love notes from past clients…

“The session was incredible- Alisha was super responsive to me and genuinely cared about the reason for the shoot. She was invested in my experience during the session and effortlessly made me feel comfortable in front of the camera, which is not natural for me. She guided me through every pose, facial expression and position to make sure the angles and lighting were perfect. When we reviewed the pictures she took I was blown away- she helped capture me in a way I didn’t usually see myself- confident, sexy and soft. I was worried about my body not being the way I’d like it to look, but honestly I’m glad I did this shoot without waiting for the perfect time because it helped me see myself in a different, positive and more kind way. I would recommend her to anyone and I am so glad to have had this experience with her!”

“I couldn’t have planned a better day for my birthday! From start to finish I had fun and was relaxed. I even felt like I was in my own closet being able to lay out clothes and jewelry! The added bonus that I wasn’t expecting besides all the laughing and fun was the conversation about being sexy, something I have always struggled with. Alisha’s words, hype during the shoot and authenticity made me feel like a lifelong struggle was at an end, if only for the day.
The words ‘thank you’ cannot convey the actual gratitude I have for her and this experience.”

“The first thing out of my mouth when I saw the unedited photos with Alisha was, ‘Is it bad that I’m turning myself on right now?!’ This was the best 30th birthday present I could have ever gotten myself. The whole experience had a way of reawakening the spicy woman who had been lost within the mom bun & leggings over the last 3 years. I love my photos, (so does my husband 😉)! I don’t think there has been a day since I received the digital proofs that I haven’t looked at them.”

“There aren’t enough words to explain how I am feeling about my boudoir experience with Alisha. If you’re thinking about it, or are on the fence, schedule a phone call with Alisha! This has been something I have been interested in for a while but I never really felt like I would enjoy seeing photographs of myself and my body in this way. My husband, however, has supported and empowered me to feel more myself than I ever have and through this I have learned to be comfortable in my own skin so I felt like I should just take a chance and give this a try.
I was so nervous at first but after talking to Alisha and hearing her positive energy throughout our conversation, I knew I had to do this and it had to be with her. From the very first phone call to her encouraging emails and social media posts, she is so sweet, friendly, supportive, and patient. Her personality definitely eased some of my nerves but naturally, there were things I still worried about: is it obvious my fake nails are fake? Should I have waxed my arm hair? Is that one chin hair I couldn’t pluck going to make an appearance? My curly hair is too frizzy to photograph well, maybe I should have done something else to it? The list goes on. The thought of looking at my photos with all of these things going through my head really worried me. Would I like them?
I can honestly say once the day got started, all of that went away! I had so much fun getting my makeup and hair done, chatting with the ladies, and taking photos that I completely forgot that I worried about anything! I was so excited to see my photos, and when I did I couldn’t believe that was me. I am still awe-struck and in love with all of them. The whole experience made me feel like a movie star, This one day will have an influence over me that I know will last a lifetime.
What Alisha does is truly inspiring, and how she photographs and empowers women to see themselves in such a positive way is an amazing gift. Alisha, thank you for sharing your gift with me, I don’t think I will ever go back to seeing myself as anything less than fierce and beautiful. My body is not perfect, but I love it and myself more than I ever have because of what Alisha has shown me I am capable of through her art.”

“Alisha did a phenomenal job on my photo shoot! I’ve had one other boudoir photo shoot done before and I’ve told her over and over again how much of a difference this one was and it was absolutely hands-down for the better from day one! Her communication, professionalism, and the ease and the comfortability of this shoot was on point! Thank you, Alisha, for capturing a new me!”
“I have always been a shy, semi-reserved person. It takes me a while to get out of my comfort zone, so it’s pretty easy to say that doing a boudoir photo shoot wasn’t something that was ever high in my list of to-dos, even though the intrigue was always there. Even leading up to the session, I second guessed myself, the way I would look, on and on. ALL of that was washed away the minute Alisha started clicking away. From the poses, the studio space, to her showing you exactly what to do, how to do it, everything, it was perfect.
Seeing the photos was mind blowing in the best possible way, to see yourself in a way that you never imagined felt so amazing, I had no words other than “this is crazy!! & “holy crap…that’s ME!” I did this initially a little bit for me, and a lot for my spouse, but after seeing the photos, it turned into A LOT for me and a little for him, it’s been the hardest secret I think I have had to keep in a long time. I look at the photos and am still blown away that it’s me, so If you’ve ever thought about doing a boudoir session, I absolutely recommend doing it, it’s so empowering and you will feel like a legit model! I am going to look at these photos all the time!!!”
“Today I received the album that Alisha made for me and I had happy happy tears in my eyes …she has made me feel so beautiful inside and out and she made me look in an mirror and not see the scars from my bad marriage but a woman who has survived what most women can’t walk away from. She has put me into a new way of thinking about me and how wonderful I should feel about being a woman. I can’t thank her enough for what she has done and I truly can say 1000000% that every woman should go to her for this most wonderful experience. ♡♡♡”
“I was extremely nervous to participate in a photo shoot of this kind. I am usually uncomfortable with my body and do not show it off. I have personal trauma that also hinders my ability to let loose sometimes. This shoot was transformative. It brought me a sense of self love, as well as comfortability in my sexuality. I cannot explain how it felt to see my pictures. Alisha captured a side of myself that I do not usually see. It was raw and beautiful. It was incredibly rewarding. I would recommend this experience to every single woman. She personalizes your shoot so it can be for anyone. I feel like a goddess! Every woman deserves that feeling!”
“I can never thank you enough. Those pictures have allowed me see myself in another aspect. I am now more confidentt and feel as I can conquer the world. This year has been life changing…and you helped me in my process. You definitely rock. You possess such a great energy and are able to draw from people what they are afraid to show. I took a great leap…so glad that I did. I am eternally grateful.”
“There are no amount of words that could accurately describe what an amazing experience this was from start to finish. From your initial consult, Alisha makes you feel comfortable and fully prepared for your session. She is knowledgeable, professional, talented, and not to mention the BEST hype-woman. The layout of the session, starting with your hair/makeup, wardrobe changes, lunch, and then the big reveal leave you feeling like a boss babe all day long. I know I walked out of my session, head held high and radiating confidence. Alisha brings out that inner goddess we sometimes forget we possess. No matter if you are doing this for yourself, a significant other, or whatever the reason… your only regret will be that you did not do this sooner.”
“Before reaching out to Alisha, boudoir was always something is considered, but in the back of my mind, I had this nagging voice that kept convincing me I wasn’t “sexy” enough or that I would just end up looking awkward and uncomfortable. Let me tell you – looking back on the session, I sincerely could not have made a better decision than to have worked with Alisha.
“From the first phone call, I knew she was the girl for me. Meeting face to face at our pre-session consultation just solidified my confidence and comfort level with her. In fact, what was supposed to be a thirty minute consultation turned into a three hour visit. We just couldn’t stop chatting!
Alisha is so incredibly talented and down to earth. I felt so relaxed and comfortable with her throughout my shoot, which is truly spectacular considering a girl like me doesn’t spend much time half naked in front of the camera. Her hair and makeup team also made me feel absolutely gorgeous and they tailored my whole look custom to me (and my tattoos).”
“I highly recommend every woman to try this at least once. Don’t worry about being shy or uncomfortable. Alisha is so down to earth. It’s like being in a room with a long time friend. If you have any doubt of your beauty. Or just wanna step out the box and try something different. This will definitely be an experience you’ll never forget. I’m already thinking about doing another session.”
“Put your money where your mouth is because the experience and product are all worth it. I’m someone who is continuously working on being presently comfortable in my own body so I wanted to do something for me from me to celebrate where I’m at today, regardless of what I used to look like or what I will look like in the future and Alisha presented me with just that. She’s diligent, detail oriented, patient, and easy to work with. The odds you’ll regret working with her are slim to none. Loved it, love her, will likely book her again sometime. :)”
“About a week or so before my session, I almost cancelled because I didn’t think I looked good in the outfits I had ordered. I’m sure glad I didn’t cancel. From getting my hair & makeup done to having my pictures taken was amazing!!! I was so excited to see the pictures after lunch. Never did I think I looked so amazing. This is just what I needed for me!!! I highly recommend booking a session with Alisha at Atlantic Boudoir. I will be back again for another session. I can’t thank Alisha and her team enough for making me feel amazing, beautiful, and confident about myself again.”

“Going into this, I wanted to have something special to give my husband, but after seeing my pictures….I realized this was more for me than him. I have always struggled with self-confidence and still do even after the shoot. But seeing myself in a different point of view really did give me a sense of love for my body that I have never had before. In my typically day to day life, I forget what self love is and focus on what is around me. Now, I have these amazing photos to stop and reflect on a moment where I put myself first and truly learned to love me. Thanks to Alisha for being such an amazing woman to help build the confidence of other women and give us the gift of a lifetime with this unforgettable experience. She was absolutely the best person to work with!”
“I had a baby five months before my session. With two kids and working full time I tend to put my needs/wants last. I had also started seeing myself as just a mom. I wanted to remind myself how amazing the female body is and that being a mother and going through the changes that child birth imposes on the body shouldn’t change my perception of my beauty. Seeing myself through Alisha’s lens made me feel sexy, powerful, and thankful for a body that can nurture children but also exude sexuality. Don’t wait for a ‘camera ready’ body. Alisha will make you feel completely comfortable during the shoot and I think you’ll be amazed at how you see yourself when you’re done. I’m definitely grateful for the experience.”
“Alisha is a doll. Very down to earth and made me feel comfortable. She sends you updates and pointers/suggestions… and if not sure you are free to reach out to her. The session was great. I brought a bunch of stuff to work with and she helped pick them out and it moved fast from there. Don’t worry about not knowing how to pose because she will guide you. She wants you to look good and feel great about it.
If you are thinking about this, do it! Who doesn’t want a kick ass photos of themselves looking sexy and fierce. Also the end is the best… looking at all the images she took and seeing myself in a way I don’t really think of myself as, but only imagined I could be. This experience was a way for me to step out of my own shadow and take ownership of my body and be proud.”
“For someone who is modest and has a bit of body confidence struggles I really was scared to do this. Everything changed once I was actually doing it! Alisha made me so comfortable and I found myself struggling not to smile most of the session. Alisha made me feel confident and very empowered. She directed me through the whole thing and made sure I felt comfortable with every pose. I now believe that this is a must for every woman! Alisha captures the beauty that you may struggle to see in yourself. I know I felt like a whole new woman when I left her studio. I highly recommend Alisha. You will absolutely not regret doing this!”
“I was on the fence about doing a boudoir session, let alone a maternity boudoir session. But, it was the best thing that I could do for myself while 34 weeks pregnant! Having an 18 month child at home and facing dificulties with my current pregnancy, I wasn’t optimistic that I would see the beauty in my body or in myself. My time with Alisha in her studio, reminded me of the beauty of my own body. I was stunned when she showed me some of the images on the camera during our shoot. It gave me a revitalized confidence that not only I am a beautiful woman, but that women, even while pregnant, can truly do anything.”
