The Boudoir Beauty

I was referred to the Boudoir Beauty by 2 friends who had been there. They had great things to say, and I wanted to use a place based on referral if possible. I have recently lost a lot of weight, so I was trying to do something to show off my new body and feel good about myself. My body is far from ‘perfect’, so don’t think you have to be a model to do this. I am very uncomfortable showing off my body (no matter what shape I’m in) so I was very nervous about this appointment. I was imagining photographers and crews and brightly lit rooms and being so uncomfortable. It wasn’t like that at all. First, when you make the appointment, give yourself some time to make sure you have outfits & accessories. Bring tall high heels even if they’re uncomfortable. You won’t have to wear them long. You’ll be asked to choose the sets you want before your appointment, but she will help you pick something that looks better with your outfits when you get there if you want. Get the hair and makeup option too. It’s worth it. Her girl will do your hair and makeup so fast, you won’t believe it! Your everyday hair and makeup routine aren’t what you want for this. You’ll look so great when she’s finished! The photographer is the only person that was present. She will show you how to pose, tell you what to do with your mouth, eyes and everything else. If you don’t think you have a ‘sexy face’, just wait! You do! I felt very comfortable throughout the session. She is completely reassuring about everything, and she will talk you through every step. There’s no brightly lit rooms to make you feel weird. The lights are dim. She will put lights on you, which may get a little warm, but you won’t feel exposed. You will get several shots taken in a variety of angles, and it will all be over pretty fast. I did 4 outfit changes, and I was shocked at how quickly it went by. I got back around 300 photos to look at. She gives them back in 3 different color exposures, and does a layer of air brushing. I had some bruises that I was worried about on my legs that didn’t show up in my proofs. You will have to pick and pay for your merchandise at the beginning of your session before the proofs come back. It’s hard to know what to pick as there are several choices, but just go with what you think you will like the most and do it. You can add pages to the books if you end up liking more pics than it comes with. The only thing to really keep in mind about this is that it will take several weeks to get your proofs back, and then a few more to get your album. If you are thinking about doing this as a surprise for something specific like an anniversary, don’t wait! Book early. My friend got the app for the phone, and so did I. It’s an add on to whatever package you get. I’ve never done anything like this before. It’s a bit out of character for me. However, I would do it again and recommend to anyone who wants to feel sexy! She has great photography skills, so even if you have low confidence like me, she will show you how awesome you really are.

I see a reviews made by actual clients, but I am here to share my experience as the recipient of thier work ie. Husband of thier client.
I will keep this brief, obviously I was attracted to my wife when we met and through our first few years of marriage. But lets be honest after 2 kids and 10 years later, that feeling kind of dulled. But after seeing her photoshoot that same «attraction» resufaced (like a brick to the face) and totally reminded me how smoking hot she really is. She looked even better than those models you see on night club magazines. The pictures where in good taste no sleeze type thing at all. I would highly recommend this experience if you understand where I am coming from, I would say more but my wife is wearing the same outfit she did in her shoot. so sorry gotta go.

I went into the photo shoot a little nervous. Raquel, who did my makeup made me look gorgeous! I couldn’t believe that I could actually pull off a smokey eye! Who knew?!! Everyone was so friendly, honest and down to earth! I had some ideas and they totally made them happen! I just got to see my pictures for the first time this week and WOW! I can not wait to see the final product! The pictures are beautiful! This was an amazing and liberating experience and I’m sure this will be a well received anniversary gift!

IM SPEECHLESS, and that doesn’t happen often:-). I’m going to make a long story short and share with you a rather disturbing email I received from this photography studio. (Very last few lines of this story) I was trying to schedule an appointment to have Boudior photos taken. I scheduled an appointment for a specific day and time and was told the appointment was mine as long as I went on the website and paid for it through the studio website. When I decided to purchase a Living Social discounted session that’s when the trouble started. I was being given a complete and total run around and told there is this restriction and that restriction with discounted sessions and felt like I was being treated like they were doing me a favor by accepting me as a discount session purchasing client. I had spent $ 400.00 preparing for this shoot when they started playing games with me and I had finally had it with them. Here are the disturbing emails that followed: (I’ve included mine so you can be the judge)
Me: I am really at a loss as to what happened to my initially scheduled appointment. The first email that was sent to me (attached) said that you had a Sept 12 at 12:00 appointment. I’ve already spent $ 400 on this shoot so needless to say I’m not very happy and I haven’t even had a chance to set foot in your studio yet. Is there any way to get my $ 75.00 back at this point? I’m not even sure I would feel comfortable coming in there now
Studio sent at 1:18pm: We can do the LS session only this Friday as we had a different client just reschedule in the same time slot to another Friday. If you want this Friday at 11:15am, I need to know right away as I am about to release it to another client. She is calling back around 3:00pm
Me receiving the message at 7:22pm:So y’all just screwed me out of my appointment yet again!!! This is not how anyone I want to give my business to conducts themselves. As far as I’m concerned you are practicing in an unethical manner. Thanks for nothing but aggravation and dissappointment! That appointment was mine to begin with! Because I couldn’t get back with you today by 3:00 you gave it away for a second time!
Studio: ignore your rude comments as it is really unprofessional and not warranted!!! I think you better check your in box or spam. I will resend the email we sent you confirming your appointment that we made an exception for you even though we do not take the appointments on Fridays. It is up to you whether you keep you appointment or not. We do ask that if you do decide to keep your appointment, that a professional level of courtesy be maintained with our staff. Our actions today were to help and accommodate you, as no time did we behave towards you in the manner that you behaved in your email. Your last email was very uncalled for and quite aggressive. We will not tolerate this kind of behavior in our studio or with any of our staff members if you choose to keep the appointment. We will maintain a very positive and professional manner when you come in should you choose to keep your requested appointment.
Me:I would like to officially let you know that I will be declining to do any further business with your studio, or using my voucher. I will not accept «fine print» that was not disclosed and be given the «run-​around» due to such. Your definition of aggression is simply me holding you as a merchant to a certain standard that I would expect of a place that engages in customer service. I never needed to know about your problems and scheduling with members of your staff. I only needed to know that the appointment I scheduled was the one that I received without all this hassle and accusation. Thanks again!
Studio: Thank you for your input on our customer service. Here is ours… We bent over backwards to accommodate you as mentioned above with multiple emails and phone calls. This situation only went south when you made an assumption and sent a nasty email to us last night, not before. You jumped to conclusions and overreacted. As a customer yes you absolutely have a right to customer service, which you received by multiple emails, phone calls and schedule adjustments trying to accommodate your request. But we also have rights as a business. As a customer, you do not have the right to abuse a business and send nasty emails about us «screwing you» when you clearly did not have the facts. This was your accusation not ours. This went array because of your actions not ours, so take responsibility for your part as well. I too have said my peace and am happy with your decision. Hopefully you will take this to heart and be aware of your interactions with others. We will say a prayer for you this morning at our morning meeting.

Awesome experience I had lots of fun doing my photo shoot. Jill was very professional may me feel very comfortable and fabulous. Make-​up artist Raquel is amazing. I definitely would recommend boudoir beauty for anyone looking for a gift for that someone special.

As a gift to (myself) and my wife I purchased a photo shoot for her. For the session I also got her the make-​up and hair add on (well worth it). On the day of the shoot I dropped her off a little early at the studio 8−27−14. Keep in mind NO MALES are allowed in the studio for the session. I had no problem with that because I wanted to be surprised to see the photos when I get them.
They are an all female staff to help ease any resevations you may have and remember no extra bodies are allowed in during the session. This is her time.
After wards, I asked my wife how did the photo shoot go? She had nothing but praise about the whole thing. From the time she walked in to the end of the 2 hr shoot. Everyone was very professional. Jill the photographer kept things upbeat and fun for her.
They really made her feel special.
When I went back to pick her up she was still all dolled up from the session. She looked amazing. Her makeup artist Raquel did a great job. I can’t hardly wait to get the photo book she picked out so I can see the photos we should get in 4 to 7 weeks. (a little long but I understand they are busy)
I will have to up date this review when I see them. I am expecting to see top notch photos because I have seen the examples they have posted and they all look great.
Thanks
