I cannot recommend Emily enough! I was looking for a photographer that was willing to work with me…read morefor a surprise proposal that I had planned. I researched other photographers and spoke to a handful, but from the start Emily was professional but also fun and extremely easy to work with. I shared my ideas with her and as the day drew closer she realized that due to the season or time of the day, some of the shots would probably not work out. She had a ton of great suggestions that were even better than what I had planned. Emily got some great candid shots of me proposing to my girlfriend, and then we went on a photo shoot around Chicago. After the proposal Emily was great at making sure that we stuck to our schedule, checking and giving us suggestions to make sure the photos looked well, and capturing great light and backgrounds across the city. Emily got us our photos really quickly, and we were blown away by how great they ALL were. We've been very happy and proud to show off our proposal photos, and everyone has loved them. I can honestly say that my proposal would not have turned out as great as it did without Emily! Thanks Emily!!

I cannot say enough amazing things about this experience. I'm generally rather shy & modest, but I…read morebooked this boudoir shoot as a gift for my fiancé. Turns out, it was an absolute gift to ME (also blew his mind). I left feeling more beautiful & empowered than ever, & that was BEFORE I saw the pictures. Cara is not only an exceptionally talented artist, but an exceptional person & brought out a side of self love in me I didn't know existed. Then, I got the pictures. Shy me turned into a supermodel (minimal retouching needed) Seriously, I could not believe it was me. I cherish the photos, & I went back two more times for pregnancy shoots which were just as amazing as the boudoir. Book this experience, whether introvert/extrovert, single, dating, engaged, pregnant, no matter your age, it is worth every single penny & more.

If you are even 1% considering doing this for yourself, for the love of god DO IT!!!! This is…read moregenuinely one of my favorite things I've ever done for myself. I had the most incredible experience with Cara and Melissa, and I feel like the photos (which are amazing, not shy about tooting my own horn here) ended up just being the cherry on top, which is wild. Can you relate to the following? 1. You've thought about doing this before, but wanted to wait until you got fitter, hair was longer, blah blah blah - NO, STOP IT. I know you've looked back to photos of yourself and thought "damn, why was I so critical? I looked great!" LEARN YOUR LESSON! You look great now, too. Book ittttttt 2. You've gotten professional photos done before, and didn't totally love how they turned out. ME TOO. This includes professional headshots, engagement photos, wedding photos, my passport photo (ha). I would see them and think okay those are nice, a like a few, but somehow they felt like they didn't really capture how I see myself. CARA SPECIFICALLY, not just any photographer, will capture YOU how you see yourself. It's the absolute beeeeeest. Which leads to point 3: 3. Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror and are like "hell yeah, nice!" and then you see yourself in a photo the same day and you're like "what the hell....is my mind warped?!" And then you have to ask your friends/sister "yo do I look like that?" And they say no definitely not? Yeah I don't get it either. It's weird (and the cameras fault- not yours) - and it won't happen with Cara. You'll look bomb and your photos will show you looking bomb. Here's the thing, the whole photoshoot experience was so much fun, and in the top 10 times I've felt the most amazing about myself. Cara and her team care about you and will take care of you. You are so beautiful, you deserve this experience, the outcome is going to be worth the money by miles. I was worried that I wouldn't like my pictures and as soon as I opened the file to choose the ones to keep, I felt so relieved. I am so glad I found this studio and photographer. Book it book it book it. And book it here, with Cara.

****New Post from Feb 2020::****…read more Had an absolute blast shooting our maternity shoot with Magdalena at her amazing downtown studio and partially outdoors (yes in the middle of Chicago winter) this past weekend. It was SO worth it for the incredible shots she caught. Her perspective is so unique and captivating. We have done our engagement, wedding, boudoir and now maternity all with WASIO/PURE Boudoir and wouldn't have it any other way! The session just flowed incredibly well, and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Magdalena was extremely mindful and accommodating throughout if I needed a water, snack or restroom break at all. Even at 36 weeks pregnant, she made me feel more beautiful than ever! To anyone on the fence about having a Maternity shoot done because you aren't sure you feel up to it, I promise you, its totally worth it! ****Original Post from Aug 2017:: [ALSO 5 STARS!!!]**** What an incredible experience! I chose Magdalena of Wasio for two reasons. One, I've worked with her before for my engagement and wedding photography, and two, for her incredible prospective when it comes to boudoir photography! I was nervous at first but Magdalena was very reassuring and made me feel extremely comfortable. She offered many suggestions on outfits and ideas, and worked with what I had in mind as well. Throughout the session Magdalena would show me a few glimpses of photos on her camera as encouragement. She has a great eye that could make a woman of any shape or size feel beautiful. I chose to do mine as a surprise gift to my husband for our 5 year wedding anniversary and a gift to myself for my 30th birthday. This was a very rewarding experience and I definitely recommend Magdalena. Every woman should do this at least once, even if it is just for yourself!

I booked a boudoir session with Magdalena to get some photos as a wedding present for my fiancé…read more Before the session, Magdalena sent detailed instructions on what to expect and how to prepare. The morning of the session I had also booked hair and makeup through someone she recommended, and their services were great! The session itself was also wonderful. Despite the fact that I had never done something along the lines of boudoir before, Magdalena gave a lot of instruction on how to pose and ensure my facial expressions also conveyed the right tone. She stopped to show me photos along to way so i could see how they were turning out. She promptly shared the unedited proofs with me, and they were all so good it was so hard to decide which ones I liked the best! If you are considering doing a boudoir shoot, do not hesitate to book with Pure Boudoir!

Argentina and her staff made me feel very comfortable and the positions were difficult but she definitely made me look good. I would recommend her to anyone and can't wait for another occasion to be photographed by her.
