    DeBoudoir - One of my fabulous pics in my Gallery

    Recently I have been toying with the notion of memorializing my sexy 34 year old body in some other…read moremedium than iPhone selfies. While researching the idea, I came upon deBoudoir Photography. One look at their website and I was sold. They have numerous photo galleries, clear pricing, and an informative FAQ. I made my appointment online, with no hassles an eagerly awaited my big day. On the day of my "shoot" I prepared all of sexy lingerie, dazzling jewelry, and other assorted props that I knew would showcase my personality. It was fun to channel my inner Kate Moss and feel like a supermodel on the way to a gig. When I arrived at the studio, I immediately knew that I was about to be treated to a high end experience. The studio is a beautiful New Orleans home that is not necessarily converted into a sterile photography workplace. It maintains the charm and romance. I was greeted by Latoya and Skye who allowed me a glass of champagne while I browsed the lingerie display. I knew ahead of time that I wanted to purchase a corset and I was cinched into the perfect one! Once I made my corset selection, I slipped into a robe for hair and make up. Latoya discussed several options of how to style my hair and what make up would suit me best. The girl was amazing. My concern, as a girl who wears little make up, was that I would look like a clown. That was definitely not the case. It was as it she knew me for years and she created a sultry, smoky look without being harsh. When she was done, I was given to Skye, my photographer. She was a sweetheart and provided great tunes to move to. She knew what positions to pose me in to complement my best features and suggested different shoes, panties and jewelry to get the most flattering shots. Skye has a dynamic rock star personality and she made me feel like I was Claudia Schiffer. There were two staging rooms; one was sweet and dainty with pink satin sheets, the other was dark and heavy with black satin and a black velvet chaise lounge. We spent about two and a half to three hours in four different looks. Then we did a mini-session of "fine art." By this point I was ready for anything, and I knew I needed to experience the nude shots. What a rush! I was sad when it was over, but terribly excited to see the outcome. I scheduled my consult (photo viewing) for about a week later. There were several issues, which were my fault, with the scheduling; but it all worked out perfect because they were willing to work with me and reschedule me twice. All it took was a phone call and everything was reset. When it finally came time to view the shots, I was floored. I consulted with Valerie, and thank God she was there. There were about 150 images to choose from! I was like a vain girl in a mirror store! After about an hour of deliberation, Valerie helped me narrow it down to 12 amazing photos. She was very patient with my indecisiveness and displayed the photos in a way to help me make the best choice. This was a fabulous place and I recommend every girl unleash that bit of Cindy Crawford that lives inside us all.

    I had my photo shoot done on August 31. I had the most amazing group of group of women who guided…read moreme thru an unforgettable memory . From the make-up artist, hair stylist , photographer , sales consultant & Lingerie Consultant amazing team . Completely professional & classy ladies .

    I booked because I read a lot of great reviews about Heather and Jamie, and Heather said she would…read morebe the lead photographer when I signed the contract. Three days prior to the wedding she had someone else text me that she couldn't make it due to a hip surgery, even though I talked to her a week prior and she acted like she would be there. I reached out to Heather to voice my concerns and she had an excuse for just about everything so I left it at that. Aside from the two photographers that did show up, were kind, and did a great job, the company's management style, including editing and album design felt depersonalized, half-assed and shady. I definitely got the vibe that as a New Orleans client I wasn't a priority and was more of a money grab now that Heather and Jaime have moved to Houston.

    We were incredibly disappointed with our entire experience with Dark Roux. While we did get some…read morevery nice photos, overall we felt that we did not get the product advertised. We spent almost $5000 for about 480 pictures (for 2 photographers and a 7-hour session) that, in our opinion, did not come close to resembling the quality of the photos advertised. There is a whole story here of what we went through with the company, our credit card company, and the accusations by this company on their social media regarding our experience-however, it's not worth going into it. For any couple looking to hire a wedding photographer, I would highly recommend asking to view the ENTIRE portfolio from any company's most recent wedding before making your decision to hire someone for this very important day. If you want to see our wedding portfolio from this company, ask for the Nichols wedding from March 2020-make sure you get the whole set (again, about 480 photos). We posted a few of the many photos we received from Dark Roux that we feel were unusable below.
