Once I decided to pull the trigger booking with Marisa, I just knew this was going to be the…read moreexperience of a lifetime! I have always been drawn to her work as an artist, and have been following her on social media for quite sometime. I knew if I ever felt the call to do a boudoir photo shoot, she would be my first choice. From the first phone consultation to the zoom reveal of my absolutely stunning photos, I felt supported and seen throughout the whole process. From getting to create a mood board of the aesthetic I was going for, choosing color palettes and poses, and picking out lingerie, even the preparation for the shoot was fun! Marisa was a quick e-mail/text away if I had any questions or concerns regarding anything and everything. When I arrived at her studio, I immediately felt any anxiety I had melt away. Whilst excited about the art we were going to create, I'm an introvert and was nervous I was going to be awkward and shy. But as soon as you see Marisa's gorgeous, and carefully curated, creative space, you feel right at home. We got to look over my mood board one more time and explored the studio to see where we wanted to set up specific looks. And the pampering! Keleigh arrived to do my hair and makeup, and she was absolutely delightful. It was pretty special having a personal glam squad to make you look and feel your best. I have never felt so beautiful, like a powerful goddess! Marisa effortlessly guided me through all the poses and I really started to get into it after warming up for a few poses. So many different scenes you can create, each corner is like you are transported to a different oasis. She also has a beautiful outdoor patio with a claw foot bathtub, surrounded by stunning foliage, for all you nature babes. I left feeling sexy, playful and empowered. I just turned 40, and wanted to celebrate how my healthy habits and choices have paid off, both emotionally and physically. I wanted to capture my love for myself. My confidence. My sovereignty. To see the softness, and the fierceness, in me. And Marisa encapsulated that, perfectly. We created some serious magic, and I get to relive that day every time I look at these photos! If you are on the fence about taking the leap, just do it! You won't regret it. xo

Playing dress-up & exploring different poses was so much fun. Her energy & guidance made me feel fearless, powerful, & empowered in a way I never imagined. I'm so grateful for the safe & encouraging environment Marisa & team created. And being able to bring my sisters to cheer me on, it was a dream. Thank you Marisa for giving me your Sunday on a holiday weekend, & all your energy to make the perfect shot (pink lights, hello!). All!

I purchased the goddess package as a wedding gift for my husband. Brynn did an amazing job and was…read morevery professional. Her hair and makeup artist did a great job, even though the extensions I brought were difficult to work with. Brynn explained boudoir to me and showed me samples of what I could expect in the final product as well as the process and timeline. Since I needed the album soon after the shoot, Brynn sent my photos to me the same evening to pick my faves and the album was delivered much more quickly than I anticipated. I wojld recommend this experience to anyone, honestly. You don't have to do it as a gift, you can even do it for yourself. Brynn has a great eye and will make you feel and look your absolute best. She even offered to touch up any insecure areas, you just have to specify what you want. 10/10.

My wife gave me this boudoir shoot as a birthday gift, and wow, what a gift it turned out to be…read more From my perspective as the husband on the receiving end, the photos came out incredible. Let's just say... she absolutely understood the assignment. What I really appreciated was how much class the studio brought to the entire experience. The images were sexy without being too much, elegant without losing that playful and intimate feel. They clearly knew how to highlight her beauty in a tasteful, flattering, and polished way. You can tell this studio knows exactly what they're doing. The photos definitely had plenty of heat, but just as important, my wife seemed comfortable throughout the process, and that showed in the final results. As her husband, I'll just say I probably spent longer admiring the photos than I should admit in a Yelp review. This was absolutely a home run of a birthday gift. If you're looking for a boudoir studio that can create something sexy, polished, and genuinely classy, I would absolutely recommend them. To respect my wife's privacy, I attached AI-generated recreations inspired by the actual shots.

To put this into perspective, she did my mom's boudoir shoot over 15 years ago, and then my aunt's. I guess true to what's starting to look like a family tradition (lol), I came to Beth for my own boudoir shoot to surprise my husband on our wedding day. Beth is incredibly talented, warm, and is a master at making her clients feel comfortable and confident. For those who're worried about what to do or who generally don't think they look good in pictures, don't sweat it. She'll tell you exactly how to pose, where to look, and overall hold your hand throughout the entire process. I didn't worry about a thing during my shoot. When she showed me the sneak peeks afterward, I couldn't believe the results! And this was before editing. The final product--a high-quality, heavy-duty book--took my breath away. Beth is worth every penny and is truly a gift to women. She cares deeply about her clients and her work, and it shows.

This review is long over due because my photo session was a wedding gift to my husband. First, I'm…read morenot one to go this far out of my comfort zone for just anyone. I had even gone shopping specifically for this and needed inspiration because I had no clue what to wear. I was super nervous the day of my shoot and once I arrived to the studio Monica was there with her makeup artist. They both greeted me and once we started to chat I began to feel comfortable. It was as if we were old friends hanging out to play dress up. My makeup and hair was awesome, I can't remember the makeup artist's name but she really listened to me and nailed the look I wanted. Monica was super helpful with picking out outfits. I took my husband's jersey to wear in one of the looks which Monica totally encouraged me to do it. I brought along my wedding shoes and pearls which were sentimental because they're pieces I'd wear on my wedding day. I can't even express how professional and comfortable my session was. At the end of the photo session I felt like this would be something I'd do again as long as Monica is the photographer. She gave great directions on posing and you definitely gain that confident bad b!tch attitude as you go. I was extremely happy with my proofs which made it very hard to choose. Thank god I had a couple of good friends look through them and narrow down the 20 pics for his book. My husband loved his wedding present and soon we will get the other pictures I didn't purchase. I look forward to working with Monica again! She loves what she does and it shows in her work!

When I was a tween I realized I wanted to be an actress. I loved to be on stage and to perform. I…read moreread everything I could on how to make it in Hollywood. I was in Texas so my options were fairly limited since I wasn't looking to rope any cattle or sang with a twang, but I was able to find a modeling and talent agency nearby. I begged my mother to take me there and we went, me armed with my short resume, a lot of moxie and excitement. We were seen by a middle-aged, frumpy man who took one look at me and told my mother that I wasn't model material: I was too dark and should consider other options. I was devastated and I never forgot that jackhole, crusher of tween girl dreams. It took me a while to recover from that. I wish I was cognizant of the art of voodoo at that time, 'cause that mothereffer would have had all kinds of pains in his nether regions. When I won a gift certificate for a photo session with Boudoir Rouge Photography, I was at once elated and nervous. This is my second chance! My headshots don't count, which, by the way, if anyone wants any I'll be happy to autograph one for you; I need to get rid of those things! I'll be sending them out as holiday cards until I'm beating knuckleheads upside their heads with my granny cane. Anyway, I had the same kind of mild anxiety I get when I'm afraid someone who thinks I'm all mature will find out I sometimes sing along to Miley Cyrus songs. I thought, "I'm going to have someone staring at my face for hours? What about what my sister said about my chin when we were in 6th grade?" "I don't know nothin' about being sexy. I try to pout and I look like a constipated blowfish." Thankfully, I had nothing to worry about. From the moment I first spoke to Monica, the photographer and I believe, founder of BRP, on the phone, I knew I was in good hands. She has an extremely warm and soothing way about her. She assured me this shoot would be more housewife than ho, despite the fact that I'd only be covering my lady bits - if even that. After speaking with her, I was so excited to go shopping for sexified outfits for my shoot. In the weeks before my shoot I'd practice different poses, trying to find looks that worked for me. Be careful driving down the 405 licking your lips seductively in your rearview mirror; you might end up with a creepy, dentally-challenged dude in a beat-up truck as your biggest fan and stalker. The day of the shoot, Monica arrived with her photographer-to-go kit at my home. While I worked on my makeup and nerves, she worked on transforming my bedroom. When I walked into my bedroom post boudoirification I was floored. Where the hell was I? It sure wasn't *my* bedroom. This was some other chick's sexy man-eating chambre. It was an amazing transformation! *I* wanted to be all up in that room being hot. Before we began she mentioned to me that some of her clients like to drink a glass of wine before the shoot to relax. You ain't got to tell me twice! I can't drink wine anymore, so I said, screw it, I'm going for the vodka. At 10am, there I was doing shots of vodka. Hell yeah, I was feeling great then! Let's take this shit off and get it done! At first, I was a little shy. I was also a little freaked about having my blinds open on my street-facing windows, me in undies, attempting to pose seductively. I was afraid one of my neighbors would walk by, get an eyeful and start thinking he needs to come by for a visit soon. Eww and no. Monica is like the lingerie-whisperer. Within 20 minutes, I was so relaxed and calm, and it wasn't just the vodka warming it's way through my body. It was Monica, she made me feel beautiful, she made me feel like every pose I did put Cindy Crawford to shame, I was thinking I was hot shit ready to call up "Victoria Secret" and say, "Yo, you ain't met Ms. Keisha." Her direction was so simple to follow and allowed me to focus more on being comfortable in my skin. I felt like a star and I was living my tween dream. By the end of the session, I felt like a model. I was strutting around in my bra and panties and heels like "what?!" I was ready to shimmy down the street. After the shoot, I was like a kid waiting for Christmas, so anxious to see my sneak preview. I'm not gonna lie, when I saw the sneak peek of my photos I thought I was the business. I sent some of the photos to my sister and she said, "Hello Keisha Kardashian" which I *think* was a compliment. The 8 x 10 and small flip book I later ordered were beautifully packaged with care. Now I have memorialized for all of time my youth and perkiness and I can show my grandkids and say, "Look what granny used to have!" Nothing would give me more pleasure than to send a copy of these photos to that frumpy asshole at the talent agency, show him what Keisha grew up to be. I'd include a note that said, "How ya like *these* apples?"

I came to Carolina during one of the hardest times in my life. I was carrying the weight of…read morebetrayal, abandonment, and feeling completely replaced... like I wasn't enough, like I was small, invisible, and unwanted. For a long time, I had thought about doing a boudoir shoot, but I always found reasons not to. Fear, doubt, insecurity. But something about Carolina's work stopped me. The women in her photos weren't just beautiful, they were alive. You could see their souls shining through. Every image had this undeniable sparkle, this quiet confidence, this truth. It wasn't about perfection it was about real beauty. And somehow, I felt drawn to that. So I booked the shoot... still unsure, still questioning myself, still not fully knowing who I was anymore. From the moment I arrived, everything changed. Carolina and her entire team welcomed me with so much warmth, kindness, and genuine care. They didn't just make me feel comfortable they made me feel seen. It felt like being surrounded by old friends, by family. There was no judgment, no pressure just support, laughter, and encouragement. I opened up a little about what I had been going through, and they held that space with so much compassion. And then... just like that, the session was over. But the real magic happened when I saw my photos. They weren't heavily edited or altered, it was just me, in the right light, through the right lens. And I couldn't believe it. I actually asked, "Is that really me? Am I really that beautiful?" Because for the first time in a long time I saw myself differently. That moment changed something deep inside of me. Those photos became more than images. They became a reminder. On the days when sadness creeps in, when doubt tries to take over, I look at them and I remember who I am. I feel invincible. I feel powerful. I feel beautiful, sexy, strong, and alive. Carolina didn't just take pictures of me, she showed me myself. And that is something I will carry with me forever. Thank you, Carolina, for giving me back a piece of me I thought I had lost. You didn't just make a difference, you changed my life.

I would highly recommend as she will immediately make you feel at ease along with her assistant! She is a master of finding the perfect angles and lighting to polish the diamond that you are!

Shane and I have been friends for some time, and while I've always admired his work, I've always found myself wondering how he is able to work with such beautiful, aesthetically symmetrical and professional models who look natural, not posed, and always alluring. I had a chance recently to work with Shane on a set of photos to remember myself by because I'm going in for a major, planned but required surgery which will alter my appearance permanently. I honestly wasn't sure how it would go, considering (1) we are friends (2) I am ULTIMATE awkward. I in no way could ever imagine myself looking anything like anyone in his portfolio and much less appealing somehow. I just wanted to remember myself as I am, whatever that was, awkward and all. Boy, I was not prepared for how elevating this experience was, and it really is an experience. This is not a photography session, it's a therapy session (lol). Shane is natural, friendly, but also funny, thoughtful, insightful, and encouraging. The way he guides you through a session is just a hang out, and we had so much to catch up on in the time we spent together since it had been years since we last hung out. And somewhere in the midst of catching up, sharing stories, laughing and making fun of ourselves, something magical happens. I'm forever grateful for this experience with Shane because it was truly an amazing way to honor my body and myself, even as I found myself unexpectedly in this current stage in life. I felt incredibly present, empowered, and beautiful, things I could never use to honestly and truthfully describe about myself. Definitely 80000000% recommend working with Shane.
