The whole experience was so much fun! I also really appreciated all of her help leading up to the shoot, from styling advice to connecting me with hair and makeup. I felt beautiful that day, and I know a lot of that came from the environment and energy she created. The session ended up being more empowering than I expected. It was something I didn't realize I needed until I experienced it. I'd absolutely work with Carrie Anne again and would recommend her to anyone considering booking a session.

The "journey" Carrie Anne set me on leading up to the actual boudoir session was arguably a bigger part of the photo shoot for me. ;) Carrie had a time line of to-do's for me, websites for garments I might want to buy, soooo much I wasn't expecting. And on the way, I found a new comfort with myself. By the time I got to Carrie Anne's for the photography... I was ready for this! I brought extra outfits and accessories and Carrie Anne helped me dial it in for an unforgettable experience. It's been about 3 years since my session and I still recall it like yesterday. I am close to 60 and have never felt so good about myself - not in a vain way. I was absolutely comfortable with me. Carrie Anne has a beautiful way about her. She'll set you at ease, and make this moment an unforgettable and personal experience. DO IT - you'll be happy you did. (Thank you, Carrie Anne!)

This review is long overdue!…read more I have had the pleasure of working with Beth twice. once about 10 years ago and, most recently, a couple of weeks ago. She is absolutely incredible at making you feel comfortable, confident, sexy, and, most importantly, like you're having FUN! I am beyond impressed with her work. Not only is Beth an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also an amazing makeup artist. She did my makeup for both of my shoots, and she also brought in the sweetest hairstylist to take care of my hair. Every detail came together beautifully, and the final results exceeded my expectations both times. If you've ever considered doing a photoshoot for yourself, your significant other, or simply as a way to celebrate yourself, I genuinely cannot recommend Beth enough. She creates such a comfortable and fun environment, and you can truly tell how passionate she is about what she does. Beth is incredibly talented, and she absolutely does not disappoint!

From the…read moreinitial booking process to the day of the shoot, my experience with Pussycat Pinups Boudoir Photography was absolutely amazing. Beth was incredibly patient and took the time to listen to my vision while also offering her professional expertise and creative suggestions. She did my makeup, and a hairstylist styled my hair, making me feel beautiful, glamorous, and confident from the start. Even when I found myself in some funny, awkward poses, Beth made me feel completely comfortable. I trusted her and the process, and I ended up having so much fun! I was able to do multiple outfit changes, and she had a wonderful variety of backgrounds and backdrops to choose from. She created such a welcoming atmosphere with music, laughter, and easy conversation throughout the entire session. One of the things I appreciated most was the value. She offers several great package options, and mine included all of the photos plus a selection of professionally edited images. I also had Beth create a beautiful photo album as a gift for my husband, and he absolutely loved it! If you're considering a boudoir photoshoot, I highly recommend Pussycat Pinups Boudoir Photography. It was an empowering, fun, and unforgettable experience that left me feeling confident and celebrated.

I am not super experienced in front of a camera, but her direction and guidance gave me so much confidence that I looked great. Her studio is not very big, but she knows how to use every bit of the space to give you a huge variety of shots to choose from. The experience of the photo shoot was one thing, but the photos themselves were also absolutely incredible. We had a hard time narrowing down the shots we wanted to use with the package that we ordered because they ALL looked amazing. She is an extremely talented artist and I regret not booking her for a boudoir shoot before I was expecting! If she can pull this off when I am super pregnant, I can only imagine the kind of magic she could work when I'm actually feeling sexy. I would love to work with her again in the future.

Of course, I thought "Sure, this isn't for me, it's really for you honey!" However, I finally got into the mood and welcomed the day to arrive. I was surprised at how relaxed I felt with Kellie, and she had a glass of champagne waiting for me while my hair and makeup were done. Fortunately, I found some really great outfits to wear and Kellie directed me how to pose, etc. I felt completely beautiful and sexy during the session and was excited for my husband to see how it all turned out! He was completely blown away with the finished product and so was I!!! This truly has been a gift FOR me, not just my husband. I highly recommend that EVERY woman make the time to honor herself, regardless of age, and contact Kellie Foster to set up a Boudior Photoshoot!!!

My experience took place in May 2011. The photographer (a young girl) did a good job making it an…read moreenjoyable comfortable experience. I was at easy and not self conscious at all, she help guide posing and would just snap when there was something natural flowing that worked for a photo. I was not impressed with the editing done for final product of the book we received (not sure who did editing). Over all I was satisfied and my husband loved the photos which is all that truly matters; just being a photography student I have my own ideas on editing so I just wasn't as pleased as I was hoping to be. There were some duplicate photos in the book that only the color was changed or photo cropped slightly to tighten the frame. Some blemishes were not edited out as requested (including printing on the bottom of the shoes I wore that was visible in several photos and just not attractive to look at). I fully understand artistic preference and creative differences but again some photos selected for final product were not included, others where just duplicates, specific editing requests were ignores (which just came across lazy and not wanting to do it). I fully enjoyed the experience and my husband loved (still does) the photos but it was not perfect. But if you are wanting to do a shoot I highly recommend it! (Even elsewhere). It can be just what you need to give yourself a good confidence boost and just realize how amazingly beautiful you are!

I went to check out the studio and browse the outfits before I scheduled a shoot. I found out the books start at $249, however they have a mini accordion for $99. Cherish was so great beforehand, at the shoot, and was so patient while I decided what pictures I wanted. Cherish took over 200 pictures of me and surprisingly a lot of them came out fantastic. I loved them before they were even edited. I was super self conscious since I've gained weight but she made me look great. I would definitely do this again and I recommend going through her. Unless you want a book I would get the $29 living social deal. It was worth every penny.

My friend did a shoot with Boudoir Divas before her wedding in 2017, and while I loved her photos,…read moreI wasn't sure it was for me. However, once I got engaged, my fiancé and I were with my friend and her husband, and the way he spoke about how much be loved and "used" the photos when she was recovering from giving birth convinced me to do boudoir photos for my fiancé. Naturally, I was nervous about doing them, but they informed me that in their entire time in business, they have never had a leak. More importantly, the pictures are so tasteful that if they did get out, at least there is no actual nudity at all. Before your shoot, they send you a super detailed and helpful e-mail about what to bring/order, what they have that you can wear, where to park, and anything else you can think of! Definitely read the whole e-mail even though it's lengthy because it's got lots of useful stuff in there! I did the By the Sea Shoot, which is only done on Saturdays from about 3:15/3:30-7:15/7:30 p.m. includes 1-1.5 hours of hair and make-up. My schedule went like this: 3:30 p.m.-4:45ish p.m.: Ashley did my hair and make-up while giving me some champagne to relax and loosen up 4:45-5:00 p.m.: Get into outfit # 1 5:00 p.m.-6:45 p.m. ish: -Photos in outfit # 1, -Change into outfit # 2 and pics in that outfit in a different area or backdrop, -Change into outfit # 3 and pics in that outfit in a different area or backdrop -Ashley also had me put on a button down over outfit #1 and a fuzzy jacket over outfit # 3 which created 2 extra looks 6:45-7:00 p.m.: Pack-up to leave the studio and drive to the nearby beach 7:00 p.m.-7:15 p.m.: Pics in beach outfit # 1 7:15 p.m.-7:30 p.m.: Pics in beach outfit # 2 I did my shoot on Saturday, April 30, and I received my pictures via a password protected online gallery on Wednesday, May 11 (8 business days later). Then, you select 25 photos for the album using the favorites feature on the online gallery. Once you select those, Lindsey will edit your photos as little or as much as you want and send you a proof of the album. I haven't finalized my album yet, but I'm sure it will be great! My only critique would be that I did feel like the whole experience was a lot of money. I did find other studios that charge less. However, I proceeded with Boudoir Divas nonetheless for two reasons: First, for something like this, you really want to go with someone trusted and used by someone. Knowing my friend used them, that her photos were tasteful, that they made her feel comfortable, and that the photos were secure was important to me. Second, our engagement photos were $700.00 for 2 hours, and that did not include hair and make-up, so I guess $1,695.00 plus tax is pretty fair for a shoot twice the length that includes hair and make-up. Including some of the less scandalous photos or cropped photos that are appropriate that I absolutely loved. An added bonus to doing this is that there is so much pressure to look perfect on your wedding day, but these photos turned out so much better than I could have ever expected that they really boosted my confidence before my big day. Ashley was a great photographer too, who made me feel very comfortable, helped me style my outfits and made suggestions, listened to what I wanted, did a phenomenal job on my hair and make-up, posed me well (and actually showed me the poses first herself rather than just describing them), and is just a super sweet and kind human being! If you are thinking about doing boudoir photos, definitely use Boudoir Divas.

If you're indecisive and looking for that sign to get over yourself and book your photo shoot with…read moreThe Boudoir Divas, this is it. "Do it!!!" Fast forward to nearly 6 years since I've been a client, there is a saying that goes, "The more things change, the more it remains the same." The last time I stepped foot into their location, it was a towering space of wonder located in Sorrento Valley and now it is in a cozy, intimate studio near the ocean in Solana Beach. I had my photo shoot this past March, just a week shy of my birthday. I too, have transitioned in the past 6 years. The last time I was here, it was to celebrate my weight loss journey. It was definitely a milestone worth commemorating at the time, with an additional 30lb loss since those original photos were taken. At this phase in my life, I decided to do this for me. Not for my husband or for anyone else for that matter. In the past 12 months, I have endured and was blessed with a rollercoaster of life events that would test the mental and physical strength of any fierce woman. I chose "self-care" to celebrate my birthday this year and the care and attention of these fabulous women is what they gave me that day. What hasn't changed is the core of what makes The Boudoir Divas well sought after. The core being Marissa, Ashley, and Lindsey...and the addition of Julia on the day I was there. I felt like I was greeted by friends and was comfortable throughout the entire process. I brought in quite a selection of outfits even though they had many options to choose from as well. I was given feedback at what would look best for my shoot. Like before, I just let go of whatever anxiety I may have had and let them take care of me. Let them take the lead for you ladies. Ashley did a phenomenal job on my hair and makeup. Marissa was my photographer, and she worked her magic on me like before. Julia was an added addition to the team that added more positive vibes into my day. Lindsey is behind the scenes working on my selected photos. The whole process from start to finish was 3.5-4hrs. I had 3-4 wardrobe changes. I even opted to have a book this time around. I'm not going to reiterate what I had mentioned in my previous review since it very much still applies as far as the overall experience, post shoot photo review of your photos, and the process leading up to receiving your photos. The only change this time around is that I'm by the beach and there is a cute little cafe just a few steps from the studio as an option to go while waiting for the photos to upload. There is a reason why I'm a repeat client. These women love their job, and it shows. Its money well spent. You will get what you pay for. I feel like my second go this time around was even better. I looked amazing. I felt amazing. The quality of my photos is tastefully done. I'm surrounded by professional, caring women who have the wealth of experience that you will not find in any other photo studio that you may think of booking. I already have a few of my girlfriends booked and ready to go in the next couple of weeks and I'm excited for their experience. Like I said, if you're on the fence and need a sign about which team of professionals you want handling your photo shoot, this is it. It's these team of women. I wouldn't choose anyone else. Highly recommend!

See, I've always been very self-conscious. And the thought of being mostly naked in front of a complete stranger was a big NO in my mind... but after talking with Rocky and learning how supportive and welcoming she was, I was open to giving it a go. I booked the midi session, because it was the shortest amount of time I would be "exposed." Lol Rocky made me feel like an absolute goddess on the day of our shoot. She positioned my body in ways that flattered my curves, that empowered me as a woman, and that showcased my best attributes! I have never felt so comfortable around someone I had just met. She pumped me up, she helped me feel sexy and confident, and she showed me that I can love my body no matter what it looks like. This is the part that was life-changing. When I got my photo previews, I was floored. I literally said "THAT'S WHAT I LOOK LIKE?!" I couldn't believe how sexy and beautiful I looked. I was truly blown away! She captured a side of me that I didn't even know I had. It has awakened a part of me that I didn't know was there. Both me and my husband are truly grateful for that! I received my final prints quickly and they turned out beautifully. I have literally been telling all the ladies in my life that they need to book a shoot with Rocky because they deserve it! Every woman deserves to feel like a goddess, a work of art, a saucy minx! I can't wait to book another session... I may invite the hubs along too... Thank you Rocky for who you are and what you do! Literally changed my life!

Jeni helped me come out of my shell and kept me smiling and laughing the entire time. And my pictures are proof! To sing more praises, her expert posing looks INCREDIBLE in the photos!! I don't know how she does it, but these poses took strength to hold, yet my photos look so natural and relaxed. And the curves she's able to capture and have the lighting hit just right is amazing. Chef's kiss! Jeni is such a joy to work with and I loved how she involved me in her process. She asked me if I'm ok with certain poses, always checked in to make sure I was comfortable, and helped me incorporate some creative props I brought with me (a lightsaber and a violin). Her cues while I was in a pose were enormously helpful as well. She gets all the credit for my popping booty, perky girls, and pointed toes. I feel so beautiful and sexy in my photos and I am so excited for my husband's reaction to them!!
