Where do I even begin with this review!?!? To explain how over-the-moon-happy I am with my photos, my book, and Shari as an artist and as a person simply cannot be put into words. But I am going to do my best here! Anyone who is looking for a boudoir artist, please read this and know that SHARI IS THE ONE. She has a beautiful heart and is insanely talented. I had my photos taken by her is 2019 and then the pandemic hit and we had to push off our wedding until 2022. I had a lot of unfortunate things going on personally that delayed me finishing my project with her until closer to the wedding date - she was very understanding of that and patient with me and in the end overdelivered on every aspect of my experience.

During the timeline of the photo shoot, the process of making my album, and her actually visiting me for a quick couple minutes to say congratulations on my wedding day (yes this happened! I begged her to please come see me if she was in the area and it was the best surprise when she actually made it happen!), we had a lot of time to get close and for me to see how dearly she cares about her clients and how passionate she is about her work. When I did my photoshoot, I was a little nervous, but she instantly made me feel relaxed, confident, and shortly into the shoot, we were making each other laugh like we had known each other for years. The most important thing to Shari is empowering women to feel comfortable and confident in their own beautiful natural bodies. She will take photos of you that make you feel on top of the world and like a rockstar. She knows just the right angles, poses, etc. and will tell you exactly what to do if you are lost. I had no idea what I was doing and she guided me the whole way! I also had the privilege of seeing her do fun, sexy, photos at the BOLI soiree of all the brides-to-be dressed up in their fancy outfits. And not to sound cheesy, but it was heartwarming watching the magical effect Shari had on women that you could tell were nervous at first but then totally relaxed and having fun once she started shooting and guiding them.

She will go above and beyond every step of the way. There are many examples I can give but one in particular I am forever grateful for and want to share….when I finally picked my photos, I wanted to change a couple black and whites to color, but she needed the original files to make that adjustment for me. Since it had been so long since the pre-pandemic shoot and she was in the midst of changing studios, the photos were in her storage unit and she would have to search for them. Because she wanted me to be the happiest possible, with zero hesitation, she literally made time to go on a treasure hunt and dug up all my original files! It was my fault for taking so long but she did it with a smile because she wanted me to be happy with every photo!

And once I received the book in the mail…OMG the magical feeling I had turning every page. It was more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed, even after seeing the digital proofs. The quality of the actual book itself and the resolution of the pages. I was so giddy with excitement, it took everything in me to keep it a secret from my husband that week before the wedding day.
Thank you Shari for EVERYTHING! You are one of a kind and an incredible human. I am so grateful to have met you and to have all these sexy photos to keep forever. My husband Joe tells me to thank you again every time he looks through it! 🥰
