CLIENT RAVES

Curious about working with a Michigan boudoir photographer? Here’s what past clients have to say about their sessions at Black Dress Boudoir.

“I had so much fun! I’m very awkward when it comes to posing, but Ashley helped me figure out how to move my body. I was really nervous about how my body would look, especially after just having a baby. But as the session went on, I felt more confident and comfortable. I think everyone should do a boudoir session—it puts you in a feel-good mood. #badbitch. I loved the body positivity Ashley brings—it made me feel more comfortable and ready to embrace my old self. Confidence booster for sure.”
— Miss. E

“I’ve always had fears when it comes to my body, but I decided to take the leap because I wanted to feel more confident. Before my session I felt ready for it, and on the day of the session I was excited to see how they would turn out. This was our first couples session, so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I was surprised by how the photos turned out. My advice to other women is to give it a try because it brings out your confidence in your body, and things did kind of change in the way I see myself. I’d suggest booking with Black Dress Boudoir because Ashley is a great photographer and finds the perfect angle to make everyone feel good about themselves. And for anyone who thinks they’re too shy or nervous: I was shy and nervous at first, too, but I was able to feel comfortable”
— Miss. A

“My experience was great! I loved every minute of it!!! Prior to my session I was scared of being nervous and not being comfortable. Now that I’ve completed my session though I feel like a queen!!!!! I would 100% yes recommend a boudoir session to someone else!!!!! My favorite part was having a photographer who cheers you on and hypes you up!!!”
— Miss. M

“I was super insecure about doing the photos due to my age and weight. Ashley made me feel comfortable and relaxed. It was an awesome experience and I plan on doing another session soon!”

— Miss. H

“I am so much more confident in my body now since my session. My favorite part of the entire experience was getting my products. When I first saw my images. I wanted to cry but was too excited. My final products that I received are AMAZING! My session 100% changed the way I see my own beauty. The only thing I would do differently at my next session is choose more scandalous or over-the-top outfits”

— Miss. M

“Incredibly comfortable environment, Ashley made me feel beautiful and comfortable. The set and outfits were awesome and there was so much to choose from that I was able to create an aesthetic that felt authentic to me. I couldn’t recommend this experience more!”

— Miss. T

“I feel stronger and more confident. I felt good before, but there is a sense of validation now. My favorite part was just getting to focus on myself and getting to do something to commemorate a huge point in my life. When I first saw my images, I was in awe! The final products are beautiful — my husband loved them too, but for myself, it is such a beautiful and special keepsake I plan to hold on to for the rest of my life. Some things I was self-conscious about have definitely lessened, and I see my beauty differently now.”

— Miss. A

“I was nervous about doing the shoot, but by the time my hair and make-up was done, I felt beautiful and couldn’t wait to capture it. Ashley is great and made it very easy and comfortable. I was apprehensive at first, but once things got started, I felt great! I’m so happy with the experience and can’t wait to see the finished product. It was well worth it! Although I haven’t seen the photos yet, I’m sure they captured the beauty I felt. I did this for my 15-year anniversary, and I’ll be surprising my husband. Ashley was very accommodating. I loved feeling pretty.”

— Miss. B

“The whole experience was 13/10. Def need to book again!”
— Miss. S

“I knew boudoir was sexy, sultry, confident lingerie photos, but I still had the typical body image doubts. I am working my way out of a dark personal trauma that left my self-esteem and body image shattered, and this was a step toward seeking a positive change.

Before my session I was a bit anxious, but even though I questioned the appearance of parts of my body, I embraced who I am. I even surprised myself — I went in opposed to nudity, yet I was relaxed enough to go there.

My advice to other women is this: the only opinion of you that matters is your own. This is a great way to honor your body. Ashley will make you feel at ease. You can be as risky as you choose and there is no pressure to go beyond your comfort level. However, when you get a glimpse of a shot or two, you see the beauty and your inhibitions disappear.

Everything was professional and discreetly done. What better way to experience self-love?”

— Miss. T

“OMG, my images are amazing!!”
— Miss. A

“Since my session I’ve been feeling more confident about myself. My favorite part was the makeup/hair and choosing the different lingerie! When I first saw my images, I was surprised — in a good way — like I’ve never seen myself from that point of view! The final products were beautiful and professional. It even changed the way I see my own beauty a little bit, yeah!”

— Miss. J
