SO MUCH FUN!
I bought a Groupon back in November for a boudoir session and saved it just in time for Valentine's day. I was a little bit nervous leading up to my appointment, but after familiarizing myself with the helpful content on their website I felt very prepared for the session.
TIP: Make sure to read the website prior to purchasing. They clearly explain things in the FAQ and pricing sections.
First off, the location is very secure and they keep the front door locked so there won't be any interruptions to these very intimate sessions. I was greeted by Kim who got me all checked in, and went over the paperwork and policies. I already felt familiar based on taking the time to review the website, so we got to get on to the fun stuff.
I brought about 6 outfits and some extra pieces just to make sure. Kim was SUPER helpful with suggestions on how to pair things, or experiences with certain items that don't always shoot well. They also have the option to buy items there if needed. Kim also is the hair/makeup gal and got me all glammed up for the shoot. I definitely recommend adding hair/makeup to your session, it really completes the look and makes your features pop for the photos.
Then we headed into the studio...Kim laid out all of my outfits in the order that they would be shot in (full coverage to least coverage...) and also reviewed my accessories as well as suggested a few that they hand on hand for me to borrow (even some shoe options!). I was then handed off to Nikki for the photo shoot...first off, they keep the place nice and warm :) so that is great. They have about 8 different "areas" setup with furniture and backgrounds. Nikki was so friendly, professional and fantastic. She did a wonderful job guiding me into poses and making me feel at ease. Overall I was there for about 2.5 hours and had a fabulous time!
I came back a few days later to review the final pictures and was really pleased! They took about 300 shots, edited them down to about 100 that I was able to review. Given the fact that Kim had already reviewed the pricing structures with me the week before I felt very comfortable with what I was willing to spend and did not feel pressured to spend more. It's hard though, the pictures all looked so good. I was very happy with the fact that after paying in full I was given quick access to my final photo selections within 24 hours on a secure site which is password protected.
The ladies at this shop made my experience here very special and comfortable. This is a wonderful spot if you want to treat yourself and have beautiful pictures for yourself or to share with that special someone! I am extremely happy with the quality of photos I've received and can't wait to share these with my husband as a momento for years to come. read more
