“My experience with ShaRelle Studios was everything I hoped for, and more. ShaRelle made me so comfortable as soon as I arrived (and even before that, with all her helpful prep materials). It was so fun to be pampered as she did my hair and makeup, and she really respected that I wanted my makeup to look as natural as possible. I loved the way I looked before she even took the first shot! It was very fun to strike the poses, and even though they felt a little awkward sometimes, I had every confidence that she knew how to make the finished product look incredible. And she did - I loved every picture she took! I am so, so glad to have this treasure trove of photos that will help me remember how I feel about myself at this amazing time in my life. I can't wait to have another shoot with ShaRelle although I can't imagine new photos being any more beautiful than these. Thank you, ShaRelle, for helping me recognize and appreciate my true beauty! My boyfriend thanks you, too!”

“ShaRelle was the best! She is super down to earth and really put me at ease! I had done a boudoir shoot with a different photographer before but I was much more comfortable with ShaRelle. She really knows how to build confidence and make the shoot a comfortable and encouraging experience.
Her creative process was also really fun to experience and if you're open to the process, you're going to come out with amazing photos. We tried poses I had never thought of and felt weird at the time but ended up producing some of my favorites of the shoot.”

“Absolutely loved working with ShaRelle! This was my first time doing this kind of photoshoot so needless to say I was super nervous. I also take the worst pictures and am not naturally photogenic so I went into this with zero expectations (not because I questioned ShaRelle’s skills but because I feel like I can’t take a good photo without it being in selfie mode).
ShaRelle totally disproved my preconceived notions! She took pictures I never thought I was capable of ever taking. This truly speaks to her talent and skill as I felt like I wasn’t the easiest subject. Not only were the photos amazing but my whole experience was great. My hair and makeup came out so beautiful. She also knew how to style my outfits to fit my taste and look. She went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable in my own skin. I’m also 4 months pregnant so there were times I was feeling a little sick so she gave me some Tums and extra snacks to help with the heartburn.
I would absolutely do another session with her when I’m further along in my pregnancy. Thank you ShaRelle for making women feel beautiful in their own skin!”

“Shooting a session with ShaRelle was easily one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Not only does she make you feel 100% comfortable throughout the session but she will HYPE YOU UP along the way. One of the most empowering experiences I’ve ever had and photos I will cherish for life!”
— Miss A, NC
“Just did a couples boudoir session recently! ShaRelle was amazing, not only was she fun to talk to throughout the session and during the hour she does your hair and makeup, but she's able to make you feel very comfortable. The husband and I were a little nervous before arriving but that quickly changed once we arrived. She's very kind and gives a lot of compliments, it's always nice to get an ego boost if you’re a little self-conscious about yourself. It’s also just a nice experience to see the sexy sides of yourself and you're significant other and feel confident. It was nice doing the couples session for the fact that it's such an amazing experience to do together. We left feeling closer and having a lot of fun, it's also just fun to sit back and watch them pose and admire them. Also, she does guide you through the whole process, with posing and clothing so you won't be lost! Once we saw how the pictures turned out, we were absolutely amazed. She takes such beautiful photos, exactly what we wanted, from intimate/artistic to sexy and moody. The issue we ran into was loving too many of our photos. ”

“She's awesome!! I was so nervous about the photoshoot - afraid I won't feel good or if I did feel good in the moment, the photos won't come out well or as good as I would expect. I also had a few insecurities on my body/face that I wanted ShaRelle to work around with.
I had my first initial consult call with her and it was like chatting with a long time friend - she heard me, she was soo relatable and addressed all of my concerns upfront.
On the day of, she even gave me some cookies =) I asked for her opinions on the selection/options of outfits and she was extremely helpful in helping me put together the final line of outfits as we progressed through the shoot. I never felt rushed or limited, she genuinely was so professional, fun, and made me feel so confident and at ease. It’s my second time doing a boudoir shoot and I have to say, it felt like I was doing it wrong the first time (was with another photographer). Her process and coaching was just perfect -
She directed me seamlessly on the best poses and she will make even the slightest of adjustments to get the perfect pictures, while keeping in mind of the insecurities I told her about. She was like a friend, a cheerleader and a hypewoman throughout the whole day. She made the whole day fun and relaxing and the day just flew by! The best part, the photos came out better than I had ever expected and I'm in love with all of them!!! It was refreshing to see the photos where I felt so confident about looking at them as I felt as I took them with Sharelle.
Thank you ShaRelle for an awesome experience!! You really won't go wrong with Sharelle!!”

“you would be shocked, or maybe not, because you’re truly amazing, how many people still ask to see my photos because they were so well done, artistically and tastefully. I am regularly asked by friends and their acquaintances to show my photos to girls looking at getting a set done, because they’re always inspired by them. I just want to tell you thank you. You honestly changed a huge part of my life with those photos. You gave me the type of confidence I never even knew was possible. Once I saw myself the way others had, the way my husband still does, it was like a domino effect for me. The confidence to wear my make up boldly, show more skin in trendy outfits that I never would have previously dared to as a plus size girl, and even lose many of the mental hangups that existed for myself in my romantic relationships with my husband. You truly opened my eyes with your talent and allowed me to fully embrace myself. For that, I am forever grateful... and confident.”

“This has been the most amazing experience. From the moment I met ShaRelle in our consultation, she put me at ease. The atmosphere is very easygoing and home-like, and ShaRelle is that favorite girlfriend that you always knew was your long-lost sister. She is more than knowledgeable about the technical side, but her artful eye is what completes the package. Laughter is truly more relaxing than wine … and I’m pretty sure ShaRelle moonlights as a comedian. I left the shoot still giggling. I returned a short time later to view my proofs …. YES the same day. Patience is a virtue, but there is something to be said for speed when you have no idea what to expect. I was in awe, completely mesmerized. Before that moment I wasn’t sure what to expect, but there is no way to be prepared to feel that amazingly beautiful in all your imperfections. Complete and total blessing I didn’t become Tammy Fay in that second. When I left the proofing, I called my husband. All I could tell him was ShaRelle is …. well nothing shy of Houdini. She makes everything bad disappear. When I received my photos my husband sat (with his mouth agape) forever mumbling things like, “beautiful, amazing, oh my, hot, and oh yeah”. He was so caught up that he ignored the repeated and annoying tones from his phone. His only question was, “You did buy them all, right?” Imagine my shock because he is the most thrifty (yeah thrifty sounds much better than tight) person I know. In conclusion, thank you ShaRelle. You rock at what you do. Everyone should have a job they obviously love so much. Keep making the world a better place with one happy, confident, and beautiful woman at a time.”

“ShaRelle created such a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere during the whole photo shoot and I loved her friendliness and her professionalism. I was very conscious about my appearance, but the outcome was stunning. She knows exactly what she's doing, is precise and made me feel like we have known each other for a long time. I truly enjoyed having my session with her and being so well taken care off and guided..”

“I had the pleasure of being a model for ShaRelle. From the moment I got there I felt comfortable with her. The studio was gorgeous and you could tell they spared no expense to make the vibe sexy yet classy. During the shoot you can tell she knew what she was doing, she knew exactly how to help position me to get the perfect shot that she was going for and the shots that I wanted. Her professionalism and personality helped me feel beyond confident and sexy throughout the entire session. This produced shots that were incredibly intimate and exceptionally beautiful. Not to mention her ability to edit the pictures which took the art to another level. If you go anywhere else, you are wasting your money!
— Alli, NC
“I was so unsure about the photoshoot that on the way there I mentally composed several emails canceling my session. I can’t tell you how glad I am that I didn’t send that email. ShaRelle put me at ease as soon as I met her. She is so genuine and easy to be around that my confidence grew by the second. I left the shoot excited to see my pictures but feeling like a dang model. My photos came back looking like a dream. My husband loves the photos and my confidence even more. You won’t regret a second of your experience with ShaRelle.”
-Megan, LA
“It was a wonderful experience. I would do it again and I would recommend that you do it too. ShaRelle was my favorite part of the experience. She made it effortless and is so very easy to work with. If you are feeling uncomfortable with anything let her know and she will take care of your needs. She definitely works for her customers and will make your experience worthwhile.”

“I am wanting to do another session so bad!!! Because of you and the last session, I discovered my true self. I have a pic of me on my dresser I look at every day when I leave. It reminds me that I am beautiful and sexy even at my age. Thank you so much!! My boyfriend shows his buddies some of the pictures even though they are 5 yrs old.”
—Melissa, LA
“ShaRelle provided a very comfortable and light hearted environment for my boudoir shoot. I was so worried about it being awkward but this was far from my experience and I cannot wait to do it again! ShaRelle made me feel so confident in my own skin and that ended up coming across in my pictures. She produces high quality work and her work speaks for itself. I would not hesitate to recommend ShaRelle!”

“I had such a blast doing my photos with ShaRelle! I felt so comfortable with her. It felt like I was shooting with a good friend, while still being super professional. I was so impressed with how my photos turned out.”
— Christina, LA
“It is so freeing and mentally uplifting I felt gorgeous, sexy, and beautiful! ShaRelle made me feel so comfortable, and more importantly, confident and sexy in my own body for a change! She showed me that, even though I have had 2 kids and my body is not the same as it once was, my body is still beautiful, loving, and sexy.”
— Samantha, WA
“I’ve had the pleasure of several boudoir sessions with ShaRelle and I couldn’t be happier with photos! She is a wonderful photographer and knows how make you comfortable and bring out your best! I never believed I could look and feel so sexy!! It definitely gave my self-confidence a needed boost. I would definitely go to her again for any photos!”

“After leaving a sexually abusive relationship, I threw myself into counseling and healing. No matter how I grew or what I did or accomplished, I was trapped sexually. I had learned over the course of 10 years that I was unwanted, undesirable, and unworthy of love or sexual intimacy. My confidence smashed over repetitions of awful abuse; I believed I was destroyed in this area for life.
A year after my freedom, I remained unchanged. I had grown scared of my own sexuality and what it might mean someday. I was referred to ShaRelle by a very dear friend and I wrestled with having pictures of this magnitude taken. That boudoir was for showing significant others or giving to your groom on the wedding day, but I kept coming back to it and to her. I wondered if this would encourage something that lay dormant inside me to blossom again.
I had spent months studying the identity God gave me and I longed to feel that in myself. When I came to ShaRelle, I prayed for this to be healing and for God to stamp his given identity on my heart so that I should never again forget it and that I would feel it deep inside my bones.
Sitting in the chair, ShaRelle did my hair and makeup. When I saw it, I was amazed to find I was the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on. As she took my pictures, posed me in precarious positions, and encouraged me to wear less than nothing I was never uncomfortable or conscious of my flaws. My mind was free and I felt confident in what I was doing. As the morning progressed and I gained confidence. When I changed outfits or put on my 4 inch stilettos, I walked taller and even admired myself in the mirror before going into the studio to continue shooting.
When I saw my pictures for the first time, I had low expectations but I was taken aback at how I saw myself. ShaRelle presented my slide show and I was shocked to find the pictures were of me. Not of a model, not of a porn star, not of a sex object, not of anyone else...but of me. I was glorious. I was desirable. I was sexy. I was sensual. I was myself. I wouldn’t have been able to guess, but I actually had a difficult time choosing pictures. I loved the way I looked and even more the way I felt.
I had healed more in the three hours I spent with ShaRelle than the year prior. Not to discount my growth or studies, but watching myself act out the confidence I wished to have exploded when I saw it on the big screen. I left the photoshoot feeling no blemish of my past; but instead feeling like a whole woman should, perfectly desirable and perfectly sexy - the daughter of a King.”
