Intimate Photography Clients Tell Their Stories

Kelli

“Barbara, I had so much fun with you yet again!! And I love the photos!! Thank you!”

Vicki

“Working with Barbara on my husband’s Valentine’s Day present was one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve ever had. I am not a person who is comfortable in front of a camera fully clothed so I was really nervous. Within minutes of starting my photo shoot I found myself enjoying it instead of dreading it. She had such a calming affect and at no time was I embarrassed or self conscious of having my portrait taken. She made me feel like I was a model instead of a mother of two. I look forward to having another session in the near future with Intimate Photography.”

Michelle

“I just want to thank you for all your patience and kindness with me today. I was very nervous about taking “out of the norm” pictures, but it’s also something I’ve always wanted to do. I didn’t know if I would be able to go through with it, but thanks to your sweet nature, comforting words and great hair and make up artist, it was not only do-able, but a lot of fun! Intimate Photography helped me to transform into a completely different person for a day and it felt like I was in a fantasy world. Thank you for giving me the support I needed. You do amazing work.”

Twyla

“I had a wonderful experience at Intimate Photography. Everyone was warm and welcoming from the time I walked in the door until the time I left. Barbara is an excellent photographer and she made me feel comfortable throughout my session. I was very pleased with the photos and would highly recommend her to any one.”

Joanne

“Thank you for a terrific session today at Intimate Photography! I arrived for the shoot, and before I knew it, I lost any inhibitions and actually started to enjoy myself! The result was truly amazing. Barbara had captured, with her incredibly artistic eye, my best features in artistic and sensual poses. The photo book looked like something out of Vogue magazine! Thank you, Barbara, for making an almost-60-year-old into an object of beauty.” P.S. “It was the best 25th Anniversary Present I could have ever given my dear husband!

Tony, Joanne’s husband

“When my wife showed me the slide show from Intimate Photography on our anniversary night, I was blown away. The photos were artistic and sexy at the same time and captured the beauty of my bride of 25 years! This has to be the best present she could have ever given me.  All I can say is, WOW.”

Susanne

“Classy not trashy” is how I would describe Barbara’s intimate photography. I have to admit that I am very uncomfortable just getting a regular photograph taken! But Barbara is one of those rare individuals who can get you to relax and be yourself while being photographed. Barbara took as much time as I needed, and her photos are awesome! I feel 100% comfortable referring Barbara. You will not be disappointed. She made me feel comfortable, I had a lot of fun, and she made me look beautiful.”

Monica R.

“This was such a wonderful experience, I have been wanting to do this photo session for a while but since I am a curvy girl I was totally horrified of showing skin to anyone else but my hubby. So I decided to do it for his birthday and I am amazingly pleased with the results. I couldn’t believe that I looked that amazing, sexy and especially hot, which I can say is not part of my vocabulary. I know this was all thanks to Barbara with her sweet personality and her perfect directions of angles, lighting and just the right smile and look. I am very happy with the results, pricing and I cant wait to see his face when he opens his birthday gift. Thank you Intimate Photography!!!!!”

“I had never done anything like this before and thought it would be a very special gift unlike anything my husband has. I read the Yelp reviews and browsed the galleries on the Intimate Photography website to get a better idea of what I was going to be doing the day of my session.

“I’ve had a wonderful experience with Intimate Photography so far! From the first phone call booking my appointment until my recent viewing/ordering appointment, I have been treated so well. Barbara tried to get a sense of what I wanted and which outfits I might enjoy. I recently had my second child and lost 20 pounds and feel the best I have felt in a long time. She suggested a corset and that is one outfit I did end up choosing. Barbara then took the time to help me pick out other outfits that may look good on me and fit me well. I was very happy with my outfits choices. Barbara took many pictures throughout my session and she made me feel very comfortable and beautiful.”

Tabitha 

“On the day of my viewing/ordering appointment, I wasn’t sure what to expect and how the photos would turn out. They were even better than I imagined and I ended up buying an album and the digital files. I cannot wait to pick up my album and give it to my husband for his upcoming birthday. I have already given out Barbara’s business card and have recommended boudoir sessions to all of my friends. It is truly a once in a lifetime experience and boosted my confidence as a mom of 2 whose body isn’t the same as it was years ago.”

Hope

“Greatest experience, and good customer service! I came here with about zero idea what I wanted, and Barbara was great to work with. I came in super awkward, bashful, and nervous, and she really put me at ease. The make up artist/hair stylist did my hair and makeup, and she is just awesome! I loved the way my look turned out. Trust me, I’ve definitely never done anything like this, but Barbara walks you through every single pose, and makes sure you’re happy with the finished product! I had a hard time narrowing down my selection, I loved them all so much. I definitely felt like a supermodel when I finally saw the prints. I HIGHLY recommend this business, you won’t regret coming here, I guarantee!”

Jessica 

“I was nervous, oh yes, nervous. The hair and makeup artist started my experience and was out of this world. She did a great job keeping me “me” but making me a little extra glamorous at the same time. I brought one outfit of my own, and with some expert help picked two more. Won’t lie, was unsure about one but holy cow, those pics turned out some of the best!!! The whole experience was a lot of fun, and I was completely comfortable during the whole boudoir photo shoot. It was liberating, exciting and an awesome experience I’d recommend to friends and family alike. I have now seen and purchased my boudoir pictures and I love each and every one. They show me, and a whole other side of me I’ve always been shy of. Worth every penny!!!!!”

Audrey 

“I really enjoyed having my boudoir photo session at this studio. My girlfriends gave me a photo shoot for my birthday. Barbara, the photographer, was patient and helpful. She knew which lingerie/outfits would best flatter me. I chose to do my own hair and makeup, but she also offers those services at her studio. She had a nice selection of jewelry too. I felt very comfortable during the boudoir photo session. Barbara knew exactly how to pose me for each photo in the most flattering way. When I came in to view my photos, Barbara showed them to me on a monitor and we were able to sort through which ones I liked. I was truly amazed as my photos were jaw dropping beautiful. I looked like a model! The photos had minimum touchups and were the real me. I was very impressed with Barbara’s professionalism and talent with taking my photos. Definitely recommend her and think that every woman should do this and see how beautiful they really are!”

Melanie

“Barbara, the photographer, is such a sweetheart! I’ve never felt more confident in myself and my body than I did during and after the photography. Don’t worry about bringing any outfits because Barbara provides a great variety of them as well as matching shoes and accessories. I paid extra for hair and makeup, but Meleah did just a fantastic job that I even booked her for my wedding. I will guarantee that you will not be disappointed in your boudoir photo shoot.”

Demi 

“I don’t even know where to begin!! Barbara went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable, look gorgeous, and make my visions come true for my boyfriend’s birthday gift! Her boudoir studio is private and cute. It’s nothing over whelming and she’s there to guide you through it all! She always has good music going so it was fun! Her hair and makeup artist was SO GREAT! I seriously have not felt that good in a long time! Both of them are great to talk to and have amazing personalities! Barbara was awesome at helping me match outfits with jewelry and shoes. She really knows her stuff and is super keen on the little details. And helping me pick outfits that fit my body type and made me feel sexy! I honestly cannot say it enough this entire experience was AMAZING!! Everything about this was great, from the very first phone call Barbara was welcoming and has a great personality!! Her prices are awesome and you really will not find anyone with such passion and love for what they do elsewhere. SIDE NOTE: I’m 21 and I thought she was awesome at making sure we were on the same page and both had the same ideas of what I wanted for my boudoir photos. Age doesn’t mean a thing, she really did a wonderful job with it all!”

“5 stars is an understatement for the experience and photos from Intimate Photography! Jaw-dropping, breath-taking, beautiful, sexy, classy – I could go on and on. Barbara and her team are a delight to work with. Scheduling was a breeze, and they were always responsive to inquiries. I had them do hair and makeup which I highly recommend. The wardrobe, shoes and accessories selection is great – it’s like a dress-up dream come true.
Special shout out to Barbara: you have an amazing talent and gift for making people feel and look absolutely stunning! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing out the best in me. My boudoir photos will be treasured for a lifetime!”

Wendy G.

“Phenomenal intimate photography experience! The boudoir photos surpassed all my expectations. Barbara is a very talented photographer, and just as important she makes one feel so comfortable & at ease. I was able to provide input on everything from start to finish, and she even went out of her way to deliver the final photos. Her workspace has so many options for nearly every shape, size & proclivity. Corsets, stilettos & negligees oh my!
The more I view my pics the more I appreciate all the creativity & effort Barbara put into them.
So glad I did this boudoir photo session just for me (though I’m not the only one who’s enjoyed the final products hehe).”

Mythanh

“One MILLION stars for Intimate Photography!!! This was a gift for my boyfriend and he absolutely LOVED it! Barbara has the perfect personality for this position. She brings out the sexiness out of anyone and everything! It all starts with the wardrobe, Barbara finds time, to learn what you’re looking for. She coordinates lingerie with jewelry and accessories. The boudoir photo shoot does take a few hours, 3 outfit changes, different backdrops, countless poses and photos to select from. Barbara created the most beautiful silhouette portraits and made me feel 100% comfortable! This experience was fun! My boyfriend’s expression… PRICELESS! Barbara creates an slide show for the viewing appointment. She was patient while I’ll decided  what photos and projects to purchase. Keep in mind she takes many, many photos so you have a great selection to choose from.
My photos were ready for pick up within 3 days! She knew I needed a quick turn around.”

Kristina 

“This was such an amazing experience. Barbara is a great photographer and makes the whole experience a lot of fun. I was nervous going in but Barbara was a true professional and knew how to hide my problem areas. The lingerie outfits Barbara picked out were great and made me feel super sexy. I was excited to see my boudoir pictures and they turned out amazing. This was a surprise for my husband and he was speechless when he saw the sexy photos. I will go to Barbara again and would definitely recommend her to anyone that would like to take these style of photos in San Diego.”
