    All the people are friendly and nice. Never felt that beautiful as they guide you to embrace the best in you. They guide you on how to "umph" every curve you have. It is a great experience.

    Birthday treat to myself I haven't done a boudoir photoshoot in over a decade . I was lucky stumble across @fembudoir on instagram and I'm so glad I did! From getting my hair & makeup done to feeling completely pampered, the whole experience was amazing. Jiyeon was such a pro at posing me (I swear I was running on one brain cell most of the shoot ) and she made me feel so comfortable and confident. Ladies--if you've ever thought about trying a boudoir photoshoot, I highly recommend booking with Jiyeon at Fem Budoir.

    This review has been long overdue. It has been 2 months when I was here. I have to say this was my first and best experience in doing this for me. I never thought I would be doing a boudoir shoot at all but I did it! It had always been on my mind when I would come across this kind of photography through social media. I saw a promotional ad pop up on my IG in description where I would pay a fee of my age and receive a gift. This was perfect so I thought to sign and give it a shot. I just explain why I should get this. Did that and heard back during the week through txt/email? Forgot which one but later found out I was one of the chosen for this. I got a chance to speak with the owner, Jiyeon, and I have to say when speaking to her she was such a delight. So sweet and kind in hearing with what I had to say. Just made me feel comfortable already. So a date was set. A few days after my birthday. I had some pieces ready and bagged with me to take. Honestly I felt nervous when the day came but as soon as I got in everything went by in a breeze. Jiyeon did everything so effortlessly. It first started with the makeup and hair. A makeup artist had done my hair and makeup while Jiyeon had me beforehand take out what was going to be used for the shoot. From there she asked if we could do a red lip since I had asked for a more natural look. I trusted them so I let them go with what would be best. And I have to say glad we went with the red lip. After all of that part was done we headed upstairs for the shoot. Changed after each shoot and article that was changed. Jiyeon directed me with how to pose and of course I just followed. She really made me feel at ease and comfortable in everything that she did. When the shoot was over headed downstairs into her office space where she uploads everything and shows off the photos on a monitor for choosing. I was amazed and happy with the outcome. A lot may think it's pricey for these type of photos but there is a reason for it! Very memorable for the long run on my part. I was extremely pleased with the outcome of it all and it's something that I finally did for myself. I put myself down a lot with how I look but I'm learning (and trying) to get to a place where I can accept myself and work on me. Not to listen to a lot of the negative noise. Jiyeon really made me feel good with this. I am happy to have scratched this off my I guess bucket list. So if you want those sexy photos for yourself or to share with your significant other I suggest to give this place a go.

    From the first moment I came in contact with Jiyeon, I felt comfortable. Honestly, at first, I wasn't sure what I was getting into, but I knew there was a reason for it if it was happening. Throughout the process, she guided me and made me feel very comfortable. As the photo shoot got closer and closer, she checked in and ensured all her ducks were in a row. She is very organized and meticulous about everything. Once I arrived at the studio, she made me feel welcome. She was so warm and friendly. It felt like I had known her for a lifetime. I got my hair and makeup done, and it felt incredible. Once upstairs, Jiyeon eased into the photo shoot and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. If you are ever looking for someone to do a photo shoot with, I highly recommend her. I look forward to doing another one, maybe in 10 years, for my 50th. Or who knows maybe sooner

    Adorable personalized welcome!

    I cannot sing Jiyeon's praises loud enough!!! This was a transformative experience for me. I was brought to tears by my photos and couldn't believe how beautiful I was. There wasn't one photo that made me cringe or feel negative about my body. Jiyeon knows how to make a woman look good and guides you with extreme care and support. She was extremely professional and made me feel safe and secure every step of the way. From start to finish, I felt like a princess. They took such great care of me. When looking through the photos at the end, Jiyeon didn't try to upsell or pressure me into getting more than I could afford. How refreshing. It was all about what I needed. Also, I didn't expect to have such a hard time narrowing down my favorites. What a great problem to have! Thank you Jiyeon and the Fem Boudoir Team! I will never forget this experience and will definitely be looking at my photos everyday for at least the next year or two.

    This is such a beautiful experience to be apart of. You see yourself in a different light.. The process is absolutely amazing from the style guide and diversity in the pictures that you provided, being greeted so beautifully and seeing pictures hung of other peoples shoots. The environment is so inviting and calm. Jiyeon gave me direction for my whole shoot. I felt very comfortable and confident my whole Shoot. I truly believe that everyone should experience this at least once in their lifetime. When we finished and I got to see my photos, I cried the minute I seen them. I've never felt so beautiful and happy with myself more than before seeing those photos. I will always remember this experience and always be so grateful that Jiyeon went above and beyond with making me happy.

    After my reclamation session

    Fem Boudoir divinely appeared on my Instagram feed, and I intuitively knew--this was for me. My session took place on Venus Day, April 18th, 2025. From the very beginning, everything flowed. The phone consultation was clear and supportive, and Jiyeon followed up with emails to help me feel prepared and grounded. My sacred preparation included two lingerie fits, a Brazilian wax, a fresh mani-pedi, and shaping my brows--acts of devotion to myself. Upon entering the studio, I was warmly welcomed by Jiyeon and Bianca. Bianca did my hair and makeup--we instantly clicked over our mutual love for Spongebob Squarepants! I asked her for a sultry look with a blowout and soft curls, and she delivered it flawlessly. When it was time to shoot, it was just Jiyeon and me. Her energy was soft, grounded, and genuinely nurturing. She held the space with so much tenderness that I felt safe, confident, and free to surrender into the moment. For me, this session was more than a photoshoot--it was a RECLAMATION. Reclaiming my divinity. Reclaiming my body. Embracing my dark femininity. Loving myself exactly as I am. As I waited to see the photos, Jiyeon and I shared a deeply meaningful conversation--one I'll never forget. Looking through the captured codes and choosing my favorites felt surreal. Even after I left, my mind couldn't fully process what had just happened. Because this wasn't just a shoot... This was a REBIRTH. In real time. I told Jiyeon I'm definitely coming back--and I meant it with all my heart. I am in love with my photos. This is not a one-time experience for me--it's a sacred ritual. I plan to return again and again to honor every new version of me that is born. Yes, it's an investment--but one that pours directly into your aura, your self-worth, and your healing. This experience is for you. And you are worth it!

    It's the extra personal touches for me

I brought four outfits from home, but ended up borrowing from the studio one amazing piece. Along with shoes and jewelry this studio was stocked. Christina the owner and photographer was so talented. I never felt rushed. She did not seem like she was in a hurry. She made sure I was positioned to be the most flattering and would help me adjust things as needed. Once my session was over, she explained to me the process for getting my album. She gave me options for the cover and let me choose the photos I wanted in the album. Along with that came a flash drive with all of my photos taken on the day. Within two weeks my album arrived at my door and it is beautiful. I would recommend this studio to anyone who might be afraid to do a session like this. I was never uncomfortable and I'm not normally photogenic. This was a great experience!

I researched different photographers and Andrea caught my eye for 2 reasons: her beautiful, timeless and elegant photos and her dialogue around doing a boudoir photo shoot. She starts with introspective questions about what you want to portray in your photos. She nurtures a healthy body image along the way and makes you feel your best from the inside out. That is truly her magic. The day itself was so special where I got to step out of my normal routine and into the routine of a super model. Andrea and her team had every detail worked out, so I could just relax and go with it. I visited Andrea again to review the photos to choose my favorites. There were too many and I ended up making the book bigger to solve that "problem." The end product is two books (boudoir + fine art) full of beautiful, professional photos. I gifted the book the morning of our wedding day and my now husband was absolutely floored. They now live on his nightstand and we both look at the often. Thank you, Andrea! When can we do it again?!?!

I actually found him after speaking with a different boudoir photography company whose ad I had seen on Instagram; I decided to do some research before committing to anyone, and found Cheshire on Yelp, checked out his website, and put in an inquiry. He called me very quickly and the conversation was so different from the other places I spoke with! Instead of just laying out "here's how it works, here's what you get for this price," etc., he asked a lot about what I was looking for, what I hoped to get out of it, my motivations or inspirations, etc. That personal touch carried throughout the experience. He consistently made an effort to understand what I was looking for--from the planning process to the photo shoot to going through the photos afterward--to make sure that I got exactly what I was hoping for. The photos themselves are absolutely awesome. It's incredible the different looks and feels he creates in a relatively small studio. More importantly, he just has an incredible eye for what is going to look good and how to create looks, moods, etc. I felt super comfortable the whole time, and I think that shows in the final product. Everyone who has seen my pictures has been blown away. He's way more than just a photographer; he's a true artist. Never in a million years had I ever imagined having a giant naked photo of myself on my wall, and yet here we are...and everyone who's seen it has been amazed. Can't recommend him highly enough!
