A Truly Unforgettable Boudoir Experience with Gabby at Bareheart!…read more I cannot even begin to describe how absolutely amazing my boudoir photoshoot with Gabby at Bareheart was! From the moment I arrived, the energy was vibrant, and I knew this was going to be something special. Gabby not only created a professional and welcoming environment but also made the entire experience feel like one big, empowering celebration. I shared this experience with two of my best friends, who are also pole dancers, and from the start, we all felt completely at ease and totally in sync with Gabby's creativity. The session included professional hair and makeup, and I honestly felt like a goddess when I saw myself in the mirror. Gabby's skill at making everyone feel like the best version of themselves was remarkable. It was clear that she truly cared about making sure we were comfortable and confident, no matter how many outfit changes or fun, playful moments we had. The best part? There's an incredible wardrobe full of clothes and costumes to choose from, so you don't have to worry about bringing your own outfits or feeling like you need to know exactly what to wear. Whether you want to feel sultry, elegant, or playful, there's something for everyone! And the best part is--you don't have to know how to pose. Gabby is a master at guiding you through every moment. With her direction, every shot felt natural, and she made sure we looked incredible without any awkwardness. The whole session was about having fun and feeling confident, and Gabby was with us every step of the way, giving amazing prompts that made us feel totally at ease. One of the most incredible parts of the day was the pole session. As a pole dancer, I absolutely loved that Gabby encouraged us to incorporate that aspect of ourselves into the shoot. She captured our strength, grace, and athleticism in such a tasteful and beautiful way. My friends and I had such a blast sharing the shoot together; it felt like a true bonding experience, full of laughter and confidence. Gabby was always there with amazing suggestions, witty guidance, and gentle direction that helped us feel both powerful and playful. The final images were beyond anything I could have imagined. They were elegant, sensual, and empowering, yet full of the fun and joy we shared that day. Gabby's talent for capturing the essence of the moment is second to none--each photo felt like a piece of art. If you're looking for a boudoir experience that's not just about great photos, but about celebrating who you are in a fun, empowering way, Gabby at Bareheart is the person to go to. The entire day was unforgettable, and I will cherish these images forever!

A friend of mine had her boudoir shots done about 4 years ago. She tried to convince me to do it…read moreto, but I thought that wasn't for me I'm too old for that. It wasn't very long afterwards that I experienced a bad breakup, after nearly 16 years, one day he just walked out. I was left devastated with my self-esteem and my confidence in shatters. As if that hadn't been  tough enough, it was less than 3 months later that we all went unlocked down in March of 2020 due to Covid 19. So there I sat alone in my house, working from home with no social contact to speak of, no romantic possibilities on the horizon, and no self-worth, self-esteem or self-confidence yosoeak of. Thats when my friend started bugging me again about getting a Boudoir shot done. It took her maybe close to a year but she finally got me to email Sarah Williams @ Mirrors Edge.  This was in summer of 2021. I had just dropped a few pounds after gaining my covid 15, so I was just starting to feel a little better about myself. Sarah and I picked a date and it's a date grew closer and closer I grew more and more anxious, more and more unsure of myself. Then finally came the day of my photo shoot with Sarah and holy cow! First hour and a half was spent with Renee getting my hair and makeup done. She turned me into a movie star. Seriously she made me look amazing. Then Sarah spent a good amount of time helping me weed through all of the stuff that I had brought. (Seriously, it looked like I was moving in!) We picked 3 outfits  to work with that day. Let me tell you, walking out of that dressing room in my underwear, knowing that I was going to get my picture taken, in my underwear, just brought a new wave of nerves back to me.  But Sarah is unflappable, within minutes she had me laughing and following directions and enjoying myself and the next thing I knew the day had flown by we had gone through three outfits. I can't even begin to count how many photos and I had had a great time. I had laughed more than I had in almost 2 years. But wait, within the hour I got to sit in Sarah's little office and look at her computer screen with her at my pictures untouched, totally raw and was completely mind blown! Not only did Renee make me look like a movie star in the morning but that afternoon I saw frame after frame after frame of myself looking truly like a movie star. And I grew up in Southern California my dad was in the film industry I know what movie stars look like and the girl on that screen will look a lot like them. Oh and did I just refer to myself as a girl at the time I was 63! I loved my picture so much I spent twice as much as I got a collection twice as big as I had thought I would and I'm happy to say that I have one of my pictures hanging in my living room and anyone who comes to my house gets to see it. I'm so proud of how beautiful I look to that day and every time I see it, it reminds me that that's me! That beautiful woman in that picture is really me! Or maybe I should say is the real me. But that's just the first chapter of my story. Last weekend just 3 days ago Sarah and I executed something that we'd been talking about for around 7 months. I had always wanted to do a particular type of photo shoot. I'd always wanted to have my picture taken embracing my own particular form of spirituality in my photos. With Sarah's encouragement and direction, I found inspiration I shared with her and over the course of a few weeks we made a plan. Just 3 days ago, my second shoot with Sarah was my witchy boudoir dream come true. This time I was far more excited than nervous & this time Renee made me look like Betty Page meets Elvira and I couldn't have been happier. Again I purchased More than I planned because the pictures were so damn good! I had to have as many of them as possibly. I don't know your story but I know you have one. And I feel like most of us you could use a little uplifting. That is precisely what Sarah Williams at Mirror's Edge photography does. She is a champion of women of all ages, shapes, sizes,creed's, colors, spiritualities and economic resources. She embraces and lifts you up. With the help of Renee every woman who walks into her studio walks out feeling like a Queen. And it doesn't end that day! When you get your pictures take them home, hang your pictures in your home, put them in places where you can see them and every time you do, you're reminded of The magic that was made that day . The magic that is you!

After considering several, we chose SefraKay Photography because of the wonderful work she's done taking family portraits. Her response time was great, and she was very flexible to work with, especially in regards to location. Before I even paid her any money, she was kind enough to suggest several places in the area. Despite not having met her before, we felt very comfortable with her as soon as we met. She has an online system in place for scheduling and paying that is seamless and hassle-free. It even reminds you of your upcoming appointment. The pictures were taken during the Golden Hour, and came out great! We are very satisfied with these pictures and will definitely be working with her next time we go down to Pismo. Her services are very affordable and her product is very high quality. No awkwardness or stiffness (and my wife and I are not really posers by nature). We felt just like ourselves while capturing precious moments of our young family. Let me put it this way: If you are looking for some family portraits, look no further than Sefra.
