I’ve never felt more empowered and beautiful in my own skin. The team at Your Hollywood Portrait is beyond professional and made me feel completely at ease from the moment I walked...
in. The studio is STUNNING and the photos… wow. I cried (happy tears) when I saw them. This is more than just a photoshoot—it’s an experience every woman should gift herself.
The whole experience, from the emails leading up to the shoot, to the
shoot itself, and after with my photo reveal, was exceptional
Raya really grasped what I was wanting out o...
f my shoot, and delivered
above and beyond what I expected!
While it might start off as the perfect git for your significant other,
boudoir photos are also important to do for yourself. I cannot recommend
Raya enough for this experience!
I definitely recommend a boudoir experience for any woman. I was shocked at how empowering it was. Of course, it needs to be with the right photographer, and you can’t go wrong by ...
choosing Raya and her team.
Raya is talented, patient and she really helps you forget yourself and just get into the session. I am so glad I did this for myself and I’m very excited to give these photos to my fiancé!
Let me first say that Raya ROCKS and I hope to have chance to have her photograph me again.
She is not just creating beautiful photo, but creating ART. I had an absolute ball du...
ring the shoot, much more than I anticipated.
Raya’s camera is directly connected to a large monitor, so you can really see the photos as the shoot progresses, much better than on a small camera screen. And the photos turned out stunning even before she did touch ups.
She totally deserves more than 5 stars!!!
Raya is simply amazing!
She walked me through the process, showed me which poses would work, and was patient and encouraging when I struggled with trying to emulate supermodel-...
ness.
When I looked at her portfolio, I realized she actually shot campaigns for well known lingerie brands! Even if I look nothing like the models I saw in these campaigns, my photos are simply beautiful! And the fact that she is French probably helps her have an amazing eye for what looks chic and classy.
I think I wrote that already but she is indeed a true artist and for the talent, the prices are a steal!
What happens when you go to an Uber-Talented photographer, who has a top notch equipment (lots of lighting, backdrops…) and knows how to use them well, awesome props (vintage couch...
, Victoria¹s Secrets wings…), a great makeup artist and hair stylist?
THE most spectacular photos you've ever had!
Raya is really kind and very artistic and I think she keeps people around her who are also kind and fun. This helps a lot to relax and be confident during the photo shoot. I did no...
t feel judged at all.
Raya is really a great photographer, so take her advices and her suggestions. She was also willing to try whatever I had in mind (for me it did not look as good as what she suggested :-)
I don't look like a model in real life, but she made me look like one! So as you can image, I am really happy I chose her studio.
Raya was awesome to work with!
The whole team was very warm and made me feel comfortable.
We first discussed what hair style and makeup would work for the shoot,
then I got...
to be pampered and made beautiful by Katie and Bre.
Raya helped me decide on the styling, then she adjusted carefully the
different lights (she is really, really good at sculpting the light to
make you look amazing) and she guided me for the first pose on the
victorian couch. With her guidance, the music, I slowly got in the mood.
Wee tried a lot of variations (outfits, backgrounds, poses) andŠI got to
look better than a playboy model for a day!!!
This was so fun and so empowering that I will most likely do it again, and
definitely with Raya!
I had a blast during my boudoir photo shoot with Raya.
She is an true artist and know how to create the perfect image.
I was thinking of doing a boudoir shoot for a long time, ...
and did quite a lot of research (I was not ready to walk in lingerie in front of just anyone!). I'm so glad I chose Raya.
She showed my a few peek of the photos on the large Mac screen during the shoot and...Damn! I do look hot :-)
The photos were Beyond what I expected.
Obviously Raya's experience is a big part in making the whole shoot so tasteful and yet so sexy!
I wanted to offer a boudoir book to my now husband (I did not have the chance to do it for the wedding). I searched for a photographer who had a lot of studio experience (my weddin...
g photographer was great, he captured amazing moments, but I wanted someone who could guide me in a studio).
I am so glad I found Raya. She is Super talented. I had a great time. She gave directions to her hair stylist and her makeup artist, guided me patiently, adjusted the lighting regularly.
The result is an Awesome boudoir book, really high end with super photos of little me!
I really loved my experience with Raya with Raya and her team!
I was quite stressed when I arrived but she put me at ease, explained what would the shoot entailed.
The result was...
far beyond my expectations!!!
I did not know I could look this good :-)
I looked at various options and I think Raya is the most talented and still very affordable
I was actually looking for a boudoir photographer on Yelp (found my wedding photographer on TheKnot of course!)
Her work was, from my point of view, much more sophisticated and re...
fined compared to other portfolio I was seeing. So I booked a shoot and I'm definitely glad I did!
Raya knew how to direct me (I'm not a professional model...far from it!) and created these sophisticated lighting to give an editorial feel to the photos.
The result were
Some amazing photos and book
A speechless husband who was ecstatic with his gift
A boost of confidence for me!
Raya and her team were professional and really sweet so I really enjoyed this experience fully!
I think my book was by far my husband favorite gift :-)
