deBoudoir

An amazing experience with Deboudoir from start to finish! I purchased an Amazon Local package, read the small print, and well frankly didn’t expect much.
The website thoroughly answers questions you may have. If you can’t find the answer you can email them. They may be a bit delayed in getting back to you, but they eventually will.
The Santa Ana studio was among other small businesses. You really don’t even know its there. (No sign, just address). It was a cool loft like place with the second level being the place where you can have your hair and makeup done. Kim did mine for me. She did exactly what I asked and managed to make me look pretty fabulous! The third level of lthe loft was where Cassia took my photos. She was sweet and made me feel comfortable. She clearly knew what she was doing when she asked me to move and pose. Purposeful is a good word to describe her. She let me peek at one or two of my pics. I knew I was in for a treat. 10 minutes ago I viewed my photos and was speechless. I think this is something every woman should do at some point in their life. Truly liberating! Can’t wait to do it again!
Thank you for your patience Chelsea! You guys do such great work its hard to decide which pics to get!

This was such a great experience and I’m very happy that I decided to do it. I found them through Living Social and I think that the voucher was very clear in what was included, and the staff also clarified everything prior to my coming in. I was extremely nervous at first, but the staff did a great job of putting me at ease and helping me to feel comfortable and sexy. I loved my hair and makeup and the final pictures were extremely gorgeous. The hardest part of this experience was deciding which pictures to choose from as they all looked amazing. I would definitely recommend it.

MOST EMPOWERING EXPERIENCE EVER! Every woman needs to do a boudoir photo shoot at least once in their life and why not do it with the most amazing studio?! I am so not the type to take selfies or photos of just myself, every one of my Facebook photos is me with my friends or at least one other person so, needless to say, a boudoir photo shoot isn’t something that I had planned on doing. 2013 was a hard year for me, first real year single and dealing with all the young adult struggles you can imagine. I saw the Living Social deal for a session with them and jumped on it. Throughout the year, I picked myself up, ran two half marathons, got my inner peace and self-​confidence back on my own doing (How Stella Got Her Groove Back status) and decided to do this to feel SEXY FOR MYSELF. First of all, the studio is sooo girly with sexy décor you’ll feel like a queen just walking through the door. The makeup artist is amazing and she really makes you feel comfortable listening to the look you want. Like the previous reviewer says, Kimber the photographer is beyond amazing! She makes you feel comfortable, sexy, fun and flirty throughout the entire shoot. I really liked that she went out of her way to listen to how I wanted my personality to come out in the pictures with more of a Victoria Secret than Fredericks kinda look. I purchased my photos a few days later and like anything else in this life, «you get what you pay for». This studio is the REAL DEAL! These women are top professionals and if you are looking for a quality investment of the photos then this is the studio for you! I can’t wait to send an ex some of the photos for V-Day…great little reminder what he’s missing out on ;)
Will definitely do another shoot next year!

A few months ago, my husband came across the Groupon deal and decided to surprise me. I had been talking about having a boudoir shoot done for a while but I had never really looked into it, so we jumped at the chance when we saw how affordable it was going to be. Keep in mind, the Groupon deal only covers the cost of the shoot, it doesn’t include the cost of the photos, but that information is clearly disclosed when you read the terms of the deal.
I arrived at DeBoudoir the day of my shoot with a bag of outfits and accessories for the day ahead. The staff assisted me with my bags and helped me decide which items to wear, including items from their vast selection of lingerie, props and accessories, which are available for purchase in case you forget to bring something. The studio is extremely secure and private, and they do not allow friends to accompany you to the shoot.
For this shoot, I opted to pay for the additional cost of hair and make-​up, which was expertly done by Tymree. She made me feel like a supermodel as I sat in a robe while she pampered me. I also decided to pay for the application of eyelashes for the shoot which turned out to be a good decision after I saw the finished photos.
My photographer’s name was Kimber. She was professional, funny, and very complimentary, which immediately put me at ease. Posing in lingerie for someone with a camera isn’t exactly the easiest thing for me, but Kimber’s outgoing personality made the experience a lot of fun. At no time during the shoot did I feel rushed or uncomfortable. Kimber did a spectacular job of making me feel sexy and confident, and always made sure that I was comfortable. During the shoot, we changed outfits several times, and shot photos in different rooms with different scenes. Overall, I had a blast.
When it came time to see the finished pics a couple weeks later, I was met by Crystal who was extremely helpful and friendly. I chose to purchase seven pictures. Crystal was patient while I repeatedly looked over the finished shots, and she even helped me select a couple when I was having difficulty deciding between a few that I liked. Overall, this experience was a lot of fun and my husband loves the pics. I have already recommended DeBoudoir to my friends, and I look forward to having another shoot in the future.

So fun! Everyone should do this at least once. Great service and beautiful pictures. They do magic! Love this place.

Best girlie moment ever!
I arrived at De Boudoir really nervous but Timree & Kimber were so sweet & welcoming that it helped me to relax. They offered me a glass of wine & we got started.
The boutique is adorable they have several outfits to choose from, even a pair of Christian Louboutin heels to rent! My groupon included a corset which I got to keep. Love it!
Timree arranged all of my outfits on hangers and organized them on a rack for me. Kimber was my photographer. She did a great job at modeling poses for me to replicate. You can tell she loves her job! She was super excited & keep things light & upbeat. She constantly reassured me… this was my first time doing a shoot like this so I had no idea what I was doing! We shot over 400 photos. Success!
The team at De Boudoir fully edited my photos and 4 days later I ended up with 120 to choose from. I stretched my budget & ended up purchasing 12 quality digital images. There were so many good shots to choose from that it was hard to narrow it down. They did a great job at helping me choose the best ones.
I will have these photos forever & I know my boyfriend will love his Christmas gift. This is an experience every girl should have! If I decided to do this again I would definitely choose De Boudoir!

The experience was wonderful!!! First time doing this sort of thing and have always wanted to do this. The ladies made me feel sooo comfortable and the direction from the photographer was great. From the moment I walked in the ladies were awesome! I love the way the pictures transformed me from boring to a sex goddess!

So I’m preggo and I was searching everywhere for the perfect gift to give my husband and then it hit me — sexy boudoir photos of me and the belly. After searching everywhere online I came across deBoudoir photography studio and I thought it was the most professional looking place so I booked an appointment (before I chickened out). When I arrived at the studio, I was greeted by the nicest consultant who talked to me about what I wanted from my photographs. It was great! She even went through my outfits and gave me some good tips about what to pair with what. After meeting the photographer I knew I picked the best place to have my maternity pictures taken. I must admit that I’m not a sexual person and am often described as conservative with regard to my ‘style’. These ladies made me feel super comfortable and after viewing my pictures I know I made the best choice. My husband is going to love these images and best yet, they look really artsy and not pornographic (which is HUGE in my opinion). I would def recommend this place for anyone considering taking pictures for any milestone in their life or just to experience this for themselves. Thanks again to the entire team at deBoudoir!

I have done boudoir photo shoot in Miami twice every 5 – 8 years and was in search of a place in southern CA since I moved here last year that would hopefully compare to the place I went to in Miami. After several reviews of other places I choose deBoudoir in Santa Ana from reviews and quality of their pictures on their website.
It is an all female staff so it is a very comfortable situation. I paid a little extra to get my hair and make up done. Just be prepared to tell the makeup artist exactly what you are looking for and bring pics if that helps. They helped me pick out which outfits I should wear and what shoes/​jewelry would look best which was helpful.
48 hours after my shoot I met with Crystal who went through all the high quality photos with me and I went through my selection of which pics I wanted. She even helped me pick which ones that I was undecided on.
I was happy with the experience felt very comfortable and had fun! I would highly recommend deBoudoir. I will be doing it again next year.

I had a similar experience as did many of the other reviewers. I came across the groupon that pretty much covered the sitting fee. I did it for my bf as a surprise Christmas gift. I generally hate photos of myself as am very unphotogenic, and had many trepidations about posing in lingerie. I picked four somewhat modest outfits, and figured, what the hell, and went for it.
That being said, I had Brooke do my hair and makeup. I am horrid at doing both. She even threw on some eyelashes. I looked pretty hot!
Kassia the photographer helped organize my outfits and go through what I should wear and in what order. The photo shoot was actually a blast! I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all posing, let alone prancing about in my undies. Kassia took her time taking the pics putting me in different poses in my different outfits. I have to say as fun as it was, I was very scared to see the finished product as I have not bothered with the gym in, let’s just say, a while…
I came back today, several days after the shoot so view the proofs. INCREDIBLY AMAZING! Between Brooke, Kassia and all else involved, I looked incredible! Phtotshop is my friend! And Krysal was very patient and helpful going through all (over 100) proofs with me. I told her that I did not have a lot of money to spend, and while I would have probably kept about 99% of the pics, there was no way I could afford to do so. She helped me pic out the pics I was going to keep (and yes, pics as in the plural. I was just going to get just the one for my BF as a gift, but loved them so much I even got one for myself — and again, usually HATE HATE HATE pics of myself. It was all in all a great experience.
Oh and one more plus — you get to keep the copyrights of the proofs. Unfortunately, the proofs are destroyed within 24 hours, so choose wisely. But you get to take home the actual image, not just a print. So you can print and reprint it as many times and sizes as you want.
Don’t hesitate ladies! How many times do you do a lingerie photoshoot? So when you do it, you gotta do it right! Just note that the Goupon just covers the sitting fee. It actually does say that on the Groupon. The actual images are pricey but again, you are the sole owner of that image.

If you are buying the Living social or Groupon promotion beware, they will charge you $ 159 just for ONE photo. They will NOT provide ANY photos with your online purchase and you have to pay extra after. I wish this was disclosed so I did not have to drive there and waste my time.
Answer to owner: It will be good to know that BEFORE purchasing it not AFTER with a link and fine lines…

Fun experience and fabulous photos. It is high end pricing but well worth it for your special someone or even just so you can have spectacular shots expressing your sensuality and femininity. Kimbra was a fun photographer to work with with amazing energy. I brought all my own outfits and knew exactly what I wanted. If you don’t have anything, don’t worry because they have a selection their you can purchase from as well.

The ladies at DeBoudoir are AMAZING! They all made me feel very comfortable. Brooke did my hair and makeup and was very good, she even offered to change my lip color after my first outfit change because it would look better with my remaining outfits. Kimber was my photographer and she made me feel very confident and was such a burst of energy. She made my shoot so fun! She directed me to do all of the awkward yet sexy poses, which ended up turning out fabulous on camera. I met with Crystal to go over my pictures, she was very nice and helped me pick my faves without feeling pressured to purchase a package. Over all I had a great experience! I would highly recommend DeBoudoir!

I absolutely loved my photos! Everyone on staff are females and very professional. I was pretty nervous taking sexy photos, but they make u feel right at ease and encourage you to be comfortable in your own skin. My photographer was amazing, and positioned me so best «assets» were highlighted. I’m recommending this place to all my girlfriends. They will make you look and feel beautiful!

I had the most amazing experience at deBoudoir. The photographer, Sky was so professional and encouraging, and she made me feel so comfortable. The make up artist, Brooke was fantastic! Crystal helped me choose my photos and made it such a painless experience. I would recommend this experience to every woman out there!

I have always wanted to do a boudoir photo shoot and when I saw the living social deal for deBoudoir, I knew I had to go for it! I’m so glad I did!
I showed up for my appointment really nervous but Brooke quickly made me feel at ease. She was really sweet and easy to talk to. I had her do my hair and makeup and I looked amazing! She even got my normally stick straight hair to curl. After making me look beautiful, she helped me pick out what outfits I should wear and got me ready to go.
The photographer Sky took time to plan out the outfit order with me and asked what I wanted to emphasize and what I was uncomfortable with for my photos. I felt really comfortable with her right away and got dressed for the photo shoot. Sky was awesome and demonstrated poses and explained everything. I felt confident and beautiful throughout the shoot. She was fun to talk to and joke around with. She made the whole experience easy and enjoyable for me and the time flew by!
I met with Crystal a few days later to review my photos and I was genuinely surprised by how awesome they turned out! Both Brooke and Sky did an amazing job! Crystal was really helpful and helped me pick out some images to purchase. She was super friendly and meeting with her was a great ending to my whole boudoir photo shoot experience.
I highly recommend deBoudoir. The staff is great and your pictures will be beautiful. You won’t regret it.

Such a great experience. I did a photoshoot for maternity pictures. They made me feel so comfortable and beautiful which is hard at this stage to feel. All the employees were so kind and helpful. I ended up buying more pictures than I thought. They turned out so nice.

I had an absolute BLAST working with Sky the photographer and Brooke the makeup artist. It seemed like we were hanging out as old friends, I wish I could do these shoots more often! I’m 22 and I want my future husband to have some cool photos of me, so I can be like, «Look what I did back then!» Now’s the best time to get the photos done, not when I’m older (although anytime is a good time at DeBoudoir, you will have a blast no matter what!).

OK, ladies, if you are like me, you don’t mind being sexy for your man at home, but in front of a camera!!! I didn’t think I would ever have professional pictures of me taken with lingerie on, but my love has hinted about it on a couple of occasions, so when a LivingSocial deal came across my path, I decided there is no time like the present and I snatched up the deal, booked my photo shoot, and didn’t look back.
Now, I was apprehensive about this photo shoot. The great thing about de Boudoir is that they have a female only staff. After I committed to doing a boudoir photo shoot, I did some comparison shopping. It was at that point, I was happy I decided to go here. There are other boudoir photographers in OC, but I don’t think I would have felt comfortable posing in front of a male photographer. So, let me tell you about the photographer. Sky was amazing. She made me feel relaxed in no time. She was sweet, friendly, and really made me feel confident during the photo shoot. I can’t say enough good things about her.
I also had them do my hair. They also offer to do makeup (additional fee), but for that I did my own. The girl who did my hair was fabulous. My crazy hair came out beautiful.
So, I walked into the studio apprehensive and doubtful that I would remotely enjoy the experience. The things we do for the one we love! By the time I was driving home, I was reflecting that even without one photo, the experience was so worth it. I left feeling sexy, confident, and so pleased that my man had dropped those hints over the past few years!
But, I am sure you ladies want to know about the finished product. Well worth it! If you are on here and seriously considering deBoudoir, I am sure you will peruse their website. Yes, the photo packages are not cheap, but remember you get what you pay for! I just came back from looking at all my touched up photos and picking the ones I want to keep. They were gorgeous! It was not easy to pick, but I stuck with my plan and chose 12 of my favorites. After all, this is a present for my honey, and I thought it would be fun for his 2014 calendar to be a year full of pictures of me!
They do have a package where you can keep all of the photos. I was tempted, but to be honest, I think I will be doing this again in the future, so I stuck with my plan for 12 pictures… This time.

At first I was really apprehensive about doingnsomething so «bold» but Sky made it so fun! The location was super convenient, private and the photographer made my experience a great one. I’d also recommend getting hair and makeup done by the team there because they are experts when it comes to what would look good for the shoot.
If anyone is thinking about doing this for your husband or boyfriend or partner, I would absolutely recommend deBoudoir!!!
