She made me feel amazing and gave me so many great suggestions for the positions and different outfits that I would not typically see myself doing! She went above and beyond to make me feel confident and amazing. My photos came out so great that I don't even have words to describe how great my overall experience was with Jodi. I will definitely be referring her to my friends and family, as well as zing back for maternity and family photos. So blessed to have found her. She works about an hour away from me but well worth the drive!!! Will recommend her to anyone who is interested and wants to have an outstanding experience and photos! Tanya was my makeup artist. I have been good with makeup but today, Tanya made me feel way better about my makeup. My photos turned out so much better having her so my makeup. My hair is about 18-20in long and she curled it flawlessly. Best experience I have had with a makeup artist. She asked me what I wanted but never did I expect it to Come out so great! I felt so beautiful and definitely highlighted my cheek bones and features on my face. So great and felt very welcome!

But I did it -loved it , and had a lot of fun feeling feminine and sensual even in my 50's. It was I gift for my husband but also myself. As someone who is typically more comfortable taking the photos than being in them, it was nice to see myself in a flattering light with no judgement but my own. It is something I can hang on to and even if I never show anyone - it is a powerful thing to have for yourself. Knowing you can be strong, professional, resilient , etc but also have this feminine part of yourself documented as part of you also, is really cool-whether you share it or not. That being said -my husband loved it ;)

Every woman (and man) should treat themselves to a boudoir session, even if it is just for yourself and not someone else. I felt confident after and I loved the images I received.

From the initial phone call, I was engulfed by Jen's wonderful energy and even though I had nerves going into it, I knew that I was in the hands of someone I could trust and if I just followed her guidance I would be fine... and BOY WAS I RIGHT! This experience changed my life. I had so much fun getting hair and makeup done, then taking the actual photos! Nerves went away instantly and I felt like I was in the presence of a long time friend! After, looking at the unedited pictures gave me, for the first time in my life, confidence and a true inner feeling of love for myself. Just have felt beautiful, sexy, and confident ever since. Now that I've received my final pictures, all I can say is DAMN CAN JEN TAKE A GOOD PHOTO! They all look so amazing I want to look at them constantly and show them to everyone!

Abby was amazing!!! She helped my wife overcome her nerves and really enjoy the session. Make up and hair were done amazingly - we brought some of the outfits and borrowed some from Abby's collection. Amazing photographer and an even better person. By the end of the session I could see the confidence in my wife's eye and joy in her heart. Once we reviewed the photos (Which we loved) my wife told Abby that she loved everything about the experience. Abby was thoughtful, professional and very caring. From the set, to lighting to the poses - first class all the way. I would strongly recommend Abby to anyone wanting to get their sexy back. Can't wait to receive the beautiful book.

If you've considered boudoir and aren't sure where to start, I couldn't recommend Lynn more. I…read morewanted to do a shoot for my husband for our first anniversary (the paper anniversary). Having to reschedule my shoot several times due to a surprise summer job, and later a last minute vacation, Lynn was very accommodating and to say the least, very patient with all the reschedules! We had a consultation early on that laid out how the shoot would work and what my package options were (there's definitely something for everyone). I settled on a special package that included a photo album, digital copies on a usb, and a digital brag book for our phones. I wasn't particularly nervous going into the shoot, as I am already very comfortable with my body, but for anyone having any doubts, I assure you that Lynn makes everything not only comfortable, but fun! Though I did not partake, there is always wine available at the shoot to help ease your nerves too! My hair and makeup was done by Erica and I'd highly recommend doing the same. It makes it so much easier to jump right into the shoot and you don't have to worry about your hair or makeup getting messed up before hand. Besides, Erica does an amazing job and made me feel gorgeous! The shoot is laid out in an apartment and Lynn walks you through all your poses, even facial expressions. She definitely knows what she is doing! It was amazing going through the photos after she was done with them....and SO HARD to choose between them for the book! She had me looking gorgeous! I must have gone over the photos a half dozen times before I settled on my final choices; again Lynn was very patient :) My book took a couple weeks to come in and I couldn't wait. I checked my email compulsively for the message that it had arrived. The book was an amazing quality and Lynn presented it in a pretty, sturdy, gray box with a pink bow. To say that my husband loved it would be an understatement! He was blown away! And knowing that he can carry the digitals on his phone and computer was a bonus! In short, I could not be happier with my experience and have already mentioned it to several of my friends! Even if you don't have a significant other, do it for yourself...you won't regret it!

I could scarcely believe the gorgeous, sexy woman in the photos was me! Lynn has a real talent for choosing just the right lighting and angles to make her subjects look amazing. Her photos are worthy of a Maxim or Vogue cover. Honestly, they are that good. I went into my viewing session rather skeptical. I mean, I know my body and have never liked being photographed. But, when I saw the quality of Lynn's work, I was amazed. I left her studio even liking my thighs, which is no small thing (neither are they!) Lynn's artistry starts from the time you set up a consultation. You get to see many backgrounds and areas from which Lynn will compose her shots of you. During the shoot, Lynn made me very comfortable. I never had an awkward moment even though I wore only lingerie and swimwear and in some shots, only bubbles. And don't worry about your hair or makeup. Lynn has a professional makeup artist right at the session. My hair and makeup looked AMAZING thanks to Erica. Other photogs may charge less, but they won't do as beautiful a job as Lynn Dao. If you want tasteful, sexy artistry, choose Boudoir in Bloom.

Hollywood Photo came up for passport photos so I put in an inquiry on the website. I received a response that yes they did passport photos and to call. I have to admit I was annoyed at having to call but seconds into my call on the phone with Tolga I had a smile on my face. He's just a super pleasant guy! It was easy to schedule an appointment, and the studio is easy to find, just off the 51. There's parking literally in front of the door too! Tolga is just as nice in person and you can tell he really loves his job! I asked him some questions about what he loves about photography and his face was so animated. I love seeing people love what they do! We took a new photo quickly and I gave my approval. Such a better photo than at the drugstore! Better lighting, better camera, and someone who actually knows what they are doing and cares makes a huge difference. Tolga let me know that the digital photo acceptance for passports has been tricky and to let him know if I had an issue. When I tried to submit the next day, I did have an issue and sent him an email. He replied right away with a new image file and that worked great. Not only did I get a photo I was much happier with, it was also a really pleasant experience. I would absolutely recommend Tolga for any photography needs!

When I called to schedule my appointment, I was told they were booked til after my groupon expired, so they were extending it, which I thought was lovely. The girl on the phone was super nice and asked if I wanted to add hair and makeup, which I immediately said yes to. I also added on an outfit change, woohoo! After booking my appointment, I was emailed a list of what to wear and what not to wear and other important tips. When the day finally arrived, I was super excited, but still a little nervous. When I got there, the makeup/hair chick was super cool and helped ease my nerves. She was fun to chat with and we were cracking up while she curled my mane. I usually am pretty minimal with my makeup, so I almost crapped at the amount she put on my face, but she said it looked better to have more on in the photos. Then Melissa showed up (my paparazzi) and she was super nice, too. She showed me around the studio and I showed her the outfits I brought and we talked about what we were going to shoot first and background colors, etc. Now, clearly, I'm not a model...however, she gave really helpful directions and made it a little easier for me to pose for the camera. Well, a glass of Champagne was also included in the shoot, so that helped a little, too:) After the shoot, I sat down with her and we looked through all of the photos and chose my faves for her to email to me for me to decide which ones I wanted prints of. They just arrived in my inbox yesterday and the little lady and I looked them over together. Needless to say, it's going to be hard to pick just a few, as I really love a lot of them! They did a great job making me look hot! Oooh la la!

Ladies, go here…read more From the first interaction with Flash's owners: Melissa and Tina, I knew this was going to be a great time. Just looking at their website you can see what beautiful work they do. They took me on a tour of the studio and then had me lay out my outfits and piles of high heels (yes, I'm kind of a shoe addict) and helped me pick out the most flattering outfits for my pictures. Have I ever done anything like this before? no! Was it enjoyable and easy? Yes! Do they offer you champagne to help put your nerves at ease? yes...yum! After my session was over they gave me a sneak peek of some of my pictures and I am super excited to get them!! Forget the usual watch/tie/etc gift that you get for your boyfriend/husband...THIS is what he wants! Besides, every girl should have the chance to get totally pampered beautiful and have some gorgeous photographs to look back on. I'm really glad I took the chance to do it this year....it really was a good motivator to not only get some extra toning in (uh oh...three months until I standing in skimpy outfits in front of the camera!) but also to have something memorable as I get older....because let's face it, nobody has learned how to turn back time on our age...haha :) Totally worth the drive up from Tucson! P.S. I saw photos of women of all shapes/sizes/ages in their studio...they really are talented at bringing out the gorgeous in everyone....will update my review after I see the final product :)
