My friend did a shoot with Boudoir Divas before her wedding in 2017, and while I loved her photos,…read moreI wasn't sure it was for me. However, once I got engaged, my fiancé and I were with my friend and her husband, and the way he spoke about how much be loved and "used" the photos when she was recovering from giving birth convinced me to do boudoir photos for my fiancé. Naturally, I was nervous about doing them, but they informed me that in their entire time in business, they have never had a leak. More importantly, the pictures are so tasteful that if they did get out, at least there is no actual nudity at all. Before your shoot, they send you a super detailed and helpful e-mail about what to bring/order, what they have that you can wear, where to park, and anything else you can think of! Definitely read the whole e-mail even though it's lengthy because it's got lots of useful stuff in there! I did the By the Sea Shoot, which is only done on Saturdays from about 3:15/3:30-7:15/7:30 p.m. includes 1-1.5 hours of hair and make-up. My schedule went like this: 3:30 p.m.-4:45ish p.m.: Ashley did my hair and make-up while giving me some champagne to relax and loosen up 4:45-5:00 p.m.: Get into outfit # 1 5:00 p.m.-6:45 p.m. ish: -Photos in outfit # 1, -Change into outfit # 2 and pics in that outfit in a different area or backdrop, -Change into outfit # 3 and pics in that outfit in a different area or backdrop -Ashley also had me put on a button down over outfit #1 and a fuzzy jacket over outfit # 3 which created 2 extra looks 6:45-7:00 p.m.: Pack-up to leave the studio and drive to the nearby beach 7:00 p.m.-7:15 p.m.: Pics in beach outfit # 1 7:15 p.m.-7:30 p.m.: Pics in beach outfit # 2 I did my shoot on Saturday, April 30, and I received my pictures via a password protected online gallery on Wednesday, May 11 (8 business days later). Then, you select 25 photos for the album using the favorites feature on the online gallery. Once you select those, Lindsey will edit your photos as little or as much as you want and send you a proof of the album. I haven't finalized my album yet, but I'm sure it will be great! My only critique would be that I did feel like the whole experience was a lot of money. I did find other studios that charge less. However, I proceeded with Boudoir Divas nonetheless for two reasons: First, for something like this, you really want to go with someone trusted and used by someone. Knowing my friend used them, that her photos were tasteful, that they made her feel comfortable, and that the photos were secure was important to me. Second, our engagement photos were $700.00 for 2 hours, and that did not include hair and make-up, so I guess $1,695.00 plus tax is pretty fair for a shoot twice the length that includes hair and make-up. Including some of the less scandalous photos or cropped photos that are appropriate that I absolutely loved. An added bonus to doing this is that there is so much pressure to look perfect on your wedding day, but these photos turned out so much better than I could have ever expected that they really boosted my confidence before my big day. Ashley was a great photographer too, who made me feel very comfortable, helped me style my outfits and made suggestions, listened to what I wanted, did a phenomenal job on my hair and make-up, posed me well (and actually showed me the poses first herself rather than just describing them), and is just a super sweet and kind human being! If you are thinking about doing boudoir photos, definitely use Boudoir Divas.

If you're indecisive and looking for that sign to get over yourself and book your photo shoot with…read moreThe Boudoir Divas, this is it. "Do it!!!" Fast forward to nearly 6 years since I've been a client, there is a saying that goes, "The more things change, the more it remains the same." The last time I stepped foot into their location, it was a towering space of wonder located in Sorrento Valley and now it is in a cozy, intimate studio near the ocean in Solana Beach. I had my photo shoot this past March, just a week shy of my birthday. I too, have transitioned in the past 6 years. The last time I was here, it was to celebrate my weight loss journey. It was definitely a milestone worth commemorating at the time, with an additional 30lb loss since those original photos were taken. At this phase in my life, I decided to do this for me. Not for my husband or for anyone else for that matter. In the past 12 months, I have endured and was blessed with a rollercoaster of life events that would test the mental and physical strength of any fierce woman. I chose "self-care" to celebrate my birthday this year and the care and attention of these fabulous women is what they gave me that day. What hasn't changed is the core of what makes The Boudoir Divas well sought after. The core being Marissa, Ashley, and Lindsey...and the addition of Julia on the day I was there. I felt like I was greeted by friends and was comfortable throughout the entire process. I brought in quite a selection of outfits even though they had many options to choose from as well. I was given feedback at what would look best for my shoot. Like before, I just let go of whatever anxiety I may have had and let them take care of me. Let them take the lead for you ladies. Ashley did a phenomenal job on my hair and makeup. Marissa was my photographer, and she worked her magic on me like before. Julia was an added addition to the team that added more positive vibes into my day. Lindsey is behind the scenes working on my selected photos. The whole process from start to finish was 3.5-4hrs. I had 3-4 wardrobe changes. I even opted to have a book this time around. I'm not going to reiterate what I had mentioned in my previous review since it very much still applies as far as the overall experience, post shoot photo review of your photos, and the process leading up to receiving your photos. The only change this time around is that I'm by the beach and there is a cute little cafe just a few steps from the studio as an option to go while waiting for the photos to upload. There is a reason why I'm a repeat client. These women love their job, and it shows. Its money well spent. You will get what you pay for. I feel like my second go this time around was even better. I looked amazing. I felt amazing. The quality of my photos is tastefully done. I'm surrounded by professional, caring women who have the wealth of experience that you will not find in any other photo studio that you may think of booking. I already have a few of my girlfriends booked and ready to go in the next couple of weeks and I'm excited for their experience. Like I said, if you're on the fence and need a sign about which team of professionals you want handling your photo shoot, this is it. It's these team of women. I wouldn't choose anyone else. Highly recommend!

My photo shoot with Melisa was such a wonderful experience. I (like most women, probably) was…read morehesitant to book a boudoir shoot because I had NEVER done anything like this before & wasn't confident that I'd be able to do it. Melisa sets you up for complete success from before you even book. She has SO MUCH content that you can read through to answer almost all of your possible questions. There are no hidden surprises or fees in her packages. I booked my session as a wedding gift for my husband & I'm so glad that I did. It was lovely to get all glammed up and then feel so sexy for a day! Melisa is VERY good at her job. She makes you feel so comfortable being naked, or nearly naked in front of a stranger & she will walk you through the shoot every step of the way. Poses you from head to toe & lordy does she know what she's doing!! I was floored with my photos when we reviewed them. And once I got my products, I understood very much that you definitely get what you pay for. The album is absolutely stunning & all of the prints that I got are perfection! I gave the album to my hubby during our first look at our wedding & he was having a hard time keeping it in his pants ;-P A shoot with Melisa is an investment, but one that will stand the test of time. If you're considering booking with her, do it! Budget for your shoot so that you are not stressing about paying for it & you will not have any regrets. I am so glad we have these images to look back on when I'm old and saggy ;-P

Its easy to see why scott and melissa are the go to in their industry. The studio is picture perfect in sunny seaside carlsbad and well worth the drive for people like me who live in OC. There are various vintage sets to create a multitude of scenes and poses for whatever you're thinking whether it be super sweet or super fetish. Scott's use of lighting and coloring is definitely a specialty and very very cool. Melissa is an expert at directing you how to pose- if you have zero experience you will come out of there feeling like you had a professional shoot of a paid model. They are both super down to earth warm people and fantastic to be around for a few hours. No need to be shy or freaked out they make it all work effortlessly. If you're looking to do something fun whether it be racy and more nude or just have some really fun vintage backdrops to some pictures no matter what your goal their studio is a must visit. Their prices are also extremely reasonable with payments if needed. I feel like I got a really good value for my money. Everyone has an inner pinup this is definitely the place to help let it shine. They will be doing my family Christmas cards as well totally kitschy vintage and awesome!!

For those that want to know why we chose them, continue reading. We first met Julie and Jonathan at a bridal show in August 2016. We had attended a few shows like this earlier in the year and hadn't really found a photographer for our June 2017 wedding that we connected with and loved their style of photography. That was until we met Julie and Jonathan. For my now husband and myself, it was so important for us to find someone we connected with and felt comfortable with taking photographs of us. Neither of us like to be in front of the camera. There is this ease about the two of them that makes you feel like you've known them forever. Julie is warm, friendly and I discovered on my wedding day, extremely comforting and calming. Jonathan's humor and sarcasm were right up our alley and made shooting so fun. Both our engagement photos and wedding photos were taken by Julie and Jonathan. We chose the Point Loma Lighthouse for our engagement photos. What we didn't think about was that we were shooting on Veteran's day weekend which made the Lighthouse a hotspot for tourists. You would NEVER know because they did an unbelievable job editing out all the surrounding people in our photos. It appears that we were the only ones there. I've posted a few. We received all of our professionally edited engagement photos within 2 weeks of shooting. The turnaround was perfect for us who were eager to see them. Julie and Jonathan absolutely captured our wedding day beautifully. I can't stop looking at our photos. Julie's attention to detail on the details of the day and Jonathan's expertise in wider angled shots gave us a variety of views. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Julie is very responsive and attentive to your needs and is overall just a wonderful human being. We are so, so very lucky to have stopped at their booth. As we expand our family, we most certainly will hire Jones Photography Company for future photos.
