She created images that tell the story of me that I didn't even know existed. Through inquiry, she helped me find the "why" of starting my new journey of publishing a children's book so I can meet the challenges that will follow. Marisa chose just the right questions and interpreted my answers with clarity to allow me to see who I really am, not just who I thought the world should see. She encouraged me to take the mask off that experiences had put on me and gave me the opportunity to be who I was created to be. She is the embodiment of a quote in my story, she saw me "with eyes of love" so I could see my publishing journey the same way. Marisa did not "market" me or my book, she supported me in defining the way I choose to enter the world and change it. There is no greater success than that. In gratitude to you Marisa, you simply pointed the way.

Her hair and makeup artist did a great job, even though the extensions I brought were difficult to work with. Brynn explained boudoir to me and showed me samples of what I could expect in the final product as well as the process and timeline. Since I needed the album soon after the shoot, Brynn sent my photos to me the same evening to pick my faves and the album was delivered much more quickly than I anticipated. I wojld recommend this experience to anyone, honestly. You don't have to do it as a gift, you can even do it for yourself. Brynn has a great eye and will make you feel and look your absolute best. She even offered to touch up any insecure areas, you just have to specify what you want. 10/10.

I decided to do a boudoir photoshoot for my 50th birthday, and it was worth every penny! From the…read moreinitial booking process to the day of the shoot, my experience with Pussycat Pinups Boudoir Photography was absolutely amazing. Beth was incredibly patient and took the time to listen to my vision while also offering her professional expertise and creative suggestions. She did my makeup, and a hairstylist styled my hair, making me feel beautiful, glamorous, and confident from the start. Even when I found myself in some funny, awkward poses, Beth made me feel completely comfortable. I trusted her and the process, and I ended up having so much fun! I was able to do multiple outfit changes, and she had a wonderful variety of backgrounds and backdrops to choose from. She created such a welcoming atmosphere with music, laughter, and easy conversation throughout the entire session. One of the things I appreciated most was the value. She offers several great package options, and mine included all of the photos plus a selection of professionally edited images. I also had Beth create a beautiful photo album as a gift for my husband, and he absolutely loved it! If you're considering a boudoir photoshoot, I highly recommend Pussycat Pinups Boudoir Photography. It was an empowering, fun, and unforgettable experience that left me feeling confident and celebrated.

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.

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?"

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!

I am truly obsessed with them!

It is easy to book a free consultation with her to discuss the details before deciding whether this would be the right fit for what I was looking for. After a phone call to go over the my questions, Caroline sent over clear details about her service, what to expect, and pricing on different packages. I knew right away this is exactly what I was looking for. The drive was a bit long for me since I come from south Orange County. This isn't my first rodeo when it come to boudoir photography but this definitely was worth the drive. It was the best experience I've had so far. Caroline and her team is very easy to work with and everything feel very comfortable during the session. From the minute you walk into the door, you feel an instant warm and welcoming vibe from the team. Everyone is easy to talk to and real sweet. I love the clothing and accessories availability. They have so many different options to choose from. Not going to ruin the surprise but there's a variety of different backgrounds and settings as well from indoor to outdoor scenery so you will have plenty of creative and fun shots for the shoot. Caroline is talented and experienced, she was able to capture a lot of good shot in a few hours that we worked together. Best of all, you don't even have to know what you are doing. She will guide you through the whole process by showing you different poses and exactly what to do to get the best shot. It's like you can come without any experience and be unprepared because she will take care of everything. Caroline's assistant is there to make sure everything goes smoothly and she's so great with everything as well. Even if you are shy, I'm sure you will feel pretty comfortable and have a lot of fun during the session. She will handle all the photo editing after the session too so don't worry about your imperfections or your skin not looking so good because a couple weird pimples decided to pop up a few days before the shoot. I would totally recommend this to anyone that is thinking of doing something special for yourself. All women are beautiful and deserved a little treat once in a while. This will be a great present to yourself and you will have some amazing photos to keep forever. That's how I feel about it. I feel like it boosted my confidence a bit too.

Shane and I have been friends for some time, and while I've always admired his work, I've always found myself wondering how he is able to work with such beautiful, aesthetically symmetrical and professional models who look natural, not posed, and always alluring. I had a chance recently to work with Shane on a set of photos to remember myself by because I'm going in for a major, planned but required surgery which will alter my appearance permanently. I honestly wasn't sure how it would go, considering (1) we are friends (2) I am ULTIMATE awkward. I in no way could ever imagine myself looking anything like anyone in his portfolio and much less appealing somehow. I just wanted to remember myself as I am, whatever that was, awkward and all. Boy, I was not prepared for how elevating this experience was, and it really is an experience. This is not a photography session, it's a therapy session (lol). Shane is natural, friendly, but also funny, thoughtful, insightful, and encouraging. The way he guides you through a session is just a hang out, and we had so much to catch up on in the time we spent together since it had been years since we last hung out. And somewhere in the midst of catching up, sharing stories, laughing and making fun of ourselves, something magical happens. I'm forever grateful for this experience with Shane because it was truly an amazing way to honor my body and myself, even as I found myself unexpectedly in this current stage in life. I felt incredibly present, empowered, and beautiful, things I could never use to honestly and truthfully describe about myself. Definitely 80000000% recommend working with Shane.
