Real-Talk Review for Bella Rosa Boudoir Ladies, listen. If you've ever even thought about doing a boudoir shoot, stop overthinking it and book Bella Rosa Boudoir in Auburn. This was one of the most empowering, confidence-boosting experiences of my life. From the second I walked in, Taylor (the photographer) made me feel like an absolute queen. She picked outfits and colors that brought out my eyes and personality perfectly. Whitney, the makeup artist, worked her magic -- soft, natural, and beautiful -- I looked like me, just the "glammed-up goddess" version. Michael and Brittney, the owners, have created such a warm, classy, judgment-free space that celebrates women at every stage of life. The studio is stunning, they have racks of outfits, shoes that would make Lady Gaga jealous, and an atmosphere that just screams self-love. I walked in feeling a little nervous and walked out standing taller, smiling bigger, and feeling proud of who I am. I just picked my photos and I can't wait to see them finished. If you're looking for a sign to do something for you -- this is it. You will not regret it. read more

Do it! Is it expensive, yep! Is it worth it, also yep! It's an investment you need to make for yourself. They have everything you will ever need and more, outfits tons, jewelry ton, sets of all kinds, also tons. Make up - check! Hair - check! I just finished looking at my photos for the first time and I'll tell ya, it was one of those realizations that I need to look at myself differently. Self love is hard but sooooo worth it. I learned a lot too. This time I was just along for the ride no real expectations just kind of whatever they said I did. Next time, yes, there will be a next time. I would definitely pick out my own outfits from the 1000 that was available, I would go in with photos of hair and makeup I wanted, and also some ideas of specific photos I wanted. If you read this far, do it. You'll thank yourself later. read more

This was my 2nd session only I did it with my husband. I didn't think he would like it but when it was over. He told me he had a lot of fun and enjoyed it. was also glad he did it. Taylor made it so much fun and we enjoyed working with her. If your on the fence about, jump and make that leap. you will be glad you did. and hubby's too. It will make wonderful memories later and might even bring you closer. The team there is fun to work with and they make you feel amazing. Don't think about it, just do it! I promise afterwards, you'll want to do it again. read more

Oh my gosh what an amazing experience!!! I was so nervous at first but the team so quickly melted away all my nerves! They made me feel so comfortable, sexy, confident. The make up and hair turned out amazing!! The photosession itself was so comfortable. It jusy really was all around an amazing experience. I cannot wait for my viewing appointment i was very hesitant to do it just because I've never done a bodouir photoshoot. But I am soooo glad I did it. And their studio is amazing! So many awesome places to pose at. I really cant say enough about this experience. I will definitely come back one day and do it again PS: DONT let the fears stop you. Im not a skinny girl. Im overweight and for the longest time didnt think something like this would be possible for me or that I would be able to do the poses. But I was so wrong. I felt so sexy and the poses that they picked for me totally worked. Im not saying it was easy. I definitely had some muscle shakes at the end but honestly it wasn't that bad. And their compliments felt so genuine while they were shooting me. It was a beautiful experience. Thank you Bella Rosa team for making me feel so BEAUTIFUL and like a queen!!! read more

I won a giveaway and was blessed to be able to do the destination photo shoot in Bodega Bay. The photographers were amazing, the location couldn't have been better and I LOVE my pictures! read more

I was first introduced to boudoir a couple years ago, when my girl friend did some pictures for her now husband! I was to nervous and was always waiting till I lost weight but then recently came to the conclusion that I am happy with who I am and now was the time! I recently got engaged and wanted to do something that we would both enjoy! It was the best experience! I have never felt so pretty and empowered before! The staff is so amazing and felt like I knew them forever by the end of the shoot! I wish I could this yearly because it was such a great experience! I can't say enough good things to give this justice!!! Love love this boudoir, all their staff and the experience! read more

Had a wonderful experience with Bella Rosa Photography. From getting outfits picked, having my hair and makeup done and making sure I felt comfortable the whole time. I however was a contest winner and the only thing that was included was the actual hair, makeup, shoot and a free item with a purchase. If I wanted to get any of my photos I had to pay a minimum of 2,000 for only 20 photos. As much as it would have been nice to be able to get them, it's kind of false advertising to say someone won... since you still have to pay to even get any photos. Again the team was very sweet, but I drove over 3 hours only to be disappointed that I'm required to purchase. read more

I went in sick to my stomach. "What the hell was I doing? This isn't for fat girls, turn the fuck around and walk out that door Cheyenne!!!" Britt's welcoming smile wouldn't let that happen though. So I put on a smile and faked it till I made it. The session was indescribable. Before the end of the first outfit I felt comfortable, welcome, and most importantly ACCEPTED! So comfortable I let my belly out and went topless for my last outfit! Leaving I was on cloud nine. I actually felt truly pretty as me. It wasn't until my viewing that the self love really started though. I went into the viewing thinking hopefully they'll be at least one picture I like. Instantly my eyes were opened to how truly beautiful I really am. HOLY SHIT? Was that really me? Why was I never able to see myself in this way before?? I am beautiful! I am worthy of love and acceptance! Since then I have done 4 more shoots as well as group shoots. Attended any event they throw and even helped host some. I NEED for other women to have their eyes opened the way mine were. This self love thing is real and absolutely everyone deserves to feel it!! You can be big and beautiful!! Beautiful literally comes in all shapes, sizes, colors, ages, and genders. I don't think the Bella Rosa team will ever fully understand how grateful I am for them. My entire mindset and thus life has changed in the last 3 years. All because they believed in me enough to start believing in myself. Thank you Bella rosa!! read more

I had an amazing experience getting my photos taken by this wonderful group of people. They made me feel beautiful and although I was nervous, they made me feel at ease. Renee did my hair and makeup and it was awesome! I am so sorry I can't remember my photographer's name, but she made sure I was comfy and the poses she had me do were awesome! Mike and Brittany - you are amazing and your team of people are amazing! read more

I had the amazing opportunity to do a photo shoot at the new San Diego location. It was amazing! I was beyond nervous when I first walked in. This was my first time doing any type of photo shoot like this. Brittany and Sabrina were amazing and made me feel so comfortable. The hair/ make up artist was extremely talented and my make up photographed very well. It looked perfect in the photos. I am a recent breast cancer survivor so part of this experience was really therapy for me to help me regain some sense of confidence and see myself as beautiful and appreciate what my body has been through. This experience was everything I needed it to be and more. I will definitely return! read more

I never in my life thought I would ever do a Boudior shoot but I did and it was the best experience ever with Brittany and Mike!!! I wouldnt choose any other place to go to. They make you feel so good and when you see your photos you will fall inlove with yourself all over again!!! Thank you both for this experience...I will never forget it...and I WILL be back to do another session read more

They charge you take pics and you have to pay extra money to get any of the pics. I emailed them and went on their website and never got oh did any prices listed anyywhere and never heard back! I found out from a friend they charge $500 for just taking pics and then you got ta pay extra to get any of them?! I feel like they prey on women who lost their confidence by telling them it's "empowering"! I'd rather not pay that much money and not get any oof the photos! They'll also ask you if they can use your photos for advertising! If you want to feel sexy, I suggest taking a pole dancing class! At least you'll get something for your money! read more

Brittany and Mike are so fun to work with! Doing a boudoir shoot can really be intimidating as none of us are perfect, but they really make you feel like a goddess. They are enthusiastic about getting the best angles and assets that you want to show off and hide the things you don't. They make you feel relaxed so your shots aren't so posed. The sexy feeling you get after your shoot is one like no other. Even if you're not doing boudoir and just want family photos or special occasion photos which I've done also, you still feel like a model. They pick great locations for outside photos and are open to any locations you pick as well. I've had Brittany do my boudoir photos that were just for fun, my graduation photos and my Christmas pictures and I've loved the end result of them all. For the boudoir, I recommend getting a calendar and now they offer picture books which are also amazing! They're affordable and flexible and make you feel and look awesome! Highly recommend. read more

100% recommend booking a shoot with Bella Rosa photography! I definitely had nerves going into my shoot, but the moment I stepped foot through their door, I was welcomed by the most enthusiastic smiles of my soon to be photographers. From start to end, it is all about you and making sure you see what everyone else sees. If you haven't already booked a shoot, I would absolutely suggest doing so!! Thank you Bella Rosa team for making me feel the sexiest and most confident I have ever felt! read more

One of the best experiences Iv ever had while getting my photos taken! Britany and Mike are so professional and truly gifted at what they do. After giving birth to my son, I lost all confidence in myself. As a single mother, I never had that significant other reminding me how strong and beautiful I really was. This dream team didn't just take my photo, they helped give me my confidence back! read more

Booking a boudoir shoot can be one of the most nerve wrecking things a woman can go through. If this is your first time or are even experienced and have done this before, then you will not regret booking your shoot with Bellarosa photography. Mike and Britt are so professional and truly have a keen eye when it comes to capturing a woman's beauty. I'm not sure how they do it, but they literally work with magic and create art. They do a great job at making you feel really comfortable, when I arrived Britt was so friendly and the makeup artist did such an amazing job. I literally looked like a celeb after my makeup was done. Having these pictures accomplished will be one of the greatest timeless gifts I can give. Truly satisfied with the outcome of this photo shoot and will definitely do it again and recommend it to a friend. read more

I would recommend Brittany and Mike to anyone and everyone! I had a boudoir shoot and they made me feel instantly comfortable with them and feel more confident about my 1 year post partum body(that mommy tummy!). They are so encouraging and gave me such nice feedback while posing that I felt awesome! Loved getting my makeup done, getting a chance to wear some nice lingerie and getting to reconnect with that sexy confident side of me again. read more

Mike and Brittany made me feel so comfortable when getting my pictures done. I will only recommend these two amazing and talented people. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else. This husband and wife team are truly amazing behind the lens. They make you laugh and smile during your shoot, and that made me feel so much more comfortable during my shoot. read more

Had a great experience here, dynamite husband and wife team did my boudoir photos! I drove over the hill from Reno as this duo came highly recommended. I'm so glad I did. They were accommodating with my schedule even when I had a snafu or two including getting stopped on the 80 for an hour in traffic. The studio is very private and I felt very comfortable there. They provided a make up artist so I didn't have to worry about my regular make up looking washed out on camera, they took care of that for me which was one less concern. Britney went through the outfits I had brought and helped me choose what would look best on camera. Any nerves that I had disappeared with their professionalism and natural calm demeanor. They've obviously done this many times before and made it very easy and smooth. They even have space heaters in the rooms that you are posing in to keep you warm in your skivvies! I'll update later after I see my photos but I'm confident that everything is going to look great based on my experience so far. read more

Doing a budior photoshoot can be very intimidating and scary, you don't really know what to expect. Mike and Brittany are literally the best people to go to for this. They make you feel incredibly comfortable, and amazingly sexy. You feel confident and by the end of it, you realize you want to book more shoots. From the stunning make up, to the beautiful lingerie closet, Bella Rosa really is an experience EVERY woman should do. I know I'm recommending all of my friends to do this, whether it be for yourself, or your special someone. Thank you for making me feel beautiful Mike and Brittany! read more

I had the greatest time focusing on myself and being treated like a queen. Mike and Brittany made me feel like the prettiest woman in the world and complimented me left and right. I felt not only comfortable but their words of encouragement were what made my pictures fabulous. I WOULD recommend them to anyone and everyone. If you are looking for a confidence booster, or just want to take a day for yourself to share with someone special-DO IT! It was the best decision I have made and I do NOT regret anything what so ever about it. Every detail they thought of and again made me feel sooooo comfortable. I felt like we got to know each other on a personal level as well and I got to see how they worked as a couple (which was the sweetest). If you are feeling like "a guy taking your picture sounds weird when you are so vulnerable with your body"- it's so not even true. Mike did not make me feel uncomfortable for one second. I would 100% recommend them for every and all photos. If I didn't already have a photographer for my wedding-they would be the ones I choose because they are amazing and so sweet. There was no pressure at all and they worked with me which was the BEST part. Get these photos taken! It's totally worth it! read more
