Being able to tap into the feminine side of me that a wife and mother and yada yada gets hidden after years of self doubt, meant the world to me.

As a gift to (myself) and my wife I purchased a photo shoot for her. For the session I also got her…read morethe make-up and hair add on (well worth it). On the day of the shoot I dropped her off a little early at the studio 8-27-14. Keep in mind NO MALES are allowed in the studio for the session. I had no problem with that because I wanted to be surprised to see the photos when I get them. They are an all female staff to help ease any resevations you may have and remember no extra bodies are allowed in during the session. This is her time. After wards, I asked my wife how did the photo shoot go? She had nothing but praise about the whole thing. From the time she walked in to the end of the 2 hr shoot. Everyone was very professional. Jill the photographer kept things upbeat and fun for her. They really made her feel special. When I went back to pick her up she was still all dolled up from the session. She looked amazing. Her makeup artist Raquel did a great job. I can't hardly wait to get the photo book she picked out so I can see the photos we should get in 4 to 7 weeks. ( a little long but I understand they are busy) I will have to up date this review when I see them. I am expecting to see top notch photos because I have seen the examples they have posted and they all look great. Thanks

This was my first ever boudoir photo session so I went in with confidence in her abilities but some…read moredoubt as to mine. We first sat down and discussed all the different albums and packages they offer. I chose a large album, a fold-out pocket sized album, and a digital album for portable devices, all as gifts to my husband. We then went over my outfits and accessories, and decided which sets we'd use. She has about four stylishly furnished bedrooms and a few chaises and settees and I chose my two fav sets. Next we moved on to hair and makeup. I LOVED WHAT SHE DID with it all!!! She has shoes, stockings, etc for rent to finish off any look. I picked some seriously sexy black 7" pumps that I'd never buy for myself, but honestly I can't see any other shoe being as perfect as they were. The actual photo session was so much fun. She has a way of coaching and encouraging, coupled with such vision and inspiration, that I very quickly got lost in the moment and the shoot became an exhilarating, liberating, sultry, beautiful experience. The time flew by so fast. I had one wardrobe change, but already knew I'd be wanting to do this again at some point, with a few more colorful, more risqué outfits. By the time the session ended I was pretty tired and sore from posing just so, but I knew I was going to be pleased with my proofs. Well, "pleased" is not the right word. When I received my gallery of proofs via email to review and select my favorites, I simply couldn't do it. I loved every single shot!! I had my sisters, my aunt, my BFF, and my two adult daughters help me decide. They were stunned speechless by how fantastic the photos all were. I needed to narrow my choices to about 18 photos for the largest album I'd picked out; I never could get it down to less than about 36! In the end I decided to buy the entire digital catalog of photos she took that day. I'm just so proud of how they turned out! And I've already discussed doing another photo shoot with her next year. I give her highest marks and endless thanks for making it a day to remember, and giving me such perfect photos. I'll treasure them always!!

Crystal did an amazing job on my hair and Morgan Horres made me look fabulous and yet natural with the make-up. It was all perfect!

Her communication was clear, warm, and professional every step of the way -- she helped me plan outfits, answered all my questions, and even gave me tips for feeling confident in front of the camera. The studio itself is stunning -- cozy, private, and beautifully styled with natural light that made every photo glow. From the moment I arrived, Fran created a safe and empowering atmosphere. She guided me through every pose with encouragement and humor, and somehow made me feel both glamorous and completely natural at the same time. The finished photos absolutely blew me away. They were elegant, classy, and captured a side of me I didn't even know existed. I left the session feeling confident, beautiful, and proud of myself -- and that feeling stuck with me long after. If you've ever even considered doing a boudoir shoot, this is your sign to do it -- and do it with Fran.. She has a true gift for making women feel beautiful inside and out. 10/10 recommend!

I finally committed to using Lighthouse Boudoir and I would highly recommend Sontera to anyone! My biggest fear when committing to this was that I would get my pictures back and not like them. After months and months and months of researching and looking at other pictures online on various websites, I felt like my pictures would never live up to what I had seen others look like in front of the camera. Boy was I wrong!!! I was more nervous on reveal day of the proofs than I was in front of the camera, but Sontera delivered the most amazing and beautiful pictures I had ever seen of myself! My favorite part of the shoot was the fact that I was one-on-one with Sontera and there was never a moment of awkwardness. Yes, my sultry face attempts were awkward, but even through that we laughed it off and she managed to capture my expressions at just the right moments. When looking into doing a boudoir shoot, I initially thought I'd be in a studio or place of business but I loved the fact that this shoot was in Sontera's home studio. It gave a sense of comfort to the entire experience.

If I could give him zero stars, I would. I spent weeks trying to be professional and nice with him…read more I didn't want any tension so I tried to work it out and he still got over one me. Osiris isn't trustworthy & he is dishonest. I lost money from my business, and I ended up scrambling to create content for my business after he took my money, didn't give me everything that I paid for, then he blocked me . I paid him $800 a month ago, and I never received all of the photos for my shoot nor the videos. What's scary about working with him is that his portfolio appears to be stunning, and he seems like such a nice person, but really he is a con artist. I let him in my home and near my family. He even hung out with my friends and family after the shoot, and he scammed us out of our money. Long story short, I paid him $500 for an hour and a half video shoot & $300 for photos that included 9 edits. Check the text message in the photos. He said that he'd have the photos to us, and I spent weeks chasing him down. He lied several times and told me that editing was done, yet I didn't have the photos. I caught him in a lot of lies. When he finally edited one photo, it looked horrible. You will not get the quality of photos that he advertises. I believe that he takes the photos and he usually pays someone to edit them. I only receive half of my photos. I had to edit all of the ones that I did receive myself. I ended up paying extra money to do that. I wasted hundreds of dollars and 5 other people's time that was involved in the "professional video" that he shot. He charged me $500, and he didn't even have a professional video camera. He came totally unprepared for the video. When I asked him where was his video equipment, he told me that it was in the storage in VEGAS??!!! I had so many issues that I don't know where to start. Here are a few. -He told me that he could provide video services, but he didn't have any mics, lighting, or correct video equipment. - He told me that he could shoot women's butts and boobs all day, which made me uncomfortable. That was very unprofessional. - He asked me to come to my house so he can download the photos using my WiFi?? How unprofessional is that? Imagine hiring someone for a photo shoot, and after days of getting the run around they just tell you that they're on their way to your home to use your WiFi? What the heck? I told him that I wasn't ok with that. We ended up having to go back and forth to pick up a memory card which STILL didn't have all of my photos or edited videos on it. - He lied several times about editing the photos. - He lies several times about when we would receive our photos and videos. The last time he "promised me" that he would upload everything and be done with this, my photos and videos were STILL MISSING. When I texted him and asked him for a partial refund, he BLOCKED ME. At first, he offered to reshoot the video and photos, but I found that he was lying about everything, so I asked that I just get my money back instead. I have not received everything that I paid for or my money. Now, I've had to waste even more time talking with my lawyer because I've had to file on him since he didn't provide all of my content or a refund. You would not THINK that you would have this experience by looking at his profile. I found him on IG. I wish I wouldn't have ever booked with him. There are a lot of professional photographers out there. Do not book with this man unless you want to be scammed! Shame on him for doing this!

I just didn't want to waste her time if she is thinking shes doing a shoot which was not the case. So I called left a VM no answer or callback. So the next day I proceeded to go 45 minutes into downtown houston, waiting around the lofts for about 10 minutes called her multiple times and got forwarded and never answered the door to her studio. One of my Other friends who had shown me this boutique had known her personally and reached out, ONLY THEN DID SHE DECIDE to text me some message on how MY appointment got cancelled and if I wanted to reschedule. I think its completely unprofessional to cancel an appointment for a someone and not let them know and just leave them in the dust. if this is how she is even for shopping I cant imagine how unprofessional she is in her other endeavors.

My shoot with ShineOn Boudoir in downtown Houston was the first professional boudoir photoshoot…read moreI've ever booked, and I was very nervous for weeks leading up to it. I was not in a very body-positive mindset the evening before and even walking into the studio the day of, but that quickly changed as I talked with Julia and her team. My nerves calmed when Laura started on my makeup, and Kendall handed me a glass of champagne. Leading up to the photoshoot, I received several emails with information regarding their downtown warehouse loft location right across from Minute Made Park and parking. They also included how to best prepare for the shoot--from what to wear, skincare suggestions, and where to buy high-quality lingerie if I didn't already have some. The email sent the day before let me know the timeline and everything that would take place that day. Their excellent communication certainly helped me relax before the big day! Laura did a beautiful job on my makeup. I typically wear very natural and light makeup, and it was fun to see the drama she added, so my makeup would stand out for the shoot! I still looked like myself, which was important to me. While Laura did my makeup, Kendall went through the several outfits I had packed and my jewelry to pick out the shoot styles. She and Julia decided to put me in a few pieces from Julia's lingerie line, and they were absolutely stunning! It was wonderful to hand over the final decision making to their team of professionals and relax. Once my hair and makeup were done, I got to see the outfits that had been styled for me, and we started the shoot. Julia demonstrated and talked me through exactly what poses I'd be doing for each shot. She kept saying "gorgeous" or "perfect" with every shot, and it definitely boosted my confidence. By the end of the shoot, we had several stunning photos to choose from, and we sat together to whittle down the choices. This was the most challenging part of the experience, and I was stunned to see myself on the screen. Was that really me? The lighting was stunning. The curves and angles were so feminine and breathtaking. She and her team had managed to bring out the goddess in me, and I couldn't have felt more confident leaving the studio. I will be recommending ShineOn Boudoir to all of my friends. Men and women alike! They also shoot couples, which could be such a fun gift for a birthday or holiday. I'm certainly hoping my upcoming birthday involves a gift certificate so I can snag more of the photos I had to weed out from this shoot! Highly recommend!
