We love repeat clients! Miss S. has shot with us before, right at the start the company! We were excited to show her how much we've grown in the two short years we've been open. It's really amazing what our passion and our clients support has created. We're so lucky to get to empower women for a career. Miss S. was gracious enough to let us share some of her killer images! We had so much fun with her dark and moody set. Check out how beautiful Miss S. is!
Miss A. heard about our studio in one our favorite ways. Her best friend had recently had a session done and couldn't wait to share what a great experience she had. When Miss A. saw her photos she knew she had to come and book a session herself. We loved having her in the studio. We've been working on so many new sets recently, and it's awesome we finally can share a taste of those with all of our readers. We've been having a blast on the boho inspired set, as well as our wintery inspired fur set. We adore all the photos we've been getting from our recent sessions. That's one of the best things about having your own dedicated boudoir space, the total creative control!
Miss S. came to us to schedule a session for herself. She's endured body image issues for a long time and thought that doing a boudoir shoot would be a step towards loving herself more, and we couldn't agree more! We were elated to help her on her self-image journey! Roar Boudoir believes in body positivity and practice it in all our photo shoots. We want your photos to look like you, and help you see that your body is beautiful just the way it is; Miss S. is no exception. She was so wonderful and easy to photograph! We are so pleased with the outcome of her shoot, and are even happier she's letting us share how beautiful they are with you!
We love it when we receive reviews on our facebook page. We strive to make your Roar Boudoir Experience everything you ever hoped it could be. To see validation that it was all that and more is the best present you could ever give a small business owner. Some of our clients don't use facebook and send us emails. We got a great one yesterday we wanted to share with you!
"I absolutely loved my boudoir experience. Anna and Paige were very professional while still being super fun! They met with me before the shoot to go over what I would need and to give me suggestions. In the weeks leading up to the shoot I would contact them for more suggestions and they always replied quickly. On the day of the shoot I was very nervous. The nervousness quickly went away when greeted by Anna, Paige, and Destiny. They were so cheerful throughout the whole shoot. Since I do not have long hair I brought a wig and Destiny was able to style it for me and let me say that she did an amazing job on my makeup. I've had my makeup done several times and she did best out of everyone. The shoot was great and I could tell that Paige and Anna loved what they do. I had 3 outfits of my own and they suggested one of their own. I left that day feeling beautiful. We met a little over a week later so I could see my finished pictures and they exceeded my expectations. The pictures looked so great that I couldn't stop looking at them. Paige and Anna are very talented. I would recommend Roar Boudoir to everyone. If you're reading this trying to decide whether or not you want to do a shoot with these wonderful ladies then please do it. You will not be disappointed and you will have so much fun!"
Recently we've been shooting little clips of some of our clients shoots and putting together short videos. While we don't claim to be the worlds best videographers, we think the end results are fun! They give others a peek into what our shoots our like. They also are awesome to watch with our clients at the photo reveal. Somehow in the span of an hour or two we can amass quite the impressive collection inside jokes. Really, just ask us about prune one day and we'll tell you!
Miss. D was so much fun to shoot! She wanted more of a glamour shoot, with hints of boudoir. We were more than happy to comply! Boudoir is whatever is sexiest to you, no matter what level on undress you stop at! Thank you Miss D. for letting us share these stunning images. We had so much fun at your shoot and are so pleased the photos wowed you!
We often get clients who are giving their boudoir photography to someone special as gift. Talk about the gift for the person who already has everything! While we love helping our clients pick products for that special someone we'd like to be quite clear that the session is for you.
The entire Roar Boudoir experience is geared to making you, our model, feel empowered and pampered. You are stunning, and we want to help you see that! If you choose to share your images with anyone else, that's just a bonus.
Roar Boudoir takes time to get to know our clients. We meet with you in person before your shoot to go over any concerns or questions you might have. We understand that it can be a little nerve wracking before your shoot, and we want to do anything we can to make your more comfortable. We get to know everything from your favorite part of your body, to your favorite cocktail, to what kind of music really makes you feel like a million bucks. Each session is catered to you!
Here's some quotes clients said in this previous weekend's marathon shoot that have really stuck with us.
"You know, I thought I was doing this for my husband, but I was really doing this for me. Thank you."
"I didn't realize I would like being called beautiful so much."
"This was so much easier than I thought it would be. You made me comfortable, beautiful, and sexy. I needed this."
We, as always, are overjoyed that our clients seem to really appreciate us. We appreciate them so much!
If you're interested in doing a session for yourself, we still have some appointment times left for our September 19th Marathon Date. We're offering a free 8x10 on this session, which is already an amazing deal! Contact us now to book - payment plans are available.
Here's another Roar Studio 201 shoot from this past weekend. We're absolutely loving the new space and the freedom it's giving us creatively!
Lexi was an absolute pleasure to work with! We're also obsessed with her hair! I mean how could you not be? Shooting with Lexi just felt like some girl time, which is one of my favorite types of shoots. There's seriously nothing better than being able to let your guard down and just have a blast on set. Thank you so much Lexi for letting us share your awesome shoot!
In her own words:
"The wonderful ladies at Roar Boudoir took all of the worry out of the experience! With help posing, encouragement throughout, and sneak peeks from the back of the camera, they had me completely comfortable which is tough to be in your undies! They are wonderful, professional, and completely welcoming. I am not the model body type by any means, and they had me looking and feeling like a supermodel. The photos I got back are breathtaking. I cannot thank Roar Boudoir enough for making me feel so beautiful!!!"
Thanks again for letting us share! You're beautiful!
Boudoir has gotten a something of a popularity boost this past year. We know it can be sometimes difficult to figure out who to hire when it comes to your boudoir photography session. So we decided to do a post on what makes us different, to help you find your perfect photographer.
Paige and Anna shoot every session together. While it's an unorthodox way of shooting- we love it! Our shooting and editing styles are different, you'll end up with more options at the end of your shoot. Creativity is fiercely personal, and even when shooting the exact same subject we end up with such different results! The side by side shots below are the same set and client, taken seconds apart!
You're getting double the photographer, viewpoints, and creativity for your money!
Boudoir demands a certain level of respect for privacy. We always make that our number one concern, and our studio supports that. Other photographers might only offer hotel, in home, or session in a rented space from another photographer. We occasionally love getting out of the studio as well, new space can bring new inspiration. We enjoy having shared rental spaces as one option, not our only one.
We offer a dedicated studio space to shoot, deliver images, and have client gatherings in! We are the only tenants of our studio space, and plan on keeping it that way. You'll never have someone showing up to your sessions due to scheduling complications.
Having a studio of our own also means we're able to curate what kinds of props, furniture, backdrops, and lighting we want in our sessions. We own everything we shoot with in our studio from our lights to our chaise lounges. More control in environment will lead to more beautiful photos for you!
After your shoot is complete we can deliver your images in studio, keeping your finished product for your eyes only. We're also available to meet you at our studio to discuss any concerns you might have in person. In fact, we host an open house on the last Friday of most months. Check out our events page if you'd like to stop by!
Some photographers have little to no contact with clients before their boudoir shoots. Some even charge for pre-shoot consultations. While that might work for them, it's not what we do. Boudoir is an, excuse my pun, very revealing albeit amazing experience. We want to know you, your story, and how boudoir is going to help you celebrate how wonderful your body is! We take time before our shoots to meet with almost all our clients in person or via Skype where distance is an issue. We talk about everything you'll need to know for your session, there are no surprises. We'll even be more than happy to help you find the best wardrobe for your shoot! Having a connection with your photographers is important. If you're anxious or stressed during your shoot, it might read that way in the photo. We want to do everything we can to make sure you are comfortable and enjoy your session.
Because we shoot with two photographers, you get double the support, especially during your session. Clients have told us many times that shooting with us feels as if their just hanging out with old friends. We love our clients, and are so happy we make them feel comfortable!
Anna and Paige also deliver and design all your finished images and products. Everything is edited in house. Your photos stay with us from the shoot until we deliver them to you! We love giving our clients their finished photos in our studio. Being able to be present when people see how beautiful they are, sometimes for the first time, is a powerful experience. It's one of the biggest reasons we started Roar.
As women we understand that it can be very threatening to be so exposed and having a male present- whether that is your photographer or a member of the support staff. While this isn't an issue for everyone, and certainly not meant to dismiss the merits of any other male photographer in our industry, it's still important for some of our clients. Seeing your body as beautiful, powerful and sexy is an amazing healing tool. We want you to feel safe, loved, and beautiful. This is one reason we are fully staffed only by women. While this isn't an issue for all our clients, we want to protect the ones whom it is an issue for. Our space is safe for any client, no matter their gender or sexual orientation. If you have any concerns about past experiences influencing your session please let us know.
We believe with every fiber of our being that everyone's bodies are beautiful. From super models, to the curviest forms, to people with disabilities and everywhere in between; you are perfect as you are. Everyone has issues with their bodies, don't let that stop you from seeing how beautiful it is as a whole. Appreciate everything it does for you, celebrate your battle scars and stretch marks! Every little "flaw" is part of you, and makes you who you are. Roar boudoir wants to bring out a beautiful version of you!
Being body positive is also the reason we don't do "before and after" photos. There is nothing inherently "better" about our photos than the everyday you. All of you is beautiful, and sometimes it's nice to see a different facet. We want the Roar Boudoir experience to take center stage. The process, the building of body confidence, and the fun is what's most important to us!
We don't discriminate, period. Not every client is our client, and that's okay. While we might not be the photographer for you for a myriad of other reasons, the color of your skin, your gender, or your sexual orientation won't be one of them. We celebrate everyone, no matter the body they come in!
