This review is going to be long, but worth the read! Anyone can take a photo, not everyone can capture the literal essence of your beauty within an image. Katie does! EVERY WOMAN NEEDS TO DO A BOUDOIR SHOOT, WITH BEAU BOUDOIR with Katie!!
I did SERIOUS research looking in to this, and there are so many fakes/hustlers with subpar results. As I said, anyone can take a picture. For a boudoir shoot, I needed more than just my photo taken. I needed to capture my femininity, my sexuality, elevate my esteem...I didn't need sexy photos taken, I needed the essence of beauty from within captured and brought forth. Katie at Beau Boudoir is the ONLY one I would recommend, trust, and have 100% confidence in the end result being absolutely phenomenal, and a guaranteed amazing experience!
I had first contacted Katie and booked the session a year and a half prior! I had cancer totally ravage my self esteem, and strip me of my femininity feeling, among a few other serious health issues that doctors said should have killed me. Also, I had lost my mom not even two months prior to doing this shoot - so I was in a very low, dark place inside. I didn't think I'd have any "sparkle" for Katie to capture. I was desperate for someone to help pull me out of that darkness. Likely, any other photographer would have said "sorry 'bout that. No refund and try again, or don't. Whatever." Let me tell you - Katie didn't dismiss me, didn't treat me like a paycheck - she made me feel human. She made me feel cared about - BEFORE even meeting her!
Absolutely the BEST experience!! Katie is absolutely amazing, super sweet, fun, and makes you feel instantly comfortable! The studio is intimate and gorgeous, and everything has a personal touch catered to you. I was so nervous about doing this, I'm so painfully shy, and didn't know what to expect, I thought I'd feel exposed, judged, etc. Totally not even close to what the reality was. The moment I walked in, I was greeted like family, and Katie's energy was contagious, and she is so charming and warm, it was a blast from the start!
Her makeup artist made me feel so beautiful, - I had no idea I could look like that! I looked like myself, but enhanced! Like a real life filter effect! Lol I truly felt feminine, and lovely.... Katie made me feel truly beautiful, comfortable, and was able to bring out a side of me I didn't even know existed!! And let me tell you, Katie didn't just say empty words, she was genuine. Katie literally is one of the most pure, genuinely beautiful women (inside and out) that honestly truly believes with all she is, that EVERY WOMAN IS BEAUTIFUL AND SPECIAL IN THEIR OWN UNIQUE WAY - and you just KNOW she means it, and it shows in her work. You can't fake those results. I knew I was in great hands, and she EFFORTLESSLY made me feel at ease, comfortable, excited and empowered to be doing the photos, and I had FUN!
Katie has a raw natural talent and eye for this niche, and that's so rare to find! I have no doubt I'll be back again! I can't recommend her enough, or speak highly enough of her. I genuinely knew I wasn't just a "customer" - it felt more like she was a soul sister who was helping me embrace my femininity again and find that love for myself and the beauty within she already knew was there. Everything start to finish was so effortlessly comfortable, easy going, and fun! The entire atmosphere felt perfect! The studio itself is so beautiful, and varied - it can cover styles A-Z for sure! And everything felt classy, and top notch quality! Sorry to be repetitive, but I can't stress those points enough!
EVERY WOMAN should experience a boudoir shoot with Katie at Beau Boudoir! It will revive an inner glow in you that you didn't even know was dimmed! Katie has a natural gift at capturing beauty in all forms!
Thank you so much, Katie! You gave me so much more than lovely photos and memories, you helped me find my inner glow and come out of that darkness I was in for so long. And that, to me, is priceless!! I have nothing but love and...
Read moreBest experience of my life HANDS DOWN!!! I spent days and days looking at Boudoir portfolios, trying to find the perfect Boudoir Photographer. I spoke to five photographers altogether and Katie won me over heart and soul. I have always wanted to do a boudoir session and it wasn't until I found out I was in renal failure that I knew I had to make it happen now! I told Katie my reasonings for wanting this so badly and she listened carefully and recommended a couples shoot, she knew EXACTLY what I needed and wanted! She listened to all my ideas on the weeks leading up to the shoot and prepped me perfectly every step of the way. From picking out the perfect outfits, to prepping your skin for the best photos and more. I even learned more about lingerie and the different types... KATIE IS A PRO!! The day of the shoot.... Hair and makeup: AMAZING!!!! A+++ The makeup artist made me feel and look beautiful and didn't let my less than perfect skin stop her in any way! She did my makeup exactly how I dreamed it would be and did it fast and perfectly! The studio: beautiful, clean, calming and upbeat at the same time. So many perfect settings for lots of different photos, themes, etc. Absolutely stunning studio! You can tell she really put her heart and soul into this The wardrobe: WAS ON FIRE!!! Name brand everything and so much to choose from. Katie has everything to make your outfits perfect! Katie: One word... PHENOMENAL!!! She made me feel like I was in charge but at the same time gave us the perfect guidance for the PERFECT photos. My health was less than great that day and we had many set-backs, but she never rushed and helped me every step of the way. This woman is incredible to say the least! She is kind, compassionate, caring, genuine, and an absolute pro at this. She has thought of things you wouldn't even dream of that make your pictures magical and special. She has real talent; the unedited photos were amazing in itself. Katie makes you feel beautiful and truly cares about your dream experience. If you want the best boudoir session and phenomenal photos, if you want to feel and look like a goddess for a day and then have the most breath-taking photos to prove it, if you want the most amazing couples boudoir experience of your life, I have done the hours and hours of research for you and am here to tell you.... Katie is the one!! You will NOT be disappointed, I can promise you that. Thank you, Katie, for making this everything I had hoped for and more. You are an angel here on earth! Love...
Read moreEvery woman should do a boudoir shoot once in her lifetime! It's about taking the time to embrace yourself and feel sexy. I contacted a few other studios, and they paled in comparison to the responsiveness and level of attention Beau Boudoir provided. Right off the bat, Katie's personality and willingness to explain the set options and details for the shoot makes you feel so comfortable. Not only that, but her website is very in-depth and there are lots of photos of the different options, if you are the type of person that likes to plan ahead of time.
I was in a rush to get boudoir photos done in order to have time to get an album made for my husband to have the night before our wedding. Katie went the extra mile and had the photos edited and back to me within days of the photo shoot.
Once I started reviewing my photos, I felt like a little kid at Christmas time! I was thrilled how she managed to take photos at all the most flattering angles.
Her studio is absolutely beautiful...there's a gorgeous bedroom with a pink head board with large windows overlooking the pool...
The backyard looks like I'm at a 5 star resort in the photos!
Many thanks to Katie and Beau Boudoir for making this such a wonderful experience for me!!!
I liked her skills so much that I actually asked her if she would redo some of my wedding photos two weeks after I got my photos back from the wedding photographer. Since Katie knows how to get those flattering angles, now I am soooo happy with the Bride & Groom photos, I have some that I will definitely feel excited to enlarge and frame in my home. :-)
If you have ever considered doing a boudoir photo shoot - Katie is a jewel of a photographer at a very reasonable price, with the most amazing studio for boudoir photos that...
