| - I purchased a boudoir shoot from Groupon for the 2-Hour session. It was easy to book the appointment and all the details you need are on the website as for what to expect (somewhat). I've never done any type of professional photography shoot before, so I thought this was a great deal to try something new out. I brought a few outfits but ended up using some of the items in their fantasy closet (a corset, shoes, and jewelry). Upon arriving, I was greeted by Erica (the makeup artist/hair stylist). She is very friendly and did a great job turning me into a glamorous woman with the look I wanted. Just a note that she also provides makeup classes, which is on my list to do next. After makeup and hair, you meet with another great gal (which I'm so mad I forgot her name). But the fashion girl will help you pick out your outfits as well as coach you through the photo shoot.
The entire process for getting ready eats up the majority of time you are there because when the photo shoot happens, it goes by super fast. So in two hours, I would say I spent 1.5 hours getting ready, and 1/2 hour doing the photo shoot. Out of almost 200 photos, I only liked a few. It wasn't Roxan's fault (the photographer), because she did a great job on the angles, lighting, etc. I was just so nervous and uptight as well as at a loss of how to pose or what to do with my facial expressions. So if you're super new to this, like I was, I would suggest you bring a flask or take a few shots of something beforehand and have someone drive you there. You'll have a much better time and you'll probably let loose. I definitely plan on coming back for a second round of pictures before the year is up. These ladies are wonderful!
