One of the most empowering experiences I have ever had after struggling with weight and binge eating for a lifetime. Argentina at Art of Seduction help me truly see myself as beautiful again and realize I can take a beautiful photo. She was so amazing and supportive through the entire process. She has the ability to unlock the inner goddess within you with the assistance of her amazing hair/makeup artist. She not only is the photographer but truly believes in the beauty inside and forms a bond with her clients and encourages them to consider her destination photo shoot trips making her studio much more that your regular studio but a sisterhood and community of powerful and intelligent women. She embraces and celebrates life at any age and size and helps you unlock it. There is nothing to be intimidated about. The studio is a beautiful inviting space that creates the right ambiance for the photo shoot. Trust her judgement on her suggestions for everything, hair, make up, jewelry, and outfit selections. Bring a good variety of options and don't forget the bare essentials on her detailed information before the shoot. Better to be over prepared than under prepared because what you think might be the best for the camera might not be. She was also open to my idea of posing in my fire department bunker gear and helmet. She took several 100 pictures and one was better than the next. When I showed my best friend the two preview picture, I told him I haven't felt this beautiful since my wedding day, he told me this is how he sees me everyday and I am that beautiful, but now I gotta see it for myself through Argentina's work. She uses the term, "Investment," when discussing the photos. It is one of the greatest, "Investments," in myself I have ever done. I am so looking forward to seeing the entire finished photo book. I know it will be one of my most treasured possessions. And I have already decided that I am going to join her on one of her destination trips for a second photo shoot. Can not say how amazing everything truly is. Thank you so much Argentina!!! God bless you and can't wait to see you again!!!! Below are my raw unretouched photos that I took with my phone when we were going through my proofs in her studio, if these are photos of the screen unedited only imagine what the final product will be!!! A picture definitely speaks a...
Read moreTHIS WAS LIFE CHANGING. I took a few weeks to write this review because my head was spinning from so many emotions. After I signed up, I had immediate regret. I needed to lose at least 20 pounds, who am I dealing with and trusting to see me in such vulnerable situation? Just going out and purchasing the lingerie for the session was overwhelming. I wanted to cancel. Leaving home and driving to the studio - I almost turned around many times - my heart was in my stomach. Why would I spend money on this when I can just have a trusting friend take private pictures of me. ALL of my concerns were washed away as soon as Argentina came out of the studio and met me upon my arrival. This truly was an amazing experience. She is so very positive and professional and has an amazing eye to bring out your best sexy features. The studio is gorgeous and classy. This was a gift to myself for my 50th birthday and it is worth every penny - I am worth this experience. I am not a size 5 anymore and I feel more beautiful and sensual NOW than when I was a size 5. This is NOT just a photo shoot and pictures being taken. This has had a profound effect on me and my self esteem. Anxiety and insecurity have been a lifelong problem for me and I couldn't have asked for anyone else in the world to walk me thru this experience and help me give this gift to myself for my 50th birthday. Ten years from now I will look thru the book, remember the experience and be so happy I did this. If I didn't take this leap of faith - it would've been a...
Read moreThis experience was nothing short of amazing. As a mother of 3 beautiful daughters, I'm typically the one behind the camera and spend most of my time and money on my kids. Argentina was AMAZING. From the moment I arrived, I was comfortable and excitement quickly won out over the nerves. I rarely (never) get the opportunity to have my hair and makeup professionally done, and getting pampered prior to the shoot was absolutely delightful. Argentina coordinated my outfits for me and made me feel incredibly at ease while trying to help me get poses right. Her directions were easy to follow, and the poses were simple and SO effective! Looking at the unedited versions to make my final selections, I asked a couple times if that was really ME, because I had no idea that MY body could look SO AMAZING! This photo shoot gave me a sense of empowerment and filled me with delight that makes it worth every single penny, the memories alone are with more than I could ever be able to afford. HUGE thanks to Argentina and her team for making my day...
