Eric and Julie are AMAZING! From start to finish, they provided me with step by step instruction to ensure that I had all the information I needed to have a comfortable and seamless experience. The day of the photoshoot was everything I could have hoped for. The detail and effort put in to my hair and makeup and each background chosen for each outfit was incredible. My outfits were paired with heels and placed in the dressing room and ready for me for the next set. There was no guesswork or time where I didn’t know what was next. Everything was carefully thought out and intentional.The picture reveal day was just as incredible. Eric took as much time as we needed to go through and choose each image to stay within our price range. He has this entire process down to a science and we couldn’t have been happier.I would 100% recommend a boudoir session with Eric and Julie. They know exactly what they are doing and make you feel comfortable through the entire process!

I was a little skeptical on doing this .I have never worn lingerie before other than my honeymoon. I'm a 54 year old woman and I've never imagined that I would do something like this. Boy am I glad I did. Eric and Julie are nothing but professionals. they made me feel right at home. Julie tells you how to pose and Eric does his magic with the camera. When I seen my photos I got teary eyed. who was that person in the photos? It really was me. I got to see myself from different angles that I never have before and I felt so beautiful for the first time in my life. I cant wait to give these to my husband for an Anniversary present. I highly recommend doing this ladies just for yourself. Its so empowering I cant even describe it.

I absolutely love these photographers.Being recently divorced and feeling down about myself and the way I look, they helped bring out my feminine side.All the photos I looked absolutely beautiful in. They really make you feel gorgeous.I would 100% recommend to anyone I know and will be doing another shoot in the future.

Ive wanted to schedule a session for about 2 years and have been too scared. I cant speak highly enough of my amazing experience with Studio E Boudoir. From the first phone conversation to the ease of choosing my final photos. For a day I was able to be ME. Not the wife or the mom or the employee, just myself. And they made me feel beautiful!

I began my journey with Studio E several years ago. I had always wanted to do a boudoir photo shoot but couldn’t commit due to being told I was good enough. I went on to do shoots with other photographers but just was not as happy as I wanted to be. Fast forward to this year and I once again replied to one of their ads. I finally scheduled my appointment and put the payment down. So now I’m committed because I wasn’t going to lose money lol. I get to the studio and Julie, Eric and Liz are waiting. This place is stunning!! Liz was amazing at capturing my inner beauty without a ton of makeup. Julie and Eric were phenomenal with the positioning from me to the props. Went back to view my photos and just could not leave a single one not being in my hands so I purchased EVERYTHING!! I love how Eric is willing to meet you where you are and make sure you are comfortable from answering the ad all the way to product purchase.

I have done a few boudoir shoots now and by far this is my favorite! Eric and Julie are a blast to work with. They will make you comfortable about everything from the start. I didn't know what to expect and they prepare you very well. I still over packed and brought funny items. I love the variety of items you can choose from to make your package. My pictures were phenomenal. I will be doing another shoot for sure. Trust the process and don't be scared. This is fun for every BODY.

After 10+ years of wanting to do a boudoir session and always talking myself out of it, I am so glad I found Studio E for my session. As a plus size, curvy woman, I was nervous about how the photos would be and how we could possibly “hide” my mid section. BUT Eric and Julie did an amazing job.From the minute I walked into the studio, they made me feel comfortable and confident. Liz did my professional hair and makeup and made me feel like a bombshell. Julie told me how to pose and Eric worked some serious magic with his angles and lighting. I got a couple glimpses on his camera and could not even believe that was me.The biggest part of this experience was how this photo shoot made me feel on this inside. I looked beautiful on the outside but the way I felt on the inside is an indescribable feeling. I felt like a strong, independent and empowered woman. I left my session and within a few minutes Shania was on the radio singing “I feel like a woman” I could not agree more.The day of my reveal I was excited and nervous. A dear friend came with me to see the photos. To say we were impressed is an understatement of the year. The way they captured me, beyond amazing. My friend booked her session on the spot.I cannot thank Eric and Julie enough for this incredible experience!

Be prepared for one of the most extraordinary experiences of your life! I had friends that had done boudoir shoots but I never felt comfortable enough in my own skin enough to take the leap.The team listened to my apprehensions and reassured me that this would be an ever-changing experience…AND IT WAS!!!!I had weight loss surgery, wanted to document my accomplishment but was extremely concerned about how the images would look based on the skin and body changes. My hair and makeup looked absolutely AMAZING (still trying to replicate it) and the actual session from the outfits to the poses flowed seamlessly.The most difficult part of this experience was the “Reveal.” There were so many absolutely breathtaking photos, my husband and I wanted ALL of them!!! It was so difficult to narrow them down. I was so excited once I saw all the images come together, I could not wait to share with family and friends!!! Do not hesitate, JUST DO IT, NOW!!!This is the absolute BEST team for this experience! THANK YOU, Eric and Julie, from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!!!

I scheduled with them and then ended up getting hurt at work. They worked with me in rescheduling in hopes that things would get better. Now after months I am being told I will probably need surgery. Unfortunately I just can't get the pictures done now. But they were so hopefully and encouraging. I really hope I will be back 100% and can reschedule with in the year. They have been so wonderful to me. Just book with them and give it a shot. Don't wait

From start to finish, the care, detail and support provided through my boudoir experience was better than I could have possibly requested! It was new to me, and I inquired with such nervousness. Within moments, the uneasy, unknown feelings vanished because both Eric and Julie answered every question before I had to ask. They shared final results to inspire my own ideas and clearly advised how to order flattering items to make me the most comfortable in my own skin. Upon arrival, they helped coordinate all the final details while I had hair and makeup done, and all I had to was follow instruction. They helped with positioning, angles, props, and everything. If you are on the fence considering something like this, DO IT. Most importantly for yourself. If you're like me and the first purpose might have been a gift in mind for a special someone, you will be pleasantly surprised with the feelings of self beauty you walk away with when you didn't even know that radiance was possible! I would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you Studio E Boudoir for creating an experience I will NEVER soon forget!

I normally do not take the time to review any businesses, but I had to make an exception for this. This was, hands down, one of the best experiences of my life! I had been thinking about doing a boudoir shoot for a couple of years, but always made an excuse not to do it. I am so very happy I finally followed through. I was completely unsure how things would go, but from start to finish, Eric and Julie were nothing short of extraordinary. They were completely open, honest, and professional. They took their time to answer and questions or concerns. They treated me like a Queen. My hair and makeup turned out beautifully! My session was not rushed at all. They made me feel like a lady, which definitely helped me relax. This experience has done wonders for my self esteem. Eric and Julie were amazing to work with. Eric explained every detail, he explained how I would feel, and he was absolutely correct. Although his description did not do it justice. I cannot say enough positive things about this. I would highly recommend them to anyone I know. If this is something you have wanted to do, please, do yourself a favor and book it!!! You will be blow away, just like I was. I am more than happy to go into further detail about my experience. If you would like to contact me directly, please feel free to reach out! Eric has my contact info.

Eric and Julie of Studio E Boudoir are an amazing team who make you feel comfortable from the very first interaction. They send out regular emails with tips and reminders of what you need and make it a very easy process leading up to your shoot. I was very nervous and they put me at ease very quickly. The images were spectacular, sensual and tasteful. I could not be more happy with the entire process.Schedule that boudoir shoot you have been thinking of doing. The first couple outfits I came out in I was rather terrified. However by the end of the shoot I was feeling pretty spectacular. The way we talk to ourselves when we look in the mirror needs to change, for a lot of us. This is a terrific way to feel amazing in your own skin. So ladies if you have been thinking about doing this you should do it. You won't regret it and Studio E Boudoir is spectacular.

I am so glad I chose Studio E for my boudoir session. As a plus size girl I was a little nervous about how the photos would come out. But Eric and Julie did an amazing job. It’s not just about taking a bunch of photos for them; they helped me feel comfortable and confident throughout the whole process. They truly made the experience one to remember, not only for myself but for my husband as well. I highly recommend Studio E for their professionalism, artistry, and overall passion for what they do.

Eric and Julie were amazing to work with. Very knowledgeable and they make you feel 100% comfortable. This was my first time doing anything like this and I would definitely do it again. They help and are there for you every step of the way. The pictures turned out better than I could have imagined and my husband loved them! It was a surprise gift for our 5 year wedding anniversary. This was definitely an experience I will never forget.

The only studio in the area to give a 5 star experience instead of just another photoshoot. Your privacy and comfort is top priority. Absolutely no judgement, this studio will go the extra mile to set their studio at a higher level than others. As being in the beauty industry I was skeptical just like anyone else feeling like there was no way I would feel beautiful. The experience was top notch and every little detail was thought of. Not only did I FEEL beautiful I came out of it sitting on top of the world.

My experience was absolutely AMAZING!! I haven’t felt so beautiful in a while and I needed that right now. So self reassuring. From the moment I walked through the door, my heart melted, I never felt so special just from the welcoming sign at the door. I never imagined the experience that I had. Sitting down with Eric, Julie and Liz was so inviting. They asked what I wanted versus forcing what they wanted. They made me feel totally comfortable. Liz was so amazing with my hair and makeup that I fell asleep in her chair, that’s how relaxed I was. Eric & Julie made this experience so easy and smooth sailing from their expertise in posing to having my outfits ready for each wardrobe change. They made me feel as if it was totally about me and me only. Thank you so much!!!
