San Francisco Bay Area Boudoir Experience Testimonials

"My experience with Heather was absolutely fantastic! She and her hair and makeup artist immediately made me feel at ease, relaxed and cared for. It's so rare with my busy lifestyle to genuinely feel like I'm being taken care of, and don't have to worry about any details.

I did my boudoir session when I was planning my wedding. It was one of the few things that made me actually feel beautiful amidst the stress and business of all the planning. The photos were perfect for giving to my husband a beautiful, sexy, but still classy gift.

I was so pleased with how all the photos turned out, and they actually made me feel beautiful for the first time in a very long while. As someone who struggles a lot with self-confidence and being hypercritical of myself, this is a considerable achievement. I loved the wardrobe choices, the set and softness of the natural lighting, and how they all came together to make something that looks like me, but BETTER. Her editing is entirely undetectable and doesn't make you look like an airbrushed, plastic person who doesn't look like you. She has truly mastered photography and the right balance of editing to give you the most perfect photos possible while still looking like YOU. I 100% recommend her boudoir sessions. I have also had the pleasure of working with Heather for our engagement and wedding photos since we enjoyed working with her so much! She does incredible work, is a master at her craft, and is a great person, and a genuine pleasure to be around."

"Going into my boudoir shoot with Heather, I was racking up every nerve in my body. I had this image of who I could transform myself into by the time our session came around, which hadn’t come to life by that time. I was down on myself and dreading the shoot. Right off the bat Heather’s words of advice, and knowing her experience from being both behind the camera and in front of, gave me this sense of ease. Her confidence in herself inspired me to become confident. And with one sassy pep talk later, I was learning how to pose in favorable positions, laughing at her funny jokes and rediscovering my own self-confidence."

"Working with Heather was absolutely amazing! She was kind, sweet, funny. She made the entire experience feel totally normal and not overwhelming or scary at all. It was totally natural to shoot boudoir, even though that's something I haven't done before. She clearly knows exactly what she's doing to make you feel sexy."

"I love Heather! We have done three photo shoots over the last three or four years. I have had a lovely experience and came away with fun and gorgeous photos every time.

Originally, my biggest fear was probably that certain parts of my body would not look good in the photos. Everything turned out really nice, though. I couldn’t be happier! It was really comfortable, fun, and somehow very freeing. Heather is great at putting you at ease. I would say that it was definitely an enriching experience, even though it was scary, it was a lot of fun. Heather did a wonderful job at taking beautiful pictures and taking care of me, her client in what could be a very uncomfortable situation. She made it easy!

She is not only creative and talented, but also very comforting, warm and really easy to be around. I can't recommend her enough!"

"Heather, when girls come in and show their best selves to you. Their most Vulnerable and comfortable selves, you've successfully skipped months of work and dates most people would need to get that comfortable. Especially with women who are so insecure with themselves. You showed your light to me, embraced me, and I felt so effortlessly comfortable showing you my shine. And I see that in all your pictures. You are incredible. You really are."

"I had the absolute best experience with Heather's boudoir photography. Everything was so much fun -- starting with getting hair and makeup done while casually chatting helped me settle into the environment and get any nervous energy out. Heather truly felt like a trusted friend. She showed up so authentically herself (goofy, kind, and uplifting) that it helped me let loose and be my authentic self as well. With her multitude of skills (breath work, positive self talk, and magical light worker with her camera), I was able to really get into my body and let my face and body language relax into my sensual side. I felt so beautiful and sexy with Heather's guidance -- even though I couldn't see how all the photos looked at the time, I just felt a deep sense of trust that we were getting some really badass shots.

Now that I've seen the full gallery, I'm completely blown away by how much I love all the photos (I purchased the full digital collection -- they were so incredible)."

"From the initial phone call, to the shoot, to the delivery of photos, she was a consummate professional.

I can't overstate how important it is to have a someone that is skilled at both the artistic and emotional dimensions of this type of work. Heather has an incredibly creative eye for setting and light -- and also possesses the emotional touch to place you at ease and bring out the best of you so that the photos show your true joy and beauty. I was on set with her for over 6 hours and had fun the ENTIRE time -- genuine belly laughs! I couldn't be happier with both the experience and the end product -- and I will treasure these images forever."
