I decided to do a boudoir shoot and album for my fiancé as a wedding gift. I looked into a handful…read moreof different places and from the start Adrienne and Demi Girl were the most impressive. There was no pushy sales pitch, they were very approachable and had great resources for me to evaluate so I could make my decision. Once I decided to move forward I felt like every question and concern was addressed in the preparation booklets you receive. My day of shooting I was anxious and feeling insecure. 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. I absolutely love the photos and my fiancé was blown away by the album! Working with Demi girl was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend them to everyone!

Not only that Adrienne is absolutely amazing person, she is incredible photographer and her photos…read moreshow it. She makes you feel comfortable through the session, makes you feel beautiful and brings out your best features on every photograph. I absolutely love all of my photos and I highly recommend her.

Hidden on a side street in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood, Xquisx Photography houses the studio of a…read moresuper-talented photographer. Simply put, Eric is a genius behind a camera. With Playboy in his background, Eric is not only a well-trained, consummate professional, he's got an aptitude for erotica and he's not afraid to use it. I wanted professional, sexy photos for my husband, but I don't photograph well. A friend recommended Eric of Xquisx and, after seeing photos he took of her, I saw why. They were amazing! I've known and liked Eric for years, and I knew he was a professional photographer. What I didn't know was that my time with him would dramatically and positively change my opinion of him, myself, erotica and female beauty forever. My visit to Eric's studio started out uneventful. I hit the buzzer, walked up the steps, crossed the porch and knocked on the door of Xquisx carrying a bag of sexy costumes, makeup, jewelry and shoes. Eric's wife greeted me at the door (she's a lovely, talented artist, as well). Eric soon joined his wife in greeting me. He offered me water, which I gratefully accepted. I was nervous. I felt fat. I told Eric I didn't want my rolls/wrinkles/blemishes to show. He laughed, and told me to have a little faith. Then he led me downstairs. The studio is comfortable and well appointed. A separate bathroom nearby provides a private place for changing and preparing for the shoots. Jazzy, bluesy music added a level of comfort and fun. I dressed in my most conservative outfit to start. Eric asked me to pose on his "stage" while he tested the light levels and set up his background. His camera started flashing and, before long, I was playing the part of "model." Many shots, costume changes and poses later, I was flushed, tired and optimistic. Eric showed me some of the shots on his PC display. I couldn't believe it! He captured me in ways I didn't know were possible. Later, when he sent me the final product, I was astonished! Is that me?? Eric didn't try to cover my imperfections; he highlighted and presented them in artistically interesting and beautiful ways. I LOVED my pictures and immediately started loving my "imperfections!" Eric of Xquisx did not try to change me into a movie star or model, nor did he airbrush me into society's opinion of perfection (that's for amateurs). No, what Eric did was show me a different way of seeing my beauty through the eyes of a master lensman who knows erotica, art, photography and the true meaning of female beauty. My husband was thrilled with the results. And I'm thrilled with me. NOTE: Eric also took photos of my husband, and made him seem like a gorgeous male model ... I highly recommend Xquisx, especially if you wish to see yourself through the eyes of a talented, pro-woman, erotic photo artist. This could really change your life.

Eric's work is a reflection of how he lives his life. He never seems to be in a rush. As a result, when you arrive at his home, it seems like he gives you all the time in the world to relax before you change into something much more revealing. When my girlfriend and I arrived, he offered us a beverage and just hung out while we chatted. It was a normal conversation, no pressure to decide on what we were going to wear or not wear for the photo shoot. When we finally got onto the subject, it was completely natural and actually very exciting. Any nervousness we felt before we arrived had disappeared. As we began the shoot, a little nervousness was back. But that quickly melted away as his personality was the same behind the camera as when we arrived. After that, it was simply fun. And we ended up with some very sexy, (and a few steamy) photos. I highly recommend Xquisx to men and women. In this photo shoot, I was mostly a prop for my gf. But only because that is what we chose to do. I would definitely use Xquisx for professional photos as well. Eric is that good.

Before there was a Motionn Picture, I wanted to "be Ravi". #ToughCrowd…read more Having seen this guy's work for some time now, and learning that he finally made a Yelp page? It's only natural that I tell you guys about him. I've seen him in action on several occasions, and I gotta tell ya... He is a PHENOMENAL photographer, one that I take many cues & pointers from myself. He's got a style like no other in the Jersey area. There is no "specialty" in his repertoire. While his primary focus is the MODELING industry, that isn't the only notch under his belt. He's pretty freakin' primo when it comes to weddings & other settings (hey, that rhymed). He doesn't just shoot models... He does family portraits, lingerie shoots, kid's shots, and much more. But if you are indeed a model, he'll make a super-wicked comp card. I've seen 'em, bruh. If you take a look at MY photo with this review, you'll see the quality of his work. He managed to make MY weird mug look kinda cute! Lol. Seriously, though... He has amassed a dope following for his work in portraits, events, and even editorial photography. What's great about this dude is that he doesn't just SHOOT the photos, but he's highly skilled in directing his subjects & models, and making them feel incredibly comfortable in front of a camera. Not many photogs have the ability (nor the patience) to truly connect with a subject and make them 'pop' and shine for portraits. Ravi has a great eye for detail, as well... Making sure that there is nothing in a photo that would otherwise detract from your beauty, and what you're trying to accomplish in said photos... He's got an INCREDIBLE studio space, with cool backdrops and FANTASTIC lighting, all of the above. Loads of space for shooting, FULL bathrooms, changing rooms, the whole nine. You will absolutely get loads of leg exercise going upstairs... However, once you've caught your breath? You'll probably lose it again once you see his work IN-STUDIO. Lol.

I searched for a while for a boudoir photographer (in and around Chicago) whose work didn't look…read morecheesy or out dated. I know there is a very thin line between vulgar photos and classy yet, sexy boudoir pictures. I knew exactly what I did NOT want - the same old shots with fake chandeliers, ugly wall paper, zebra, or leopard print curtains and forced sexiness. The people that I initially called did not have the style I was looking for and were absolutely not affordable either. I was about to give up when I found Provocouture Boudoir. They did not have any reviews online, but had stunning photos. I was very skeptical yet drawn toward the refreshing style of the photos. I made a note of their phone number and called them the next day. Ravi, the lead boudoir photographer, promptly picked up the phone and walked me through his previous work in fashion and beauty. What honestly worked for me were his examples of people captured with some sort of movement in them while in nice lingerie or fabric. The phone conversation helped me able to envision myself in those poses and I quickly booked my appointment before I lost my courage to get these photos done. The shoot was scheduled 2 weeks from the day I spoke to them. I planned 4 different looks for my shoot with their team and knew exactly what I needed to bring and what they would be providing. I went to my own makeup artist and got my make up there to my liking since I have been using the same person for all my makeup needs. On the day of the shoot, I was greeted by warm, friendly people and felt like I was meeting up with old friends. They are silly, funny, warm but made me work. I enjoyed every minute of the session. Since everything was preplanned, all that I did was have fun at the shoot. They showed me almost all the photos right away and I honestly could not believe that it was me. I was very conscious of the way my arms and thighs looked, every girl's nightmare I guess. (not their mistake LOL) They said they would take care of it in post retouches. I get a certain number of photo shop edits with the package. They told me they would have the edits ready in 2 weeks, but I got them in less than 10 days. The final photos blew my mind! They captured the sexy me efficiently and effortlessly while letting me having fun. I must have looked at my own images a few hundred times! Some of you (or all of you) may relate with this...you know how you have an image of yourself in your head, and that image would look super-confident after a really nice cut and color? This shoot as given me several times that confidence overnight. I feel great about myself and I am writing this so you can also feel that way. If you are wondering about price, I paid $495 for my package and feel like I got a GREAT value. Call these guys while they are still affordable and available :-) They are AWESOME!

I don't think you can pick a better person to be captured by than Elizabeth. From the moment you…read morefirst talk with her throughout the whole process, she has a way of understanding and capturing you that can't be taught. Her natural warmth and kind-heartedness make an experience that could easily be uncomfortable and frightening, comfortable. I have a lot of natural anxiety surrounding anything too vulnerable (like being photographed) and have a difficult time letting go of control. However, in Elizabeth and Zachera's (beautification expert) talented hands, I was able to let my guard down and go along with the experience. Then, when I received the final product, I was floored! I couldn't believe that the beautiful creature they'd captured was me! I highly recommend Womanly. You won't regret getting to know Elizabeth (or Zachera).

My favorite part about the experience was how Elizabeth took the time to get to know me, both before the shoot in a couple meetings and during the shoot when she initiated conversation to try and show who I was as a woman. She never tried to have me fit into a mold of what she wanted me to be, rather she drew out who I am. Womanly Portraits and Boudior let me express myself in a way I didn't know was possible...and they gave me the perfect birthday present for me boyfriend :) Not to mention a new friendship with the lovely lady who runs the company!
