This is what Leslie is meant to be doing and I'm so grateful that I got to do it with her!…read more I have always wanted to do a 40th birthday boudoir photo shoot so I did an extensive google search for the right person. When I got to Lavish Boudoir I was in awe. These photos are beautiful. Sign me up! And I'm so glad I did. The whole process made me feel like a superstar. Started with a beverage, makeup done by a professional and a multiple outfit photoshoot throughout various places in the studio. The photographer, Leslie doesn't just take incredible photos, she also made the experience fun. Yes, at first it's odd to be in lingerie around someone you don't know, but because of Leslie and the professionalism of her company I was extremely comfortable and relaxed. Then the reveal of the photos was also a luxurious experience. To this day, I look at my photos and feel gorgeous and elated that I chose Lavish Boudoir.

I am beyond grateful to have been chosen for the Lavish Boudoir Body Love Project…read more I received VIP treatment from Leslie and her staff. I felt like a real supermodel. Lee did my hair and makeup creating a glamorous and flirty look. All I have to say is, watch out Tyra... you have some competition! They created a comfortable environment and helped me get in the mood with an upbeat music playlist that unleashed my inner diva. The overall experience was thrilling to say the least. I truly felt like a super model in New York shooting the cover of Vogue magazine. I was overwhelmed with joy when I saw the quality of the pictures. They were absolutely flawless and captured my inner beauty. I cried and said, "Wow, is that really me?!" I'm still in awe of the phenomenal photographic skill set Leslie possesses. She is a true artist. You might ask why I applied for the Lavish Boudoir Body Love Project. Well, my passion has always been plus size modeling and my dream is to one day be featured in a glitzy magazine or online representing a classy company like Lavish Boudoir. I was told when I met Leslie in person that I was picked sight unseen for this project. She loved my story. I spoke from my heart and here it is... I decided to change my life 4 years ago and make myself a priority. I learn how to live a sober and sassy life, one day at a time. My daughter Presli was my reason why. She deserves the world and I planned on giving it to her. I worked very hard to put all of my broken pieces back together. I learned to love myself and that I was worth it. My mission now is to empower other likeminded women and to lead by example. My favorite quote is " I love the woman I have become, because I fought to become her." I am turning 40 soon and I truly believe there is beauty in every age. I choose to love my body as it is right now and to celebrate my many accomplishments. I will never allow somebody to tell me I can't do something, not even myself. If you have a desire and it burns deep within your soul, I say go for it. Life is too short and none of us have the promise of tomorrow. I would like to thank Leslie at Lavish for the opportunity to share my story and to celebrate the next phase of my life... after all, 40 is fabulous and dreams really do come true. Forever a fan, Staci Lehman

I don't have enough amazing things to say about Lindsey. From start to finish she was super…read moreprofessional and had an unprecedented amount of patience. I came to Lindsey with my 3 month old and very cranky 2 year old (hello, toddlers are NEVER easy!) and she managed to juggle them both. My toddler was not in the mood to take pictures and he cried pretty much the entire time, but Lindsey was kind and patient with him, giving him toys to keep him happy and distracted, and still managing to wonderfully capture him on film. She has beautiful props and backdrops and she is able to fine tune her pictures to excellence. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. I will be traveling back to her (from CANADA) for my daughter's one year cake smash - yes she's worth it.

Lindsey was offering a special for 1 hour sessions in Annapolis. I asked her if she does headshots…read moreand she stated she did. I was told I would receive 15 photos within 2 weeks and I actually received 11 photos in 2 days. They were not headshots, I was poorly posed and there was no attention to detail (I was squinting, bra showing, etc). I would not recommend Lindsey as she is not professional and does not take feedback that isn't positive very well. Unfortunately i consider our session a loss for both of us.

There is no doubt in our minds that Anna is the best in the business…read more First of all, you cannot beat the price for value you get. She puts her heart and soul into the work she does for you on your engagement photo shoot and the big day. There is constant communication leading up to the big day and never are you worried that she won't get the "perfect shot". Anna's photos are above all else, she has an eye for it. One that you cannot find around here - I dare you to try. She has done our first photo shoot when my wife and I 'came out', she shot the moment that I proposed to my wife, she did our engagement shoot and of course our recent wedding. She always has a TON of photos for you to pick from, perfectly edited, and a 'sneak peak' ready within 12hours of the shoot! Final wedding photos were delivered via email 4days after the wedding!! Name a photographer who does that?! (My cousins all waited a YEAR for their final photos with another photographer). Anna and her work is priceless. You would be lucky to be able to book Anna for you wedding and you would be a fool not to try. Anna, thank you for catching all of our beautiful memories so perfectly, we cannot thank you enough and we can't wait for our next life adventure for you to catch! Love, Mrs. & Mrs. Mason

Incredibly grateful for Anna's work! We had reached out for her to be our wedding photographer…read moreafter a recommendation and she encouraged us to consider doing engagement photos as well. We hadn't really given them much though but she blew us away with the shoot. Our wedding isn't till September but the engagement photos were so ridiculously epic and beautiful that our families and friends are positively gaga for more pics and are incredibly excited for our wedding. That's because Anna and her crew aren't just top-notch photographers with all the right equipment, education, and years of experience. I think one of the keys is that Anna has an immediately contagious passion for the art and is great at encouraging you to just have fun while she captures the unplanned moments that are the ones that resonate the most. Highly recommended!

Having Father Charlie officiate our wedding was the best decision we made. He was able to help us…read morewith all the planning for the ceremony, including making sure we knew everything involved and making recommendations for readings. We got married outside on a mountaintop and had some family traditions we wanted to incorporate into the ceremony - Father Charlie was able to accommodate all of our requests. Since we got married on a Sunday, he graciously performed mass for our attendees in the morning before the ceremony. We enjoyed getting to know Father Charlie and his wife and have kept in touch since - he even performed the baptism for our daughter a few years after our wedding. If you want a kind, thoughtful, gracious person to help you before, during, and after your wedding, then I definitely recommend Father Charlie. Thank you so much!

Janna is great with glamor photos. For headshots, I wouldn't say she's the best. This matters a lot…read morebecause her services are rather expensive compared to others in the area(this isn't NY or LA after all). She's great and easy to work; I'll give her that. However regardless of what package you select, you are not able to keep all of the photos she takes of you after the session is finished. You're only allowed to keep four digital images and that's with the executive package, which is $690. If you want to get more digital images (about eight more I think), you'll have to pay even more especially with a package that comes with some "high end Japanese box"... it costs around $900 or so. Upon receiving the digital images, you're not even given the original full resolution of the images. I find this ridiculous. There is a bit of a push by her it seems to have you acquire (expensive) prints through her services instead of a third party. Be wary of what you're getting yourself into and I would caution you to avoid. Edit: That $900 package that came with the box. I have never heard back from her in regards to it arriving months ago. At this point I don't care any more and simply don't want to do business with her (as well as warn people what you're getting yourself into).

Janna is amazing! She has a real talent for bringing out the best photos! She does great with…read morechildren and animals but I'm a huge fan of her Boudoir shoots! One Christmas she hosted a boudoir shoot event with six different ladies, Janna had music served finger foods and wine; it was like a girls night party! She also organized a photographers helping photographers forum in North Carolina, where locals of the same craft can get together and discuss their individual tips and tricks to help improve as professionals collectively, train each other in different types of situations, and build a reference for specialized photographers to best suit client needs. Janna is a very knowledgable and talented personality and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone.

The property is one level and the Rooms feel like cozy Cottages. We got a deluxe suite with a Jacuzzi, it is in an enclosed patio for privacy. That was a plus, the Jacuzzi also has lights that change colors and it was very relaxing after coming from a night of dancing at the Wedding. The rooms are spacious with vaulted ceilings and all the amenities you will need, they have a Rocking Chair on each porch too. They have Boat Slip, Restaurant, Deli Market and other small shops located across the street. The Hotel Staff was very friendly upon checking in. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed ourselves, my Niece picked the perfect spot to have her Wedding. I highly recommend this place for a Wedding or just to get away and relax.

It had central AC, so temp wasn't an issue. Room and bath were very clean. It was a little hard to access the left side of the queen bed since it was close to the fireplace and had a metal corner sticking out from the bed frame. Luckily I didn't jam a toe on it. TV worked if you had subscriptions, but never logged in to watch anything. Breakfast here was very good and I left reviews for Cafe 401.
