Rami was a blast to work with. All the ladies who were involved with my session were absolutely the best. They made me feel very comfortable and by the end I was elated to have chosen Black Lace for my boudoir!!! They walked me through every step, no pressure to do anything I was uncomfortable with. Which made the entire session very enjoyable and relaxed! Excited to work with everyone again.
Working with Rami will forever go down as one of my favorite experiences. Her calming energy, creative eye, and supportiveness made the boudoir shoot beyond delightful. She walked me through the process and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. When I saw my photos during the Reveal, I was shocked. It was the first time I didn’t pick apart everything about myself in a picture. I truly saw myself as beautiful as someone who graces the pages of a magazine. Don’t walk, RUN, and book a boudoir session with Rami at Black Lace Boudoir. I promise you won’t regret it!!!
This was such a fun empowering experience! Rami made sure I was comfortable from start to finish, and was always quick to get back with any comments, questions, concerns. I love that even before the session theres informative emails to explain what to expect, tips and tricks, and suggestion on outfits and poses. She really goes the extra mile to make sure you feel safe, and is doing the poses right along with you so you don’t feel awkward. There is no room for body negativity and she ensures you are feeling great about yourself! You feel like you’re taking pictures with a friend. I love that I got to see my preliminary pictures the same day as my session instead of waiting weeks or months wondering how they came out. The studio is also beautiful with so many spots for stunning pictures and is conveniently located in downtown Fredericksburg.
As a 34 year old mom I felt silly going into my appointment, but I knew I’d regret it later if I didn’t do it now. Rami and her team were all wonderful, I was immediately put to ease and was able to relax and let loose and enjoy myself. Rami’s photos of you are beautiful! She captures the sides of you that are there even when you don’t feel like they are. It was all-around a wonderful, pampering, empowering experience and I hope to do it again someday!
I knew I was going to book with Rami about five minutes into our consultation phone call. She was friendly, funny, down to earth and had a way of describing the boudoir process that made it less intimidating. The call was full of information about where to shop, where to look for inspiration and guidance on thoughts and mindset. Communication from BLB was consistent throughout the entire process, from booking to the day of the shoot. Any email I sent was answered promptly and thoroughly, any concerns I had were addressed fully. As the day of the shoot approached, I was definitely nervous; not knowing what to expect, having body image issues, wondering if I was too old, too heavy, too you-name-it, it all was going through my head. In addition to my nervousness, I was excited and hopeful. I wanted to do this for myself. I wanted to see myself in a different way. I wanted to silence the voice in my head telling me I'm not pretty enough, I'm not thin enough, I'm not young enough. The morning of the shoot I arrived early so we could go through my outfits. Rami helped me sort through them all and narrow down the choices. She also showed me the client closet and suggested a few items. Once we settled on outfits and sets, Tiffany started on hair and makeup. I thoroughly enjoyed that whole process, as Tiffany is fun, easy to talk to and fantastic at her job. Once hair and makeup were complete, I changed into my first outfit and the magic began. Rami put me completely at ease. She demonstrated each pose and guided me through them. It was like a fun game of "follow the leader". I had several outfit and scenery changes, each a little different, each unique, classy and sexy. (The shower and red sheet set were/are my favorite.) The time flew by and that voice in my head, the one that told me I wasn't enough...well it was silenced, and I thank Rami and her staff for that. Once we finished shooting the pictures, we had a break for lunch while she went through the photos and narrowed them down. After about an hour, we sat down to review them and let me tell you, I was so nervous! Posing for the photos was one thing but seeing them and actually looking at myself, is another thing completely. I needn't have worried, they were stunning. Rami is a master at her craft. Does this mean I liked them all, no. Does it mean I didn't judge myself, again no. However, Rami helps you see yourself differently, see yourself as others see you. She helps you drown out that voice that sees the negative and redirects you to the positive. I took a couple of screen shots of the photos and as I look at them, day after day, I love them even more. I love myself even more; for taking the time to do this for myself, for listening to Rami and not to the voice in my head, for realizing I am worthy, and I am enough. Thank you to Rami, Xan, Tiffany and the rest of the BLB staff. Your talent, time and encouragement, gave me a day that I will never forget. If you're even remotely considering a boudoir shoot with BLB, do it. You are worth it.
