If there were one word I could use to describe my photo session at Lolo's Boudoir, it would be:…read morebaptismal. That may be far too dramatic a term but it really sums up my inspiring photo experience with photographer Lone Mrch Schneider. My 34th birthday was approaching and I wanted to replace the standard feelings of gloom about growing older with a more positive experience. Indulging myself with a sexy and revealing boudoir photo session was the best birthday gift I could give to myself. In a serendipitous way I happened upon Lolo's Boudoir website (www.lolosboudoir.com) and instantly knew she was the one. Her photographic style instinctively appealed to me: ethereal but natural, timeless, spontaneous, sensual and revealing yet at times coquettish. I can't claim to be an expert on the art of photography but I have strong opinions on what I like and don't like. So many other photo boudoir websites had revealed to be tacky, campy and very artificial. Lolo's Boudoir has heartfelt style. Before our session I felt a little self conscious and I had warned Lone that I might prove to be one of her more 'curvier' clients and that given the wrong angle I might not be one of her most photogenic! She reassured me through examples from her portfolio she would discover the best I had to give. Lone possesses artistic mindfulness. She kindly encouraged the real me to the surface and helped me uncover the beauty I thought I never possessed. The entire experience was an awakening and rebirth of my sensual spirit. Lone has the magical ability to transform any environment. We had an outdoors photo shoot where she transformed the forest into a starlet's dressing room. Lone's gentle, fun and professional personality allowed me to shed all inhibitions. I spent a cold winter morning frolicking about the forest, playing the role of nymph, drama queen and even bathing beauty as I shed all and luxuriated in the freezing cold stream water. At that moment I felt I had experienced a 'creative baptism' of sorts. Regardless of just whom you have in mind while you're smiling (or smirking, flirting, luring) for while posing for the camera lens; you should always be posing for yourself. Just you. A photographic experience at Lolo's Boudoir is all about you. It's a special time for you to be sensual, carefree, indulgent, sexy and alluring. With a complimentary glass of champagne and a few nibbles of fine chocolate...how could you not be?

I wasn't actually at brunch, I was with Audrey taking boudoir shots." I knew the word "boudoir" but I guess I never had really thought that hard about what it actually meant until I received my anniversary present - a very sexy calendar. Unfortunately it's too sexy for YELP but all I can say is that we were so happy that that girlfriend is now my fiancee and we even hired Audrey to take the engagement photos. The shots are creative, highlight us well and were finished very tastefully and professionally. Definitely recommend!

A boudoir photo shoot had been on my bucket list for a long time. I was engaged and thought it…read morewould be the perfect wedding gift, but can't say it wasn't a gift to myself as well. I researched different photographers and Andrea caught my eye for 2 reasons: her beautiful, timeless and elegant photos and her dialogue around doing a boudoir photo shoot. She starts with introspective questions about what you want to portray in your photos. She nurtures a healthy body image along the way and makes you feel your best from the inside out. That is truly her magic. The day itself was so special where I got to step out of my normal routine and into the routine of a super model. Andrea and her team had every detail worked out, so I could just relax and go with it. I visited Andrea again to review the photos to choose my favorites. There were too many and I ended up making the book bigger to solve that "problem." The end product is two books (boudoir + fine art) full of beautiful, professional photos. I gifted the book the morning of our wedding day and my now husband was absolutely floored. They now live on his nightstand and we both look at the often. Thank you, Andrea! When can we do it again?!?!

I actually found Jennifer after searching online for photographers in San Francisco and her work immediately stood out. Her style felt fresh and unconventional -- more documentary and journalistic than traditional -- and I especially loved her use of black and white photography, which was a big reason we chose her. The day started at our hotel, where she jumped between our separate rooms to capture my wife and me getting ready. Before she had even gotten to our rooms, she had already scouted the perfect location for our first look. The moment was absolutely incredible, and she handled everything; we didn't have to do a thing but follow her lead. That professional confidence continued at City Hall. She has a masterful familiarity with the building. She took full control of the shoot, guiding us as she told us exactly where to stand, how to pose, and where to move next so we could just relax and enjoy the moment. As a photographer myself, I really appreciated her confidence and professionalism. All we had to do was follow instructions and be present. She knows San Francisco City Hall inside and out -- the lighting, the angles, the timing, and the key locations that truly matter -- every shot felt deliberate and it showed. The technical skill here is top-notch-- the compositions were beautiful, the balance of each frame was spot-on, and her gorgeous color grading. We received around 300 images, and the quality is so consistent that I plan to print every last one of them in large format to ensure we have a permanent physical archive. When we received the final package, we were so touched -- she sent our photos on a beautiful USB drive along with printed images, some sweets, and other thoughtful details. It was the perfect finishing touch to a genuinely wonderful experience. If you're getting married at City Hall -- or anywhere in San Francisco -- Jennifer Michelson / A Girl and a Camera is exceptional. Thank you Jennifer! Laura and Junior.

Based on all…read morethese good reviews I knew I'd feel comfortable during the shoot, but I wasn't expecting how safe I felt - to be dramatic, clown around, move around. I was worried about feeling awkward in front of the camera, but Sophie told me how to stand, where to look and some facial expressions to go for (i.e. mischievous, adoring) while still leaving room for me to experiment with what made me feel comfortable. One of the bonuses of Shameless being so pro-actively body-positive is that since they work with all kinds of bodies they're going to know what poses and angles work well for yours. I got to choose from about 10-12 pre-selected outfits for each "look" (and yes, she will have your size and not just in boring styles). After that was hair and makeup, with touch-ups and suggestions for accessories and props all the way through. It felt so nice to be fussed over, which is not something I'm used to AT ALL. The whole team (photographer/hair, make-up, 2 photographer's assistants - all female) made me feel beautiful from the minute I walked in the door, and they all seemed so honestly invested in the shoot, not just because it was their job but because they wanted me to look good, feel good, have a good time and get great photos. Not only that, but I woke up the next day still thinking about all the great conversations we'd all had throughout the day. Even the proofs had me appreciating myself and my body in a way that I didn't think was possible! Have you ever looked at a photo and said to yourself "Wow, my thigh is enormous, and it's sexy as hell!". Yeah, that kind of appreciation. I've never been this vain in my life, and it's really fun! The final touch-ups were subtle, but added a smoothness to the images, and Sophie leaves time for any changes you want her to make on them. The prints were beautiful and wonderful quality. I'm already saving up to go back. (pro-tip, plan to go out the night of your shoot, you're not going to want to waste feeling so amazingly gorgeous!)
