Its sad that the previous reviewer had a bad experience - I had a blast! I will say that it is not cheap: I bought a Living Social Deal, which included hair, the sitting fee, and a credit towards a corset. The pictures are NOT included, and they are pricey. Having said that, if I had only gone and just done the photo shoot it was still a great time! Amber (photographer) and Jen (hair/make-up) were so fun. Jen made me look like a pin-up girl (I got the optional make-up), and Amber made me feel totally comfortable and sexy. I just finished my consult (with Sara), and had to buy some of my pictures cause they were too awesome to pass up! Dont be put-off by the location: I found it to be clean, comfortable, and spacious, and the sets were really fun! Yes, its expensive, but I found it to be worth the experience.
I had a great time at deBoudoir last week! Jen did an awesome job on my hair, and Amber (the photographer) totally put me at ease during the shoot. I was a little apprehensive before coming in, but both of these ladies made it a fun and memorable experience. Dont be put off by the price; with the level of talent, courtesy, and rockin photo editing they provide, the experience and finished product is well worth it! I highly recommend them!
What a rip off!! I just had a shoot last week at the DeBoudoir Studio in Hillsboro. . Its a townhouse converted into a high-end studio but their is nothing high-end about this place. The studio itself looked very well, cheap! If I pay $200 for one photo, at least get better backgrounds not sheets from kmart for my photos!It had a small bathroom (changing room) ha! that I had to put my nice lingerie on a towel rack! The make-up artist was nice but very pushy on buying extra lingerie and my $75.00 makeup came off slowly after my second outfit change! The photographer was very rushed and did not even listen to any suggestions that I had to say, she just wanted to speed through my shoot and made me feel very uncomfortable. She was covering for the main photographer so maybe she did not know how to properly treat a client. I move slowly naturally, so having me speed through my poses and making deep breathing noises to show you are frustrated did not help! I will not recommend this place to anyone. Not only is it over priced, ill mannered staff, dirty bathroom, and the photos were not impressive at all!
I have never written a review about any business, being in business myself I do not find it appropriate to make any judgment calls on the way anyone runs their organization, but after my experience with the Company I had to make an exception. Two weeks before the Initial appointment I continued to receive text messages from the stylist Jen, asking me if she could reschedule m appointment. I had purchased this through a living social deal and honestly was starting to think I had gotten scammed after receiving the messages from her. She never once called asking me to reschedule and through text I told her I could not. I arrived in Hillsboro which is about an hour a way from my Washougal home to call the business for directions due to me getting lost and was told (by Jen) my appointment had been filled because I never Text messaged her back. I even called the 1800 number I was given for the business to confirm my appointment that morning and a week before because I was worried, you make the judgment here. I would recommend Bare images In Portland Oregon she is amazing and has the up most professional staff! I truly hope the people here review this and take my experience into consideration.
