This was my first time doing something like this and from the start to finish but was an amazing experience and the best thing I have done for myself! I worked with Brianna and it was so much fun it was such a please working with her it was like a girls day / night I felt so comfortable. My hair and my make up was on point and beautiful it was perfect - I felt so amazing, I really felt like I was out with the girls- oh my goodness I loved it! I will be going to her again.
I felt comfortable with everything and completely blown away by the photo reveal
Thank you Julia Kay for this amazing opportunity

I don't have words to describe how amazing Julia Kay Boudoir is. From start to finish I was so impressed! The responsiveness of the team leading up to the shoot, the little extras like the silk robe and champagne, to the amazing photos I got to see just a couple days later. Every step of the way they made me feel like a VIP and eased my nerves. They are definitely your hype girls during the shoot too. Being a new mom, and at my heaviest weight ever, and having just turned 30, I was so nervous to book - but they erased that doubt and made me feel like a goddess. Every woman deserves to see

I can't speak highly enough of Julia and Brianna! They are a super sweet and funny team. This was my first boudoir shoot and I felt super comfortable from the moment I entered the studio until we wrapped up! Julia explained all the poses to make them super easy - I had no idea my body to move in those ways, and the resulting photos are beautiful. Julia really knows how to capture your beauty between the little moments. The final photos are absolutely stunning! I couldn't recommend them more!

This was my SECOND time going back to Julia and Brianna and I could not be happier that I did another shoot with them!! I did the Wet and Wild mini session and the photos turned out beyond amazing (yet again). Even though it was my second session, they still helped me through every pose, adjusted my hair/shirt, and made sure I was very comfortable and that every photo was perfect! I will continue to recommend Julia Kay Boudoir to everyone I know because the experience is so empowering. Julia and Brianna hype you up the entire time while making you laugh, and you will feel like an absolute goddess

I am going to start by saying DO IT. There is no better way to reward yourself for being such a powerful woman than to do a boudoir shoot. From this experience, I 100% believe the team that works with you is the key to getting the best results and by best results, I mean, being able to fully let go of any insecurities and going all out, being able to grow and see yourself as the beautiful human you are and of course having the best high quality photos to capture those moments. Julia and Brianna is the best team to achieve those three things! Their overwhelming support and words of encouragement

I can't speak highly enough of Julia and Briahna. I looked all over southern Ca and their quality is unmatched. I am a photographer that offers a luxury experience to my clients so I was so excited to find someone else that offers the same. They have an HMUA on site and a full client closet with sizes ranging from small to plus size. I was so nervous about my body before the shoot that I cried on the phone with Briahna. She was so kind and so encouraging. Julia is so talented and knows all the best angles. I thought for sure I would want a bunch of photoshop done but when I had my zoom reveal

I am so happy I finally bit the bullet and did a boudoir photoshoot but I am even more thankful I found Julia! It was the best experience and I highly recommend Julia and her team. Julia was so down to earth but more importantly felt so beautiful! After reviewing the photos, I couldn't believe it was me. So excited to share with my fiancé the day of our wedding :)

After having my daughter a few years ago I struggled with my confidence after seeing so many changes with my body. A combination of that feeling and being a bigger person in general, I was a little worried to do a boudoir shoot but I am SOOO glad that I did. Julia and Brianna made me feel so comfortable and are honestly the most amazing hype women I have ever met. Then seeing my husband’s reaction to the photos was amazing! I would wholeheartedly recommend them and already have to several of my friends.

What started out as a surprise birthday gift for my husband, transformed into a gift for me! The thought of doing a session initially terrified me, but once I spoke with Brianna over the phone to book my session, I felt way more at ease. And even more so on the day of my shoot. My appointment began with hair and makeup with Lex who is brilliant at her work. Not just her skill but her kindness and how we connected made my experience amazing. After hair and make up, my session was photographed by Brianna. I LOVE HER! Brianna is immensely talented. Her incredible direction and how she composed

Julia truly is an artist! She goes above and beyond to provide a safe and welcoming studio, both in terms of strictly following COVID protocol and also "safe" in terms of creating a space where all women's bodies are celebrated. Her client closet is absolutely amazing. From the very beginning, Brianna welcomed me as I got pampered, and hand selected some beautiful pieces for me to try on. I enjoyed the champagne while getting my hair and makeup done. Throughout the entire process, Julia made me feel comfortable and walked me through each step. By the end, I felt super confident and was so glad

Was hesitant to try a boudoir shoot after experiencing one closer to home that was less then impressive. I am so incredibly happy I did a shoot with Brianna. It was amazing! I’m so happy with my pictures and am even more excited to get my album to give my husband for our 10 year wedding anniversary. She made me feel incredibly sexy. Huge selection of lingerie to pick from. Very responsive and super patient when having a hard time picking photos. I strongly recommend!!! It’s really empowering and you won’t be disappointed!

I have always wanted to do a boudoir shoot and I am so happy that I picked Julia to do mine! She is located in Claremont in a beautiful studio. I reached out to Julia to ask about her pricing as well as options and she replied really fast! She was so detailed orientated with her process! She emailed me a to do list prior to the shoot as well as provided any helpful tips.
During the day of the shoot, they do give you a covid test which was painless and the results showed up in 15 minutes. Brianna was also super friendly and personable! She eased My nerves with some mimosas and helped me select

Every woman needs to do a Boudoir photo session at least once in her life and I'm SO glad I chose to do it with Julia.
The entire experience was wonderful. Julia and Brianna were both super responsive when I had questions about booking. On the day of my shoot, I was so excited because I knew I was in great hands. The champagne certainly helped too. They truly go above and beyond to make every woman feel comfortable, spoiled, and empowered.
TBH, I did the shoot more for me than anything else and I hope to do it again in the future. There's nothing more liberating than celebrating our

Julia did amazing for me. I bought my own lingerie to wear and decided to go with what she had in her closet instead. Don't sweat that detail...She has you covered! Hair and makeup was amazing. The shoot was great. Julia makes you feel comfortable and confident. The photos came out amazing. Well worth every dollar I spent!

After my photoshoot I realized that I should've been a model (a plus size one) lol jk that's definitely how Julia makes you feel.
I booked the photoshoot as a gift for myself - for a bday milestone. I was super excited leading up to the day, and then the morning of, I was sooooo nervous and thought to myself "what in the world did I get myself into?"
I'm so glad I did it. I have not seen the proofs, but throughout the shoot Julia would show me the pics on her camera. OMG I could not believe that was me. I was ready to quit my day job. The pics looked soooooo good that

Just had my Boudoir Session a couple days ago and I cannot stop ranting about it. I scheduled this shoot as a gift to myself, and I absolutely encourage all women from all walks of life to book one!!! From the second I walked in the door, I seriously felt like I walked into my best friend's house - Julia, Brianna, and Lex are an awesome team.
I thought I was going to be nervous and shy at first, but NOPE.. like I said, Best Friends! They are professional, and SO MUCH FUN!! Thank you, ladies for making me feel and look so dang hot! I cannot wait for the photo reveal!!! (Julia showed me a few

This was my very first time working with Julia and her team and OOOHHH MYYY MYYYY! I had THE BEST TIME doing something sexy and empowering and FUN for myself! I appreciated how they offered me a choice of champagne or mimosa as I walked through the door. I was greeted with kindness and I felt like I was just hanging out with my girlfriends. Oh you know, just hanging out getting my makeup done, chatting about life, listening to music, and having my girlfriends behind me and empowering me to let loose and reveal my sultry side as they capture it on camera. It was the best time, and I am instantly

If you're considering a boudoir photoshoot, look no further. Julia Kay Boudoir combines professionalism, aesthetics, sensuality, comfort, freedom, and fun all-in-one. I gained an incredible one-stop-shop experience working with their associate photographer. The moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by a beautifully decorated space with natural lighting. I was offered a mimosa and change of clothes right before my makeup session. The makeup artist was professional and talented. After my makeup session, I picked various options from the client closet for my photos. The photographer

Julia and her team are so amazing! The whole experience was great and I had so much fun. Julia and Brianna were helpful and are seriously your cheerleaders throughout the entire process. They have a lot of options for lingerie available and I was able to try on and pick pieces that I loved and fit me perfectly. I was definitely awkward and stiff at first, but Julia and Brianna talked me through everything and made me feel so comfortable.
I was able to see the pictures a week later and my mind was blown. Julia made me look soo good, I couldn't believe it was me. I ended up adding photos to

Julia and her team are absolutely top-notch. The makeup artists she uses are highly skilled. Luz did my hair and makeup and I felt absolutely stunning with the work she had done.
Julia and Brianna are great team and they love to laugh and have a good time! They really made me feel comfortable throughout the shoot and I appreciated how Julia would take time to walk me through poses herself in between shots. She has a great way of working with you where you're at while also encouraging you to be creative with the time and space you have. Not only that, but after seeing my photos, it is evident

Julia and her staff are amazing! I was greeted with champagne (my favorite!) to enjoy while getting my makeup done. I can be reserved and a little shy, but the studio environment was super relaxing and the girls are really fun to chat with which made the experience so fun and memorable. I really loved my makeup look as well, and Julia and Brianna were excellent at helping me feel sexy, secure and confident during the photo session! Reviewing the pictures was very much a curated process and we took our time making sure we chose the best of the best pictures for my photo book! I cannot wait to pick

I had been looking for a boudoir photographer for a few months before I found Julia Kay Boudoir. I looked all over LA and OC and then one day I thought, let me look near me...and what do you know, one of the best boudoir photographers and studio is 5 minutes away from me! I had never done anything like this before, but I was a member of a Brides of 2021 Facebook group and everyone kept mentioning boudoir shoots. I already got married but figured, what a nice present this would be for my husband AND ME. I had lost 15 pounds during quarantine and had been wanting to find a way to document this moment
