True You Boudoir

I recently purchased a groupon deal for this photography studio thinking that it was just that...a deal...I have yet to even have the services completed and I've found that I've already spent $300+ ...not to mention the actual photo purchase packages seem ridiculously pricedAlthough Leila seems friendly and her work showcased online seems to be legit, I've been kind of disappointed with the delayed communication in regards to booking a session time and answering my questions, however, I am still excited to go through with the shoot and I hope that it's all worth it.(will update review after upcoming shoot----------------------------------------------------------)Semi-Update: ...As the frustrations continue, it looks as though I will not be continuing with this photo shoot making my groupon and mua service purchases a complete loss...Although this photographer didn't work out for me, mainly due to the $250-$2,000.00 print prices, if you're looking to spend that much money....she may work for you.

I wanted to write an update and mention that when I got home from a trip overseas my photobook was delivered the next day (as arranged with Leila through email) on the 6th of September. I ordered some 5x7 and 8x10 prints as well and they were also delivered with the photo book.My photobook is absolutely beautiful. The pearlized finish on the photographs is to die for and the leather cover of my book is fantastic - I even like the smell. I got a brown antique leather cover on the book (after much agonizing over which cover to get) and Leila was great - she sent me electronic images of what my covers would look like and answered the 300 million questions I bombarded her with regarding the shape of the edges of the pages, the background of the pages, etc. etc. (I am a stickler for the details).Though I have spent LOADS of money on this entire experience I feel that sometimes a gal has to do something that is only for herself (I did NOT do this for my husband or anyone but myself nothing wrong with those of you who do) and I am pleased with it.Every now and then when I'm having a bad day I go look at those photos and I feel like a million bucks and it makes my day a little better.Totally worth every penny!

I went in after having a child two months before. After my shoot I now have a confidence I didn't have. I do my make up and hair every day. Which I didn't do even before I was pregnant. I love how I felt during and after my shoot. Here I am almost a month after and I still love my body like I never have before! If you are thinking about doing this then this company is who you want to do it with!!

Amazing experience and gorgeous results!Leila is a truly awesome photographer and genuinely kind person. She put me at ease right away. Markia, the hair and make up wizard, had me looking flawless.Leila was dedicated to getting the most out of my session with her. She talked to me about my vision and what I was comfortable with. I felt safe and beautiful while being photographed.I could go and on forever about how wonderful my experience with Leila was. The quality of work she delivers is work every cent. These images are something beautiful I will treasure foreverAnd my husband loved them I would recommend her to anyone looking to do boudoir

Wonderful lady to work with. She is very professional and she loves her work. I absolutely love the camera angles that she uses and have been overjoyed with my photos both times that we have shot so far. She brings out all the best features that we ladies have to offer. I'm a bigger gal and she made me feel like a supermodel both times. I highly recommend going for the make-up and hair package. It's definitely worth the extra money and hey you feel like a movie star during the hole process and leave looking like one too.The quality of the photos is great and I love both my albums. I can't saw enough about her to all of my girlfriends that are contemplating doing these type of photos.

Leila is such an artist when it comes to taking pictures; I love her use of natural lighting! I purchased a photo album that came with 10 prints, and though some may see it as pricey, I thought it was worth the money. It's been 10 years since I've had my senior pictures taken in high school and I know my parents spent a comparable amount on that, and I LOVE these SOOO much more.I bought the groupon deal, which saved money with the initial cost of the shoot itself, but also gave me a credit toward my beautiful album. I used this opportunity to have boudoir pictures taken while I'm pregnant. I love my body while pregnant and Leila did an AMAZING job of giving me exactly the poses I wanted, and had great ideas for other poses. She and her makeup artist (who also did a FANTASTIC job) were so helpful in achieving the looks I wanted, and they did whatever they could to make sure the session was comfortable and fun. Leila provided me with quality, tasteful pictures that will last forever. Leila's boudoir photos are WELL WORTH the money. I'm already wanting to have another session done! (post-baby)

I had an absolutely amazing experience, and it was so much better than I had originally anticipated. So good, in fact, that I really want to do another session this fall!

Leila was a dream to work with and she knows to how pose you so the images turn out amazing! I am in love with all my images - so in love it took me forever to figure out which ones to get! Thank you Leila!

I hate having my picture taken. Period. Having my photo shoot with Leila was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I felt so beautiful. It was a surprise for my husband and when we went to the photo reveal he was blown away. He bought almost all of them!

I was AMAZED with my photos and I still am to this day. I have never felt so beautiful or alive. The perfect gift for my husband's deployment. I felt comfortable and a confidence I never have before. 10/10 would do again! Thank you for making me realize my true beauty and never forgetting it!
