Client Reviews
The testimonials you will read below were given through Facebook, Google, or Post-Session Questionnaires. Many are referencing a time when my sole specialization was in boudoir photography; my business was called Embrace Boudoir, and I had an amazing team of assistants and stylists you will see referenced as well!
Aimee
“You have a calming demeanor about you. Made me feel comfortable and you are so involved. Demonstrating poses instead of barking orders like I’ve seen other photographers do. You also were so good at hyping me up and cheering me on. You’re also hilarious so this also made me feel comfortable therefore smiles were not forced or fake. Even before my shoot I remember emailing you with questions which you answered quickly and you didn’t make me feel like I was bothering you. You’re just awesome all around.”
Amanda
“Doing the photoshoot with Ashlee was an amazing experience! I’ve always been self conscious, but she knew exactly how to make me realize my worth. She’s super professional, fun to talk with, and great at what she does! It was almost hard to believe how comfortable I was during the whole thing. She talks you through the poses, makes little jokes to help you relax, and takes plenty of time to make everything work for you. Thank you, Ashlee! I can’t wait to do another shoot!”

"Ashlee is super professional and a Godsend! A session is soooooooo worth it! The whole experience with Embrace Boudoir is life changing! My confidence has never been better!"
Anna
"I’ve had two sessions with Ashlee, during times of turmoil in my life, and she took care of me, not just with the work she does in and of itself, but spiritually and emotionally with her kindness and understanding. Her work is beautiful and meaningful in a world where people are struggling to accept themselves and each other just the way they are. Beyond business aspects, Ashlee is a good human being and I’m glad to know her. If you want to feel heard, supported, and uplifted while a skilled artist makes sure you EXIST in photographs, then Ashlee Guest Photo + Films is the best choice you can make."
Arlene
"Wonderful experience all the way around. Ashlee puts you at ease and directs you every step of the way. The final results will stun you 😍"
Ashley B
"She is amazing. Makes you feel so confident. As someone who has an autoimmune disorder and is difficult for me to pose, she definitely worked with me and asked me if I was okay in posing in certain positions. 1,000% recommend."
Ashley C
“I have had TWO amazing shoots with Ashlee. The first one I was doing as a gift for my boyfriend. At time of my shoot things were a little rough & I rescheduled. I debated on cancelling. Then realized I needed to do the shoot for ME. It helped me so much seeing myself in a new light & for the first time ever I felt absolutely beautiful! Fast forward they did make an awesome gift, but let’s be real, I needed them more than he did. Two years later I had a boudoir maternity session & it was incredible! I think pregnancy is such a beautiful thing & it was so uplifting and special to capture that time in my life. Ashlee is body positive & strives on capturing your uniquely you. She’s loving, caring, funny, talented, smart, and inspiring.”

"So in love with my maturity boudoir pictures even now more the 2 years later I wouldn't want to change anything about my session can't wait to do another one! So happy you made my pregnancy pictures so special! 😁"

“Ashlee is the absolute best!!! I was so nervous when I setup my shoot with her. The shoot itself was so much fun and exciting. When I left I had so much confidence and when I saw my photos I had no words. I’ve taken the confidence from that shoot with me. I feel better about my body, and everything. To anyone thinking they can’t do a shoot, I believe 1000% that you can.”
Ashley Y
"Ashlee is the absolute best!!! I was so nervous when I setup my shoot with her. I’ve seen her work and never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to look as confident. When I got to my shoot Ashlee and Angelina were again the best! They made me feel comfortable about everything. The shoot itself was so much fun and exciting. When I left I had so much confidence and when I saw my photos I had no words. They came out perfect because she has an amazing! I’ve taken the confidence from that shoot with me. I feel better about my body, and everything. To anyone thinking they can’t do a shoot, I believe 1000% that you can."
Brandy
"I can't put into words my experience with Ashlee but I am truly going to try and do this awesome lady justice. This session was booked as a gift for my by my sister and I was hesitate at first. This is not something I would have done just because however I AM SO GLAD I DID! Ashlee made this whole experience one to remember and I highly recommend everyone do this at least once in their life. You truly won't be disappointment! Ashlee thanks doll for reminding me that I'm pretty even when the world tries to tell us otherwise. You are AMAZING!!!!"
Brittany
"My session with Ashlee was amazing! Her and her wonderful team made me feel comfortable, beautiful and confident. I actually just had my photo reveal last night and I was totally blown away!!! She knows exactly how to pose your body for the most flattering and sexy shots."
Cassie
“I would say, above all else, you have PATIENCE. Hell, you did my shoot when you were, what, 8 months pregnant? I can't even imagine how uncomfortable you were. But you still took the time with me and made me feel like I was this beautiful goddess. I'll never forget that day. It meant more to me than I could ever convey with words.”
Christina
“This was one of the most empowering things I have ever done! Initially I was so nervous and insecure but Ashlee made me feel so comfortable and sexy. I gave the pictures to my husband as a gift and he said it was the best gift he has ever received besides our children but honestly I think it was the best gift I’ve given myself in a long time. Everyone should do it if not for their spouse than definitely for yourself!”
Deeann
“Ashlee was absolutely amazing! I felt so comfortable which to some it could be kind of hard to do when you’re in lingerie but she made me feel right at home! She is all about empowering us ladies and showing us from an outsider prospective how beautiful you are! This was exactly what I didn’t know I needed!”
Donna
“I just had my first boudoir photo shoot and it was amazing! Angelina did a great job on my make-up and hair, making me look unbelievable. Ashlee was fantastic! I was so nervous walking in but Ash made me so comfortable and made feel beautiful!”
Jennifer
“Ashlee is such a fantastic photographer! I’ve had the pleasure of having her photograph me and it was nothing short of wonderful. She is so great at directing, there is NO guessing what I should do with my hands or where I should look. She’s such a sweetheart too- LOVE!!”
Jerica
"Ashlee is definitely one of the best photographers I know to this day. She is so kind and always knows exactly what to say when your having doubts about your body image. Going into this process I would have never thought I’d make a friend out of it, but I sure did. Ashlee is just an amazing person all the way around. She’s very reliable and always willing to work with you to make things just right. The work she does is nothing short of phenomenal, no.. seriously. If you or anyone you know are thinking of having a boudoir shoot, you should definitely stop searching and make contact with this woman. You will not be disappointed, that’s a fact. The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. If you think your “too” anything, your wrong. Your not “too tall” or “too short” your not “too chunky” or “too skinny” your perfect for a boudoir shoot. If you take the chance to and get in the studio with her she will show you just that, your perfect just the way you are. If you go into this thinking your body is not good enough, I promise after you see your photos you’ll feel the exact opposite, you’ll see your body exactly the she does. It will boost your confidence and get you going in the right direction to finding that love for your self image, just the way you are. Take the chance, she won’t let you down."
Kristen
“You're our friendly neighborhood boudoir photographer! You go out of your way to make sure your clients feel comfortable when it's not easy to get in front of a camera exposed. It's like going to a friend's house for a sleepover. You get a make over and fashion tips. Then you get dressed up like a super star and play around in the spotlight.”
Kristina
“If you’ve never done a boudoir shoot...BOOK ONE IMMEDIATELY! It’s so crazy how you can go from feeling nervous about your body to feeling like the sexiest woman on the planet! Ashlee brings that out in you!! We are all beautiful & deserve to feel that way about ourselves (regardless of what society tells us) This was the best decision I ever made!!!!”
Kristina S
"I have been following Ashlee's amazing work for almost 2 years now and had considered doing a boudoir shoot but always talked myself out of it. Welllll...I finally did it the other day and it was the best experience ever; I felt so sexy, fierce, confident, and comfortable. Angelina did my hair and makeup and asked a lot of questions and was very professional. The outcome was gorgeous! I did start to get nervous when it was time to start, but Ashlee eased my fears very quickly and was so easy to work with. She really takes the time to guide and direct you through every pose and position. She also offers payment plans for her work which was a lifesaver for me and her website was very easy to use. If you are considering working with Ashlee I highly recommend it, she is very professional and polite and I can't wait to work with her again."
Kylie
“To be honest. I’ve always had an issue or two with a different part at some point. Being pregnant and doing something like this felt risky, but I feel my body was at its best! 4 babies and 1 in heaven, as a woman I need to be proud of what my body can do! Pregnant or not, we need to be proud of what we can do as females! I was told I was going into labor a week before my scheduled session and Ashlee was so kind enough to get me in! With that being said,I was so stressed and so rushed, none of my planned outfits came in,I was freaking out! I cried! I cried alot, no lie! So nervous! I got to the studio and all these ladies made me sit and relax! I tried not to think about the session,I sat at was getting my makeup done! ENJOY IT! Ashlee and Keelena were so caring and helpful, Ashlee walked me through every pose and breath,literally! My best advise is, If not now, when? If you don’t reach for it, someone else will! Stop over thinking and just do it! You are your worst critic and you will surprise yourself”
Lauralee
“Saying that Ashlee was amazing would be an understatement. While I was extremely nervous arriving for my shoot, it didn’t take long for me to relax and open up. Ashlee opened a door I didn’t know existed inside of me and let the sexy beast out! I could not be happier with my images and I can’t wait for another shoot!”
Liz
“I don’t even know where to start I did one session with Ashlee that absolutely changed my life and my point of view about myself! Since then I’ve done 3 more! She’s an amazing human and photographer who will make you feel amazing the whole time. Literally melted all my insecurities away. Why are you still reading?! Go get your own session!!”
Makayla
“I loved my session with you. You made me feel welcome from the time I stepped in the door. You explained everything to me for how we would get started and while I had my makeup and hair done, you even offered to grab me something from Starbucks which I felt was very nice. When it came time for the shoot, you made sure I was understanding how to pose and how to breathe, even getting on the floor to show me poses (while pregnant). By the time we were done I didn’t even want to leave and that’s rare because I get burnt out on social outings very very fast. That’s just how comfortable you made me feel, and that’s rare for someone to do with me.”
Megan
"Ashlee of Embrace Boudoir is nothing short of amazing! She has photographed me a couple of times now and I have been blown away every time. She is so knowledgeable on posing, wardrobe, lighting- everything. But beyond that, she is SO wonderful at making you feel comfortable and safe. I can’t wait for my next shoot with her!"

“I had a great experience working with Ashlee! She was patient with me the whole time and really helped me step out of my comfort zone.

Samantha
“5 star’s isn’t enough for Ashlee’s work she’s amazing! I was terrified when I first wrote her to book my session which was a few months after I had my fourth child. When I arrived to her house she was already pumping me up! I honestly felt like a renewed woman when i left her house! It sounds crazy but its true! I will ALWAYS recommend theses awesome ladies! My pictures made me cry and I still stare at them amazed that its really me! Lol sorry it’s so long. Just take the leap guys you wont be disappointed I promise!”
Sarah
“As soon as I got there you were very welcoming! You made my nerves & anxiety go away & made me feel comfortable at both my sessions. I loved your silly jokes that had me laughing non stop. It didn’t feel like a staged photoshoot, it felt more like friends hanging out taking pictures. What makes you stand out from other photographers I’ve worked with is you took the time to demonstrate the poses & make sure I understood them which helped me out sooo much!!! You made me feel so confident & fierce during my shoots. You are one of the most sweetest down to earth people I know! ”
Sasha
“Ashlee’s work is gorgeous. She truly believes all women deserve to see the beauty and strength in themselves. And she will help you do that, no matter your size, age, or hang-ups. Her and her team are empowering, sweet, and knowledgeable. They will make you look and, most importantly, feel like a bombshell goddess long after the shoot is over.”
Talena
“Very uplifting and animated. You obviously love what you do. Most photographers I have dealt with were like robots. Made me feel relaxed and comfortable...even half naked lol. Kept me laughing the whole time. Would do it again in a heartbeat!”
