"I have never done a boudoir shoot and I was a bit intimidated. I wanted to book a shoot like this as a treat for myself in hopes of regaining and activating my feelings of self-worth, empowerment as a woman, and feeling sexy. I'm a single mom, work non-stop, in my masculine energy daily as a boss and have not felt attractive for a while. When I spoke to Renae over the phone something about her voice soothed me and she was so passionate and professional about what she does so I decided to put my trust in both her and her photography art and I couldn't be happier with what happened. When I've done headshots or regular photos in the past the photographer would give cues such as, "act natural," "what would you like to do next?" " turn your head," etc.Directions were vague and to be honest I wanted the photographer to take charge and tell me how to make myself look good in front of the camera; tell me angles, and physically move me into positions that are the most flattering from a camera's perspective. The other studios were cold and not very welcoming either. Bombshell Dreams Boudoir is at Renae's house and it feels warm, comfortable, and very welcoming - she's put a lot of time and effort into creating a beautiful space for us! Renae did this the whole time. Without coming across as condescending or making me feel incapable of appearing beautiful, she guided and corrected me with gentle words, asking if she could physically move me around instead of invading my space without permission. She complimented certain things and said that other poses were better, and my confidence began to rise. By the middle of our time together, I felt so empowered that I was able to release a creative side of myself and suggest my own movements and style with her. I was so comfortable and trusted her expertise. The experience exceeded my expectations and when I received the photos back I ended up purchasing the whole album! Her colors, contrast, angles, everything captured the essence of sensuality within the photos perfectly; it didn't even feel like I was looking at myself! To say Renae has a gift is an understatement - she has a talent that will bring out the side of you and will be able to capture it on print that you never thought possible. HIGHLY recommend Bombshell Dreams!"
“As a 42 year old woman and a mother of two I started to feel less comfortable with my looks and my body. Add in a divorce and my self-esteem plummeted. I went to Renae for a boudoir shoot and did not know what to expect or how I would feel. She was amazing every step of the way including picking out what to wear and I knew what to expect from the experience which helped a lot. She encouraged ,e to feel comfortable in my own skin and be myself. The hair and makeup were wonderful and allowed me to feel beautiful and special. By the end of the shoot, I completely forgot I was in lingerie and instead was laughing and having an amazing time even hamming it up for the camera, which I never thought I would do. The pictures came out remarkable and although I didn’t look like “normal” me, I could see myself in them. Renae captured my feelings and emotions with such accuracy and poise, and I look at the pictures periodically to remind myself what a bad ass, amazing, and beautiful woman I am.”
