    so cute! This was one of our favorites
    Aggie C.

    You ever have that real special moment where you wish you had beautiful pictures to remember it? Well I did! My fiance proposed to me on our 3 day layover in Long Beach a couple months ago. I was just a little disturbed that the only proof we had was a selfie. Fortunately for us, we made a last minute trip back to take pictures. We didn't know who would be a good photographer. So I did what any level minded person did; I yelped it. Nikki had amazing pictures and great reviews. What really got me sold was she used Dropbox to show the pictures. This worked out perfectly, since we live in Hawaii and were only going to be there for the weekend. I emailed Nikki and asked if she could fit us in and she responded with a definite yes. She was able to take us in short notice! When we met Nikki, she was very positive and was able to work with our quirky personality. If you see the pictures it looks like we are a couple in love...not a bunch of jokesters. If she capture that, she's good! We had a couple of setbacks at the photo site. Apparently, it is a Pokemon gym, so there was tons of people. Nikki was able to work her magic and she made the photos beautiful! If you are wondering about turnaround time, she is very quick. You pick the pictures you want retouched, and she gets back to you in 2 weeks. We honestly had a hard time choosing which pictures to retouch. They were all great! Did I mention she made us look lovey dovey instead of a couple of jokesters?! (yup i did). Overall, Nikki is easy to work with and has great ideas for poses. I love that she takes payment through credit card and PayPal. I rarely carry cash. The photos turned out fantabulous! Thank you so much Nikki for giving us the opportunity to recreate our special day. My only regret is I can't hire her for our wedding because...we live in Hawaii T___T.

    I love her artistry in snapping photos. I'm super awkward in front of the camera but you'd never know with her beautiful shots.

    Nikki was wonderful in snapping photos of my family especially with young children who never want to stay still. I love her artistry and her photos with her attention to detail! I can be super awkward in front of the camera but you would never know with her beautiful snaps.

    Nikki Bacon, you are simply extraordinary! I don't even know how to come up with the words to describe your photography skills. Exceptional, amazing, professional, stunning, remarkable, beautiful, unique, spot on, invaluable, and unforgettable! You captured our wedding day so perfectly! We met Nikki by chance, she was selling some of her wedding items. Since we had such similar decor visions for our weddings, I started picking her brain on vendors for our upcoming wedding. Little did I know, she was a photographer! When we met up to buy her wedding items, she brought her portfolio and we were blown away. Her work was stunning! We knew from that meeting, Nikki would be our photographer! Nikki worked with us every step of the way, going above and beyond being a photographer. Nikki worked with me on a meticulous timeline of photos and the day. She had everything written down to the minute, which made it so easy for all our vendors to stick to a schedule. She was like a wedding coordinator! Nikki kept the entire day on schedule and made it stress free for us, without being intrusive. We received so many compliments on Nikki from our guests! Can we talk photos??!! WOW! Our wedding photos are AMAZING!! We are two months out from our wedding and I still can't seem to narrow them down for our gallery wall and wedding album. There are SO many that are incredible, all 563 of them. They are so perfect! Not only are the pictures beautiful keepsakes we will treasure forever, but they are clean and stunning. We got married in a room that is very difficult to shoot, but Nikki nailed it! Nikki also got to know us and it sure showed in her final work product. She captured "us" and our families so well. Prior to our wedding, we hired Nikki to do our engagement photos and college graduation photos for our daughter. Every session was effortless! She makes you feel so comfortable and relaxed. Her attention to detail is impeccable! Not only has Nikki become a friend over the last year, she will be our forever photographer for our entire family! We are simply blown away with the results! We highly recommend Nikki for any photos you truly want to enjoy forever!

    Nikki was amazing! She was so patient with our fussy little newborn and she even extended our shoot a little to make sure we got enough good shots of him. We received our pictures the same day and we were so happy with them! Our little one was fussy but you wouldn't even know it by the photos Nikki captured! I will definitely book her again in the future!

    Nikki is fantastic! We booked Nikki to take our long overdue family photos and I am so glad we did for several reasons. First, her vision of the photo session and the variety of images we had to choose from was all I had hoped for and more. I'm so excited with how the photos turned out... it was hard to narrow it down! I was also impressed with how professional Nikki is. Throughout the whole process, her communication was clear and her response time was quick. We received the images to review that same evening and had our edited photos the next day! Thanks to Nikki and her quick turnaround time, I will be able to get my Christmas cards out in time. We will definitely book with her again and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and very professional photographer!

    So glad I found Nikki for my maternity photo shoot. She was super helpful and sweet. Thankful for these maternity pictures that I'll always look back to!

    This is my third year taking family photos with Nikki. I am a happy repeat customer! Nikki is easy to work with, punctual, reasonably priced and has quick turnaround. She offers tips on how to pose, adjusts our clothing and takes cute/fun pictures. I love that Nikki offers nature setting (park or beach) and my personal favorite, urban setting. I have only taken pics with Nikki at urban locations and the pics look really hip. I highly recommend Nikki. Thank you for capturing memories for my family. :)

    Could not be happier with the result from my session with Nikki! Not only was she quick and responsive in setting up the appointment but also in sending the proofs and final photos. I was looking for some simple headshots to use for LinkedIn and the average price for that style of session was $300 or higher. Nikki provides a simple and quick session perfect for those looking to revamp their professional webpages all for under $100! She was extremely professional, made me feel safe and comfortable (during a pandemic) and her work is amazing. Definitely recommend!

    One of my great shots from my Graduate School portraits!

    Nikki has been doing my photos for quite some time now and she never ceases to amaze me. I figured it was time to update my business Headshots and she makes it so easy and fast. Her prices are completely affordable and she really makes your time worthwhile with so many photos to choose from. Nikki really knows how to flatter someone's figure and get the best shot possible every time.

    Nikki has taken family photos for us three times now and we are always very happy with how they turn out. She always gets the best out of our girls! We've now done a session at the park, at the beach, and in an urban setting - Nikki knows her way around them all. Highly recommend!

    Photo taken on CSULA campus

    I'm so happy I found Nikki! I was in desperate search for someone to shoot graduation portraits for me on my campus. I didn't want the plain, generic solid back screen like I did for my undergrad photos. I finally came across Nikki and really loved her work, I thought for sure she would be out of my price range, but her prices are great! She travelled to CSULA to do my photos and they came out so amazing. I received so many compliments on my pictures. She's replies quickly and also works quickly as well.

    I booked Nikki for my graduation photos and I really lucked out finding her. She made the session comfortable and helped me to relax in front of the camera. It had been a long time since having my photo taken professionally and I was so nervous. In addition being pregnant made me self conscious but Nikki helped me to be confident making the session very fun. I hope to book her again for other events!! Thank you Nikki!!!

    College Grad photos
    Kayley H.

    Nikki is a great photographer! She did my graduation photos for my senior year of high school and my senior year of college. Super organized and has a great vision for what she wants out of the session. The dropbox site is super helpful and extremely cool to see all the photos she took. She is an amazing editor too. I would recommend her to all my family and friends.

    My wife gave me this boudoir shoot as a birthday gift, and wow, what a gift it turned out to be…read more From my perspective as the husband on the receiving end, the photos came out incredible. Let's just say... she absolutely understood the assignment. What I really appreciated was how much class the studio brought to the entire experience. The images were sexy without being too much, elegant without losing that playful and intimate feel. They clearly knew how to highlight her beauty in a tasteful, flattering, and polished way. You can tell this studio knows exactly what they're doing. The photos definitely had plenty of heat, but just as important, my wife seemed comfortable throughout the process, and that showed in the final results. As her husband, I'll just say I probably spent longer admiring the photos than I should admit in a Yelp review. This was absolutely a home run of a birthday gift. If you're looking for a boudoir studio that can create something sexy, polished, and genuinely classy, I would absolutely recommend them. To respect my wife's privacy, I attached AI-generated recreations inspired by the actual shots.

To put this into perspective, she did my mom's boudoir shoot over 15 years ago, and then my aunt's. I guess true to what's starting to look like a family tradition (lol), I came to Beth for my own boudoir shoot to surprise my husband on our wedding day. Beth is incredibly talented, warm, and is a master at making her clients feel comfortable and confident. For those who're worried about what to do or who generally don't think they look good in pictures, don't sweat it. She'll tell you exactly how to pose, where to look, and overall hold your hand throughout the entire process. I didn't worry about a thing during my shoot. When she showed me the sneak peeks afterward, I couldn't believe the results! And this was before editing. The final product--a high-quality, heavy-duty book--took my breath away. Beth is worth every penny and is truly a gift to women. She cares deeply about her clients and her work, and it shows.

    I came to Carolina during one of the hardest times in my life. I was carrying the weight of…read morebetrayal, abandonment, and feeling completely replaced... like I wasn't enough, like I was small, invisible, and unwanted. For a long time, I had thought about doing a boudoir shoot, but I always found reasons not to. Fear, doubt, insecurity. But something about Carolina's work stopped me. The women in her photos weren't just beautiful, they were alive. You could see their souls shining through. Every image had this undeniable sparkle, this quiet confidence, this truth. It wasn't about perfection it was about real beauty. And somehow, I felt drawn to that. So I booked the shoot... still unsure, still questioning myself, still not fully knowing who I was anymore. From the moment I arrived, everything changed. Carolina and her entire team welcomed me with so much warmth, kindness, and genuine care. They didn't just make me feel comfortable they made me feel seen. It felt like being surrounded by old friends, by family. There was no judgment, no pressure just support, laughter, and encouragement. I opened up a little about what I had been going through, and they held that space with so much compassion. And then... just like that, the session was over. But the real magic happened when I saw my photos. They weren't heavily edited or altered, it was just me, in the right light, through the right lens. And I couldn't believe it. I actually asked, "Is that really me? Am I really that beautiful?" Because for the first time in a long time I saw myself differently. That moment changed something deep inside of me. Those photos became more than images. They became a reminder. On the days when sadness creeps in, when doubt tries to take over, I look at them and I remember who I am. I feel invincible. I feel powerful. I feel beautiful, sexy, strong, and alive. Carolina didn't just take pictures of me, she showed me myself. And that is something I will carry with me forever. Thank you, Carolina, for giving me back a piece of me I thought I had lost. You didn't just make a difference, you changed my life.

I would highly recommend as she will immediately make you feel at ease along with her assistant! She is a master of finding the perfect angles and lighting to polish the diamond that you are! I can't wait to do it again with her in the future! She is worth every penny of it!

I have always been drawn to her work as an artist, and have been following her on social media for quite sometime. I knew if I ever felt the call to do a boudoir photo shoot, she would be my first choice. From the first phone consultation to the zoom reveal of my absolutely stunning photos, I felt supported and seen throughout the whole process. From getting to create a mood board of the aesthetic I was going for, choosing color palettes and poses, and picking out lingerie, even the preparation for the shoot was fun! Marisa was a quick e-mail/text away if I had any questions or concerns regarding anything and everything. When I arrived at her studio, I immediately felt any anxiety I had melt away. Whilst excited about the art we were going to create, I'm an introvert and was nervous I was going to be awkward and shy. But as soon as you see Marisa's gorgeous, and carefully curated, creative space, you feel right at home. We got to look over my mood board one more time and explored the studio to see where we wanted to set up specific looks. And the pampering! Keleigh arrived to do my hair and makeup, and she was absolutely delightful. It was pretty special having a personal glam squad to make you look and feel your best. I have never felt so beautiful, like a powerful goddess! Marisa effortlessly guided me through all the poses and I really started to get into it after warming up for a few poses. So many different scenes you can create, each corner is like you are transported to a different oasis. She also has a beautiful outdoor patio with a claw foot bathtub, surrounded by stunning foliage, for all you nature babes. I left feeling sexy, playful and empowered. I just turned 40, and wanted to celebrate how my healthy habits and choices have paid off, both emotionally and physically. I wanted to capture my love for myself. My confidence. My sovereignty. To see the softness, and the fierceness, in me. And Marisa encapsulated that, perfectly. We created some serious magic, and I get to relive that day every time I look at these photos! If you are on the fence about taking the leap, just do it! You won't regret it. xo

I had even gone shopping specifically for this and needed inspiration because I had no clue what to wear. I was super nervous the day of my shoot and once I arrived to the studio Monica was there with her makeup artist. They both greeted me and once we started to chat I began to feel comfortable. It was as if we were old friends hanging out to play dress up. My makeup and hair was awesome, I can't remember the makeup artist's name but she really listened to me and nailed the look I wanted. Monica was super helpful with picking out outfits. I took my husband's jersey to wear in one of the looks which Monica totally encouraged me to do it. I brought along my wedding shoes and pearls which were sentimental because they're pieces I'd wear on my wedding day. I can't even express how professional and comfortable my session was. At the end of the photo session I felt like this would be something I'd do again as long as Monica is the photographer. She gave great directions on posing and you definitely gain that confident bad b!tch attitude as you go. I was extremely happy with my proofs which made it very hard to choose. Thank god I had a couple of good friends look through them and narrow down the 20 pics for his book. My husband loved his wedding present and soon we will get the other pictures I didn't purchase. I look forward to working with Monica again! She loves what she does and it shows in her work!

    When I was a tween I realized I wanted to be an actress. I loved to be on stage and to perform. I…read moreread everything I could on how to make it in Hollywood. I was in Texas so my options were fairly limited since I wasn't looking to rope any cattle or sang with a twang, but I was able to find a modeling and talent agency nearby. I begged my mother to take me there and we went, me armed with my short resume, a lot of moxie and excitement. We were seen by a middle-aged, frumpy man who took one look at me and told my mother that I wasn't model material: I was too dark and should consider other options. I was devastated and I never forgot that jackhole, crusher of tween girl dreams. It took me a while to recover from that. I wish I was cognizant of the art of voodoo at that time, 'cause that mothereffer would have had all kinds of pains in his nether regions. When I won a gift certificate for a photo session with Boudoir Rouge Photography, I was at once elated and nervous. This is my second chance! My headshots don't count, which, by the way, if anyone wants any I'll be happy to autograph one for you; I need to get rid of those things! I'll be sending them out as holiday cards until I'm beating knuckleheads upside their heads with my granny cane. Anyway, I had the same kind of mild anxiety I get when I'm afraid someone who thinks I'm all mature will find out I sometimes sing along to Miley Cyrus songs. I thought, "I'm going to have someone staring at my face for hours? What about what my sister said about my chin when we were in 6th grade?" "I don't know nothin' about being sexy. I try to pout and I look like a constipated blowfish." Thankfully, I had nothing to worry about. From the moment I first spoke to Monica, the photographer and I believe, founder of BRP, on the phone, I knew I was in good hands. She has an extremely warm and soothing way about her. She assured me this shoot would be more housewife than ho, despite the fact that I'd only be covering my lady bits - if even that. After speaking with her, I was so excited to go shopping for sexified outfits for my shoot. In the weeks before my shoot I'd practice different poses, trying to find looks that worked for me. Be careful driving down the 405 licking your lips seductively in your rearview mirror; you might end up with a creepy, dentally-challenged dude in a beat-up truck as your biggest fan and stalker. The day of the shoot, Monica arrived with her photographer-to-go kit at my home. While I worked on my makeup and nerves, she worked on transforming my bedroom. When I walked into my bedroom post boudoirification I was floored. Where the hell was I? It sure wasn't *my* bedroom. This was some other chick's sexy man-eating chambre. It was an amazing transformation! *I* wanted to be all up in that room being hot. Before we began she mentioned to me that some of her clients like to drink a glass of wine before the shoot to relax. You ain't got to tell me twice! I can't drink wine anymore, so I said, screw it, I'm going for the vodka. At 10am, there I was doing shots of vodka. Hell yeah, I was feeling great then! Let's take this shit off and get it done! At first, I was a little shy. I was also a little freaked about having my blinds open on my street-facing windows, me in undies, attempting to pose seductively. I was afraid one of my neighbors would walk by, get an eyeful and start thinking he needs to come by for a visit soon. Eww and no. Monica is like the lingerie-whisperer. Within 20 minutes, I was so relaxed and calm, and it wasn't just the vodka warming it's way through my body. It was Monica, she made me feel beautiful, she made me feel like every pose I did put Cindy Crawford to shame, I was thinking I was hot shit ready to call up "Victoria Secret" and say, "Yo, you ain't met Ms. Keisha." Her direction was so simple to follow and allowed me to focus more on being comfortable in my skin. I felt like a star and I was living my tween dream. By the end of the session, I felt like a model. I was strutting around in my bra and panties and heels like "what?!" I was ready to shimmy down the street. After the shoot, I was like a kid waiting for Christmas, so anxious to see my sneak preview. I'm not gonna lie, when I saw the sneak peek of my photos I thought I was the business. I sent some of the photos to my sister and she said, "Hello Keisha Kardashian" which I *think* was a compliment. The 8 x 10 and small flip book I later ordered were beautifully packaged with care. Now I have memorialized for all of time my youth and perkiness and I can show my grandkids and say, "Look what granny used to have!" Nothing would give me more pleasure than to send a copy of these photos to that frumpy asshole at the talent agency, show him what Keisha grew up to be. I'd include a note that said, "How ya like *these* apples?"
