Every person should do this for themselves. I was so nervous but Cheryl was amazing, she made you feel very comfortable. And the makeup artist, Brittney was incredible! She gave me the look I wanted (that I didn't even know I wanted) In a situation like this, if you're a control freak like me, try and let the professionals guide you. Shots and poses that I thought would look silly or made me uncomfortable ended up being some of my favorite photos.

Cheryl's work is truly priceless, I wish every woman could have this opportunity. I was nervous, as…read moreI'm sure most are. I'm a 45 year old women that wasn't in the shape I wanted to be but I really wanted to do this for my husband's 50th. Little did I know this would be for me too, as much, if not more. Nikoma, the fabulous hair and makeup person was so personable and really helped me feel welcomed and special. Cheryl came in, got a few of my ideas and was all direction from outfits to how to poses, I didn't have to think about anything, she knows what she's doing. I came back an hour after the shoot to choose the photos (the hardest part). They were all so stunning and the most eye opening thing was that they were gorgeous even before editing! After, once I had sometime to process the experience I was brought to tears multiple times thinking about how different I was seeing myself, in a very body positive way. I came to her for a product but I left with so much more. I can't recommend this enough. Such an incredible experience and keepsake.

I'm in my 50's and this was my first time doing this kind of photoshoot. My experience was…read morefantastic and I'm so glad I had the courage to love on my self to capture this Me after 3 kids! I was a bit apprehensive, but after the consultation I was excited to get started. We discussed my feelings and intentions, how the shoot works, what things to wear and of course the variety of packages. It's all at your comfort level. The studio was clean and beautiful. Meditation before the shoot made the experience even more relaxing. Marissa guides you on how to pose during the shoot and makes sure you are comfortable. She invites you share with her, your thoughts and ideas of what poses you would like to do/try. She takes a lot of pictures and they come out aaaammmmaaaazzzing! She makes picking out the photos easy, so it's not overwhelming. If you've ever wanted to do a boudoir shoot, definitely make an appt at "Goddess Rising Boudoir" . No excuses!! Your size, age or gender is no matter! You will have the best experience with Marissa

I don't even know where to begin, because this experience touched me in ways I truly didn't expect…read more From the very first message, Marissa made me feel safe, seen, and completely at ease. Walking into a boudoir session can feel vulnerable, but she has this rare gift of turning nerves into confidence and self-doubt into quiet joy. Every step of the process felt thoughtful and empowering. Marissa guided me gently, celebrated me loudly, and somehow captured versions of me I hadn't seen in a long time. The images are stunning, yes, but what matters more is how I felt during and after the session: strong, beautiful, and unapologetically myself. This wasn't just a photoshoot. It was a reminder of my worth, my softness, my power, and my story. Marissa doesn't just take photos, she holds space, builds trust, and creates magic with her camera and her heart. If you're even thinking about booking a boudoir session, let this be your sign. You will leave feeling transformed, uplifted, and so incredibly proud of yourself. I will treasure these photos forever, but I will treasure the experience even more.

Jezebel vonZephyr. What can I say that will encompass the amazing experience I had? Well... a lot…read more I've already rewritten this because I could EASILY write 2 or 3 pages singing the praise!! (no really, my last attempt had already reached a whole page and I wasn't even done yet!) First. Body Positivity? Jezebels has it in SPADES! And not the fake body positivity that's kinda toxic and icky. I mean they really want to help everyone celebrate their female form. Boudoir can often bring really specific vibes to mind, leaving people with bigger bodies, smaller bodies, "straighter" bodies feeling unsure how to participate. HAVE NO FEAR, JEZEBEL VONZEPHYR IS HERE! They will help you with everything. If you have ideas, great! They'll work with them. If you have NO ideas, that's ok! Their creativity seems to know no bounds. If you have extensive collections of sexy, sultry things, bring them on it! If not, they have an amazing treasure trove of...everything: bras, panties, corsets, stockings, shoes, dresses, skirts, tops, robes, jewelry, etc. And they post videos going through their client closet so you can get an idea ahead of time of what might excite you to try! These Client Closet tours are posted on their Facebook group which is another amazing thing about them. The people in this Facebook group are so kind and they are 100% here to hype you up and help celebrate you as you are. Besides glimpses into the client closet, they also feature "Seize the Selfie" posts encouraging group members to post any selfie where they were really feeling themselves. It's truly a great community they're building. On the actual day of my photoshoot, I packed up my stuff and went to their absolutely amazing studio. They have 9 sets and at least one that gets updated throughout the year. I got to experience this one in the "Something Wicked This Way Comes" setup. Gorgeous! It's giving darkness. It's giving sensuous. It's giving "I have your heart in my hand... literally as well as figuratively". To say I felt powerful on this set would be an understatement. 100% no notes. Sarah worked with what I brought and supplemented from the client closet as needed. She picked pieces I never would have considered but everyone had done so much to cultivate this air of trust and safety that I knew I could just RUN with it. Sometimes, you gotta let the professionals do their stuff, you know?! I think the thing that floored me the most was the inclusion of my walking stick. I have a few health conditions that can make it hard to hold poses, do stairs, or just... remain steady. Since the studio DOES have some serious stairs, I'd brought it to make sure I could get up there. Sarah was immediately on board with working my walking stick (I mean... it's more like a staff, being over 4 or 5 ft) into the sessions. I know I mentioned body positivity but let me just say it again. TALK ABOUT BODY POSITIVITY! We're not going to hide this mobility aid; we're going to celebrate ALL of you and that includes this. From the minute I walked in, to the minute I walked out, and if I'm being honest it's been a continuing feeling since then, I felt celebrated and powerful. I haven't even had my image reveal appointment yet and I'm already percolating ideas for another go! Addicted? Uh... yeah, maybe a bit *heart emoji* This photo is a fun (and family-friendly) reminder of my amazing day. While I was getting my makeup down by the amazing Angelica (please forgive me if I get your name wrong, you were an amazing INTEGRAL part of the day!), Sarah came over with a bunch of cards. I just let the spirit direct me to the right card and I pulled this amazing quote. I had definitely been feeling like I'd gotten L after L recently and this was exactly the message I needed. Yes, there were tears. Afterwards, I not only got this amazing image as a reminder (yeah, those origami stars were something I brought to work into the session) but I also got the actual card and a super saucy Polaroid memento!!!

I saw their ad. Thought it looked good. Thought I read all of what they offer, but apparently not…read more I got their estimate for getting the pics taken...($3**.00), but I did not see the fine print where digital copies are an extra $3**.00. Before I saw the fine print about the digital photos costing an arm and a leg, I put down the $3**.00 for scheduling a time. Then, when they called me to confirm everything, I told them I can't afford $6**.00 to $7**.00 for photos with digital. That's just way too much. They said they couldn't give me a refund....(wtf), so I told them, you'll be seeing my comment on Yelp! It seems scammy to me.

Shooting with erica was a personal revelation. Committed to technical excellence in her craft, what…read moremakes erica stand out as a photographer is her emotional dexterity. After being a part of multiple group shoots, I watched her rejoice in her subjects' uninhibited sexuality and then walk someone through their body image baggage with equal parts humor and tenderness. Her attentiveness to detail not only in aesthetic but also how the people she works with are feeling (and there are sometimes a lot feelings!) creates images that are unique, intimate and striking. Also, payment plans are a thing! Inclusive, queer focused, class conscious, photography. What a dream !

As someone that places a large emphasis on anniversary shoots as not only a capture of a…read morerelationship but also as who each of the individuals are at that particular moment in time. Shooting with Erica, a thoughtful, intuitive, and talented photographer, was a complete joy. I shot on location, but I'm incredibly jealous of those that are able to shoot in this gorgeous studio!

Sophia/Blush Boudoir is amazing amazing amazing!…read more From start to finish Sophia made me feel very comfortable despite doing very uncomfortable poses. She had snacks to keep yout energy up and she was not uncomfortable helping you out to put those tricky garters on. When time came to start, she gave very good directions and quite a fee laughters were shared along the way. The best part was, I couldn't wait to see the proofs! Sophia was so fun! She also had connections to amazing make up artists. So you can feel super beautiful inside and out! Another reason I would recommend Sophia/Blush Boudoir is that her place is gorgeous with the most amazing lighting. Also, very reasonable pricing for a Boudoir shoot. I am happy to know that she will also start doing maternity shoots. I will definitely remember to call Sophia again when that time comes. I encourage everyone to do a boudoir shoot and I absolutely recommend Sophia/Blush Boudoir for an awesome session!

Alice is absolutely AMAZING! From start to finish she makes the experience a unique fit for you,…read moreyour style, your comfort and embraces YOU! Beginning with communication surrounding a mood board prior to my shoot, up through meeting to select my pictures post-shoot it was a top notch experience. She creates a fun and comfortable atmosphere where you feel safe exploring a side of you that I definitely hadn't explored before. She went above and beyond to capture looks I envisioned and never rushed us through the process. She made me feel like a super model. She has a warm heart and demeanor. Alice takes the time to genuinely get to know you. Prior to my shoot I found myself questioning if this was more for my husband or for me. It felt so indulgent and promoted self-love. I highly recommend this to everyone and anyone. You can wear as much or as little clothing as you like, there are no rules and Alice encourages you to embrace what you want the experience to be. Initially I was a bit hesitant about the price...in the end she was worth every penny! I even spent more to splurge on a bigger package since so many pictures turned out fabulous! Alice is your girl!
