Judith is absolutely amazing to work with - she is friendly, professional, and makes you feel at-ease while still getting those to-die-for images. We recently moved back to the area, and I cannot express how excited I am to be able to work with Judith again.

Best personality to get the best picture of you! Definitely recommend for your next event!read more

We hired Vanessa as the photographer for our wedding in October 2022. As of May 2024, all we have…read morereceived is a handful of proofs that we received immediately after the wedding. It has been 20 months and despite multiple attempts to contact Vanessa and provide opportunities to resolve her failure to deliver on our contract (such as the clause regarding selling the services to another contractor in the event she can't deliver), she has not responded to any messages. However, during that same time, she posted numerous times on instagram to all of her clients/followers and has recently been showing posts about new client photo shoots all over the world. Yet here we are, no photos, money gone, and no communication. She is essentially another one of these social media business types, who is all show and does not treat her paying clients, who trusted her with one of life's most precious memories, with the respect or dignity of communication and resolution. Instead she just pretends like we don't exist and moves on. If you care about actually getting your photos and the memories of these special occasions in your life, don't hire her!

I am honestly so sad that I have to write this but I want to share my story with everyone so that…read morehopefully people will learn from my mistake. I was recommended VHP by my wedding planner who had said she'd worked with her multiple times in the past and was great! With the package we got - it even gave us an extra photographer for part of our day. I was ecstatic and after that had an initial call and both my partner and I loved her and hired her within the same week as our call. With our package, we received a free engagement session in LV and she made it to that, however..we did have to bug her to receive the final deliverables (she was a few weeks late past the due date) since we wanted to use it for our wedding guestbook. Red flag #1. On to the wedding day - She was great and helped the day run smoothly trying to capture everything..however, the extra photographer that was promised didn't show (they didn't tell me until after because they figured it was best so fair enough) but now I'm even questioning that even if it was promised that this person even existed in the first place. But, that is my personal opinion. We received 30 sneaks 4 days after the wedding, and then we're supposed to receive the online gallery with final deliverables within 8 weeks. Our wedding was mid August 2022. Since after the expected due date, I have been consistently following up (politely but consistently) via text, email, responding to socials, and now writing a review in hopes of an update or response. It seems that I'm not alone in this situation. She's currently gone on a hiatus due to personal reasons which I respect and I hope she does heal fully and my heart goes out to her - BUT at the end of the day. This is a business, you're expected to communicate and deliver. If you don't have enough time, hire help. If you will miss the due dates due to sickness, personal issues, etc...COMMUNICATE. Clients are understanding (most are), but you need to let us know what's going on with our photos and status updates. You are holding on to our precious memories!!! Our once in a lifetime day. We have given you money in exchange for a service to which has not been competed. So we all need answers. Just COMMUNICATE please. Write us back and let us know that you received our messages. SOMETHING. To this day, now in 2023, I still only have 30 images only and nothing else. It pains me everyday. To end, I want to say that Vanessa is a fun, sweet person with a great personality who also happens to be a very talented photographer. However, listening to other people's horror stories, as well as my own - I cannot and will not ever recommend her to any future clients so please to anyone reading this, if you are planning to use Vanessa for your wedding photos - just keep all of these collective reviews on the back of your mind as she will be photographing one of the most important days of your life.

I'm Jessica and I work in HR, a wife, a mom to three now adults and a crazy dog. My daily life…read moreconsists of work and home life with very little me time. In my free time I crochet, read, relax with music therapy, collect things that I shouldn't collect and spending time just chilling. Honestly I don't feel beautiful or sexy on a daily basis. I hear it from others but I don't nessecarily believe it. However when I DO feel beautiful, it's in weird spur of the moment times. If there are occasions to get dressed up, then of course I feel empowered and feel sexy. I wanted to do something for me! I always do for others and putting them before myself for as long as I could remember. I needed my own self validation that I am this woman and that I am my own future. On a whim, I entered in the contest and won. Best thing I could of done! It was time for me and no one else! I was a nervous wreck at first. I didn't know how hair and makeup was gonna look... I'm a tomboy lol.... If the outfits I had were gonna work......But hair and makeup came out FABULOUS!!!!! After that it was time for photos. I can make things awkward on purpose and I didn't want the photos to come off as that. Once the first few photos were taken, the nervousness went away and felt empowered. The whole process of the day was easy and simple. I never wanted to cancel as I just wanted to do it and see th final outcome and I'm glad I did. The entire process for me was easy, simple, not rushed or felt like I was obligated to do it or purchase anything. From the first few calls of the consults, I asked all the questions I had and was given all the answers and then some. About time the session came, I was ready to go! Nervous but excited. As I said previously, hair and makeup was fabulous! I didn't recognize myself! I was in awe! The support system was incredible as they made sure I was comfortable with each step till the reveal of the shoot. And I still recognize myself in them lol. The whole day was my favorite! Since I've never pampered myself or didn't anything like this, everything that was done,takes the cake! Taking all of the photos and seeing myself on screen through a lens- I didn't even realize it was me at first but once I did I was in a good shock. 7. Did you feel nervous before the session and what helped you ease into the session? I did feel nervous but it went away after a while. It wasnt because I was in a room with someone else in lingerie. I think it was because I got into my own head and over thinking most of it. The photographer was amazing at everything and made me feel myself while validating everything that was going on. We were vibing together which made it more enjoyable. I felt full blown empowered. I felt like I'm the force of nature that has been hiding for so long. Something unleashed inside of me that has been hidden for so long. The confidence exploded and is out in full force. For me, it was finding the inner me that was put away for so long and now she's out!!! I would definitely do it again! I think all if not most women needs to at least do something like this once in life. There is something about having a team behind you, that gives 100% of making you feel good, confident, empowered, fierce,beautiful, sexy - because you are all of those things!! The team at Boiling Point Boudoir is exquisite! Very professional, makes you feel like you matter and puts you at ease. From start to finish, they were there either by call, text, email, etc. if you're on the fence, that's fine... but put yourself first this one time- you won't regrets it!!!

My photos all had basically the same items in the background. I mean, every photo you could see the…read moresame items. Nothing different. My husband wanted the photos, so $3,500 of repeat. Then, when I was going through my photos with the photographer, she complained about the owner of the studio. Which, from the email and such, I already guessed she was stuck on herself. I don't plan on going back to this location. They run a fake "contest" to get your information and to come in. Cheers

My family and I had a photo shoot with Andrew on the day before Thanksgiving and we had a wonderful…read moreexperience. From planning to proofs, we were taken care of the entire time. We could not be happier with the experience and recommend him highly to anyone looking to have a premier portrait experience. Early in the process we ran into scheduling issues with our oldest who lives out of town. We had to reschedule because of a summer storm. Because of the change is seasons, Andrew used a new location and it was great. On the day of the shoot, Andrew was a consummate professional. In late autumn, daylight can be fleeting, so Andrew was working efficiently but not in haste. He had scouted the area before we arrived and had several spots picked out. It was truly an economy of effort. That said, he changed several aspects of the shoot to account for our wishes. When we meet with him to select from the proofs and to select the photo sizes, Andrew's years of experience proved invaluable. Andrew was patient with the questions and, brought artist's eyes and experience to the process. Selecting which pictures you want from his excellent work is a tough task, but Andrew also helped us resolve print sizing to make the most of our purchases. I recommend Andrew as highly as I can. It is obvious that Andrew found his calling and locally in Hampton Roads we are the beneficiaries. He will help you capture the spirit of your family at a moment in time that will only help anchor your fondest memories.

Andrew is a portrait photographer. You have a consultation and talk about clothing and location…read moreoptions. Then, after he takes the photos, he meets back up with you to show you the proofs and the package options. Everything is very straightforward, and there were no surprises; I'm sure if you asked for a price list before hand, you would get one. The portraits are meticulously edited yet still look natural. I'm extremely happy with our photos. During our portrait session, he took his time and made sure that we got the photos we wanted. I didn't feel rushed at all. I'm confused with a negative reviews because that wasn't our experience at all.

Erica was awesome. My wife and I went back to Virginia Beach to celebrate our 24th anniversary…read more Erica took some amazing photos of us near the light house on fort story where we were married. She captured our anniversary completely. Her style was just what we needed. She got all the photos back to us within 2 weeks, great torn around. Thank you Erica!

I was looking for a maternity photographer in Virginia - and I found Rare Rose Imagery on yelp!…read more I went on Erica's website & inquired. She emailed right away and we were able to talk through email, texting and a quick phone call. What I loved about Erica was her fast communication through email/texting. At the time that I found Erica I was in California and I had my (now fiancé) speak to Erica a few times because of our time difference. Erica and Tony kept in touch with planning our session which made it super easy for me to just focus on outfits. Lol! I let her know I was looking for maternity & outdoor photoshoot. She exceeded my expectations. We confirmed date and time then she let me know the location few days closer to our photoshoot date. Erica certainly knows how to pose (Tony & I) since were not photogenic lol. We received our photos in a drop box pretty fast! She emailed me the link. Our pictures were edited as well. Edited to perfection. Overall - Erica is such an amazing photographer! Super friendly, super fun & social! My maternity shoot turned into an engagement shoot towards the end of our session. Erica has captured memories forever. I will continue to use Erica far as I am in Virginia but my fiancé and I highly recommend her!
