I was 8 months pregnant and they offered me snacks and water while I was getting my hair and make up done by Ashlee Medina. While Ashlee was fixing my hair and face, Rachel and Ashley were finishing up with another client, both they both would come back and check on me periodically. Ashley was chatting with me, calming my nerves and keeping me distracted by talking about her wedding in California. Once my hair and makeup were done, I got changed into my first outfit I brought. They came in and we got started. I was so worried about not knowing how to pose or how to look "sexy" but Ashley and Rachel showed me just how to pose, and even accommodated it because of my pregnancy. Once I had used all the outfits I brought, they showed me their "client closet" stocked full of lingerie, shoes, jewelry and tulle for the clients to choose from. After picking out a couple of piece m, we got back to shooting. My final part of the shoot was a milk bath. They had me wrapped up in green tulle and lay in the tub, and that had this beautiful bouquet of flowers they places around me and took amazing pictures. When I was done and cleaned off, they gave me a little goodie bag. About a week and a half later, I got a text scheduling a time for me to come in and choose my product and pay. I got the 8x8 album with 20 pictures, and set up a payment plan to pay on the 1st and 15th of every month until paid off. I went today to pick up my album and it was wrapped in tissue paper, placed in a box, wrapped in bubble wrap, and in a nice tote. I opened my album and I was STUNNED! I had no idea how these ladies could turn an 8 month pregnant lady into something as hot and sexy as they did. I loved my experience so much that I decided to book another photoshoot now that I'm no longer pregnant, and I couldn't be more excited!!
