She was so accommodating all the way through the process before the wedding, during and after. She knew I was a ball of nerves the day of my wedding and really helped me to feel confident/beautiful that day. She has a way about her that makes people feel comfortable and I heard from multiple guests how lovely she was! This woman is unmatched - if you're still debating, look no further. You've found your dream photographer. 10/10 will be recommending her to everyone I know.

My wife and I hired Hope to photograph our wedding in Seattle this year, and she was fantastic…read more Hope was super chill and easy to work with, a great communicator, and so much fun to have at our event! In our first conversation we told her about our plans, and the vibe we were looking for, and she talked about her aesthetic and sent us some of her work to look at. We had some stuff we definitely didn't want at our wedding (like a bunch of super posed group photos), and she was gracious about all of our requests. After we agreed to work together, Hope sent a really simple digital contract and payment form for us to complete. I was also really impressed with the fact that she immediately went to our venue and scoped it out so she had an idea of where to take all of our photos, and what to expect at the event. Leading up to the wedding, when we were overwhelmed with all the details, Hope sent helpful messages just checking in and asking if we had questions for her. On the day of the event she was totally available - she came to our house while we got ready, and documented some lovely intimate moments without making it weird. We had talked through a photography plan for an outdoor wedding, but of course it poured rain! So we had to get married indoors, and Hope adjusted beautifully. During the ceremony and the reception, she was always in the right place capturing the perfect moment. She captured our vibe so well with our "couples" photos. Hope delivered the photos quickly after the fact, responded to feedback, and was just overall fantastic to work with. The photos are gorgeous. Highly recommend!!

Every person should do this for themselves. I was so nervous but Cheryl was amazing, she made you feel very comfortable. And the makeup artist, Brittney was incredible! She gave me the look I wanted (that I didn't even know I wanted) In a situation like this, if you're a control freak like me, try and let the professionals guide you. Shots and poses that I thought would look silly or made me uncomfortable ended up being some of my favorite photos.

I'm a 45 year old women that wasn't in the shape I wanted to be but I really wanted to do this for my husband's 50th. Little did I know this would be for me too, as much, if not more. Nikoma, the fabulous hair and makeup person was so personable and really helped me feel welcomed and special. Cheryl came in, got a few of my ideas and was all direction from outfits to how to poses, I didn't have to think about anything, she knows what she's doing. I came back an hour after the shoot to choose the photos (the hardest part). They were all so stunning and the most eye opening thing was that they were gorgeous even before editing! After, once I had sometime to process the experience I was brought to tears multiple times thinking about how different I was seeing myself, in a very body positive way. I came to her for a product but I left with so much more. I can't recommend this enough. Such an incredible experience and keepsake.

Shooting with erica was a personal revelation. Committed to technical excellence in her craft, what…read moremakes erica stand out as a photographer is her emotional dexterity. After being a part of multiple group shoots, I watched her rejoice in her subjects' uninhibited sexuality and then walk someone through their body image baggage with equal parts humor and tenderness. Her attentiveness to detail not only in aesthetic but also how the people she works with are feeling (and there are sometimes a lot feelings!) creates images that are unique, intimate and striking. Also, payment plans are a thing! Inclusive, queer focused, class conscious, photography. What a dream !

Shooting with Erica, a thoughtful, intuitive, and talented photographer, was a complete joy. I shot on location, but I'm incredibly jealous of those that are able to shoot in this gorgeous studio!

Sophia/Blush Boudoir is amazing amazing amazing!…read more From start to finish Sophia made me feel very comfortable despite doing very uncomfortable poses. She had snacks to keep yout energy up and she was not uncomfortable helping you out to put those tricky garters on. When time came to start, she gave very good directions and quite a fee laughters were shared along the way. The best part was, I couldn't wait to see the proofs! Sophia was so fun! She also had connections to amazing make up artists. So you can feel super beautiful inside and out! Another reason I would recommend Sophia/Blush Boudoir is that her place is gorgeous with the most amazing lighting. Also, very reasonable pricing for a Boudoir shoot. I am happy to know that she will also start doing maternity shoots. I will definitely remember to call Sophia again when that time comes. I encourage everyone to do a boudoir shoot and I absolutely recommend Sophia/Blush Boudoir for an awesome session!

Every person looks stunning and confident. If you're nervous or unsure, Dawn's energy and talent make this a fun, empowering experience you'll be so glad you did. I can't wait.

Alice is absolutely AMAZING! From start to finish she makes the experience a unique fit for you,…read moreyour style, your comfort and embraces YOU! Beginning with communication surrounding a mood board prior to my shoot, up through meeting to select my pictures post-shoot it was a top notch experience. She creates a fun and comfortable atmosphere where you feel safe exploring a side of you that I definitely hadn't explored before. She went above and beyond to capture looks I envisioned and never rushed us through the process. She made me feel like a super model. She has a warm heart and demeanor. Alice takes the time to genuinely get to know you. Prior to my shoot I found myself questioning if this was more for my husband or for me. It felt so indulgent and promoted self-love. I highly recommend this to everyone and anyone. You can wear as much or as little clothing as you like, there are no rules and Alice encourages you to embrace what you want the experience to be. Initially I was a bit hesitant about the price...in the end she was worth every penny! I even spent more to splurge on a bigger package since so many pictures turned out fabulous! Alice is your girl!

Her technical expertise with creating photographs is top notch, but she also takes the time to get to know her subjects, and what type of feeling they want to convey. The customer service is also excellent. Watch for her to announce that she is traveling if you are not in the Seattle Area - especially if you are in Minneapolis as she comes here frequently.
