HIGHLY recommended! I had an absolutely amazing experience with Emily…read more As a photographer myself, I am INCREDIBLY picky when it comes to photographers and photography, and Emily's work definitely stood out to me. There were countless other photographers I had looked at in the area, that all had subpar quality, forced poses, and all-out disappointing portfolios (and the vast majority were much more expensive). Even before the shoot, Emily was a dream to work with. She was great at providing reminders, suggestions, and recommendations for preparation, that really helped everything come together on the day of the session. As far as the session itself, Emily went out of her way to make everything completely seamless - from the hair and makeup to the actual shoot, it was a fun, laidback environment. She was flexible with me on some of the outfits I had trouble deciding between, and ended up allowing me to sneak a few looks in. At no point did I feel uncomfortable or awkward, which was unexpected given I am usually on the other end of the camera when it comes to photography. Historically, posing and serious facial expressions were something I had always struggled with while being photographed, but Emily does an amazing job at guiding you to capture the perfect shot. I was in awe of her passion, and that passion truly translated to the shoot and the end product. All-around it was an amazing, worthwhile experience, and I am beyond happy with the outcome. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a well-priced, high-quality photographer that is fun and motivating to work with!

I posted one of my favorites below. They really had me laughing and smiling the whole time it just made it so easy. When I saw my photos I cried.. a lot.

If you are on the fence about doing this... you should you definitely should! We will be back for couples photos.

Turns out, it was an absolute gift to ME (also blew his mind). I left feeling more beautiful & empowered than ever, & that was BEFORE I saw the pictures. Cara is not only an exceptionally talented artist, but an exceptional person & brought out a side of self love in me I didn't know existed. Then, I got the pictures. Shy me turned into a supermodel (minimal retouching needed) Seriously, I could not believe it was me. I cherish the photos, & I went back two more times for pregnancy shoots which were just as amazing as the boudoir. Book this experience, whether introvert/extrovert, single, dating, engaged, pregnant, no matter your age, it is worth every single penny & more.

If you are even 1% considering doing this for yourself, for the love of god DO IT!!!! This is…read moregenuinely 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.

The morning of the session I had also booked hair and makeup through someone she recommended, and their services were great! The session itself was also wonderful. Despite the fact that I had never done something along the lines of boudoir before, Magdalena gave a lot of instruction on how to pose and ensure my facial expressions also conveyed the right tone. She stopped to show me photos along to way so i could see how they were turning out. She promptly shared the unedited proofs with me, and they were all so good it was so hard to decide which ones I liked the best!

When the plan hit a speed bump with the location she immediately searched for and found an alternative all the while giving me updates about the situation and sending pictures of the alternatives locations. She could've just called it and reverted to the 2nd day option we set up, but she knew me and what I would want. After we sneakily found the winning spot, and my date concluded with my betrothed-to-be we set out. Taking a few candids as we approached the spot, she gave me the signal and I went into action. Getting down on one knee and forgetting what I rehearsed, I poured my heart out and Audrey was able to beautifully capture the raw emotions from both myself and my betrothed. The shots capture that love and reflect it back when you look at them. We have already booked her for our wedding shoot and I think others should too. This is art and Audrey is an artist.

There was no pushy sales pitch, they were very approachable and had great resources for me to evaluate so I could make my decision.

Adrienne made me feel so comfortable and was clearly very experienced in what works in terms of lighting, outfits, expressions, etc.. I left after the photo shoot feeling amazing. It was such an empowering experience- I went into the experience feeling like I was doing this for my fiancé but truly it was much more rewarding for me. Once I got my proofs back Adrienne spends tons of time going through all the images with me and helped me design a beautiful album.
