Client Stories & Experiences

Real stories from real clients

Some clients come in knowing exactly what they want, and some don't know where to start. All sessions include a planning zoom to go over everything including hair/makeup, wardrobe, mood, looks and more!

"I had an absolutely fun time shooting boudoir with Barb! She was so easy to work with, kind, made me feel comfortable, and the photos turned out stunning. I will definitely be contacting her in the future for more shoots and highly recommend!!"

— Kuma L.

"Barb, the photoshoot was so much fun. Being a size 3X and celebrating being 80 years old, I'm sure I was a challenge. But you didn't see me as a challenge, you made me look young and glamorous and thin! Oh thank you so much, you are truly an artist with your camera... it was so fun and your studio was so exciting!"

— Sharon G.

"This was the most amazing experience of my life. I met Barb at a time in my life when I felt very unattractive. Nothing about me seemed beautiful; she gave me the confidence back...do not walk away, it's a chance of a lifetime."

— Sonya H.

"I can not say enough how strongly I recommend Barb. She is amazing, skilled and made me feel so beautiful. She is a wonderful photographer and her prices are on point. I feel like completely different person after this experience.. Anyone interested in boudoir sessions would benefit greatly. She's funny and makes you feel so comfortable. Her makeup and hair artist was wonderful also. I had a great experience and I give her 5+ plus, plus! Thank you so much, Barb for a wonderful experience."

— Heather A.

Questions, answered with care

A boudoir session should feel natural, not intimidating.

If you're wondering whether you’ll be comfortable, yes. We plan your session, start slow, and I guide you through every pose.

The relationship with your photographer matters. Before you book, we talk together so you can hear my voice, ask questions and feel whether the experience is right for you. No matter who you choose as your photographer, choose someone you feel relaxed with. That connection becomes part of the portrait and the connection shows.

Will my photos be shared online?

Only if you give permission. Your comfort level always come first.

Do you retouch my images?

Yes, each final image is lightly retouched for color, contrast, and small distractions. I keep skin texture, curves, and features true to life. However some clients want more retouching and we discuss that during our planning zoom and find the level you are comfortable with.

What do I wear?

We’ll build a wardrobe plan together. I provide a guide, inspiration boards, and access to select studio pieces if you'd like.

I'm nervous, what can I expect the day of our session?

It is really normal to feel that way. Every session begins with a consult, gentle posing instruction, private changing, and constant encouragement, many clients come either as first time clients or even repeat clients and can feel nerves sometimes but feel so relaxed by the end, they are already thinking about what they might do for the next one!
