I wanted to do something special for my husband's 50th birthday. I decided to try this! First of…read moreall...I have struggled with my body image for my whole life. I have PCOS and it affects my weight(185#) and weird hair growth. I have anxiety which has caused other problems. I NEVER thought I could do something like this. Just talking to the lady to schedule the appointment was terrifying but she made me feel comfortable. Trying to walk into the building the day of the appointment was a whole other challenge. I talked myself into it and made it in through the door. I was greeted by the most kind women that assured me it would be a great expierience. One thing that helped was to know that they all had to expierience this when getting hired. They all know the feelings I was feeling that day. My make up was beautiful. I'd wear make up all the time if I could make it look like that! Then came time to take "it" all off somehow I did that, too! Once they started taking pictures it was so easy! She told me where to go, how to pose, where to put my had/arm etc etc. I couldn't believe how comfortable I was wearing nearly nothing! I ended up purchasing all of the photos at the end on a drive. Was it expensive...well yeah. They work hard! Was it worth it...100%. My husband's reaction was priceless. 1st thing he said was that he's always seen these on facebook but never thought I would do that. For his 30th birthday I had surprised him with a trip to his first michigan game and bought him an authentic jersey. I wore that jersey for part of the photo shoot. I also took a few other photos in a bralette and panties. My advise...if you ever thought this would be neat but not sure if you could then just do it!!

I cannot recommend Emily enough! I was looking for a photographer that was willing to work with me…read morefor a surprise proposal that I had planned. I researched other photographers and spoke to a handful, but from the start Emily was professional but also fun and extremely easy to work with. I shared my ideas with her and as the day drew closer she realized that due to the season or time of the day, some of the shots would probably not work out. She had a ton of great suggestions that were even better than what I had planned. Emily got some great candid shots of me proposing to my girlfriend, and then we went on a photo shoot around Chicago. After the proposal Emily was great at making sure that we stuck to our schedule, checking and giving us suggestions to make sure the photos looked well, and capturing great light and backgrounds across the city. Emily got us our photos really quickly, and we were blown away by how great they ALL were. We've been very happy and proud to show off our proposal photos, and everyone has loved them. I can honestly say that my proposal would not have turned out as great as it did without Emily! Thanks Emily!!

I wanted to do something a little outside of my comfort zone so I went ahead and booked -- I was a little nervous before hand but Liz & Rosie made me feel so at ease right away, from the moment I stepped inside the door. By the time we started shooting it felt like I was just hanging out with an old friend -- before i knew it we were looking through dozens of STUNNING photos! More important than the photos, though, was that I left feeling better about myself than I have in months and that feeling has been carrying on for days already. Truly cannot thank these ladies enough.

I booked a boudoir session with Magdalena to get some photos as a wedding present for my fiancé…read more Before the session, Magdalena sent detailed instructions on what to expect and how to prepare. The morning of the session I had also booked hair and makeup through someone she recommended, and their services were great! The session itself was also wonderful. Despite the fact that I had never done something along the lines of boudoir before, Magdalena gave a lot of instruction on how to pose and ensure my facial expressions also conveyed the right tone. She stopped to show me photos along to way so i could see how they were turning out. She promptly shared the unedited proofs with me, and they were all so good it was so hard to decide which ones I liked the best!

Turns out, it was an absolute gift to ME (also blew his mind). I left feeling more beautiful & empowered than ever, & that was BEFORE I saw the pictures. Cara is not only an exceptionally talented artist, but an exceptional person & brought out a side of self love in me I didn't know existed. Then, I got the pictures. Shy me turned into a supermodel (minimal retouching needed) Seriously, I could not believe it was me. I cherish the photos, & I went back two more times for pregnancy shoots which were just as amazing as the boudoir. Book this experience, whether introvert/extrovert, single, dating, engaged, pregnant, no matter your age, it is worth every single penny & more.

Her rave about creating her own book with Cara and how beautiful it made her feel inspired me to inquire myself. Cara carried me gently through the process of choosing the right concept and look for my book as a gift for my husband. But it was also a gift for myself. She assisted me with choosing the lingerie that suited me best and provided hair/make-up professionals. I felt so beautiful during our shoot, which was conducted so professionally. I always felt comfortable and in control of how I wanted to be presented. My husband was completely thrilled with the results and treasures the photos along with the idea that I stepped out of my comfort zone to produce something we will have forever. I can't recommend Cara and her skills and talents highly enough!
