I had my first ever professional photoshoot done with Fred Jefferds and he made the whole…read moreexperience amazing! He played music to help me relax and stay calm, asked questions on what I liked and didn't like, he brought me a drink to help me relax and even met with me before the photoshoot to help me relax and learn about him so we could get to know each other before hand too. He is so very sweet and will take his time and make sure you get the photos you want. If you are looking for an amazing and sweet photographer I would definitely recommend him! I am very self conscious about how my body looks and he helped me keep my mind off of how I looked. Thank you so very much! I will definitely be returning for more photos in the future!

Classic Boudoir: This is the traditional style where the subject wears lingerie, often in a bedroom setting with soft lighting, emphasizing elegance, sensuality, and femininity. 2. Fine Art Boudoir: More artistic in approach, this style incorporates elements like dramatic lighting, creative poses, and sometimes black-and-white photography to create timeless, artistic images. 3. Glamour Boudoir: Focusing on high-end styling and makeup, this is about looking ultra-polished and glamorous, often with an editorial or magazine cover look. 4. Bridal Boudoir: Often done before the wedding, this type of session is meant as a personal gift for a partner, often featuring the bride in lingerie or the wedding dress itself. 5.

I cannot put into words how wonderful my experience was working with Brian. I walked into the…read moresession nervous and walked out confident. His demeanor is calming, his artful eye catches the best details, and he is beyond respectful. Obviously when you are having photos taken in such a vulnerable manner one can doubt oneself....but not with Brian as the photographer! I can honestly say when I look at my photos I am proud of being a woman and cannot believe that is me in those photos. I am so happy that I have them for years to come as I age and change. It's only been a year and I find that when I'm down I'll pull the book out and reflect on how beautiful they are and how pleased I am that I found the confidence to take them. Speaking for my husband who arranged the photoshoot.....THANK YOU!!! As a side note I find it important to say that I left this experience with a true friend. Brian's heart is as big as the talent he possesses.

I've now done three separate shoots with Dan and Love Your Body Boudoir. I cannot recommend him…read moreenough. Dan is very relaxed and easy going; I've never felt self-conscious taking photos with him either in lingerie or naked. Before each shoot we've had a conversation about what the goal of the shoot is, some images that we've found for inspiration, and how we want to start. Throughout each shoot Dan has showed me images recently taken.I am always in awe of how his eye has perfectly captured the mood of the pose, my confidence, and how his lighting puts my body in the best possible positions. I love every edit he's sent me. Being able to look back at these various shoots has definitely increased my confidence as I continue to finesse my body towards a goal. His studio is spacious, warm, and clean. He has props (such as a bed and a changing screen), and is always willing to take a break if you need one. I've brought a portable speaker with me before and played my own music to set the mood. If you go to his website you will see women of various ethnicity and sizes. Dan is able to make every woman's personality and sexuality come through in his images. I highly recommend you treat yourself and book with Dan.

This is the Hamilton studio - recently added to Lion & Ram's offerings. Much like the rest of Lion…read more& Ram's stuff, it's a beautifully designed studio that has been made out of an older building. In this case, it was clearly a residential building before Lion & Ram got ahold of it. I rented the Carley studio. NOTES: -The Hayli studio is downstairs. The Carley and Addison studios are upstairs up one flight of (semi-steep, narrow, old-house stairs). The stairs seem sturdy and have a very sturdy banister. -You may/may not run into another human. Your studio will be private to you during your rental, but the common areas may have other humans. -There are two restrooms (both equipped with shower; unsure if you're allowed to use the shower). One restroom is upstairs in the common areas and the other restroom is downstairs in the common area. -There's a gigantic parking lot right behind the building. You have to take an alleyway on a different side of the block, but it looks like the parking for this area (which includes a lot of residential) stuck a parking lot for all of the residents on the interior of all of the homes on the block. I recommend following Google's instructions and driving around the internal parking lot it took you to until you see a sign for Lion & Ram on a brown fence. It's at one of the corners of the parking lot. PROS: -All-three of the studios in-building have a dedicated hair and make-up room - complete with mirrors. The rooms are also brightly painted and gorgeous - and can (easily and very happily!) double as shooting rooms when you're done. I actually spent more time shooting in Carley's dressing room than I did in the main rooms! (I did not check to see if there was a door for privacy between the main shooting rooms and the dressing room, but with a private bathroom down the hall from any of the studio rentals, it's possible to have someone change there.) -In the middle of one of the hotter days this summer, the Carley's AC was on and it was a comfortable temperature. I was SO thankful for that. -Lots of shoot-thru objects if you get creative. The chandelier in one of the shooting rooms works great - or there's some greenery to shoot-thru in the dressing room that hangs off the ceiling. -I could die for this brightly painted, purple dressing room. It translates so beautifully in pictures with natural light only. Partnered with the greenery in there, it's clearly the shining star of the entire studio. -All of the furniture seemed very sturdy. No plasterboard furniture that won't hold weight. Some of the furniture seems a bit on the older side, but none of it seemed concerning, and the roomy couch and oversized leather chairs will work great for larger-frame clients too. -It's definitely a smaller studio - nowhere near as small as their Reese Studio (which is, quite literally) just a storefront. You can easily shoot up to groups of 3 in here, but I'd start to look into other studios for groups larger than that, or you might get some distortion. It never felt *too small* though for couple's work. -Everything is immaculate. Like always. There are small props (like a sprig of greenery slipped into a faux skull or steampunk glasses on top of an open, old book) that really make the attention-to-details here stand out. CONS: -Honestly, I have pretty much none. This studio, like Lion & Ram's other offerings, is flippin' gorgeous, as always. Everything is intricately put together, works great with natural light, and the "set-ups" that are there to make great photos always are cohesive and good-looking. Lion & Ram has a serious talent for that - which is why I keep driving an hour just to rent out their studios. -My *only* note would probably be that you'll want to bring a secondary hair/make-up chair for larger clients if using this for client work. The director's chair that's in the room is adorable, but it's not plus-friendly.
