If you want beautiful photographs, I am sure you will find no better than Midwest Life shots. The…read morepictures were gorgeous and the photography sessions were painless. I would love to give them 5 stars all around, but unfortunately the business side of things was not so smooth. I recommend reading your contract carefully and making a copy of it.

Alexandre made us feel very relaxed and comfortable. He was a perfect balance of hands off, but also supportive in providing feedback and suggestions for shots. We really appreciated this about his style of photography. He was extremely prepared and had obviously done alot of pre-work in researching good locations around the area we had suggested. He took the time to get a wide variety and strong quality of pictures. And we really appreciated not feeling rushed or held to a strict time-constraint. The whole process felt very organic. I cannot recommend Alexandre more highly. He is a true artist and we are very thankful for his time, consideration, and professionalism!

We hired John to photograph our wedding and were so pleased with his work that we again hired him for a one year anniversary session. We liked that John is very professional and really easy to get along with. He is incredibly tech-savvy, often communicating with us through e-mail and meeting with us through Skype (we live in Iowa, but were married in Minnesota). His style is to capture the emotion and feeling of the event in motion.

John is a professional artist who creates beautiful work and will make you look great in his work. We're so glad we hired John!

I found Liz at the Rochester Unveiled bridal show back in January. I was toying around with the…read moreidea of boudoir photos as a wedding gift for my fiancé but I was on the fence until I met Liz. She is easy to talk to and has a professional yet fun demeanor which helped me decide to book my mini session with her. My wedding is in September so I had my boudoir photo shoot with Liz just a few weeks ago. First of all, Liz's guide of what to expect and lingerie and accessory tips were a godsend! I was really at a loss of what to buy that would be best for my curvy body and would make me feel beautiful and comfortable. I would have never thought to wear a bodysuit but Liz recommended them for curvy women and she was absolutely right! My bodysuit accentuated my curves and looked killer in the photos. Her recommendation of cheeky/Brazilian underwear instead of thongs was also really flattering to my figure, I would have never gone with those as I am used to wearing thongs. My other outfits included a fitted teddy, bridal bra and panty set, and of course a corset with thigh highs and garters for a more risqué look. DSW has a lot of great shoes for boudoir in their clearance section to keep it more affordable. I used earrings and bracelets I already had but after looking at my photos afterward it's not noticeable or really needed. If I were to do it again, I think some beautiful bracelets would be the only thing I would focus on. Manicures, pedicures, waxing, and tanning are all nice touches but not needed. These things might make you feel more beautiful but to keep it more affordable I would skip. I highly recommend adding the extra hour to your session. I am so happy I did this because I was able to add a few more outfits and really ease in and get comfortable with taking the photos. I had tons of great photos to choose from at the end! I was hoping for just a few decent ones but I was pleasantly surprised how beautiful they all turned out and I attribute that to having more time with Liz to get comfortable and try out different poses and facial expressions. Makeup was included in the package. I added hair for $25 since I'm not good at that. Lindsay was amazing and gave me beautiful wavy curls and sexy makeup plus she was super sweet and fun to talk to and really puts time into making sure everything is perfect. Starting with hair and makeup plus a delicious mimosa really helped me relax before the photo shoot. Did I mention how great the studio is?!? Modern, sleek decor with a great music system all contributed to the mood of the shoot. During the shoot and when viewing the final results, I was really impressed at Liz's great eye for capturing gorgeous shots. She is imaginative and a pro that really is a specialist in this type of photography. I'm still feeling beautiful and more confident weeks after the shoot. I just thought of this as a neat gift for my fiancé but I got much more of it than I could have imagined. I couldn't have asked for a better boudoir experience!!!!

My 3 year old grandson was totally charmed by Sarah and cooperated with her during the photo shoot, which was a miracle. She offered lots of options for finished prints and photo collages/portraits (on canvas, metal, various frames, etc.) and she was super helpful in assisting family members to make good choices for walls as well as for horizontal surface display. She was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire process. She was not pushy or overbearing in any way, however her experienced advice was very important from start to finish. I highly recommend her photographic services.
