Cara is absolutely AMAZING. From the very first email, she made me feel so at ease and as if I'd known her forever. I was very much outside of my comfort zone going into the shoot, but her energy, warmth, and confidence made the entire experience so comfortable and fun. Beyond her incredible personality, Cara is truly exceptional at her craft. The photos she delivered were stunning and far exceeded my expectations. Her entire team was also wonderful and made the day feel seamless and special. If you're even thinking about doing a boudoir shoot- DO IT. And if you do, you must, must, must work with Cara. You will be so happy you did. read more

If you are even 1% considering doing this for yourself, for the love of god DO IT!!!! This is genuinely one of my favorite things I've ever done for myself. I had the most incredible experience with Cara and Melissa, and I feel like the photos (which are amazing, not shy about tooting my own horn here) ended up just being the cherry on top, which is wild. Can you relate to the following? 1. You've thought about doing this before, but wanted to wait until you got fitter, hair was longer, blah blah blah - NO, STOP IT. I know you've looked back to photos of yourself and thought "damn, why was I so critical? I looked great!" LEARN YOUR LESSON! You look great now, too. Book ittttttt 2. You've gotten professional photos done before, and didn't totally love how they turned out. ME TOO. This includes professional headshots, engagement photos, wedding photos, my passport photo (ha). I would see them and think okay those are nice, a like a few, but somehow they felt like they didn't really capture how I see myself. CARA SPECIFICALLY, not just any photographer, will capture YOU how you see yourself. It's the absolute beeeeeest. Which leads to point 3: 3. Have you ever seen yourself in the mirror and are like "hell yeah, nice!" and then you see yourself in a photo the same day and you're like "what the hell....is my mind warped?!" And then you have to ask your friends/sister "yo do I look like that?" And they say no definitely not? Yeah I don't get it either. It's weird (and the cameras fault- not yours) - and it won't happen with Cara. You'll look bomb and your photos will show you looking bomb. Here's the thing, the whole photoshoot experience was so much fun, and in the top 10 times I've felt the most amazing about myself. Cara and her team care about you and will take care of you. You are so beautiful, you deserve this experience, the outcome is going to be worth the money by miles. I was worried that I wouldn't like my pictures and as soon as I opened the file to choose the ones to keep, I felt so relieved. I am so glad I found this studio and photographer. Book it book it book it. And book it here, with Cara. read more

Cara is simply INCREDIBLE! I can not say enough about her as a human and business woman. Cara made me & this experience one of the best!! From the very beginning of reaching out to her by email, to her impeccable follow ups, warm, out-going, fun, spunky personality, through the day of my photoshoot, to follow-ups meetings, and so much more!! She's made me feel like a goddess inside and out. She truly knows what she is doing, and I HIGHLY recommend using her! Hands down, the best experience!! read more

I was completely blown away by my experience with Cara and her team at the Atelier. I didn't know what to expect going into my first boudoir shoot but never could have imagined I would feel as comfortable and confident as I did. Cara is truly the BEST and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and prepared going into the experience. Talking with Cara leading up to the event honestly felt like talking to a friend! The shoot was one of the most empowering things I've ever done. I couldn't believe how much fun I had and how quickly the time flew by thanks to the Atelier team. Not to mention the pictures afterwards BLEW MY MIND. I didn't know I was capable of taking photos like this!! Cara is a professional and a magician and I'll definitely be back! read more

*life changing experience alert!* I thought maybe I'd do a boudoir shoot and then laughed and was like, yeah right! I'm curvy and camera shy and have never once taken a photo of myself in this way. I knew this would be a gift my husband would love. I found Cara's website and her FAQs alone gave me the confidence to reach out. While every photo on her site looks like it belongs in a magazine, the way she writes made me believe I could look that incredible too. On the day of, her colleague Jean did my hair and makeup and WOW, unreal. The whole time we were all laughing, sipping champagne (yes, the real stuff, she didn't hit me with the LaMarca) and the vibes were perfect. Cara could sense my nerves and knew exactly how to help me let go and step into my confidence. Then came the moment I received my photos. I sobbed. Not just because they were breathtaking, but because they showed me in a way I had never seen myself before. It was powerful, emotional, and healing. My husband will love this gift but what I realized is that this is really for me, the greatest gift I could have ever given myself. If you are reading this, just hit send to Cara. Trust me, you will walk away with so much more than beautiful photos. You will see yourself in a whole new light. Cara, Jean, and the entire team--thank you from the bottom of my heart. You changed the way I see myself, and for that, I am forever grateful. read more

This is the place and Cara is the ONE. As an awkward unphotogenic specimen I was hesitant for this shoot but Cara made everything so comfortable and effortless. And the product? UNMATCHED! She takes the care and time to make every detail perfect. You feel so free and beautiful, it's an indescribable experience. I am a repeat customer and the anthology of myself over time that Cara has given me is something I will treasure and be able to look at when I'm 80 years old. She shows you the best version of you and it's nothing short of magic. read more

Cara is worth every penny. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could look as beautiful as I do in my boudoir photos. She is an absolute master at her craft and you need to hire her immediately. I was incredibly nervous leading into my shoot. But she made me feel sexy AND comfortable throughout the whole thing. She knows the exact right angles to pose your body and shouts words of encouragement the entire time. Not to mention she was an absolute professional from initial communication to the shoot itself to the photo book delivery. I cannot say enough good things about Cara. You MUST hire her! read more

Not only is the final product better than your wildest dreams, the entire experience with Cara is a dream. The guidance she provides ahead of time with wardrobe and ideas for the overall vision, to the hair and makeup to the shoot itself all feels so seamless and easy with Cara's expertise, kindness and FUN personality. Cannot recommend this experience and working with Cara enough. read more

I can't express how happy I am with everything - since signing up for the shoot to getting the final product. It has been fun, and amazing and I felt absolutely gorgeous. I never thought I'd feel so comfortable like this - I thought I'd feel silly. I didn't. I felt so so so beautiful and like myself. read more

Cara is incredible. These photos are incredible. I can't stop looking through them. She made me look (and feel!) beautiful! I cannot thank her enough. I know these are a gift for my fiance, but really these will be a gift for myself to look back on. The hair, the makeup, the lighting, the poses - Cara is an expert photographer and editor and these photos are fantastic. I have never in my life gone through a photo album and had so many photos of myself that I actually liked. It was also a great experience. Cara coached me and encouraged me throughout. She kept spirits high and made me comfortable and sexy. It was so sweet when my fiancé asked about the process because he knew that this was probably a challenge for me to be that vulnerable and open. And it's all because of Cara that I was able to do it and am now so happy to have these photos for myself. read more

To the woman landing on this portfolio: I see you. It wasn't so long ago that I was you. I am an ordinary woman who is typically reserved, has never modeled, is coming off of 2 years of sugar + sitting on a sofa (hello #pandemicliving), AND I can tell you I would do it again in a heartbeat. I've never felt more seen, supported or safe to express my whole self. I knew it would be a cool experience, but honestly it's magical how they captured the essence and spirit of who I am. Every photo was objectively stunning and I will cherish this experience for the rest of my life. If there is an inkling of intuition that you're interested in this, make the phone call, ask the questions and book a shoot! Don't hesitate. You deserve to celebrate your journey and revel in your beauty. Cara and her team are your biggest cheerleaders in that journey, masters at their craft and genuinely wonderful humans. They care deeply about the experience from start to finish and you can see it in every interaction. When I look at my photos, I'm filled with such wonder and pride. Honestly, I feel like Cara's superpower is taking a women and showing her all the reasons to celebrate and love her body exactly as it is -- and in a world where media/society promotes unattainable beauty ideals, being able to authentically and fully love our bodies is such a rare experience. I hope you take the leap and I have full trust you will experience the same love, joy and delight I did. @Cara, @Cindy, @Jean - you three are rockstars! I am beyond grateful for you all and look forward to booking another shoot with you soon! xx Safina read more

My experience with Cara was amazing. I had never heard of boudoir photography before and found Cara through a good friend of mine. Originally this was supposed to be a gift for my bf but I didn't realize that it would also be a gift for myself. I am rather shy and was extremely nervous to do something like this. It was a BIG step for me and I just had so many thoughts running through my head (Is it going to turn out ok? How is this going to go? Am I going to feel/look weird?) but Cara has a knack for putting you at ease and making all those worries disappear. She was communicative, extremely professional and was with me every step of the way. She single handedly made this the best experience for me. We laughed, we joked, she was my biggest cheerleader and we had such a great time on set I was crying due to laughter. I am so glad I took the leap to do this and so glad it was with Cara. I don't know if I could have done this with anyone else. I just saw my finished photos and I LOVE them. I feel so empowered and overall, just feel a lot more confident about myself after going through this process. I would absolutely do this again WITH Cara. 100%. read more

Cara and her team are absolutely professionals who absolutely made the experience so amazing. The hair, the makeup, the sets, ALL OF IT, just a great feel good about yourself experience. I am already excited about next year and having the experience again. If you want to do something personalized that will make you feel like a million bucks, I highly recommend The Atelier! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Cara. Besides that she is an amazing photographer, she truly makes you feel like the best version of yourself behind the camera. Cara is an absolute pleasure to be around, super friendly, and fun. There is no better person to trust with the task of making you look and feel your absolute best in your photoshoot. Cara made every step in the process fun and effortless. I simply want to book another session with Cara just so I can hang out with her again! Thank you, Cara, for an amazing experience. read more

I cannot even begin to express how incredible my experience with The Atelier was. As many others have said, do not look anywhere else! It is TRUE! 5 stars, 100 percent satisfaction, exceptional experience! Book with Cara and do not hesitate!  Do not waste your time or money searching for or using any other photographer! A good friend of mine had first introduced me to boudoir photography. I had never heard of it before but I was intrigued and knew I wanted to get photos taken to gift to my husband.  I am a mother of 4 children and in my mid thirties. My youngest child was 18 months old when I started searching for a photographer. We had recently moved to the North Shore and there were so many options. I started reading reviews, looking at Instagram and different websites. There were many affordable and cheaper package options but the photos on those sites looked noticeably less professional, and of a lower quality. If you are going to get out of your comfort zone and go through with the effort of having hair and makeup done, you want the real deal. As soon as I saw The Atelier's photos, I was blown away.  Being a former professional ballet dancer I was instantly drawn to the aesthetics of Cara's work. The hand positioning, the curves of the body, the elegant poses and the extremely gorgeous women looking completely confident and comfortable. After looking through Cara's entire gallery of images and scrolling through every photo on her Instagram page, I was sold. I called her the next day to book my appointment.  Again, as everyone else has described, She is not only an amazing artist, but an incredible human. Taking the words from another client, Cara is a master at posing and knows exactly what will flatter each and every single body type! She is so encouraging! Her team of hair and makeup is also phenomenal. You will feel like a movie star and supermodel! I'm in love with the final product and will cherish the album forever. This entire process started out as gift for my husband but it is most definitely a gift for myself as well. I am honestly sad that this journey came to an end. Thank you Cara for creating the most stunning photos I own and for capturing such a special moment in time. read more

Cannot recommend enough! Simply a perfect experience. I felt comfortable, excited, and dare I even say "loved" throughout my entire experience working with the Atelier. The end results were just stunning and I couldn't be more pleased. The Atelier is run by a genuinely good person who's beyond talented. From your first interaction you will feel like you are talking to an old friend, which is certainly a comfort level you'd want for a boudoir shoot. Don't hesitate - book right away! You will not be let down PROMISE! read more

If you're thinking about boudoir photos and are searching around the internet and Instagram - stop. Just stop now, and pat yourself on the back because you've just found the best of the best. Pick up your phone and call Cara NOW! When I began my search, I stumbled upon The Atelier on IG. Wow, talk about gorgeous photos! These photos were literally perfection. Every woman looked incredible - empowered, beautiful, confident. I also couldn't get over how comfortable and natural every woman looked. They legit all looked like models who knew how to work a camera (and I later found out these were all CLIENTS!). Sign me UP! As soon as I spoke to Cara over the phone, I was in. Not only was she prompt and professional, but I immediately got the feeling she was the ultimate boss babe who really knew her sh*t and would make this entire experience fun and all about me. And that's exactly what it was. I had SO much fun that afternoon and seriously want to go back to do more photos because a) my photos turned out crazy amazing, and b) I just want to hang with Cara. I recently gifted the finished photo box to my husband about two weeks ago and he was floored. I was expecting it to be tucked away in his closet by now, but it's STILL out on his bedside table and the box was slightly ajar this morning....hmm. read more

I had my boudoir album done by Cara for my wedding. Before choosing Atelier, I spent probably a few hours on Instragram combing through photos. I didn't want anything cheesy and instead something high end. I kept clicking on the Atelier's photos. Cara might be one of the most responsive people I know. Not only so, but with every interaction, she makes you feel like the only person in the world. During the shoot, she truly made me feel beautiful. I've discovered a new appreciation for my body. A couple of weeks later, Cara sat down with me and helped me pick out the photos for my album. I had it narrowed down to like 100 or so, and she helped me narrow it down to ~40. I just couldn't narrow it down further - all of the images were stunning. Cara was very responsive during the editing process and gave honest feedback. Her attention to detail was outstanding. Finally, the album is a dream, and the quality is amazing. My fiance wants more photos! If you're looking to do a boudoir shoot, but you don't want the shots to be cheesy or raunchy, The Atelier is the way to go. All of my images look so editorial, and I didn't even know that I could take photos like that. read more

5 stars are not nearly enough! Cara and my entire experience at The Atelier, from the moment I sent my first inquiry email, have been off the charts! Look nowhere else, I promise! I knew I wanted to do a special boudoir photoshoot FOR MYSELF for my 30th birthday. There is something so empowering about gifting yourself with an image of yourself looking like a bombshell! We only live once, right? And time does not rewind. Every woman must do this for herself no matter the age. After searching for a photographer, I turned to Yelp and did a bit of research. The Atelier's reviews were fantastic but the images captured were stunning! Cara is special! She captures beauty and creates art with every model behind the camera. Completely convinced that The Atelier was the perfect place for me, I reached out to Cara for scheduling and she instantly was by far the nicest, sweetest, most humble person I have ever met! On the day of my shoot, I was welcomed into Cara's home and any inkling of nervousness completely melted away! Cara is a master at posing and knows exactly what will flatter each and every single body type! She is so encouraging! After my shoot concluded, I was hoping that if all else failed I would have at least 1 photo I loved... Cara made me want over 75! How is that possible? Kindly, she took an hour out of her day, weeks after the shoot, to help me choose. Cara is so incredibly talented, amazing, phenomenal and every other positive adjective! I seriously wish I could shout it from the rooftops. I will soon have a beautiful piece of art to hang on the wall in my home and I could not be more thankful to Cara and The Atelier!! read more

Cara is the ultimate boudoir photographer - not only will she make you FEEL 100% confident, comfortable, and excited (especially if it's your first time doing this like me), she produces the most stunning photos of YOU and makes you feel like an absolute movie star! Not to mention her personality is just the best - one phone call with Cara and I knew she would be so fun to shoot with! I cannot express how happy I am with my gift box - I really wanted to keep them all (every photo was gorgeous and classy)! and cannot wait to share it with my fiance after we're married!! I hard about Cara through a friend that did this for her wedding three years ago, and we now have three friends (including me) that have gone to Cara. No one has been disappointed (and none of their husbands either)! read more

Do yourself a favor and stop your search for a boudoir photographer here. I cannot imagine Cara failing you. She has vision, tact, class, humor. She shoots beautiful photos. Her prices are more than reasonable for something that you will probably only do once. Another wonderful thing about Cara is her versatility. I'm a reserved person, pretty shy in front of the camera, and she coached me through the whole thing. However, at the very end she encouraged me to let loose a little (like last 4 frames). I really had trouble. What this tells me, however, is that if you come to The Atelier with some of your own ideas, she isn't going to shoot you down. Like many women, this started as a project for my fiancé. I realized it was more for me than him when I got so anxious that I told him my plans. Try not to give away your surprise to your fiancé if you are riding an emotional roller coaster perpetuated by insecurity of paying for your perceived flaws exposed on film. Ideally, you are totally secure in yourself, or this isn't a surprise for anyone, because you are totally worth it! And guess what? You don't need to buy too much lingerie! Don't freak out about the lingerie like I did. To summarize, Cara made an intimidating experience enlightening and fun and I learned more about myself than I expected. I almost turned back after putting down a deposit and I'm so glad I didn't. The photos are hot, if I do say so myself ;-) read more

Cara is *unreal* good at her job. There's a reason she has five stars! From the moment I got in touch, Cara was incredibly communicative and warm, and made the entire process so simple. She guides you through wardrobe selection, figuring out your vibe, and the shoot itself, and it wound up being a fun day with her coaching...she is the ultimate hype girl from start to finish. She's also an artist, which is reflected in her product. The photos are beautiful, and I'm thrilled with my album. Would recommend 10/10 times -- you're in great hands! read more

Cara Garbo... Amazing!! I wanted to create a new Image for my website and business cards .I was referred to Cara Garbo by my co workers. Little did I know the experience I was in store for? From the moment she greeted me I knew I was in for something special. . We began with head shots and worked our way out of my clothing to take some fun and sassy photos for my boyfriend. I was a bit shy to start but by the end I felt so free and liberated. I left the studio on cloud nine and more confident than ever. The pictures as well as the experience are something I will treasure forever. I would recommend giving a session as a gift. You will feel beautiful inside and out!!!! Leah Chavie, ME/MLT and Makeup Artist www.leahchavie.com read more

If you're even thinking about booking a session with Cara, DO IT! Cara was so responsive, warm, helpful, and friendly. During the shoot she made me feel 1000000% comfortable and confident, and she was so helpful with posing (seriously you don't need to be traditionally photogenic...Cara and her assistant have the magic touch). The photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined - Cara is a true artist! My husband absolutely loved receiving the album as a wedding gift. I truly cannot recommend Cara enough!!! read more

Many years from now when I am a grandmother, I would love to be able to have a tangible memory of a younger, sexier version of myself. Even though I always wanted to do this for myself, choosing to do this as my husband's wedding gift was an appropriate excuse (I don't know if I have ever seen his smile and eyes so big as they were when I gave him the gift!). Even though I was nervous and shy at first, Cara makes you feel super comfortable and gives helpful instructions while shooting- not to mention she makes you laugh constantly! On top of that, Cara is incredibly talented and the pictures turned out sexy, elegant, and just stunning. I really could not say enough amazing praises about Cara, the experience, and the resulting pictures! Also, I booked an on-site hair stylist and make-up artist through Cara. Both women did an amazing job and it is totally worth getting your hair/make-up professionally done...that way you can enjoy some bubbly, too! read more

What a wonderful day it was to work with Cara. I was certainly nervous to do a boudoir shoot but Cara made it feel like you were hanging out with an old girl friend. She made an incredible effort to listen to my ideas and helped me create such a beautiful gift. This was such a great experience! CARA YOU ROCK! read more

In addition to golf clubs, watch or some other conventional wedding gift, I was considering a classy (and sexy) boudoir photo album of myself. I was hesitant and gun shy doing research of this growing trend, but once I spoke to Cara, my hesitatation became excitement! Cara has amazing energy, enthusiasm, and direction. I felt so comfortable, as well as liberated during my shoot. The photographs gave me a new found confidence as an independent and sexy woman--AND my husband LOVED them!! Cara is as professional as one can be. She assured me of the quality of her product and services and she delivered on her assurances. If not for a wedding gift, then absolutely consider it for yourself. I have never felt so beautiful! read more

I want to express my complete and utter gratitude to Cara. I shot my boudoir photos as a wedding gift to my husband 2 years ago. I have a lot of experience with photo shoots, mainly as a professional dancer, but this was a completely different, amazing experience. First off, I wanted to do something creative and Cara helped me finagle a plan to get my husband to drive his motorcycle down to her studio so we could use it in the shoot without him knowing what was going on - complete commitment to making my experience unique. It was incredible! The thought of being photographed in a neglige and/or lingerie was both exciting and terrifying for me. I had seen Cara's work and knew it was beautiful, but wasn't sure I could do what the other women did. The ingredient to helping me pose in a way that was classy, sexy and completely empowering was Cara. I've never been in a situation where another woman was so supportive and encouraging. I honestly didn't know that I could take pictures like this and the fact that they were so pretty and actually looked like me led me to use one of them as a professional head shot (from the shoulders up!) I've just returned back to Cara for a round of professional head shots after some failed attempts with other photographers. The difference with Cara is that she pulls the sexy, beauty, fun, personable, confident woman out of you and that shows up on film. I feel so lucky to have had another opportunity to work with Cara, especially in a time of my life where I have really found a sense of true self. My consistent comment when glancing at the photos that she is taking is "It looks like me only really really good!" Thank you Cara for continuing to help me show my inner beauty on the outside - I will recommend you until the end of time :)! read more

I just did my boudoir session earlier this month and OH. MY. GOD. Cara is absolutely amazing! From the moment I contacted her about a session it felt like she was my long lost friend whom I'd known for years. Excellent communication from the beginning and extremely helpful with preparations. When I met Cara for the first time, it was the day of my shoot! She opened the door to her place and again, I immediately felt like I had known her forever! I was so comfortable and at ease with her...I really like the fact that she does her shoots in her own home, rather than a studio! It didn't feel rushed at all, since she only books 1 appointment per day, so it just made me feel extra special to know that it was all about me! We were laughing the whole time and she even helped me re-curl my hair after it started to fall during the shoot, which was so nice! She is hilarious and joy to work with! As far as Cara's work goes, she knew exactly what my vision was and executed it with perfection! I got my proofs back within a week of the shoot and have now picked what images I want to put in my book. Cara has a great eye for artistic poses that still look effortless and natural. Her direction during the shoot was fantastic and I felt that we had an understanding of one another very quickly. She really listened to what I was asking for - we were on the same page for every decision that was made! Honestly, if you are even remotely interested in a boudoir session, your search must stop here with The Atelier!! I would be comfortable showing my photos to anyone - nothing is too provocative or offensive - every single image is a truly a piece of art that I would be proud to hang in my home! You will not be disappointed with Cara, I promise! read more

Cara is, in a word, extraordinary. I contacted her to do a shoot just before my wedding as both a gift to my [now] husband and the fulfillment of a long-time desire to do something empowering for myself after the work I had put in to get ready for the wedding. My expectations were beyond exceeded. The experience of having Cara assist from the very first moment in making me feel confident about my wardrobe and setting choices and then having my hair and makeup done while drinking bubbly wine and then having Cara and her team make me feel not just comfortable but confident and stunning for the duration of the shoot was incredible enough... and the photos and album that came out of the shoot are nothing short of classy, beautiful art. There are few things in your adult life that 100% exceed expectations and make you feel like everything went perfectly. This is one of them, and I genuinely look forward to working with Cara again someday. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience working with Cara. From start to finish, and through all the COVID related bumps in between, she was professional but also importantly SO friendly and kind. She made me feel comfortable even when pushing me out of my comfort zone, and the end product is so beautiful and more than I could have hoped for. I couldn't be happier that I did this, and can't wait to work with Cara in the future. read more

There are no words to describe how much I loved working with Cara! I first did my boudoir shoot a few years ago (a long overdue review). Doing something like this is completely out of my comfort zone, and Cara immediately put me at ease when I arrived. During the shoot, she gave me great direction on how to pose. We laughed a ton and had so much fun the entire time. Cara made me feel beautiful, sexy and confident. The final photos just blew my mind - they're absolute stunning and beyond perfect!! From the start to finish, just a wonderful wonderful experience!!! Just about 2 months ago, my husband and I had the privilege to work with Cara again on our wedding photos. What can I say - it was just another amazing time with Cara! Her creativity and artistry shine through her work, and her eye for catching beautiful moments is unbelievable. We HEART you Cara!! read more

Simply amazing. If I could give Cara 10 stars I would. I have never done any type of lingerie shoot and was a bit shy because as we all know there's always a part of our body that we're not comfortable with. Well let me tell you that after literally two minutes I felt so at ease because Cara's energy and guidance on what to do made me feel incredible and beautiful. The whole experience was so liberating and cathartic I would highly recommend to any woman out there that wants to get reconnected with your beautiful self. read more

There is nothing more that I can say other than "AMAZING". Cara does the most amazing work out there. I could not have been happier with my pictures and my fiance LOVED them. Ladies, understand one thing - you get what you pay for!!! I would recommend Cara to anyone, no questions asked. Besides being amazing at her job, Cara is also a really cool, personable, sweet and down to earth girl. She made the session so enjoyable and took all apprehension away. Total YES in my book!! read more

There truly aren't enough stars to give to Cara. I'd give a million if I could!! She made the experience so fun, relaxing, empowering... I could literally go on and on! Not to mention the final album was UNREAL. It exceeded my expectations (and my expectations were already high!) Outside of Cara being a fantastic artist, she is also just an amazing person who you will instantly want to be lifelong friends with :) If you are considering doing a shoot with Cara, stop considering and JUST DO IT! You will not regret it! read more

If you're thinking about doing boudoir photos, Cara is your girl. It was truly one of the most fun and rewarding experiences. Cara is so professional it literally feels like you're in a Vogue shoot. It wasn't remotely uncomfortable as Cara is amazing at giving guidance and making you feel like you're Kate Upton. I truly loved every part of this process. The best part was of course, THE PHOTOS. I will cherish the photos for a lifetime. They're by far the best photos I have of myself - stunning, sexy and tasteful. I was so obsessed with my experience I already booked round 2. Stop thinking about it, you need to do this - trust me! read more

If you are looking for the most amazing talented artist and photographer for a boudoir shoot your search can end with Cara! I booked a boudoir shoot as a wedding gift for my husband. From the moment I found The Atelier and emailed Cara with questions she created a wonderful positive experience. She was professional, prompt, and honest in answering my questions about a boudoir shoot, how to prep, what to expect and assisted in selecting the perfect end product for a gift for my groom. You will bond with Cara instantly as she is a wonderful person with a magnetic personality that will make you feel at ease & comfortable the day of your shoot. Cara is a perfectionist and your pictures will turn out absolutely stunning. She will make you feel & look like your best self. The end product is gorgeous, classy and crazy sexy!!! My photos looked very high end and had a chic modern magazine feel. Cara went above and beyond with making sure that I received my book/gift prior to my wedding day. My husband was speechless and in total awe from this gift. I would recommend The Atelier a million times over. Thank you Cara for the fun adventure and for making me feel and look perfect! read more

I can't say enough amazing things about my experience with Cara. I spent weeks reaching out to different boudoir photographers, but as soon as I heard back from Cara I knew she was the one. This was definitely something that was out of my comfort zone, but she immediately put me at ease. She was so responsive and answered all of my questions. I knew exactly what to expect at every step of the way to the point that I wasn't even nervous anymore when I arrived for my shoot. The shoot itself was SO MUCH FUN. Cara and Cindy made me feel like a rock star. I left feeling like it was a great experience even if the pictures didn't come out that great. However... when I saw the pictures, I was BLOWN AWAY. Cara was amazing at guiding me through the process of narrowing down to 20 photos (which was so much harder than I thought it would be) and picking the product that would be best to give as a wedding gift to my fiancé.

After being pregnant or breastfeeding for the last four years, I hadn't felt like myself in a while. My body is very different than it was before my first pregnancy and I was having a hard time finding my confidence again. My sister in law suggested a boudoir shoot, which I had honestly never even heard of. After some research I decided to reach out to the Atelier just to understand what would be involved and if it was right for me. Cara made me feel instantly comfortable, excited, and hopeful that this was exactly what I needed to be proud of my body now. She calmed all my fears and walked me step by step through everything. When the day of the photo shoot came, I was beyond excited. And amazingly, it was so much better than I could have hoped. Cara was so caring, fun, and the most supportive. She gave me confidence that day that I'm still carrying around today (5 months later). And then I got the photos...holy crap. They are BEYOND!!! So freaking amazing! Whenever I feel even slightly down I look at the pics and I instantly feel amazing again. I would not have changed that experience for anything and definitely will be doing it again. If you are even a little bit thinking about a shoot, go for it and do it with Atelier. You will not regret it. read more

My mother and I absolutely adored our time with Cara. As soon as she opened the door to her studio, we were enveloped with her warmth, laughter and generosity. I immediately felt at ease and I had so much fun. Cara has an uncanny talent not only with the camera but in how she is able to engage her subjects and make them feel effortlessly beautiful- inside and out. Thank you so much, Cara! read more
