal! I have never felt so beautiful!! It was 10/10! I also want to add that the makeup artist / hair artist made me look flawless! I loved that it was included in the session and I didn't need to search elsewhere. I genuinely hope to be back soon for another session (not preggers)!

Her presence was warm and friendly, and it was easy to talk to her. I had looked up some poses online before my session, but Pilar had many ideas as well and gave lots of direction - which made the session fun. I remember leaving and thinking "hopefully those turned out good", and when I got them back, they were GREAT. I'm very impressed with how they turned out. I love the editing of the colors - it's like this dark and sultry look. She also provided them in black and white. Most importantly, I feel incredibly sexy and I'm so happy to have these photos to look back at! We had two outfit changes and a bed sheet.

I'm so happy with the photos I got back (she provides them in color as well as black & white) and is great at providing direction on how to pose in case it's your first photoshoot.

Her hair and makeup artist did a great job, even though the extensions I brought were difficult to work with. Brynn explained boudoir to me and showed me samples of what I could expect in the final product as well as the process and timeline. Since I needed the album soon after the shoot, Brynn sent my photos to me the same evening to pick my faves and the album was delivered much more quickly than I anticipated. I wojld recommend this experience to anyone, honestly. You don't have to do it as a gift, you can even do it for yourself. Brynn has a great eye and will make you feel and look your absolute best. She even offered to touch up any insecure areas, you just have to specify what you want. 10/10.

I usually feel super awkward in front of the camera, but I was completely blown away by how incredible the photos turned out. Karen was very easy and reassuring to work with. She made the whole process feel so natural and effortless, and me confident in how I looked. Her direction made posing way less intimidating. She paid attention to every little detail, lighting, hair, makeup, even the room temperature, to make sure I was comfortable the entire time. She also had a great selection of props that really added to the shoot and allowed for a greater photo selection. I also brought a friend with me, which I saw several other boudoir photographers in OC do not allow. She assisted with hair adjustments, posing, and hyped me up the whole time, which made the experience that much better. During the photo viewing (a few days after the shoot), she went through each photo for a yes, maybe, or no, and took notes on how I would or would not like photos to be retouched. She was a very patient and detailed listener to my laundry-list of preferences. As a tip, don't forget to book well in advance of birthdays/holidays if you're doing this as a gift for your S/O. Upon contacting her, it was about a week/a few days for her soonest availability and then a few more days for editing, selecting, and a few more days to receive prints. I was in a huge rush and Karen was kind enough to rush every part of this process so I could have the photos in time for a vacation with my S/O. Overall, I could not speak more highly of Karen, her expertise, quality, and flexibility. I can't thank Karen enough for making this such a great experience, and leaving me with lots of beautiful photos + a huge confidence boost. If you're on the fence about booking, just do it. You won't regret it!

She played music and made champagne cocktails to help make the experience extra special. Katie from Beauty and the Beach did the hair and makeup, and also did an amazing job, even retouching the makeup and playing with different hairstyles with each outfit change. Now for the pictures - I had absolutely no idea what I was doing walking into it. But Rani is so great giving you tips, instructing you, and posing you to get the best angles for your body. She'll even show you poses herself. You could tell she works incredibly hard but also loves what she does. It was so fun feeling like a supermodel for a day and would highly recommend all women experiencing this. And I honestly believe you can't do better than Rani. Her pricing is also very reasonable considering everything her packages include. Some other boudoir photographs may seem a bit cheaper on the surface, but maybe won't include hair and makeup, etc. Overall, boudoir ain't cheap, and to me, feeling safe, comfortable, having fun, AND getting high-quality pictures is well worth it. You won't regret it.

When I was going through the proofs, I was in awe of my photos and I couldn't even believe that they were of me. She was able to emphasize the better parts of me while minimizing the areas of me that I don't really care for. It's easy to be uncomfortable while taking these kinds of photos but Rani has such a sweet, vibrant personality that I felt like I have known her for ages. She and Heather from Beauty and the Beach (who did the makeup) are a great pair and it was honestly a ton of fun taking these photos. Rani's customer service is also top-notch and after experiencing less than stellar customer service from some other photographers, I am extra appreciative of Rani. She created a beautiful album for me and since she knew I was very busy planning for my wedding, she included all of my photos on a disc "just because". Her packaging for her products is super cute and fun and definitely added the extra "oomph" to her already great work. The lighting in her studio is really ideal for photo shoots and is very flattering. I researched quite a few photographers in the area and Rani was by far the most reasonable, especially for the quality and what is included in her packages. She has a great variety of backgrounds and props/furniture at her disposal in her studio and she was lugging in more backdrops when I came in that day. She really is enthusiastic about her photography and is always on the lookout for something else to include at her studio for her clients. Her communication with me was always prompt, which is always appreciated. I highly encourage everyone to get these done (and soon!).
