Kaylin is hands down my favorite photographer. I've never been disappointed in the photos Kaylin takes of me. From headshots to an everyday look, to boudoir. I can't thank her enough for being so consistent and always providing A+ work. She's not only a great photographer but a gem to work with as well. Thanks Kaylin! We will be shooting again soon.

Kaylin and Taylor are by far one of my favorite people to shoot with. So I am no model and usually really awkward around cameras but they made me feel really comfortable. They helped me with my all my wardrobe choices and even provided other option and offered hair and makeup ... and another thing that I really loved is that they let me do my own thing. But still help pose me and help me with getting the right angle of me and making me look a lot thinner... which I though was a amazing !! Anyways iam very happy with all my pictures and my my finish album for my boyfriend,which he loved !!definitely will be using her again read more

Kaylin is one of the most talented photographers I've worked with. As a woman, she understands how to tap into a female gaze and capture depth in her subjects! I was so happy with the concept images that she produced for a film project that I'm working on. The images she took even helped me secure a great director and funding! I highly recommend Kaylin. She's very talented and was able to execute the vision of our shoot, while still staying true to my individuality/essence! read more

Oh my gosh, I can't describe in words how amazing my Boudoir experience with Kaylin was. My husbands birthday was coming up and I wanted to do something special for him, something he would never expect. That is when I stumbled across Kaylin's website and was absolutely intrigued by the get go. I have never been in front of the camera; minus shameless selfies for Facebook and sexy time for my husband so I was SUPER nervous about stripping down in front of an absolute stranger. Oh my gosh, not only did Kaylin provide amazing makeup and hair, she made me feel SO comfortable and the experience made me feel so amazing! After our shoot, I went home telling all my friends and family how awesome my boudoir experience was. Every woman needs to do this, if not for their significant other but for them! My photos came out absolutely breathtaking. I almost cried when Kaylin and I were going over the photos to put in the album for my husband. I couldn't believe how sexy, beautiful and classy they were. When my husband opened the album and started turning the pages, he was like, Who? What? .... IS THIS YOU?!" He couldn't stop looking at the albums and not to mention the lovins weren't too bad either! Hehe. It's been over a week and he brings out the album almost every day. I can't emphasize enough how amazing Kaylin is. She was easy to work with and made me feel like she was one of my girlfriends back home. And so funny! Kaylin was flexible with her schedule and was quick to respond to my 183639176182 questions I would email/ask her about. Not only is she a great person but her work effing rocks! I can't say it enough, my boudoir experience was absolutely amazing. I want to do it again! Thank you Kaylin! You're a rock star. read more

My girlfriend decided to surprise me by having Kaylin take some Boudoir photographs for me. Having been a photographer myself for many years I am always critical of others photographers works. Boudoir photographers must have a very special eye for using the best lighting and angles. It's amazing how unbelievably fantastic the photos came out. My girlfriend looks so amazingly tasteful in the shots. It's truly unbelievable that they show the absolute best of her in every way. I didn't get a chance to meet her or work with her but was told it was absolutely wonderful, with no anxiety photo session. Wonderful pictures that I will treasure forever. read more

Kaylin and Taylor should be known as the dream-team when it comes to capturing the perfect picture. Not only have I done boudoir shoots with them, but we have also done on location shoots, headshots, editorial, underwater, you name it, and they always strive to capture the ultimate photo. When I first thought of boudoir I won't lie I was a bit nervous but they never once pushed me outside my comfort zone but rather worked with my style and poses to capture what most studios and photographers can't. I've never had such a fun shoot and I've never had such a productive one either. Within just a couple hours we pulled out so many great shots it was hard to chose my favorite however my girlfriend said she kept clicking the "next" button to see more because they were all her favorites. Perfection is nearly unattainable unless your working with the Dream-team at EllisMae Boudoir Studio. read more

Kaylin is the whole package from start to finish. She works with you from the conception of your photoshoot to creating the perfect finished product.

She is friendly, yet professional. Hands down the best boudoir experience. read more

As an aspiring model I've worked with many photographers over the years. My favorite photographs and experience on set has always been with EllisMae Boudoir Studio. The photos attached are from last years shoot when I wanted to shoot in the desert! I booked a session and Kaylin worked out all the details. It was windy and cold but Kaylin kept saying how great the light was and how the wind was giving us movement so I sucked it up and continued shooting I love the images we created and every time I learn something about posing, movement, lighting and photography which has helped me become a better model. I highly recommend you book yourself a shoot. This year I wanted to create some private boudoir photos for myself and OMG she just finished them and I've never felt so sexy. As a tall and thin individual I find it difficult to look curvy in photos. She guided me through all the arches and movements to create sensuality in the images. I feel more confident in my own skin every time I have a session with her. read more

EllisMae Studio is my ONLY option when it comes to my photos. Image is one of the most important parts of being an artist and building a brand. Kaylin delivers everytime. I've worked with her numerous times and would trust no one else to produce the images I need for not only my press photos, but my social media and website as well. She's more talented than her prices reflect. I'd recommend no one else. read more

Recently I booked a photo session with Kaylin. I found her to be remarkably sensitive and intuitive about the way I wanted to be portrayed in the photos. I was so impressed with how she knew just how to tell me to position my body to emphasize my small figure. I felt so comfortable. She was prompt, professional, and the results are excellent. I couldn't be more pleased with my finished product! I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking that very special boudoir image. read more

If you're like I was about 6 months ago, you're on here researching boudoir photographers, still uncertain as to whether you should even be entertaining the idea at all. So many questions swirled around in my head...am I being silly? Should I really spend money on photos of MYSELF when our budget is so tight and there are so many other things on the growing wedding to do/buy list? Am I even going to like them when it's all said and done? Should I just go with the cheapest deal I can find so I don't have to worry about buyer's remorse? Can I even do "sexy?" If this is you, I think I can help...the answer to your concerns?...DO IT. Do it with Kaylin and you will be so happy you did. The interesting thing is, we do this as a gift for our love, our partner, our husband to be...but it winds up feeling like a gift to ourselves as well. In my experience, shooting with Kaylin, it was worth every penny. She is incredibly talented, warm, welcoming, and her LOVE for what she does is palpable. She wants, above all, for you to love the results, and for you to love yourself throughout the process. From the initial consultation, to the mood board, to the day of the shoot, to the viewing, the amount of individual attention she gives is incomparable. And she makes the whole process, from start to finish, so much FUN! As soon as the shoot was over, I was trying to think of when the next time is that I'll have an excuse to do this again! It was a blast! And the photos?...absolutely stunning. I expressed my concerns going into this that I don't know how to do sexy. I know how to do happy. A camera is aimed at me, I smile! I was so uncertain that I could pull off any other expression. But Kaylin guides you through the whole shoot...every little detail. From how to position your body, to where to look, to HOW to look. And she is so damn good at it. The results are incredible. And the space? Ellis Mae Studio is so perfectly suited for what she does. It's warm, inviting, oozing with flattering natural light, (which Kaylin uses masterfully,) and is perfectly furnished and propped. I know the thought of doing this kind of shoot can be very much outside of our comfort zone, but that may be the best reason TO do it. And the best in the business, in my opinion, is Kaylin. Book it and you will be so thankful you did! read more

I just received my photo book from my first boudoir shoot. First off let me tell you that I'm an opinionated person with a friendly personality. However! I'm super shy. I decided to do this for my boyfriend as a Valentine's day present beyond all my reservations. I met with Kaylin and from start to finish the experience was SO pleasant. She worked with me from location to wordrobe and poses to accentuate what I do like on my body (which is not much) lol. I remember telling myself before the photo shoot that I was not a person that should be doing something like this because I'm not the most confident in my body but again Kaylin was great. She dealt with all my questions and all my awkwardness. She made sure I was comfortable at every moment and in fact after my makeup was done as far as me thinking this is reserved for models only, this mentality was clearly wrong and should be a must for every woman. Regardless of relationship status every girl should have some of these pics of herself. They are classy and sexy. Even right before the viewing of my pics I thought I wouldn't like enough pics to make the album but they came out great! FYI, I'm a petite person that doesn't have much of a booty or boobs. So needless to say I was VERY surprised. She captured my body in angles that were flattering even before the retouch. I learned that this does not have to be a hidden item either, but even something to leave on your dresser just like a photo frame. She works with your ideas of what you want and the pictures are beautiful. Definitely something that helps embrace the beauty in EVERY woman's body. My decision to do this was not regretted and am very happy with this place and my pics. read more

AMAZING and super talented photographer. Very pleased with my experience. Kaylin is so awesome and great at what she does.

Kaylin is the most amazing photographer in the LA area. If you are looking for someone who is professional, well prepared, and can create the most comfortable and relaxed environment for you to shoot in, then she's definitely the choice for you. I have been shooting with Kaylin for almost 8 Years now and she's always provided me quality work. She's amazing to work with and we always have a blast during photo shoots. Even if you are a beginner she brings out the best model in you, as you can see from her amazing photos. She also does amazing family photos and works great with kids. I have children that she has taken photographs of and she is amazing at getting them to smile and capturing wonderful candid photos of them in their element. I would highly recommend her, she's the best I've shot with and I've shot with many people over the years. It's always an amazing experience that's enjoyable as well because she has the best personality! read more
