I wanted a unique and surprise anniversary gift for my husband. After researching, I connected with J'adore Boudoir Photography's website. It show cased exactly the vision I had in mind- the ultimate boudoir experience. My photo shoot exceeded any expectations I had. I absolutely loved the experience from beginning to end! And most important, the photos that Shannon captured of me are stunning! I couldn't be more happy. Shannon and Katie had such a wonderful, welcoming nature with the perfect zest during the shoot. I'm extremely happy with the final product. Can't wait to give my husband his gift and capture his reaction read more

I'll start by saying if you are even remotely considering a boudoir shoot, look no further and book your appointment now!! Shannon is everything you could ever hope for in a photographer, nice, professional, knowledgeable, and so fun! I'm a relatively shy introvert, but that didn't matter. She makes you feel so comfortable from the start and the entire experience was just so perfect. Her eye for angles and lighting and how to showcase your body is unreal. I lost count of how many times I said "whoa!" after she showed me an image she captured. My confidence was through the roof that day. I flew to California from out of state because I wanted the best, and I got the best here with Shannon. Her wet set was also, hands down, worth every single penny and I think it's the best set in all boudoir photography. She works magic and I'm so happy I did the shoot with her! I cannot wait to gift my husband these photos!! read more

recently had a boudoir photography session with Shannon Martinez, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I arrived, Shannon made me feel so comfortable and at ease.

The photos turned out absolutely stunning--better than I could have ever imagined! Shannon has an incredible eye for detail and a true talent for capturing beauty and personality. If you're considering a boudoir session, I can't recommend Shannon Martinez enough. It was an empowering and unforgettable experience! read more

This was a once in a lifetime experience for me. Shannon was so great to work! She made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and empowered.

Never thought I would be able to do a photo shoot and have them come out so stunning! She walks you through poses and makes you feel at ease and confident in your skin. I can't thank her enough for helping me find my confidence again. read more

I don't really know where to start or what to say, except for WOW. Shannon has a superpower: making you see yourself as the radiant, spicy ,confident bombshell that everyone else already sees. Every picture, unedited and edited, was perfection, and felt so natural. She makes you feel beautiful, flawless, and UNIQUE What makes it even more special is Shannon herself. You can tell she's such a genuine person, and that authenticity pours into her work. It's truly a priceless gift. If you want to see yourself in a whole new light--the version of you that's always been there but maybe you've been too critical to notice--then go see Shannon. Seriously, you won't look at yourself the same way again. I went in with the excuse of doing something nice for my husband, but at the end of the day what she gave me was confidence, and it has seeped into every area of my life now and people notice! So truly thank you Shannon. You're amazing. . read more

I had pondered the idea of doing a boudoir shoot for years. After researching multiple photographers in my area I chose Shannon. I just could not stop admiring her work. When I showed up for my shoot and met her, I knew instantly I made the right decision. She was amazing...from the second I showed up, through the whole experience including deciding on my outfits, keeping me aware of my body postures, and reconnected me to all my parts in the shot, to choosing my photos in the end. Everything was the best experience I could have hoped for. If you are considering a boudoir shoot, Shannon is your girl. read more

Seeing my photos was such a huge confidence boost and I'm so excited to see the look on my husband's face when he sees them. Shannon has a way of making you feel comfortable instantly and she has truly mastered her craft. I highly recommend booking a session with her! read more

My husband bought me a session with Shannon for a Valentine's Day gift- I'm pretty sure it was a gift for him! At 57 years old, I wouldn't ever think of getting this done as I don't look like what I did in my 30s or even 40s. I was very nervous and self-conscious. BUT Shannon made me feel so comfortable and patiently directed me at every turn. She is a fantastic photographer and made me feel like a million bucks! I highly recommend her! read more

When I signed up for a boudoir shoot, I had no idea what to expect. It turned out to be an amazing experience! And all thanks to Shannon! She was so friendly and inviting, she made me feel comfortable right from the start. The day of the shoot was so fun! Shannon had a stylist do my hair/make up and after getting glammed up, we went through my outfits to see what would work best and where. Shannon showed me exactly how to pose and gave me feedback on how to look my best. After the photos were done, I had a fun session with her going over all the photos and choosing which ones to get printed. She takes her time with each client and I never felt rushed or forced to buy anything. She gave me her honest opinion on photos and helped me choose photos that I adore. I loved my boudoir session with Shannon and I cannot recommend it enough! If you are considering a boudoir shoot-- do it! And do it with Shannon! You won't regret it! read more

What an experience! This is definitely something I never really thought of or knew about, but boy am I glad I did. Shannon made me feel so comfortable and the whole experience was top notch. When I arrived she offered a mimosa for the nerves while I got my hair and makeup done. While I was doing that she also helped me narrow down my outfits (I think this was the most nerve-wracking part for me! what the heck do I wear!) We narrowed them down and matched each outfit with a 'set'. Once I had that all settled I felt SO MUCH BETTER. She could look at the outfits and guide me to know what would turn out best in what lightning, what is typically flattering, etc. After that, it was time to shoot! I got in my first outfit and she explained some of the poses and what she would be asking me to do (parse your lips, point your toes, etc). I had a good laugh for a lot of them because the pictures turn out looking AMAZING, but the 'behind the scenes' positions are not as sexy as the pictures ie, I am NOT a heels person so balancing was quite a funny sight I am sure. All in all the experience was perfect. She made me feel comfortable, beautiful, and we had fun. I would absolutely do this again!! And maybe I will... I now have all the outfits~ Thank you so much Shannon for an unforgettable experience and photographs that will help me remember my beauty! read more

Shannon is a true professional. She has a wonderful creative eye, a DARLING studio, and most importantly makes you feel so comfortable. I would definitely recommend anyone thinking about doing a shoot like this to call her and just chat. She is so sweet and will answer all of your questions so you feel confident moving forward. A boudoir photoshoot was an intimidating idea to me and definitely out of my comfort zone, but she made it so easy! She coached me through my outfit choices, even suggesting where to shop and all the poses and facial expressions; making it so fun! The pictures came out AMAZING, I am so excited! read more

Shannon is crazy talented and totally worth booking. I HIGHLY recommend her if you want to feel empowered and sexy. She makes you feel relaxed during the whole session and her photos speak for itself! read more

Shannon is amazing! I was super nervous at first , but Shannon made me feel comfortable and so good about myself. The end result photos were so beautiful.

The skill involved with the whole process is incredible and Shannon is a super pro. Love!!! read more

I cannot recommend Shannon highly enough. Having reviewed her work prior to my shoot, I had high expectations, and she exceeded them in every way. Not only was I blown away by the quality of the photos, but her warm and welcoming personality helped make what I expected to be an intimidating and uncomfortable experience into one that was enjoyable and empowering. I purchased this as a birthday gift for my husband, but in viewing my strength and beauty through Shannon's lens and not my own critical eyes, it certainly turned out to be a gift for myself too. It was worth every penny. read more

Absolutely AMAZING! I won a little giveaway Shannon was doing at the Bridal Bazar in January and was so excited to do a little something for my husband. I have never done a boudoir photoshoot before so I didn't know what to expect. I was nervous leading up to it because I was feeling slightly self conscious and thinking the photos would not turn out well at all. Well... I was completely wrong! My photos turned out SO GOOD and my husband and I absolutely love them. Shannon made me feel so comfortable and guided me through the whole session, she also gave me a mimosa to calm the nerves and had music playing in the background. I cannot express enough how comfortable I was during my whole shoot. I highly recommend Shannon to capture these photos for you, I promise you won't be disappointed!! read more

Shannon was absolutely AMAZING. My photos turned out better than I could have ever expected ! She makes you feel so comfortable. Her hair and make up girl did an amazing job as well.

Shannon spent a lot of time doing the shoot. Don't hesitate. Have confidence, fun, and go for it! read more

What can I not say about J'adore Boudoir Photography? This was my first boudoir shoot and I was nervous and wasn't sure what to expect. When you first arrive at the studio you get primped and pampered by a professional hair and makeup artist. Terry worked on me and transformed me from plain Jane to a bombshell! I loved the way she did my hair and makeup. After you finish getting glammed up Shannon goes over your outfit selections with you and the different settings and what to expect. She even offers you a mimosa. Shannon was an amazing photographer and her work is so classy. She tells you what to do the entire time, from how to position your body, turn your face, relax your lips . . . just do what she tells you to do and your photos will turn out beautifully! I admit, it felt awkward at first but once she starts working with you you start to relax. She's a true professional and she knows her stuff!
