Back in February or March I saw and met with a representative at the Dulles Expo Center. This business is one of the attractions that caught my eye. Getting some photos taken with my wife could be a lot of fun. Doing nudes or something risky or out of our comfort zone would be fun. Talking to one of the representative gave good feeling and something I would like to try with my wife. I wish I could remember the name of the representative, but her name escapes me. I do remember some of the promotional photos I saw on this website and knew I had found the right business. Talking with this representative gave me the information and feeling that this business is worth doing. Doing business with them looks good because of the way the representative handled my questions.

She was very transparent and made me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the process. Ahead of my shoot she sent a questionnaire so that she could get a sense of the types of photos I was looking to take and my general comfort level, so that she could understand and capture my vision for this experience. I love the way my photos turned out and am so excited to get the final edits! Lili made the entire process from start to finish so easy. This has been such a wonderful experience and I will definitely recommend Femme Photography to any friend looking for this type of experience!

I decide to take them once I saw a former classmate did and how awesome they looked. Listen, this is an amazing experience. Confidence booster and women empowering. It is an investment. I was shocked at the ticket price but I still got them. I have a canvas in my bathroom that my husband loves. She offers keepsakes and more. Book Keyla. Very professional.

For my 40th birthday I decided to ignore the doubts and just go for it and, as luck would have it, I came across Donna's work on Instagram. I could feel her warmth through her infectious smile on her page and website, and all of the photos she took of her clients were amazing!! So, I decided to reach out and I'm glad I did. She made me feel comfortable from our very first meeting! She helped with picking the right lingerie for my body (and what would show best on camera) and she has a ready made hair style and make up team...she really takes the guesswork out of the whole process so that you can enjoy being in the moment. It's one of the best things I've ever done and I feel so amazing every time I look at my pictures!! Treat yourself to this amazing experience with Donna! The memories last a lifetime.

Holy. Smokes. Run, do not walk, to book Kellie for a glam session that will be unforgettable…read more I signed up for a session as a present to myself. My body has been through *a lot* and, instead of being unforgiving and critical of every little flaw, I chose to embrace how perfectly imperfect I am. I selected Kellie because she showcased *real* humans on her site (not just flawless, unattainable model types). I am so glad I did. Kellie immediately made me feel comfortable, confident, and ready for the session. She coached me through every step leading up to the big day (including making sure I ate a meal before I came....and reaffirming that skipping that meal would NOT make me look thinner)! She was fun, easy to work with, and cheered me through the entire photo shoot. The pictures are stunning.... she heard me say about a thousand times "that can't be me". It was me, and Kellie helped me see myself in a totally different way. I am beyond grateful for the work she does, and the confidence she inspires. In a world where we are always told we're not good enough, Kellie helps us see just how amazing we are.

Round 2.... Yeah, I said it because I'm worth it . I stand…read more10 toes on everything I said in my first review. Doing a boudoir session with Kelly and her team gives you this feeling of accomplishment, power, control and of course sexiness. Wild for just some photos, but man after your complete and I mean complete workout with her you come back after lunch and get that moment: The moment in Bridgeton when Penelope makes a grand entrance at Lady Danbury's ball debuting her new look. The BRIEF moment in Ever After when Danielle enters the Ball with the wings Da Vinci made for her. The moment in New Girl when Nick and Jess first kiss. The moment in the Notebook when Allie visits Noah's home after several years to see if he's okay. That's the feeling you get when Kelly shows you your photos. That catch your breath, don't cry, WOW, I can't believe this is really real beautiful moment. But I mean if you don't want to feel that way go on to your bargain-basement Boudoir .

Let me start by saying this was the best, scariest thing I have ever done. Before our wedding, my…read morehusband and I were discussing what we wanted to exchange during our "first look" at the wedding, and my husband was adamant that he wanted sexy photos. I, on the other hand, would rather drop dead than get dressed down in front of a camera. However, it was our wedding after all and we have been together over 11 years so I thought he deserves something special. So, with a big grain of salt and a whole lot of champagne, I showed up to my appointment at the Line Hotel. I have been to the hotel before, but in general, if you have the chance to book a shoot at this location I really would recommend it. It gives you a whole separate swanky feel. I went up to the room and Lauren was up there with the hair and make up artists. In general it was an absolute vibe. The girls were so friendly and pumped to make me feel beautiful, even though I was incredibly nervous. They asked me what I wanted done with my hair, and I indicated that old Hollywood waves for a more pinup girl look was what I think my husband would want most. They absolutely smashed it. After the hair and make up artist left, it was just Lauren and I. Queue the panic? NOPE! While I am a more curvy girl, Laura instructed me to strike several poses that felt very silly but ended up coming out incredible! She somehow captures a romantic but edgy feel, and there's nothing quite like the lighting that she uses to accentuate the absolute best of us. Her positive attitude, words of affirmation, and general chill attitude made the whole thing feel like I was a movie star. She never pushed me to do any more or less than I wanted to, never made me feel rushed, and helped decide which lingerie pieces would look the best. She's definitely worth the price and I cannot tell you how important it is to ORDER PRINTS. I'm admittedly not someone who orders them for other family or couple shoots I've done, but something about the way she put together the looks made it seem like the art it truly is. I also want to compliment Lauren prompt email responses, willingness to explain costs, and work with me to ensure I got exactly the product I wanted. Not only that, I put her in a bit of a time crunch because of the wedding I timing for the prints. Not only did she send me the photos in a fraction of the time she told me it would take, she also put together the album in 24 hours. No corrections needed- she's an absolute pro. I highly recommend everyone go to her, regardless of their own body image issues, fears, or trepidation. She truly is an artist and I cannot tell you enough good things about her and the experience. When the big day came and I was able to surprise my now-husband, I promise his jaw dropped. Even the day after the wedding, he was more interested in these shots than the ones our friends and family sent from the big day- HA! These photos are something my husband and I will always cherish. Thank you for helping me get over my fear and for making me feel beautiful, Lauren!

From scheduling the session, answering all my annoying questions, the actual day of the shoot, delivering my images 2 weeks earlier than expected (!), to hand delivering the most gorgeous printed album everything was just perfect. Lauren is an absolute dream to work with and her work shows how much she cares about women and showcasing their bodies. Book with Lauren now!! It doesn't matter where you are in your life (I did it as a single 31 year old) it's an absolute joy to celebrate yourself. You won't be disappointed!!

This is what Leslie is meant to be doing and I'm so grateful that I got to do it with her!…read more I have always wanted to do a 40th birthday boudoir photo shoot so I did an extensive google search for the right person. When I got to Lavish Boudoir I was in awe. These photos are beautiful. Sign me up! And I'm so glad I did. The whole process made me feel like a superstar. Started with a beverage, makeup done by a professional and a multiple outfit photoshoot throughout various places in the studio. The photographer, Leslie doesn't just take incredible photos, she also made the experience fun. Yes, at first it's odd to be in lingerie around someone you don't know, but because of Leslie and the professionalism of her company I was extremely comfortable and relaxed. Then the reveal of the photos was also a luxurious experience. To this day, I look at my photos and feel gorgeous and elated that I chose Lavish Boudoir.

I am beyond grateful to have been chosen for the Lavish Boudoir Body Love Project…read more I received VIP treatment from Leslie and her staff. I felt like a real supermodel. Lee did my hair and makeup creating a glamorous and flirty look. All I have to say is, watch out Tyra... you have some competition! They created a comfortable environment and helped me get in the mood with an upbeat music playlist that unleashed my inner diva. The overall experience was thrilling to say the least. I truly felt like a super model in New York shooting the cover of Vogue magazine. I was overwhelmed with joy when I saw the quality of the pictures. They were absolutely flawless and captured my inner beauty. I cried and said, "Wow, is that really me?!" I'm still in awe of the phenomenal photographic skill set Leslie possesses. She is a true artist. You might ask why I applied for the Lavish Boudoir Body Love Project. Well, my passion has always been plus size modeling and my dream is to one day be featured in a glitzy magazine or online representing a classy company like Lavish Boudoir. I was told when I met Leslie in person that I was picked sight unseen for this project. She loved my story. I spoke from my heart and here it is... I decided to change my life 4 years ago and make myself a priority. I learn how to live a sober and sassy life, one day at a time. My daughter Presli was my reason why. She deserves the world and I planned on giving it to her. I worked very hard to put all of my broken pieces back together. I learned to love myself and that I was worth it. My mission now is to empower other likeminded women and to lead by example. My favorite quote is " I love the woman I have become, because I fought to become her." I am turning 40 soon and I truly believe there is beauty in every age. I choose to love my body as it is right now and to celebrate my many accomplishments. I will never allow somebody to tell me I can't do something, not even myself. If you have a desire and it burns deep within your soul, I say go for it. Life is too short and none of us have the promise of tomorrow. I would like to thank Leslie at Lavish for the opportunity to share my story and to celebrate the next phase of my life... after all, 40 is fabulous and dreams really do come true. Forever a fan, Staci Lehman

I'd been considering doing a boudoir shoot for a while, and a special from Silk & Lace made me…read morefinally take the plunge. I'm so glad I did. My overall experience was amazing. I appreciated that there was a lot of communication and support leading up to shoot because I had never done anything like this before and was pretty apprehensive. Additionally, the actual shoot was phenomenal, and everyone I worked with was incredibly welcoming and put all of my nerves at ease. Amanda (the photography assistant) was the first person I encountered. She was so helpful and made sure I was comfortable. I also found it impressive how easily she anticipated the needs of my photographer, Jenny, throughout the shoot. They worked incredibly well together. My hair and makeup artist, Joie, was so fun and had great energy. It really was the best way to kick off the shoot, and I felt so good after she finished up with everything. Finally, Jenny was an incredible photographer. I was so worried about posing and my pictures looking too staged, but she really took the time to show each pose first (with very simple instructions to follow), which was very helpful. I never felt rushed, and she got some really amazing shots that I thought looked natural. As a whole, they all hyped me up and made me feel so confident and sexy. Truly a great experience. Even my reveal session was amazing from a customer lens. Cynthia showed me my pictures and was so patient while I tried to narrow them down. She gave helpful advice when asked, and I left feeling like I had a solid set of pictures picked out (though it was hard to narrow them down because there were so many great ones). I cannot recommend Silk & Lace enough!

I responded to an ad on Facebook for a discounted shoot, hoping to use the images as a gift for my…read morehusband. I spoke with an associate on the phone, she walked me through the process, told me pricing started at $950 and I wrongly assumed that much money would pay for digital images. After I paid a $200 non refundable deposit, I saw a price sheet that spelled out the specifics for keeping my images. Very expensive and very few digital images are included unless you spend thousands of dollars. I couldn't justify the cost of the experience for only keeping one print so I cancelled. If you're looking to do this only for the experience, I bet it would be amazing but I was hoping to keep the images as a gift.

10+ OMG, I could not wait to post a review for my recent boudoir photo shoot and to tell you all…read moreabout it! What an amazing experience that was! My girlfriends and I wanted an alternative to girl's night out and we decided to gift ourselves something out of the ordinary. We are all in different paths in our lives, but we all wanted to have fun creating new memories celebrating the women we are today. Sandra's experience behind the lens was such an asset as she was able to guide us thru poses that really complemented the contour of our bodies. Not only did she introduce us to a plethora of different concepts, she also listened to our ideas and really made them come to life. Everything from the hotel to the music to the complimentary champagne and strawberries was just perfect. In fact, we had so much fun that we are already planning our anniversary shoot next year! And the shots are INCREDIBLE! It is so hard to choose, we want them ALL! I could not recommend Sandra more! All you girlfriends out there, this is your moment to make it happen. We used to talk about wanting to do this, but now we cannot believe we waited so long. And trust me, who does not want a revenge body photo? Not this girl!
