Boudoir by Debbie Ringle

Being a professional photographer myself, I have really high expectations for the quality of photographs and service I receive when I hire someone to photograph me and mine. Debbie not only met my expectations, but she exceeded them. I have to be fully honest; I am not in the best of places right now with my self-confidence. My body feels like it's not my own and I've been in an overall "funk" since having my child. My son's birth is the most amazing thing to ever happen to me, but boy oh boy did my body go through some major changes in order to have him. I realize that this is something that most women go through, but I am still having a hard time coming to terms with it. After opening up to a friend about my issues, she suggested a boudoir session with Debbie. I told her that she was crazy, although I was secretly wishing that was something that I could feel comfortable with. My friend expressed how she was feeling the same way before she had her session; she was fearful and she was filled with anxiety of how the camera would portray her and her body. But then she shared with me what the camera had captured - true beauty. She was happy and full of life and you could see that not a care in the world was on her mind throughout her session. She explained that Debbie had brought that out of her and really encouraged me to consider a session. I decided to take the plunge. I am so happy that I made the decision to go for it. I was filled with the same fears and anxieties that my friend was before her session, but Debbie was able to pull the "real me" out during my session. She captured me in such a beautiful way that I didn't think was possible right now. When I look at the images that Debbie took at me I don't see the extra weight that I've put on, I don't see the scattered stretch marks, I don't see the new scars - I just see pure joy and innocent beauty. So would I recommend Debbie to my closest friends? ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY! I say go for it. You won't regret it. I walked away not only with amazing photographs, but with much more confidence. Thank you, Debbie! ------------------------------------- PS - You do not need to be a bride or part of a wedding to have a boudoir session. I had to choose a "role in the wedding" for this review, but there was no wedding. I chose "guest" only because I was made to choose a role. I did this boudoir session for me *just because*.

I decided to do a boudoir shoot after a friend kept raving about what a great experience she had with Debbie. After hearing this, I just had to do it for myself. I was super excited after talking with Debbie on the phone, she took so much time to explain everything and gave great suggestions to make the shoot even better! I never felt more beautiful before, during and after the shoot! You would think, can you really be comfortable being half naked getting your picture taken? The answer - YES! She makes you feel so relaxed and comfortable - the time just flies by and you have amazing photos! I was so excited after the shoot I was barely able to keep it a secret from my husband. He saw the pictures and was blown away! I still can't believe it's me in the pictures - Debbie truly captures the beauty! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

I truly walked out of my session with Debbie with a completely different opinion of myself and of boudoir photography. I walked in self conscious, bummed that I didn't lose weight before my session, nervous, anything that you think you could feel I probably was feeling. I walked out feeling empowered, beautiful, confident, and like that session went way too fast because I was having so much fun! I loved doing my session with Debbie! If you haven't done a boudoir session and you are feeling scared, self conscious, nervous, or trying to find any reason that you shouldn't do it... message Debbie and she will make you feel so much better. no woman should ever find any reason to not do a boudoir session because it is so so so empowering and uplifting. I will never look back and say that it wasn't a great experience. I walked away feeling like I needed to spread the word about how amazing Debbie is and how amazing she is at doing boudoir and how she simply makes you feel like you are the most beautiful woman in the world! Please do yourself a favor and set up a session with Debbie, You will not regret it! you don't need to have a special reason to book a boudoir session, book one simply because you are beautiful and you deserve to have this amazing experience!!!!

Debbie has the "it" factor, as a person and professional photographer. She's welcoming and her personality alone puts you at ease. I love her approach, from planning the session to your actual shoot. She empowers you and brings out your confidence and inner beauty. Debbie provides the perfect combination of direction and freedom to act out your ideas - it's fantastic! I would highly recommend working with her for any shoot but especially one as personal as boudoir.
