I checked out Valentines Studios and Meg was very welcoming...we instantly connect and in doing so, I proceeded to have a photo shoot done for my birthday. I mentioned to her that I pretty much lost all my good photos over the years and I do not have a collection of my own photos ever done professionally other than school photos and photo I.D. LOL. As a photographer myself, I did find her professional fees reasonable. Her presentations of the choice of packages were so inviting. But the most important with my photo shoot experience was putting me out of my shy mode. We had fun doing the photo shoot. Her thoughtfulness touched my heart. She got me a big balloon with a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Believe it or not, it was my late dad who gave me my first red balloon when I was 5 years old and never had one thereafter until this one from Meg. Memories! The results! Everyone said: WOW! Say no more...go and have fun at Valentines Studios! Terri Kidd read more

Met this wonderful woman through Groupon and my gosh I'm sure glad I did! Had some fabulous pictures taken for my boyfriend who's a marine deployed overseas and he absolutely loved them. Was literally speechless. Had my make up done and had her accessorize and help pose me and she's just beyond amazing. So professional and so sweet throughout the entire process! Worth every penny! Invest in a good photographer, you won't be disappointed! read more

Megan is awesome!! Loved her style and all the pictures. 1st time taking pictures in lingerie. Megan is wonderful she makes you feel pretty, sexy & confident while posing for the camera. It's really private is just you and her, unless you want to bring someone with you then it's up to you. Picking the perfect pictures for my husband was a piece of cake, since Megan know exactly what men love to see. Showed my pictures to my girlfriends & the all want to come to Megan, for their sexy pictures. Pricing wise is worth it. I am definitely coming back. Megan rocks!!! read more

This was a great experience overall. Meg made me feel like a super model. I arrived and felt like I had known her for years with the way she greeted me. She was very kind to go through everything prior such as poses, tips, and outfits ideas. My pictures came out fabulous and my boyfriend loved them so much. I couldn't believe that the woman in the pictures were me!! This is definitely a must for any girl I think in their life!! You will not regret it, I promise. read more

There is absolutely nothing negative to say about the experience I have with valentine studios and Meg. I bought a groupon on a whim and figured my boyfriend would love it (plus... I could have the photos in the future for when I'm old to remember that i look good)! If you couldn't guess yet, yes I am talking about her boudoir photo sessions. Now.... I was not comfortable and extremely shy about the whole experience at first. It took a lot of courage and fabulous encouragement from my friends to just do it and call. From the moment I called, Meg brought a lot of comfort to me and reassurance that she has been doing this for a long time. She worked with my crazy schedule and we finally got something in the books. She has you bring in a few of your own outfits and do your own hair. I preferred it that way because everyones hair is different. She did a great job on my make up and yes.....thank you for the fake lash suggestion!!!!!! They were fabulous!!! She helped me to coordinate which outfits to use and were best (I would bring extra in case you can't decide). Just talking to her about life, her experience, and how she got to where she is today...... Made it comforting and more fun!!!!!!! Overall she is a wonderful individual and I find her entrepreneurship inspiring! :) During the photo shoot I laughed and told jokes much of the time, that is my nervous tick. She made it fun along the way and told me exactly how to pose and staged it perfectly. She would show me the photos while shooting to show me.... "Girl you look good!" After I saw the photos....... I was just in awe....... The lighting, make up, and how I looked..... Stunning!!! I believe EVERY woman should do this once in their life while they still can.......!!!! I bought the USB of all of the photos because they were too good to decide on 3. So now..... My man has a gift in piece meals for the next year ;) Overall, Meg is fabulous and I KNOW she will continue to excel in her photography! The photos are worth every penny and the experience will absolutely make you feel good and confident about your appearance. read more

When I walked into Meg's studio, I already knew that men considered me attractive, but when I looked in the mirror, I didn't see the same.. I've spent much of my life putting on makeup, spending too much money on the perfect outfit, and getting my hair done a ridiculous number of times to impress and catch the perfect guy. By the time I went to see Meg, I was 30, single, living paycheck to paycheck, and dying to get my self-confidence back.. and boy, did Meg deliver!! Meg has the ability to bring out the inner beauty through tapping into the awesome personality of every woman who enters her studio, allowing her radiance and inner-temptress to shine through. She makes you feel young again, and catches angles and shots of you that you never knew existed. While she does touchup the photos, the original woman isn't lost, simply enhanced to remind her that she is truly a beauty and a goddess. If you've even played with the idea of boudoir, I highly encourage you to visit Meg!! She makes the entire experience comfortable, fun, and liberating. And the pictures you take home will be a constant reminder of how beautiful you are day in and day out regardless of how you look, feel, or your relationship status. Meg will certain touch and change your life with nothing more than a couple props and a camera. Thank you, Meg!!! read more

I think there are so many things in life that make us feel a certain way about ourselves. I experienced a photo shoot with Meg and honestly felt like I saw myself for the first time. Meg has this way of calming you especially being in such a vulnerable situation. That was hard for me at first but as the shoot progressed, let's just say I came out of my shell. Thanks Meg, you truly have a gift. I was more than happy with all of my photos and look forward to next time in the near future. read more

I first hired Valentine Studios to do my business headshots. I just liked Megs demeanor and even though she was networking her sexy photography sessions I asked her if she could do my professionals ones. She did an amazing job, I don't find myself to be comfortable around the camera or all that photogenic. She somehow made me feel stronger and more confident. She even coached me a little on my wardrobe choices. Once the shoot was over and I had had to choose my shots I was shocked! I liked so many of them. Once I chose my favorites she spent some time doing minor touch-ups to make them look even more fabulous. Wow, is that me? It does look like me, just on my very best day! After the positive experience with that photoshoot I did a very odd thing for me. I scheduled a sexy photoshoot (can't spell what it is really called). I felt so comfortable and at ease. It was amazing! It actually really helped my confidence and was almost a breakthrough moment for me with all my "insecurities". Again, feeling confident, beautiful, and strong. When I went back to go look at the photos I couldn't believe my eyes. I couldn't decide on just a few, I needed them all. I ended up purchasing the entire amount on CD. Whenever I need a little self confidence pick me up I now have these to go look at. Thank you Meg, you helped change how I feel about myself. You do an AMAZING job. I never thought I would do photos like this. I would recommend this to any woman. Embrace your beauty whether you realize you have it or not, Meg see's it and will show you how to see it too. read more

This was such an amazing experience for me. Meg was so profressional, patient, and fun! She made me feel very comfortable and sexy. I would highly recommend her. I did it for myself on my 30th birthday, went back a few years later, and have recommended many friends to Valentine Studios. Its a must do as a woman! read more

When I received my photos about a week after the shoot I was absolutely blown away! Meg is such a genius with the lighting and camera I literally look flawless in these photos, even the ones she didn't have to airbrush! The photo shoot itself was SO MUCH FUN!! Meg made me feel comfortable right away. Her "bedside manner" is impeccable. Friendly and open to ideas and thoughts and very very professional. I could not believe how much fun I had! I'm so excited to share the photos with my boyfriend, especially with Valentines Day coming up. They are such a beautiful keepsake for myself as well. I recommend this service to all!! A truly wonderful, special, and oddly relaxing experience. read more

Very professional place and great ambiance. I would recommend Valentines studios to anyone.

Meg is a fantastic photographer!!! My shoot was professional and I felt so comfortable, and the images were stunning before any airbrushing. I love my pictures and would send anybody to Valentine Studios. read more

Every woman should do a budoir photoshoot at least once in her lifetime, and Valentine Studios is definitely the place to go! Did a photoshoot a couple years back for my 26th birthday at Meg's old studio in Pasadena, and let me tell you - it was worth every penny! She is an AMAZING photographer who will help bring out your inner sexiness, leaving you feeling beautiful and confident in your own skin. Like a true professional, she understands your wants and concerns and will work with you every step of the way to ensure that only the most fabulous pictures will come out! Will definitely make the long drive down to San Diego to do another one soon. And you should, too - trust me, you won't regret it! read more

I booked a boudoir photo shoot with Valentine Studios as a gift for my husband for our anniversary. I felt a little reserved going into it but Meg makes you feel SO comfortable right from the moment you walk in the door. She did an amazing job on my makeup and she made me feel sexy yet completely comfortable during the photo shoot. Best of all, the pictures were absolutely incredible - not only is she super friendly but she is an amazing photographer! If you have ever considered doing a boudoir photo shoot - you can't go wrong with Valentine Studios! read more

It's hard to describe accurately just how much I ADORE Meg and her talents...I have just gotten my 2nd set of photos from her and I want to share them with the entire planet but they are *ahem* a wee bit too racy to post here on Yelp! Or Facebook. Or anywhere public. Hehe...I'm not shy and some are downright artistic and magazine spread worthy dang it!!! It actually kills me how few people I can share these amazing photos with! I keep marveling at how wonderful they turned out, and it made me re-live the experience all over again! I am from Cerritos and the drive to San Diego was well worth it! I got my hair done earlier that day and she does all your makeup and looks over what you have brought and mixed it up with all her fun accessories and shoes and cute outfits (I was in love with the wings..could barely stand to take them off!) All I can say is...every woman needs to do this at least once in their life. I felt like a rock star, a victoria secret angel, goddess, temptress, naughty minx, innocent maiden, and everything else in between! After my photo shoot I walked out of there all giddy and my euphoric state lasted pretty much all dang day...and I am eager to do a 3rd set! I did a set at 32, and now at 34....and my goal is to do my final one at 36! WORTH EVERY PENNY. Amazing experience. Can't rave enough about her and her work! One thing to note...I took these not for my hubby but for myself. I can't wait until I'm 80 and look back and see that I was a hot tamale!!! I have showed my photos to all my girlfriends and each one pretty much have plans to go make the trek down to San Diego to take pics with Meg too! What's wonderful about this whole thing is that the focus isn't about your flaws at all, it's pretty much a celebration of YOU! There is beauty in every woman, all shapes and sizes, and Meg is excellent at highlighting your best assets and making sure to minimize any imperfections (imaginary and real) and for that I am most grateful~ Thanks again and can't wait to come back again! read more

I had so much fun doing this shoot! Meg is a very cool person, talented and a wiz with a makeup brush. I felt super sexy, yet comfortable and relaxed, borrowing one of her boostiers, jewelry, and shoes to enhance my lingerie. She is fun to chat with, and gave me great poses and pointers to get some amazing photos. She had three different "sets," which makes for a nice variety. There were so many good ones, we had trouble narrowing them down! We just had a baby daughter 6 months prior to the shoot, and I wanted to revive the romance, since our focus had been so much on baby. I chose 5 to give to my husband for Valentine's Day, and I leaked them slowly at dinner in a nice restaurant, and he ended up smooching me a loooong I-don't-care-who's-watching smooch, so I guess he liked them! I saved the best one for when we got home, and it had the desired result as well. ;-) Thank you thank you Meg, this was the best idea ever! read more

I'm not sure I could put into words just how amazing an experience this was for me! Meg instantly made me feel comfortable and listened to everything that I had to say about concerns, etc. I felt so comfortable that I decided to go with an outfit that I wouldn't have ever thought to choose for myself! When the photo shoot started, I had so much fun! I felt confident, sexy, and laughed more than I would have thought I would. I highly recommend Meg and Valentine Studios. I'm still amazed at my photos!!! read more

I'm pregnant and have been feeling like a beached whale; but at the same token, I really wanted some professional photos to memorialize my pregnancy. I'm SOoooo happy that I chose Valentine Studios for this service! Meg's personality immediately put me at ease, which is an amazing skill considering how vulnerable a person could otherwise feel when baring your body in full light with a camera in front of you. That said, I was really surprised at how quickly and easily we breezed through hundreds of camera clicks... and later, I was even more surprised at how many GREAT photos I had to choose from... especially since I don't usually think that I look good in photos. I'm so grateful to Meg for helping me have such a great experience, and fantastic photos to last a lifetime! read more

After having my photoshoot done by Meg a few weeks ago, I can concur with all the other reviews. Meg is absolutely amazing! She's professional, personable, and knows what she's doing from A to Z. Every woman should feel sexy about themselves and Meg does a wonderful job of capturing this. When my photoshoot was booked, I was definitely nervous. I wasn't sure how I was going to pull off the sexy look. When I first arrived in studio I was amazed to find out that it was a one woman show. Meg does everything from make-up, styling (wardrobe changes), photography, and touch-ups. Before anything is started, she'll work with you on your outfits. Bring anything that you want to use in the photo shoot, but she also has other goodies you can use such as corsets, thigh highs, jewelry, heels, and other fun things. After selecting my outfits, Meg started on my make-up. Meg did my make-up in a very classy-sexy manner where after it was done, I was already beginning to embrace the "sexy". Throughout the photoshoot Meg made me feel extremely comfortable and coached me through all the poses. I personally have imperfections, but Meg never made me feel ashamed or embarrassed. I'm amazed at what Meg can do with a camera. She knows what looks good and what doesn't and will coach you accordingly to make sure you get the best possible look. Our photo shoot went over the expected time frame, but at no point did she rush me. At different points she would show me some of the pictures on camera and I was amazed at how the raw photos looked. I can't wait to see the finished product! If you're looking to do a boudoir photo shoot, Valentine Studios is the way to go. I've been recommending them to every woman I know! read more

Meg is amazing! She is so sweet and professional and knows exactly how to get a woman to loosen up and unleash her sassy side. My husband had been asking me to do boudoir photos for him for a while and it is not really in my personality to do sexy pictures - but the experience was awesome. The photos are amazing and just the right combination of sexy, classy and fun. I have given Meg's card to every woman I know because any woman can get a confidence boost seeing themselves like a Victoria's Secret model for the day. Thank you Meg for the great experience and beautiful pictures - my husband is OBSESSED with them! read more

I had my first boudoir photo shoot with Meg today and I am happy to say that the experience was so enjoyable. I was a little nervous, but Meg made me feel like I was at home with a girlfriend. Her studio is perfect! The ambience is private and clean. She lets you use her beautiful jewelry! Meg was great at directing me. I am so excited to see my pics! Every woman should go see Meg :-) read more

I was beyond nervous to do my boudoir photo shoot for my boyfriend's valentine's day gift but the second I walked into the studio Meg made me feel at ease and soooo comfortable. The studio is all yours during your shoot so it is very private and you feel right at home. I have never been good at making "sexy faces" or "acting sexy" for that matter but she made me feel like a pro! Her advice on everything was so perfect that it took all the thinking and second guessing out of it. Meg showed me a couple of pictures just right off the camera and my thought was "holy crap that's me?!" Plus, my makeup looked so good I couldn't waste it so I had my boyfriend take me out to dinner that night haha. I walked out of my session thinking all women should do this, not just for their husbands or boyfriends but for themselves cause it felt so empowering. I can't wait to see my final pictures. read more

Where do I even begin? Every positive word I can think of can be used to describe Meg and Valentine Studios. She is so friendly, professional, and has a true passion for what she does. A boudoir photoshoot was completely out of my comfort zone, but Meg has an amazing persona that just made feel completely at ease. She makes the environment fun with the set up, music, and her sense of humor. I believe every woman should do a boudoir photoshoot with Meg! You will definitely be beyond satisfied! read more

So comfortable, really easy, easy parking, quaint entrance, lots of fun. If your shy, this is the best place to be photographed by a professional female photographer. I highly recommend! read more

I just went to look at my pictures today and they were ALL so good I couldn't pick so I ended up buying them all on the CD. Meg did an amazing job!!! I decided to go do this photo shoot as a wedding present for my husband. He saw a couple of the pictures and was blown away with how they turned out!!!! From the moment I walked into her studio she made me feel right at home. I loved how easy to was to talk to and we chatted it up the entire time. I never felt uncomfortable or nervous. Hands down I'd go back and I'd recommend her to all my friends. Loved loved loved it all. The best part was when she did my make-up and we talked the entire time in the chair. That set the tone for how comfortable she was to talk with. During the photo shoot she had great music playing and really made me feel like a hot woman!!! Thank you Meg so much! I LOVE the pictures!!! read more

My girlfriend recently took boudoir pictures with Meg as a surprise for our anniversary. The pictures came out AMAZING. I've never seen this side of my girlfriend and I am so thankful for Meg for capturing this side of her. When I went to the viewing of the pictures, not only was I impressed with Meg's talent but was also impressed with her professionalism and sense of humor. My girlfriend goes on and on about how Meg made her feel very comfortable, even to do topless shots, which I am also thankful to Meg for. Ladies, if you want to do something mind blowing for your man, or even for yourselves, I recommend a boudoir shoot with Meg! read more

I had never gotten in front of the camera before for a "shoot". Meg was professional and friendly. I felt totally comfortable by her encouraging me and gently directing me. She did my make up which came out fantastic. I love my pictures and am so happy i went to her. Would def recommend to everyone read more

Meg is an incredibly talented photographer and is so great at making you feel beautiful and comfortable. She has a great sense of humor and makes the experience fantastic. The photos came out SO amazing. It is something I will have forever and to show my kids that Mom was HOT! I've also used her to develop my portfolio of professional headshots. She always gives me what I need. I won't ever use anyone else. read more

Meg is the best. She really makes you feel like a queen. She is so friendly and makes you feel like you are home. If you are looking for the best photographer in CA then look no more, you found her. Nice studio, plenty of parking, and 4 studio sets for your pictures. She does your make up and makes sure you look the best. :))) read more

Meg is simply amazing! A professional through and through, her pictures prove it. I did my shoot as a gift, she made me feel relaxed and ready to take some great pictures. A few weeks later when I got to see them all I could hardly believe how great they turned out. Look no further for a perfect Boudoir Photographer! read more
