Sarah Sent on 04/17/2015I'm really glad I did something like this. I learned I feel the sexiest when I allow my creativity to flow. We met a hotel in Dallas and I was allowed to bring items that I wanted my picture to be taken with. (A mirror, and cherries.) I was self conscious about my weight and what I look like. I'm 5"4 and 170 lbs. I came out great. When the photographer takes your picture, it's like she sets you up with poses and looks that everyone else has done. Which is okay if you don't have any ideas. I did have some ideas, and it seem liked we couldn't do every single one because you only have an 60-90 mins with them. (I couldn't remember if it was 60 or 90.) I really wanted to be there all day taking pictures but that didn't really happen. This company is stationed in California (I believe) and it was really cool being able to get on a computer and view the photos with them as they click and move the photos around. This is really a once in a lifetime experience. If it's not for your husband, do it for yourself. -

Lindsey Sent on 08/01/2016Okay, so this is definitely something worth doing. I had done this for pictures for my husband as our wedding is in a few months. I'm super picky about how I look in pics but I liked the way MOST of them turned out. They were great from the photographer, to the customer service team, to the image consultant. I couldn't give all 5 stars on Value because they are SO expensive... It's based per picture and then it's prorated on how many you get. So I had a groupon for the photoshoot and 2 mounted prints. I ended up buying an additional 10 photos with no upgrade on retouching (just do it yourself with a photo editor if you can) and it cost me..... about $800 dollars. Yep you read that right. $800. About $79/photo. Was it worth it? Yeah..... Do I still get choked up about the pricing? Yes. My advice is to choose the pics you want, pay in installments (interest free) until the pics are ready in a few weeks, do your own retouching and make your own photobook on an app for like 20 bucks. They will try to sell you all sort of packages, mugs, tshirts, calendars, albums etc but with a little time and a good app, you can do it on your own. Overall I liked it. Glad I did it. Would recommend. But be prepared to pay a pretty penny. -

Sima Sent on 06/15/2021Great experience photographer very expensive photo packages
Play photographer was very experienced and she made the experience enjoyable and relaxing. She complimented me on my body and said that I look good. However when it came time for viewing and purchasing photos that sales girl made it feel like I'm just another person that she got to go through. There was no celebrating experience. She didn't comment on any of the photos saying how they look good or anything like that it felt like she just wanted to be done with the viewing session. After realizing that a single photo cost about $150 (of course if you order 30 or plus you'll end up paying around $60 for a photo) I wasn't sure if I wanted to spend that much money. -

A few things. They are very expensive. At minimum it's 69$/digital image and that's not even in color. The fewer images you buy, the more expensive it is per image. Also ordered several digital images and won 2 5x7 image prints. They retouch the photos with a 'basic' retouching. They retouched my photos one of them they darkened my hair so much it's practically a different color. They will not provide the originals on the flash drive unless you request it. They only gave me the retouch. By the time the order was put in it was over 1600$ for maybe 20 images. I called them out for being so expensive and they provided the other images unretouched. Looking at the retouching they did, they should've provided the ones I purchased unretouched because this is a joke. I'm in the process of having this corrected. For that much money, they should be able to provide the unretouched and retouched version with every purchase. People shouldn't have to ask for it. There was also no packing slip/receipt at all. The flash drive is awkward and wonky.
To top it all off, any shots on a bed - bring your own blankets and pillows. Literally the set up was a mattress with just a white fitted sheet. So there wasn't even a loose sheet. So when they mean props - apparently they mean bedding too. I was expecting at least a blank sheet but they didn't even have that. For what you get for the money you pay for - IT IS NOT WORTH IT. -

Michelle Sent on 05/16/2019Overpriced and Disappointing
Just received my pictures from celebrate your sexy. I paid over $600 for 6 pictures total, after my credit from the prize I won at a bridal show. The pictures are so heavily edited that it doesn't look like me (specifically the shape of my lips is changed, moles are removed, makeup is altered, and in one torso shot I think they added or altered a belly crease that makes it look bizarre, and I genuinely feel like my belly button was removed??? ) I don't even want to give these pictures to my fiancé anymore. My experience with the photographer was wonderful, and she did a great job from what I saw from the original pictures. But I think their editing team is sub-par and that things are wayyyyyyy overpriced. If you're absolutely loaded and looking for a way to blow some money this is a great choice for you. -

This is going to be as honest as can be:
I am giving “value” 4 stars because the photos were great. Those 4 stars are for my photographer - cause she was great.
This place is an absolute joke, and honestly I wish there was an opportunity for me to leave multiple bad reviews for them anywhere I possibly could. PLEASE RUN AND SAVE YOUR MONEY. These people are basically a step away from robbing people and it’s absolutely ridiculous.
I also won the deluxe boudoir shoot as part of a bridal expo raffle I submitted in. It came with a full shoot and two 5’7 images. As people have mentioned in previous posts, there is a 50 dollar deposit to book the shoot. Which is fair, no one wants to be stood up. Pics ended up great. Awesome.
Well the robbery comes when it’s time to purchase. Surprise, surprise. Celebrate Your Sexy charges 150 dollars an image. Obviously as we all weed through this pandemic, not everyone is in the position to pay that kind of an INSANE price for one single image of themself. My husband and I decided since we did get the two free images, we would use my deposit and then “splurge” for one last shot. As if the prices of the images weren’t enough, Celebrate Your Sexy also has a BUNCH of ridiculous fees. Up to 20 dollars in shipping (of what I thought would be 3, 5 by 7 images) but wait..best part.. THEY WONT EVEN BE DELIVERED TO YOU. You need to go to your local fed ex and pick them up, unless you are willing to pay..MORE. Then they had some 15 dollar fee to prepare your images in a make shift black box with a skimpy ribbon tied around. I advised them that after paying 150 dollars, 20 dollars in shipping I don’t need the extra black box and ribbon.
I was completely annoyed at the process of purchasing but tried to think on the bright side, it was about an experience and I did have at least 3 pictures that I would be able to have and enjoy.
Now to the delivery. Not only did it take 3+ weeks to receive the DIGITAL images, once I went to my local fedex to pick them up, I only noticed two photos in my box. I proceeded to call Celebrate Your Sexy because it couldn’t be POSSIBLE that they would only send me two 5’7 photos and charge 150 dollars for a DIGITAL image. But low and behold, I was told that is in fact what they charge. Which was not clear at all! I asked the employee “who could possibly want to spend 150 dollars on one single digital image that it took them two seconds to upload, yet 3 + weeks to send?”. She tried to explain that the cost was associated with the rights the photographer gave me to then use the photos...of myself...the way I want. Aka be able to go and print elsewhere. I told them that is full robbery.
I am now waiting for a return call from a manager that has not come, not after speaking to a representative or leaving a voicemail expecting a response 24 hours later. Absolutely pathetic. Don’t walk. RUN from this place. Unless you want to be robbed and deal with the worst customer service. I know MANY women who have been interested in getting boudoir shoots done, and MANY that I would have loved to recommend. However, I will never have a nice thing to say about this business and honestly I wish I looked at these reviews before I booked with them because I am clearly not the only person who feels this way. Save your money beauties!

Audrina Sent on 06/03/2019won a "free" photo shoot but too expensive to follow through on
I was disappointing by their offer of a free photo shoot but then realizing that the prints were not included and it would cost several hundred dollars just to have a few photos printed. So i canceled my appointment and found someone else. A little misleading. -

Samantha Sent on 08/06/2019Bridal Show Scam Alert!
Fiancé won me a Luxe package at a bridal show and I’ve always wanted to try so why no, it seemed like a good value. But. There’s a reason their prices aren’t listed online. After everything I did to prepare and get to the shoot I only ended up getting my two included 5x7 prints, because DIGITAL retouched photos start at $125 each!!! and only going down if you spend THOUSANDS. The best package they could offer cost $1899!?! WTF.. no thank you.
The only positive was the location they picked was at a nice hotel in downtown Philly and their photographer really did a great job making me feel comfortable, having fun while we had our session and taking great photos. But for the cost of the photos it’s a terrible terrible value and total scam. Find your sexy and get your boudoir done elsewhere! Or risk being disappointed in investing time and money into a photo shoot for nothing!!!! Scam company, waste of time. -

Heather Sent on 05/24/2019Do not waste your time or money
DO NOT BUY THEIR "EMPOWERING" BULLSHIT. THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE, COMFORT OR SAFETY. I won a Celebrate Your Sexy package at a bridal expo earlier this year. I had never done anything like this before so I was very anxious but the photographer was amazing. She was very good at making me feel comfortable and if this review was just about her I would have given 5 stars.
After the photo session. I was informed by the photographer that my photos wouldn't be available for two weeks and gave me a number to call and get access to my photos.
When I called I was told the only way I could even see my photos was if I made an appointment months in advance to view them with a sales person. This made me so uncomfortable. I had not anticipated having to go through intimate images while a total stranger tries to upsell me.
I have contacted CYS repeatedly to get access to my photos and they have stopped responding. They make a big deal about "empowering" women but they made no effort to accommodate my request to seeing my images privately. This is just a scam where they try to upsell you. If I had paid for this service I would be suing them. Their customer service is incompetent at best and at worst indifferent to the vulnerable situation their customers are in.
My session was in February. It's the end of May and I haven't seen one single image. The company has made no effort to respond to my requests for privacy.
I highly recommend doing this kind of thing with a local photographer that you can trust. Don't waste your time on this predatory scam.
