The Boudoir Loft

n between outfit changes which was nice. If you buy a package I recommend upgrading to the crystal leather book. It is the Cadillac of photo albums and is just beautiful. I cannot wait to get the finished product. If you have been wanting to get these done, look no further. I will definitely be back to see her and do another shoot. Sally is her hair and makeup artist and she is so friendly and bubbly and really good at making people look fabulous. I strongly recommend to pay the extra for hair and makeup.

g in October. I was nervous to do it, but one of my best friends suggested and even encouraged me to do it. They offered a deal on Groupon, but when I called I was told they actually had a deal a little better than the Groupon offer. 2 outfit changes, 4x6 hardcover book with 20 images (edited), and I honestly can't even remember what the price was now. It was reasonable I do remember that much. I was also given the option to purchase the raw (unedited) photos from the session for $99.00. There were alot of images, so I spent the extra money since there were pics I liked that my husband didn't pick as part of his 20. I did my own hair, but opted to have my makeup done there. It was an additional charge for both services (if I'm not mistaken) but worth it. I loved my makeup, but hated my lashes. They looked great in the photos though. In person they just kind of looked like wild little spider legs. They were the "piece" kind - not the strips. Sorry...not a makeup person so I don't know proper terminology. I was offered a Mimosa while getting my makeup done, which was GREAT since I was super nervous. Being in front of a bunch of strangers - in lingerie - is a little nerve racking! The Mimosa took the edge off a little. I wanna say the shoot was somewhere between 1 and 2 hrs long. They're were 2 photographers shooting at the same time. All the ladies there did a great job making me feel comfortable, and directing me through the poses. I'm not gonna pretend I wasn't a little uncomfortable - cause I was - but those ladies really were great. Throughout the shoot they would both show me some pics that they had got and I was definitely impressed. My favorite pics were the pinup ones they took, using various suitcases as props. I had brought a red plaid swimsuit from Pinup Girl Clothing with me and it went great - even though they were just suitcases. I loved those pics! I was told it would take 3-4 wks to receive my book once I submitted the 20 images I wanted to use. Well it actually ended up taking 2 months! I wasn't at all happy with the process and thought it was kind of scatterbrained, but once I reached out to the owner (Kim) I had a better understanding. I was happy I told her what was going on, and was able to get things resolved. The main problem was lack of communication - she wasn't even aware of the run around I was receiving from various people. The reason I took so long to write this review is because I just picked up my book last Friday. I had emailed one of the employees several times, but it never worked out. Either cause she didn't respond or I forgot to go pick it up. On my last email, I came to the assumption that maybe the lady I was emailing no longer worked there. So I forwarded the email to Kim and automatically got a response. Hooray! I drove out there to get my book, and was very happy with it. My husband was VERY happy with it as well. Would've been 5 stars had I not had such a long turn around on getting the book, but gave it more than 3 stars cause I really sympathized with Kim. She's great and so is her work. Ladies - consider this for your man if you wanna do something special that will really wow him. Trust me.

e decor at the Ferndale location was absolutely beautiful and I am so happy that I chose Kim to take my photographs. I waited a very long time to do this, and couldn't be more pleased with my choice for a photographer. I seriously considered cancelling before my appointment (due to my nerves), only to find out upon arriving for my appointment that Kim's professionalism and easy going personality made my whole experience amazingly comfortable and fun. My advice if you are thinking about doing this: "Don't wait!" My only regret: I wish I would have found Kim sooner. Thank you (Kim)Boudior Loft!! Can't wait to see my husband's face when he opens his Anniversary gift.

sat with me while I was getting hair and makeup done by her awesome staff. We talked just like we were friends. Her casual conversation really helped relax me. When hair and makeup was done (which turned out beautiful!) I was taken into the photography room. It was very private and a comfortable setting. Beautiful! Once in my first outfit the nerves crept up again, but with Kim's direction I felt like a pro. She showed me the pictures as we went which helped me realize that I was doing pretty good. Kim is very quick and does beautiful work. I was pleasantly surprised to see my unedited proofs in my inbox the next morning. It was exciting to see them so soon. I can't wait to see the finished product and see the look on my fiance's face! It was such an exilerating experience! Every woman should do it at least once. It was such a self esteem booster!
