A Priceless Empowering Experience!

I had the BEST experience with Karen and her team! I got this as a wedding gift for my fiancé and I am so glad I chose to do this!

DENISE (Studio Manager)
Amazing! Prompt & detailed information as soon as we began the booking & scheduling process. She's an absolute doll in person with a bubbly personality.

RJ (Hair & Makeup)
RJ made me feel so gorgeous! Everything was set up for me as soon as I arrived, and she offered a mimosa and some water, which were great to have after a long commute. She asked if there was any specific hair and make up style I wanted, and we were pretty much on the same page from the start. The only thing I was particular about was my lip color and she nailed it!

KAREN
Karen was so welcoming as soon as I walked to the door. She really wants you to have a positive, relaxing, empowering experience, and it's evident from the moment you arrive. I had been SO excited and looking forward to this shoot ever since I booked it, and any and all expectations I had were far exceeded!!

The studio space and dressing room have the perfect tone to set you in the mood, letting you know that it's "you" time. You think having a spa day is enough self-care, but once you do a boudoir shoot with Karen, you can't help but develop the most deepest sense of self love and appreciation. The empowering positivity resonating through your soul from one session lasts a lifetime.

Karen makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful at every moment. She is with you 100% of the way, from selecting the right outfits paired with the right jewelry and shoes, to poses. I was obsessed with every sneak peek photo she showed me on her camera. I could not believe it was me!

This experience was the first in my life that I could attach the word "priceless" to.

If you're still on the fence, JUST DO IT! You will not be disappointed!!

When you book Karen French, you don't need to worry about anything. She did our wedding and engagement photos. All we had to do is show up and our photos are incredible. I think she has amazing equipment and a lot of experience. You can be assured that your photos will be GREAT.
She is very professional, very easy to reach, clearly explains all options, and doesn't do the hard sale. She had to drive over an hour to get to our location, but she was on time and fully prepared. I would highly recommend using Karen for a wedding.

Karen is so wonderful to work with. From the time we met with her to review our wedding plans and through our wedding day, she made us feel so at ease being photographed. Karen made sure to ask which shots of our family and our selves we wanted and then planned out the shots in a way that did not interrupt the fun and feastivities of our wedding! She is a true professional and we were extremely pleased with our experience from beginning to end. We had a lot of special requests, including 20 in our wedding party - we even had our golden retriever in the wedding- and Karen made sure to get all the best shots of us! It was effortless on our part and she brought our our true smiles for the pictures since we did not even realize we were being photographed at times!
