    This is a new price range according to her website, but what she sent me was 1/3 of that price.

    Hi all, I was referred to Amber by my sister since she took beautiful pictures of my nieces couple years ago. So, I reached out to her to book for my maternity and newborn sessions. ( I saw her amazing work and fully trusted my sister) - so in my mind thought it would be a simple and smooth process and absolutely nothing to worry about. I reached out to her to see her availabilities and price range/ packages for maternity and newborn. She replied back vary nicely and provided detailed price range for each package. I picked the package I wanted and she told me she will be setting up a quick talk over the phone to know each other and coming up with date for maternity photography. (I attached a picture to prove that) She then rescheduled twice and when I reached out to her she was ignoring me. I went ahead and checked out her page again and saw she Triple the price for maternity packages. (Are you seriously!! I couldn't believe it- that's why she never replied back to me) I do have pictures to prove that !!!!! Then, again I contacted her but she never got back to me since she jumped the price. As I mentioned, she was referred to me by my own sister and took pictures of my nieces but I can't believe she done that. She raised the price as soon as I talked to her. (She could have said the price are raising or here is a new price range rather than ignoring a customer) I ended up taking my maternity pictures with someone else who I truly honest. Ladies and gentlemen please look around before booking with her and have writing prove of her words. Wish you all the best

    We had an absolutely amazing experience. The selection of clothing and styles was just perfect for my maternity shoot. Ambers professionalism and kind etiquette made me feel right at ease the entire time!

    Amber is such a talented photographer. We brought our toddler in for a holiday mini session and I was stressed that we wouldn't get any good shots since her attention span is so short and she moves so fast. Amber was able to get so many beautiful shots in like ten minutes I was AMAZED. Definitely want to come back for my next maternity sessions and next newborn when we have another child. I only wish I had found her sooner!

    Amber won us over with this image from our first mini session.

    So... after my maternity/newborn photographer went on hiatus, I was on a mission to find a new photographer for my daugher's 1 year photos. I wish I could say I found Amber right away... it took a year and a half until our paths crossed. We were at Back Bay one afternoon with our daughter when I saw the most beautiful maternity session taking place. I couldn't take my eyes off of them. It looked so peaceful and ethereal. The mother looked like a model (BTW all of Amber's clients are simply STUNNING) and the photographer looked super professional with her good looking videographer by her side ;) and all her accessories/props for her session. I had never come across a session like this. EVER. At the end of our "hike"... as we were walking to our car, I saw everyone standing and talking nearby in the parking lot. I walked up and asked her if she also did toddler sessions. To my delight, she said YES! She gave me one of her cards and I walked back to my car. Her business card was perfect... if it was an indication of the kind of work she was capable of, I knew I couldn't be disappointed. As soon as we got home, hubby and I went on her site. Each picture we saw was simply amazing. Each better than the last (if that was even possible). I emailed her immediately... told her I was the weird gawker from Back Bay. Warned her about my very feisty/squirmy/not so cooperative 2 1/2 yr old. And if she was up for the challenge, I would love to book a session with her. She fearlessly accepted. We started with a mini. The way my daughter was running around/away from Amber, I gave up any hope of getting a decent photo. When she sent me the gallery... I was SHOCKED. HOW did she manage to capture such images? Hubby received pictures for his birthday... to say it was his FAVORITE present ever is the understatement of the year. BTW... parts of this mini session ended up on her video. If you haven't seen it... you MUST. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBc7ucoXwG4 (Doesn't it just warm your heart?) Fast forward a few months later... Amber posts on her Facebook about this ridiculously adorable dress. Would anyone buy it and let her photograph the "model". I accepted this challenge as we needed to book our daughter's 3 year pictures. This time, I was smart enough to book a full session instead of a mini. And this session would be no less challenging for Amber... just having woken up from a nap, we had a very cranky (and still tired) 3 year old. (*sigh) I prayed that Amber would be able to work her magic despite the uncooperative "model". When the gallery arrived... I almost cried it was so beautiful. Every picture was so angelic. Since our first encounter... we have not only built a lasting business relationship, but a friendly one as well. So, when she informed me that she would be opening a new studio... I was thrilled for her (both as a client and friend). When we went to her open house, you could tell that blood, sweat and tears went into creating such a warm and inviting studio for her clients. The organization of all her props... the play area for the kiddos (my 3 yo definitely approved) and just the coziness of the studio itself, despite it's huge space. Overall... There aren't words to describe the kind of pictures she captures. The mood that takes over when viewing her photos. The images that we will treasure FOREVER. We truly believe that Amber is WORTH. EVERY. PENNY. You will NOT be disappointed.

    This was a present for my Wife. Sugar Free was chosen because of the previous allotment of pictures we had gone through to choose the right photographer. Every picture you see, you can tell they took pain staking time to do correctly. No double chins, perfect lighting, and incredible facial expressions caught at just the right time. Anyone can take a picture, but Sugar Free Photography has talent. So, this is a step by step rating of Sugar Photography. We have already done the first 2 steps and have been thrilled with the way things have worked out so far. Step 1; The Consultation: An introduction to you and your photographer and crew. You know, most people will actually try to up-sell you on product. Amber and Tabetha listened to our needs and became creative with our budget, this made us feel comfortable with what we were getting, as they had a lot of options available. Then they showed us around the studio , the dressing room, the kids room, and the adult lounge room. Both are incredibly nice and you can tell they love what they do. Step 2; Day of the Shoot: PREPARATION We had Elfie Simon as the make-up artist. She did an amazing job with not only make-up , but hair as well. She left my wife feeling like a princess, and she couldn't help but takes a few selfies with her new look. When it came time for dresses, Tabetha, Amber and my wife went through their inventory of dresses to find just the right ones... They picked a couple I thought would look horrible, but they were right they looked incredible. INDOOR SHOOT They had a setup designed and ready for my wife. It was easy to work with. They positioned her into some weird positions, that ended up with her at one point almost tipping over which was pretty funny... but the positioning is key to get the best shots. OUTDOOR SHOOT We had selected to do the beach photography. We followed them to the beach and made our way down to the shoreline. The dresses there flowed beautifully with the breeze and you could tell that the photo's they were taking were going to be gorgeous. If Tabetha hadn't been there, my wife would have fallen a couple of times. They moved her location around a bit to get different angled shots. They were great to work with. Now we are just waiting for the photo's.

    I knew I would be booking the newborn session and I never ever imagined doing a maternity shoot until I saw Ambers work. She's so easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable, even at the beach with a bunch of other photo sessions going on. Can't wait for our newborn shoot!!

    Our family is still absolutely in love with the photos that Amber shot of our daughters in December. Everything about our experience was perfect, from her interactions with the girls, the studio, and the final product. We are so grateful!

    Amber captured my daughter and I perfectly. She was teething terribly the whole time but you would have never even guessed it.

    My wife gave me this boudoir shoot as a birthday gift, and wow, what a gift it turned out to be…read more From my perspective as the husband on the receiving end, the photos came out incredible. Let's just say... she absolutely understood the assignment. What I really appreciated was how much class the studio brought to the entire experience. The images were sexy without being too much, elegant without losing that playful and intimate feel. They clearly knew how to highlight her beauty in a tasteful, flattering, and polished way. You can tell this studio knows exactly what they're doing. The photos definitely had plenty of heat, but just as important, my wife seemed comfortable throughout the process, and that showed in the final results. As her husband, I'll just say I probably spent longer admiring the photos than I should admit in a Yelp review. This was absolutely a home run of a birthday gift. If you're looking for a boudoir studio that can create something sexy, polished, and genuinely classy, I would absolutely recommend them. To respect my wife's privacy, I attached AI-generated recreations inspired by the actual shots.

To put this into perspective, she did my mom's boudoir shoot over 15 years ago, and then my aunt's. I guess true to what's starting to look like a family tradition (lol), I came to Beth for my own boudoir shoot to surprise my husband on our wedding day. Beth is incredibly talented, warm, and is a master at making her clients feel comfortable and confident. For those who're worried about what to do or who generally don't think they look good in pictures, don't sweat it. She'll tell you exactly how to pose, where to look, and overall hold your hand throughout the entire process. I didn't worry about a thing during my shoot. When she showed me the sneak peeks afterward, I couldn't believe the results! And this was before editing. The final product--a high-quality, heavy-duty book--took my breath away. Beth is worth every penny and is truly a gift to women. She cares deeply about her clients and her work, and it shows.

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!!

She was funny and made me feel comfortable and not at all intimidated, and trust me I was nervous going in.

Pricing felt high at first, However the quality of work, experience, and expertise that Jeni has is well well worth the cost! I have zero regrets and will be letting everyone know how awesome she and her work is! Do not hesitate to book with her! Forget a 5 star rating, all the stars for Jeni!

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!).
