⭐️Public review of your experience
“This was the most fantastic experience - I have only positive things to say! I originally booked my session as a wedding gift for my fiancé, but by the end of the session I felt like I really gave myself a gift! It was such an empowering experience from the moment I walked through the studio door. Her studio is absolutely gorgeous, offers a wide variety of options and is tastefully decorated. Angela and her team were the best hype women and made me look and feel fantastic for my shoot. Cici and Katie did a phenomenal job with my hair, makeup!
We shared so many laughs throughout the session - I felt like Angela and I related to each other on many levels and it truthfully felt like we had known each other for years! Angela made the shoot feel effortless by explaining and demonstrating poses when needed. The conversations, stories and posing felt so natural, and never awkward. There was never a time when I was uncomfortable. I’m so glad I did this because by the end of the session I was able to crush any doubts that I had in my mind. I was surprised with how confident I felt stepping completely out of my comfort zone! The entire atmosphere felt SO body positive and up-lifting!
This experience with Angela and her team blew my expectations out of the water! I have already been raving to friends and co-workers about this experience. I can’t thank you enough!”

⭐️What did you like best about your boudoir experience?:
”The way I felt during and after! I can honestly say that through Angela’s artistry & talents that I was able to see myself in a new light (literally & figuratively LOL) Ang would show me different pictures that she felt really captured my essence & it was amazing to see myself in that way. I think it’s one thing for someone to tell you that you’re beautiful, and another to actually BELIEVE you’re beautiful. Ang gave me that gift of seeing myself as beautiful for possibly the first time in my life.”

I knew that she was the right fit for my vision.”

⭐️Public review of your experience:
”If you’re looking to see yourself in a new light and gain a new sense of gratitude for your body, Velvet Boudoir is the place for you. Angela and her team have created a gorgeous & welcoming space where you can feel comfortable to be yourself!
From the moment I walked into the studio, Ang & the beauty team made me feel like an absolute queen - I can honestly say having makeup & hair done at the same time really makes a gal feel like a model haha! Yet throughout the entire experience, I was so comfortable & it honestly just felt like I was hanging out with friends!
Throughout the photoshoot, I felt myself gaining a new sense of confidence with Angela’s guidance and encouragement. She helped me see myself in an entirely new way - I came in nervous/hesitant, and left feeling powerful & beautiful!”

⭐️Public review of your experience:
“Have you been thinking of doing a boudoir shoot? If the answer is maybe or no, DO IT. I was there once, seeing those girls pose in lingerie and thought ‘hmm I can’t do that’ or ‘I wouldn’t look good doing that’. But then I thought I SURE AS HECK CAN. Posing in lingerie was totally out of my comfort zone, ask anyone. But after talking to Angela, visiting her team, and doing the boudoir shoot today, let me tell ya am I ever glad that I took the leap and booked the session!
First, Angela gives you a complimentary phone call when you book. You get to ask questions and she explains the whole process and what to expect. The day of your shoot you get to meet her team Cianna (makeup artist) and Katie (hairstylist) and dang they make you feel and look GORGEOUS! You spend an hour getting pampered and just having some good ol’ girl time, what could be better? Then the shoot begins, after a few snaps of that camera you come alive, Angela fixes every strand of hair, poses you perfectly and even cuts out the tags from your outfit that she can see in camera haha. Following the shoot she sits you down and you just talk about how the session went and how you felt. I loved every moment of today, so thank you so much ladies.
If you’re looking to boost your confidence and find a new perspective of yourself I highly highly recommend. Everyone is beautiful, every imperfection, every dimple or curve. Don’t let the social media expectations make you think or feel different. BOOK WITH ANGELA!!!!💕”

⭐️Public review of your experience:
“Booking a boudoir session started as a present for my fiancé. But after postponing our wedding, it turned into something for me, and a time to make myself proud!
Overall it was such an amazing experience! I went in with nerves, but they were quickly blown out of the water! It was honestly so much fun! I would do it all the time if I could! I felt like a total badass the whole time and Angela is such a talented photographer. She takes the photos from the best angles, with the best lighting, to truly make you and your body look 10/10.
I loved the no pressure, no judgment, easy going atmosphere, and Angela herself was very comforting and friendly. It felt like Angela and I were friends for years after only about 30 mins into the session! I was so comfortable, it was like I was hanging out with a friend during the session with no awkward pauses, and no times where I felt uncomfortable. I left feeling so beyond confident in myself, with a whole new found love for myself! I would do it again in a heartbeat!”

“Angela and her team are stunners! They made the whole experience special from the time I walked in, to the time I left. I really liked the whole vibe! You could tell they worked great as a team, and were familiar with eachother. Everyone was so confident and made me feel so beautiful!
Angela has a wonderful way of making you feel comfortable and beautiful! I loved the way she was able to loosen me up and pose me in the best ways! I wouldn't book with anyone else!!! Ang is forever my photographer!! If you have never done a boudoir session, book with her NOW!”

⭐️Public review of your experience:
“Angela, I can’t say enough good things about you and your team! You have such a good thing going. I’m so glad I’ve been able to do this twice with you. The experience is so much better with your positive energy and vibes cheering me on the whole time. Thank you so much!
The beauty team insured that I had a part in making all the decisions with my hair/makeup, and made sure to ask if I liked everything so they could make any final touches before leaving (wasn’t necessary because they did amazing, but still so kind of them to ask).
As for Angela, she’s the best!! She makes sure you are comfortable throughout the whole session. She always checks in and keeps you in the loop about what she’s thinking and planning on doing next, so there are no surprises and you’re well informed.
I loved being able to experience 2 different types of boudoir sessions (regular and maternity). I felt stunning during both! I love that the time you spend there is all about you from the moment you walk in. It feels so great to be pampered and take home such amazing images at the end of it. It’s always such a positive atmosphere!
Angela + team, THANK YOU! You really know how to make a girl feel special. Going in to something new like this you always have your doubts, but you ladies were all amazing and made the experience so worth it! I am so glad I got to do this and would definitely recommend it to anyone who thinks they’re interested. It’s such an easy, fun and rewarding process.”

⭐️Public review of your experience:
“From start to finish, my Velvet Boudoir experience was incredible!!! Angela and her glam team made me feel so welcomed. I loved being pampered, and I loved how comfortable the atmosphere of the studio was!
I’ve heard such good things from friends that Angela has worked with, and I thought it was the perfect time now that I’m in my 30’s and getting married soon! I wasn’t nervous about being in lingerie (I knew Angela had lots to choose from in the Client Closet) I was only nervous about the posing part, since I’ve never done this before. But Angela quickly got rid of any nervousness that I had by patiently explaining to me how to pose. She even demonstrated the poses first! That made it so much easier! Angela was very professional and boosted my confidence the entire time she was shooting! She knows how insecure I am about my chest area, but the photos she took made me feel so beautiful! It was definitely a big help to see myself in a new way!
I had the absolute best time! I left the studio with my cup filled, and my soul feeling refreshed! I can’t say enough amazing things about this whole experience, and would highly recommend it to anyone! You owe this experience to yourself!💕”

⭐️Review of your experience for Angela.:
”Everything exceeded my expectations, Angela - you made me feel so comfortable in my own skin, for once in my life and that feeling you gave me will stay with me forever. I completely appreciate your team, and all of the hard work that goes into creating a beautiful day for someone. I loved laughing with you, and opening up, you make everything so easy and so unbelievably comfortable. Stepping out of my comfort zone, was so worth it!”
⭐️Public review of your experience:
“From start to finish, everything I encountered was flawless. The beauty team, Cici and Katie, were amazing, so talented and easy going! Having them around was a great way to start the morning. Angela was superb, whether it was picking out an outfit in her client closet for me (which is hard to pick from when there’s so many amazing pieces), adjusting my outfit, posing me, or even getting down on the floor to show me how to pose, every single step was so easy, comfortable, and on top of it all it was so much fun! What was supposed to be a gift for my fiancé, truly ended up being a gift for myself too.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
⭐️Public review of your experience:
“Wow! What a wonderful experience!
From the start, hair and makeup was wonderful! The photo portion with Angela was so incredible! She made me feel very comfortable immediately. She was very creative with the poses, and had a such a great sense of humour! The best part about this experience was posing in ways I've never done! It made me feel sexy and strong for my age.
By the end, I felt I liked every part of my body when looking at it through the shots she took! I was completely amazed!!! She knows her stuff and was truly meant for this field of work!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
⭐️Were you nervous about your session?
”Yes, but mainly about how I would look in the outfits, or if I would be able to find something that fit me right in the Client Closet”
⭐️What did you like best about your boudoir experience?
”I loved how easy feeling it was! No pressure. All about comfort. I was there for 4 hours but it definitely did not feel that long! It was truly a one of a kind experience! So much thought goes into every detail to make sure you look your absolute best. Love that!”
⭐️Did the experience help give you a more positive perception of yourself?
”Yes, the whole experience helped me feel more confident in my skin, showed me that I am actually really beautiful, and I don't need to be so critical of myself all the time”
⭐️Overall review of your experience:
”Angela, thank you so much for this experience! It was amazing to be the "center of attention" but not feel awkward about it. Your studio is incredibly beautiful and inviting and is just such a cool place to take the photos. Your attention to detail during photos was amazing, I appreciated all the touch ups with the hair, checking the lighting, and giggling at my smirks. Your encouragement during the photos is what really made it a top notch experience. It's easier to "werk it" when you have that kind of encouragement rather then silence. It is overall a truly boujee experience and I really felt like a queen! I wouldn't change anything that you do, I feel like you have it nailed down to a science!”
⭐️Public review of your experience:
”The team at Velvet Boudoir Studio truly knows how to make you feel like a queen! I recommend this experience to anyone that is looking to treat themselves and to feel like a badass while doing it! I am not the kind of person that enjoys being "uncovered" but I felt very very confident during my session and I didn't really think about that part, you forget about the things that we judge about ourselves the most. Angela was amazing at making sure every detail was perfect, and she is not lying when she says she poses you from head to toe! I have never felt so confident behind the camera, and I’m truly grateful for this whole experience!”

⭐️Public review of your experience:
“My experience with Velvet Boudoir was the best birthday gift I could have ever given myself! My session took place the day before my 42nd birthday and it was the most liberating way to celebrate myself! Angela and her team made me feel so comfortable from the moment I walked in. They were able to see what makes me beautiful, and did everything they could to help me see it too. Going into the session I was nervous and wondered if this was something I should be doing given my age and body, but Angela helped me realize that those are part of what makes me beautiful! Her skill at showcasing the best attributes of yourself is why everyone should book a session with Velvet Boudoir Studio by Angela Speller Photography! I left my session feeling sexy, beautiful, and confident and I think this is something every woman should do for themselves! Thank you again Angela for the whole experience. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate myself turning 42!”

⭐️Did Angela and/or her team help you feel more comfortable and less nervous?

⭐️Did the experience help give you a more positive perception of yourself?
”I definitely did gain a more positive perspective on myself. I will admit I am guilty of spending more time doubting myself and judging myself than loving myself. I find it hard to look in a mirror sometimes and see myself as beautiful. Seeing the photos really helped me feel more confident!”
⭐️Public review of your experience
”Angela is an amazing human and photographer! The whole experience from start to finish was incredible. I felt so comfortable in such a “vulnerable” situation. From getting your hair and makeup done, to picking out different lingerie, it was so much fun! The whole team was so uplifting and positive and I felt so good about myself when I was around them. They truly are the best hype girls around. I would easily recommend Velvet Boudoir to anyone who is considering it! I went into the session saying, “I am incredibly awkward in photos“ and I left feeling blown away by the sneak peeks I saw! I can not wait to see the reveal and gift this to my soon to be husband😊💕”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

”I loved getting to try stuff on from the client closet! I also really loved how Angela went out of her way to make sure I was totally comfortable and that I felt safe.

⭐️Public review of your experience
”Overall, I had an amazing experience! Angela made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. I loved that she continually asked for consent before making any adjustments to my straps, hair etc, it shows how much she cares about her clients comfort and safety.
Angela pays attention to every single detail, and I really felt like the session was important to her. She went out of her way to make sure the shots were perfect, but also gave me time to stretch and relax between difficult poses. I cannot recommend Velvet Boudoir Studio enough! 10 out of 10!”

⭐️Public review of your experience:
“I just want to thank you for giving me the confidence in myself that I’ve never experienced before!❤️
This photoshoot has helped me tremendously! I am so glad our paths crossed. I've become a different person because of it! It was a such fun experience, and so worth it! I’ve gotten so many compliments from the photographs by the way!
I didn’t realize how much I needed this. I never thought of myself as pretty, and you made me feel so special! I wish I had been able to do this years ago. But like they say, better late then never!😊
Thank you so much!”
