I recently had my second shoot with Stephanie at Brooklyn Boudoir. The first was for my 40th birthday, and this one was a pregnancy shoot. I was so nervous the first time around, and Stephanie did an incredible job of answering all my questions beforehand, soothing my fears, and making me feel comfortable in front of the camera. BUT, I have to say, coming in this second time without any of those hangups was absolute gold. We had so much fun just playing and creating incredible shapes and poses with my body. I had a few ideas of what I wanted to focus on and Stephanie did that beautifully, but added so many more ideas. I am thrilled with the gallery that came out of this shoot, and can't wait to find an excuse to do another. Her work is gorgeous and looking at the photos makes me feel like a work of art, boosting my confidence every time I see them. read more

I had a wonderful experience working with Stephanie. I initially reached out because I was looking to update my professional digital presence, although she specializes in boudoir photography, she was fantastic to work with for branding photos. From the start, Stephanie was incredibly organized and thoughtful. She shared helpful prep info ahead of the shoot and made sure I felt comfortable and prepared going in. During the sessions she gave clear guidance on posing and expression, which made the whole process feel natural fun and relaxed - especially helpful if you're someone who isn't used to being in front of the camera! What stood out most was how supportive and encouraging she was throughout the shoot. She has a great eye for lighting and small adjustments that make a big difference in how the photos turn out. The final images came out beautiful - polished, natural and exactly the kind of elevated look I was hoping for. From beginning, middle and end, Stephanie creates a comfortable and positive environment. She cares about helping people feel confident and their "best selves" in front of the camera, I would definitely recommend booking with her and would return again! read more

My favorite part about this experience is how completely comfortable and taken care of that Stephanie made me feel. From the introductory email to the questionnaire and the entire photography process, Stephanie had my interests and goals and comfort at the forefront. Then the results!! She painted me with shadows and light and her lens and I'm thrilled with the outcome! So many pictures I love I don't know how I'll choose my favs. It was so much fun doing this shoot! Thank you Stephanie for making me feel both sexy and seen read more

I did a maternity photoshoot with Stephanie and it was amazing!! Not only did I have a ton of fun, I felt so comfortable - and this was something I'd never done before. Stephanie made the whole process - from prep to selecting photos - so easy. I look forward to doing another photoshoot with her again! read more

I had a blast doing the photo shoot! We used a pintrest board with several ideas and brought my vision to life. Not only did I have an amazing time taking the pictures, they are beautiful and I cannot wait to hang them in my apartment ! Truly works of art!!! This photo shoot was a 10 year anniversary gift to my husband who is an outstanding gift giver...I've finally topped him! Though I had an occasion ...I would encourage this to anyone who wanted to celebrate their body! If you have hesitations; Stephanie is a genius and the right lighting & retouching solve all problems. *Treat Yourself * read more

Shooting with Stephanie has been an incredible experience! On a scale of 1 to 10, I am not even *on* the scale when it comes to experience posing for pictures- but Stephanie is so great at directing, it didn't even matter. Everything turned out absolutely stunning, and it was so much fun! She makes it a point to get to know you and your style, and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable during your shoot. I let her know this was something outside of my comfort zone, and she talked me through everything step by step and was very encouraging. My photos turned out better than I imagined. You're in great hands with Stephanie! And trust me, get the larger package. You're going to have so many photos that you love, it's going to be difficult to cull them down to even 20. read more

From the very first email, I knew I would be treated like a queen at Brooklyn Boudoir. Stephanie's attention to detail, both in explaining each step of the process and in her thoughtful photography style, ensured I had a fun, empowering shoot and walked away with tons of killer photos. There were so many times throughout the planning, the shoot, and the photo reveal where I noticed little things Stephanie had done to make me feel comfortable, and that made a world of difference! I searched for boudoir photographers in the NY metro area, but none quite had the artist edge that Stephanie has. Brooklyn Boudoir photos have a range of emotions (sexy, cozy, soft, sensual) while always being tasteful and flattering. Stephanie has a talent for capturing the mood and atmosphere in a way that feels authentic and never forced. read more

He said that I look amazing, so sexy and HOT!! I highly recommend Stephanie as your Boudoir photographer! Do it now, you won't regret it! read more

The whole experience was amazing! Stephanie made me feel so comfortable and confident in from of the camera! The photos turned out even better than I could have imagined, making it so hard to choose which ones to include in my album!

Out of all the gifts I could have chosen for my 40th, I can say without a doubt, this was the absolute best gift! This was more than a gift, it was an experience that I will always remember. It was liberating and fun! For one day, I felt like a supermodel! To see yourself through someone else's eyes is a "wow moment". I have never looked at myself in the mirror the way I did when I looked at myself through Stephanie's lens. Stephanie is a true artist. Her vision, personality and talent made this a one of a kind experience that will stay with me forever. From start to finish, the entire process was incredible. read more

I found Stephanie through another photography referral. I'm very glad I did because I had a fantastic experience shooting with her! She is very professional and responsive, and when you go to your appointment you feel very welcomed and comfortabl. she does a variety of photo shoots for different purposes. the makeup artist she booked for the day was great as well! the entire experience was so much fun and confidence boosting. You can tell she loves what she does. Its a financial investment but it feels so worth it once you're there. Highly recommend! read more

JUST BOOK IT!! I am a very picky person and am someone who over-researches everything so I can feel 100% certain I am making the best decision. Especially for something as expensive as a boudoir shoot. Trust me (and trust the 60 line excel spreadsheet I created to compare all Brooklyn/Manhattan boudoir photographers) that Stephanie @ Brooklyn Boudoir is the ONLY way to go. The quality of work speaks for itself. It is timeless, classy, elegant, sexy, stunning and truly beyond words. The photos will be something you will look back on and treasure forever. She has such an eye for light and such a talent for framing. Beyond the end result, your experience with Stephanie will be incredible. She is so lovely and sweet and makes you feel so comfortable (even if you're awkward like me). She gets on the floor and shows you how to pose, and positions you perfectly and helps you look like a professional model. She's also there for you throughout the whole planning process - we were Facetiming and texting about my outfits for weeks. I also really loved how she truly looked through my Pinterest inspiration boards and brought them to life. Whether it was the poses or the photos themselves, she saw that I wanted and literally replicated them. Not many photographers take the time or make the effort. She makes the photos and the experience personal to you and what you envision. This was such a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me and I truly cannot recommend Brooklyn Boudoir enough. Just trust me - book this. Don't hesitate. read more

When I had the thought to do a boudoir shoot, and found Stephanie via a google search, I knew there was no turning back. Having been an art director at a well-known lingerie company for 20 years-her portfolio was exactly what I was looking for. Stephanie is an amazing professional photographer with a great talent for style, class and a timeless sensibility in her images. She is also a wonderful human, who makes you feel at ease and beautiful and sexy. Already trying to come up for an excuse for the next shoot! read more

One word to describe my experience = Beautiful. Such a simple word, but with so much meaning. Working with Stephanie is life changing. She is a natural at what she does and has the ability to make anyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Stephanie is such a genuine, kind and sweet soul. I showed up to the shoot frantic and emotional. My wedding was in exactly 6 days and I had so much left to do. I barely had an opportunity to prep for my long awaited photo shoot. Fortunately for me, Stephanie is amazing at her job. It's clear that she was born to take beautiful pictures and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to be on the opposite side of her lens. The saying "time flies when you're having fun" cannot be more true with my experience. I felt like we were done in a flash, but that's only because I truly enjoyed it and really loved working with her. It was so easy taking her direction. I felt comfortable, confident and not to mention absolutely Sexyl! I arrived an emotional mess and left feeling like a badass. Couldn't have asked for better. From beginning to end, Stephanie was very professional and easy to work with. The entire process from inquiring to booking and finally scheduling was so seamless. I really can't thank Stephanie enough. It has been a game changer and I cannot wait to book her again! My pictures are gorgeous and I'm so grateful for the experience. I HIGHLY recommend Brooklyn Boudoir. Don't second guess yourself.... just do it! read more

This was the best experience! After researching different photographers, I am so glad that I decided to work with Stephanie. She made this experience extremely fun and took away all the fears of being in front of the camera. She has a gift for putting clients at ease. Stephanie was incredible to work with and I felt completely comfortable, supported, and confident the entire time! By the end of the shoot we were chatting away like old friends! I highly recommend doing a photo shoot for yourself or as a gift! read more

10/10 would recommend!! I went into the shoot as a referral from a friend who gave repeated rave reviews, so I was really excited going into it. I instantly felt comfortable with Stephanie and was just really eager to learn from her expertise - I learned a lot from her and am so grateful for her guidance as the photos turned out so so incredibly! I want to find more excuses to do it again and again, it was such a fun afternoon and I'm excited to have the evidence to look back on. read more

I've worked with Stephanie twice and have enjoyed every moment of our collaborations. She brings talent, enthusiasm and creativity to the shoot and she also has fantastic instincts and is the perfect photographer for someone like me who isn't sure what I wanted the look to be. She had amazing ideas that made me feel and look amazing and true to myself. The best version of the real me was captured in the final images. I can't recommend Stephanie and Brooklyn Boudoir enough. read more

Working with Stephanie was one of the most empowering and amazing experiences of my life. She made me feel confident, sexy, passionate and so open to explore art and ideas.It did not take long before we became super comfortable with one another and the one thing I will say is looking at this pictures of myself felt like an out of body experience. I have never felt so proud of my curves and body. Stephanie captures you in a way you would never see yourself and she is BRILLIANT at it. I am so lucky to have been referred to her by a client of mine who did the same experience with her. When we review the photos together, I was in utter shock and amazement that I LOVED so many of the images. I ended up buying all of the digital copies and as I scroll through them I see such unique lighting and beauty in all of them. Finally, Stephanie was able to direct and guide everything from my hands to my hips and it was a remarkable synergy we had that made these photos turn out so well. Thank you for empowering me Stephanie and capturing/documenting this point in my life. I so look forward to working together again in the future! read more

I had such an amazing shoot with Stephanie. I did a boudoir photo shoot for an anniversary gift to my husband. I was very nervous and I honestly hate being in pictures but Stephanie was so complimenting and positive. She made it a lot of fun. Stephanie was great with direction and finding the best positions. I felt sexy only months after having my first child! When I saw the pictures I was in love. Plus, she made an amazing album for me - so creative. My husband was a very happy man when he received his gift! I couldn't be any happier with my decision to go with Brooklyn Boudoir - these pictures that my husband and I can cherish for years to come. read more

My session with Brooklyn Boudoir couldn't have been better. Stephanie is a natural behind the camera and was a natural in terms of leading and directing the shoot for me, which was huge because I'd never done anything like it before. She effortlessly positioned me, giving me small suggestions with enormous effects - a lowered chin here, a shift in weight there. And she did it all while making me feel like a million bucks! That was all before I saw any photos. Holy cow, the pictures she took blew me away! She made me look as good as she made me feel. Even the parts of me that I'm self-conscious about, she found a way to subvert into timeless sexiness. I have no doubt that I will be looking at these photos when I'm 85 thinking, damnnn, I looked good. Though the truth may simply be that it was one very talented photographer who created the illusion of a lifetime! read more

Love her work, would absolutely recommend! She has a great eye for a good image and will make you feel beautiful!

I had such an incredible experience on this shoot with Stephanie. I want to start by saying I am very uncomfortable in front of the camera and by doing this I knew I was stepping way outside of my comfort zone. However from the minute I walked in I knew I had chosen the right person. Stephanie immediately put me at ease. Not only did she make me feel comfortable but she had this ability to keep me relaxed while at the same time gently encouraging me to embrace a challenge and step outside of the box. I did this shoot for myself and not only did she deliver incredible photos but she really captured an inner confidence that's just starting to blossom. I cannot thank her enough for this experience. I plan on making it a yearly tradition! read more

I can't say enough about my session with Brooklyn Boudoir. Stephanie is a master director, photographer and producer. She put so much care and thought into each stage of the process from prep through to the finished product. Her creativity is boundless and her sense of light and composition is extraordinary. Above all she knows how to put you at ease with yourself and bring out the beauty within. I'm approaching my 40s, I've grown two children in my belly and breast fed each of them. All of this takes a toll on your skin and body but there is beauty in all of it. Stephanie finds the beauty and intimacy. My husband was over the moon with the photographs and his own personal website of me and says he will eat the chocolate when he is 90 (yes Stephanie can get your flawless picture on chocolate!). And while I technically did this as a present for him, it was really a gift to myself and one I know I'll treasure forever. I can't wait to do another session!! read more
