About six months ago I got it in my head I wanted to do a boudoir shoot. I am in no way a classic…read morecandidate - 57 years old, 6 feet tall, boy body, nobody's idea of a pinup girl. Did my google searching for photographers in Houston and contacted about a dozen. Perhaps half responded they weren't available, and half didn't respond. However, one adorable young lady in Austin (3 hours away), Julia Vie of Vivian's Muse, said she was very excited about shooting me! We exchanged several emails about the process and logistics and had an extended phone chat. My trepedation morphed into excitement and anticipation. Let's do this!! The big day! Julia shot perhaps 400 photos in an hour or so, all the while offering instruction, incredible encouragement and showing me what she had captured in her viewfinder. All with a monster camera and first class professional lighting. We shot on the couch, on the stairway, in the window, on the bed. Woah, so exhilerating! Nervousness was gone and my inner goddess had taken over. I'm not one for exaggeration but this was truly one of the best hours of my life. Back the next morning to review and select proofs. Oh no, her computer jammed up, wasn't happening. No problem in the digital age. We had more girly chat, comparing notes on all of the fun we had had the preceding day. A few days later the proofs arrived via email. I was blown away. OH MY! That cannot possibly be me. But...it is! Being a goddess, even for a short while, really gets in your head. And stays there. Who would have thought the idea of having a little fun by trying something different would turn into a life changing event? Thank you so very, very much Julia! And, girls, if you have any lingering doubts about treating yourself to this experience, all I can say is do not delay, call Julia today! Hugs, Michelle

She did a great job easing my nerves, since I'm her Aunt, but we ended up with some stunning pictures to mark my 50 year old milestone. I recommend getting your pictures done in all stages of your life from your 20's on up so you have a professional collection of yourself to reflect upon. Don't put it off another day, book with Julia and see just how beautiful you are!

If I could give her more stars- I would. I inquired about boudoir photo shoot from a couple of…read morephotographers but everyone was out of my price range but Lindsey had a Valentine special that I had to jump on. On my original appointment date, I was ill and couldn't get out of bed and contacted Lindsey and she was so understanding and allowed me to rebook. I had to cancel my 2nd appointment because the roads were still too dangerous (black ice) to travel on, so I had to rebook AGAIN and Lindsey was so SWEET, NICE, and UNDERSTANDING. I could not be more thankful for her. The entire photo shoot experience was amazing. She was knowledgeable and professional and I was so comfortable in her present. I was never made to feel insecure and she allow me to express my femininity. I felt like I was in the present of a close friend. If you decide to do a nude/boudoir photo shoot, I would HIGHLY recommend her. The photos turned out better than I could have imagine.

She captures beauty artistically, even with paint pouring, which I couldn't pass up, to create an unforgettable photo shoot journey. But that's not all, she helps to create that experience into a photo album to be treasured forever.

Natalie did an amazing job posing and knowing exactly how to put me in positions that would enhance my figure and make me feel like the sexy vixen I am. As an athlete I wasn't in the best shape and I was frustrated by that, but her coaching and cheering me along made me forget all about the body parts I could complain about.

For years, I've struggled with body insecurity, and at 42, I have noticed unwanted changes that…read morehave only amplified those insecurity feelings. Despite my husband constantly reassuring me of my beauty, I've never believed it myself. This is why I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try to capture what I my eyes could not see. I never imagined I would do a boudoir shoot, but I am so incredibly happy I did. Finding the right photographer was super easy. After a quick Google search for boudoir photographers, came across Jrenee Boudoir's website. From the moment I read Jess's about us page, I knew she was the one. I could tell she would be able to capture the essence of what I was looking for, while making me feel comfortable, and I was absolutely right! The entire planning process was super easy, from booking the appointment to the initial phone call with Jess. She guided me through every step, ensuring I felt prepared and at ease. On the day of the shoot, it felt as though I was having a photoshoot with a long-time friend. I was so comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire session. When I walked out of the studio, I felt so PROUD of myself. My goal was to achieve a casual sexy look, and that is exactly what I got. When I saw the pictures, I was in absolute awe. I was so BEAUTIFUL and SEXY, I could not believe it was ME!! I love, love, love my pictures, the album I received is perfect. When I am 80 years old, I will be looking back at the pictures to remind myself of how HOT I am/was! I genuinely could look at these pictures all day long! I am so glad I had this experience. Thank you Jess!

My photo shoot with Anna was so much fun! I came in with a variety of outfits and accessories and…read moreshe became giddy at the possibilities. She helped to pick out the best outfit combinations. She had a variety of poses that worked great for my body type. She made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. I can remember how long the shoot was but I wished it could go on for days. When I reviewed the proofs they were beautiful but I felt like a model after the subtle touch ups. She over accomplished my goal of helping me to bring the sexy back. I highly recommend her for anytime you need to boost your confidence and you will have gorgeous pictures to last a lifetime.

I went to the appointment not knowing what to expect and what I got out of the experience was absolutely amazing! I arrived early to have my hair and makeup done, and it was well worth it to have in the package. Amy talked me through the shoot, helped me with outfits and poses. This started out as a gift for my husband but quickly turned out to be more for me then him. It was the I've ever done as a gift. I felt so comfortable, more comfortable in my skin then I have in a long time. I will refer anyone and EVERYONE to Betty Blue Boudoir! WELL WORTH IT AND AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!

There are not enough words to explain how amazing of an experience it was to work with Amy. I did a…read morelot of research on photographers initially before deciding that I would fly from Chicago to Texas so I could have Amy do my boudoir shoot. Amy's talent is out of this world. I was so scared going into the shoot (as it was my first) but Amy made me feel completely comfortable, she was great when I had questions or needed direction and I almost forgot what I was doing since I was having so much fun. After leaving the shoot, I had a sense of confidence that I had never felt before. And then after seeing the photos it just made me feel 100X more confident! I am SO glad I decided to go with Amy as my boudoir photographer. If your questioning if all the $$ is worth it. I swear IT IS. I cannot wait to show my fiance the photos in September, I am sure he will absolutely love them as much as I do. I plan on coming to Amy to do my anniversary shoots in the future!

A boudoir shoot was on my bucket list, but I felt so awkward and nervous about doing one. When I…read morefound Laura's website and read about her outdoor boudoir shoots, I let out a breath of relief. It felt like: "Okay, this woman really GETS it." I signed up for a boudoir shoot with Laura, and every step of the process was affirming, positive, and professional. Laura is a master at her craft, and she made the whole experience so fun. At our initial consult, she gave me ideas for outfits, she knew the perfect location that we could use, and she encouraged me to text her with any questions along the way. She was so down-to-earth and positive that my nervousness washed away - I almost forgot we were taking intimate photos of me! She knows how to make you feel relaxed. The day of the shoot, she played early 2000's hip-hop music from a Bluetooth speaker and we just had fun. I was stiff and awkward at the beginning, and she knew exactly how to pose me and what to say to help me loosen up and enjoy the moment. By the end of the shoot, I felt so powerful and beautiful and comfortable in my skin that it didn't even matter if other people saw us. And of course, all of the photos turned out amazing If you're considering an Austin boudoir experience - contact Laura!

I had just turned 40 and had been grappling with post partum depression and dealing with big…read morechanges and challenges-- having just moved from NYC to Austin and starting over with a new life in a new town with a newborn and toddler in tow. I felt like I really need to recenter and focus on making myself happy. I committed myself to fitness, working on my mental and physical state and wanted to celebrate my bad ass post partum body after baby with beautiful photographs outdoors in this new town that's now home. I found Laura Saucedo with Inspire Boudoir online as I was researching outdoor boudoir photographers. Her work really spoke to me and after meeting with her (a fellow mama who could empathize with my motherhood journey) it felt like we were friends and I could totally get naked with her. Hahaha! I had the most empowering, liberating, and amazing experience being shot nude in the waters of Krause Springs with Laura (which she has private access to during their off season which felt so lucky having the place all to ourselves!). She was so much fun to hang out with, with her white girl dancing (to help make things lighthearted and fun) and her positive, fluid vibes (go with the flow, accommodating changes, being organic, and embracing the day and whatever temperature, lighting and elements came with it). It was 70 degrees in December and the sun was shining at noon but the water was frigid cold.. and I am deathly afraid of deep water and can't swim but wanted to take photos under the waterfall (which required swimming). I packed a kick board to help me get to the rock landing under the waterfall but was overcome by the freezing cold water and compounded by my fear of drowning and was clutching onto the tree roots for dear life... but something from within overcame my fear and I pushed away from the side and got to the landing under the waterfall! Yay!!!!! And Laura was able to take these majestic and magical photos under the waterfall and in the spring that day! This experience taught me so much about the importance of not having to be perfectly planned, the grace in being adaptable and the beauty in that. Laura is an incredibly gifted photographer, such an amazing light and being to be around and her work is profound, timeless and empowering. It was the absolute best gift I could have ever given myself (and my husband!), commemorating my 40th birthday and I highly recommend Laura with my whole heart! She's worth every penny and even gives back to endearing causes. I love that so much and I love Laura so much! Thank you for the amazing photos and the memorable experience that I will cherish for a lifetime!

I was shocked by how quickly she was able to turn the preview photos around, how many there were, and how beautifully they captured our perfect day.

Needless to say I'd absolutely work with her again not only cause the photos were great but she's so nice and professional.
