Whatever your starting point, I will walk with you to a new path, leading you to a sexier, happier, more confident you. My boudoir photography will amaze. No, instead boudoir photography should be empowering enough to influence your life outside of the studio in such a way that you begin to understand style & substance.
Erotic, yet fashionable. I guess what I am saying here is that although it informs your self confidence and much more, boudoir should also have its place. Build amazing confidence with a friendly, loving, supportive, and rather experienced photographer. When you leave your shoot, you will look and feel amazing, sexy, and just YOU.

I would highly recommend Vivian Muse. What an amazing experience, Julia is kind, knowledgeable, fabulous at what she does. I was sexy and beautiful under her direction. I looked all over the DFW area for pictures like I saw on Vivian Muse website just didn’t see what I was looking for after seeing her work. Definitely worth the drive to Austin.
If you have ever struggled with body images let me say this!!! We can think we look one way however seeing yourself through the lens of someone’s eye…. You really haven’t seen yourself. Julia changed the way I see myself now.

Vivian conducted a boudoir photo shoot with me several years ago and I was extremely satisfied with the results. My husband and I loved my photos. I would recommend Vivian she is very professional and makes you feel really comfortable. She also has beautiful photo album’s for your pictures. She lets you do any type of photos that you are comfortable with. I promise that you u will not regret the experience.
I am also considering another photo shoot.

My experience with Julia was amazing and changed me in a wonderful way. My 30's have been a journey of finding out who I really am and this experience helped with that in a major way. Julia has a gift that goes far beyond just taking pictures. She uses that gift to capture the very essence of a person and makes you see how uniquely beautiful you really are. I am recommending her to everyone I know.

Julia is excellent at her craft! Her studio is so dreamy and romantic, it sweeps you away into fantasy. She did a great job easing my nerves, since I'm her Aunt, but we ended up with some stunning pictures to mark my 50 year old milestone. I recommend getting your pictures done in all stages of your life from your 20's on up so you have a professional collection of yourself to reflect upon. Don't put it off another day, book with Julia and see just how beautiful you are!

I found Vivian's Muse from Yelp when I was searching for the perfect photographer to capture my sexy side for my husband's birthday present: a book of bodoiur photos of me! I spoke with Julia on the phone and loved her energy and ideas. The shoot was great. Julia took hundreds of amazing shots. She also recommended I let my husband watch the shoot and help pic out the photos, which we've done. He said it's a birthday he will never forget! Thanks Julia. I'm looking forward to meeting with you to pick the final photos for his book.

I enjoyed this experience with Julia so much! She made me so comfortable and the pictures turned out more amazing than I could have hoped. She is truly talented! My husband was ecstatic with the book, and said it is the best present I will ever give him. Worth every penny! Every woman should do this for herself. It is empowering!

Really enjoyed my experience at Vivians Muse. Julia is a very passionate and confident artist who delivers fantastic photos. I was very comfortable the entire time and with Julia's direction I didn't have to worry or overthink anything. Julia listened to all of my concerns and ideas and helped me choose my wardrobe to create a very cohesive and flattering photo shoot. I am so excited to receive my book and give it to my husband for Valentines Day!

Julia is AMAZING! I decided to do boudoir photos as a gift to my fiancé on our wedding day. I had my session with Julia yesterday and I'm still coming off the high as I write this review. The experience was EVERYTHING I could have hoped for and so much more.
Julia instantly put me at ease and made me feel completely comfortable and sexy the whole session! The photos absolutely blew me away and I CANNOT WAIT to give them to my guy when we say I do. Julia is professional, welcoming, and the perfect lady to take your photos for you. I don't live in Austin and Julia was great about working

Julia is just AMAZING! She got back with me in early March, apologized about our miscommunication with the 'package' I purchased, and she sent me ALL of my digitals!
Julia is a wonderful woman! I honestly did not expect this, and my boyfriend got a second Christmas!
I'm still in "aw" over myself in these photos!
If you're looking for a sweet treat for your significant other, or yourself, I HIGHLY recommend you contact Julia for an experience of a lifetime! She helps you find your inner goddess, and helps you know how beautiful you truly are!

Julia is WONDERFUL!!! We met prior to our session to pick out which lingerie would be used during our shoot and she took a lot of time to explain what to expect. On the day of the shoot, the experience at Milk and Honey for my hair/makeup was very smooth and they did a terrific job. I walked out feeling sexy and great. Julia was very organized, professional and personable. I felt extremely comfortable with her and she guided me through the shoot with encouraging words, suggestions and compliments. At the end of our session, she picked out about 500 images to view. I was amazed at how beautiful

Omg! My wife surprised me with my very own "little black book". She is very conservative and shy, so this whole thing was a complete shocker.. A very good shocker (sneaky grin). The quality and class..i stress "class" is amazing!!! This has added a significant amount of spice to things to say the least.

So I decided to get some pictures done before everything heads south. For those of you past 25, you know what I mean. I didn't do it for the hubby, but for myself, my birthday was coming up, another year added to the many and it was time. I'm so glad I did!
Julia was great all the way around, from helping me find a place to get my hair done to helping with my makeup so it would look right for the photos. As for being uncomfortable about not having a whole lot of clothes on, it was not a problem. She makes you feel so comfortable, and no I don't go walking around naked all

Had such an amazing experience! Christy made me feel so comfortable and beautiful during the photo shoot and took AMAZING pictures. She's extremely talented. I never thought I could look like that! The prints I chose came out so great that I also had Julia (the owner) design a book of all my favorite photos. It's INCREDIBLE! Each photo is beautifully edited and placed in a professional black-cover book that I love!

When I initially decided to do this type of photo shoot, I was nervous. Didn't know where to go who to ask and what kind of questions to ask. But I knew I wanted to do it...for myself... Boy am I glad I found Julia. She's an amazing photographer and a ball of spunk full of excitement. I've never had someone I meant once make me feel comfortable as she did. She walked me through the entire process and I was so nervous but she made it fun, exciting, and exhilarating!!! The pictures I've seen of her work and of myself ....COMPLETELY AMAZING!

My experience working with Julia was absolutely amazing! From the first consultation Julia made me feel completely comfortable, even though I was extremely nervous. She went above and beyond what I expected and helped me through every part of the process from helping me decide which outfits looked best, offering ideas on hair and makeup, coaching me during the photo shoot (to make sure I was hitting the best angles/poses) and even after helping me decided which photos to use my book. She took so many great ones it was hard to choose (a problem I never thought I would have)! I originally booked

About six months ago I got it in my head I wanted to do a boudoir shoot. I am in no way a classic candidate - 57 years old, 6 feet tall, boy body, nobody's idea of a pinup girl. Did my google searching for photographers in Houston and contacted about a dozen. Perhaps half responded they weren't available, and half didn't respond. However, one adorable young lady in Austin (3 hours away), Julia Vie of Vivian's Muse, said she was very excited about shooting me! We exchanged several emails about the process and logistics and had an extended phone chat. My trepedation morphed into

Working with Julia was truly amazing. I was a little nervous when I initially decided to do a boudoir shoot, but she made me feel comfortable, confident and sexy from the moment I walked into her studio. With her talent, professionalism, and artful eye, she was able to capture this wonderful experience better than I could have ever imagined. I not only have a little black book of stunning photos to commemorate the moment, but a renewed self confidence as well. Thanks, Julia!

As a special treat for my sweetheart, I took the brave step of purchasing a Groupon for a Vivian's Muse photography package. I really had no idea what to expect, but once I saw the website, I was sold. At first, I couldn't decide whether to have my guy accompany me to the shoot, but I did end up bringing him and I am so glad I did.
The whole experience was amazing, from the moment Julia Vie opened the door to her sumptuous studio, until we wrapped up and I re-emerged from her plush bathroom/dressing area in regular street clothes once again.
What happened in between was an extraordinary

Julia is amazing! My boudoir photo shoot experience went above and beyond my expectations. I was so nervous, but she made me feel at ease, confident and sexy. I recommend EVERY women do this at least once in her life time. If you live in Austin, you should book with Julia! You will not be disappointed. I have already scheduled another session with her. She IS that good. Thank you Julia for making me feel and look beautiful.

What can I say? Boudoir photography is boudoir photography. What makes Vivian's Muse awesome is Julia, the photographer. She makes a potentially UNCOMFORTABLE experience an awesome, natural, exciting one. I am generally a reserved person but this has always been something I thought would be fun. For multiple reasons, I took the "jump" this summer and couldn't be happier. You don't have to worry about looking great. Julia keeps an eye out for your best angles/shots while making you feel beautiful and talking you through/calming you down the whole thing. If you've ever considered a boudoir photoshoot

Julia is a true artist in every sense of the word. She has her studio set up in multiple areas to create a wide variety of shots from fun and sassy to serious and sexy. While you are doing your shoot she is very much into what makes you look the best not just a standard pose. Once the pictures are captured, the eye that Julia has for editing is impeccable! Now I not only have a renewed love of my body but an amazing book of pictures to remind me just how beautiful I am.

I've been thinking about doing a boudoir shoot for awhile and since my husband's birthday is coming up I decided to book a shoot as a nice little birthday present for him (and for me). Like fellow Yelpers, I was very nervous and felt extremely self-conscious about the shoot especially since I've never done anything like this before but Julia really made me feel at ease.
I'm sure she does this to everyone but the whole time she made me feel really sexy and beautiful by telling me I had a great body, a pretty face and etc. which made me really come out of my shell. She showed

Julia was definitely meant for this business! She has an amazing eye for lighting, angle, and poses. Her photos are very elegant and completely tasteful.
I purchased a Groupon for a boudoir shoot with my first wedding anniversary in mind ("paper" is the theme). I've never been a lingerie kind of gal, but my husband is, so I wanted to surprise him. Naturally I was feeling a little insecure and nervous when I first walked in, but Julia made me feel right at home. She was very reassuring, and directed me very carefully to get the most flattering angles. She even showed me some preview
