This stunning client leans into a sexy boudoir session, and the results are amazing! She wanted to give her firefighting hubby the gift of a lifetime for his 40th birthday, so she booked a session with us. Little did she realize we would be hit with a pandemic and she’d go weeks without seeing her husband because of his work schedule. So when she came in, she knew she wanted to knock his socks off. Prettyyyy sure we accomplished that.

I’ll never pressure you to share your images - that is a completely personal decision and not for me to decide. But, nonetheless, I love it when a client says ‘YES, you can share anything you want on your blog’. Be still my happy heart.
Happy Friday, friends!! :)
Anonymous, In Her Own Words ::: Orange County Boudoir ::: Grace and Lace Boudoir
We love when clients take the time out of their day to write a review for us. Not only does it help bolster our own ego, ;) , but it also really helps future clients who might be on the fence or are really nervous before their own session. Reading words from actual clients help make it all the more real for them.
Miss R - In her own words…
“I was recommended to Grace and Lace Boudoir by a few friends as I sought out advice on a Groom’s gift for my fiancé, now husband :)
I was super nervous and all I had done was book the appointment! This is something totally out of my element and not anything I would have ever dreamed of doing. I started to feel better because the email I received back was friendly and very informative. I seriously must have read it 50 times in the weeks leading up to my session.
The day finally arrives, and there’s a cute sign on the door welcoming me. Music was playing and they offered me a drink, which totally helped me relax and feel comfortable. Sarah is hands down the best hair and makeup artist in existence! Her work is seriously amazing, and thank God because there’s no way I would have been able to do what she did. I was so sad when I finally had to wash my face later that day haha. Jeni was encouraging, direct, and so patient! She showed me exactly how to pose and was patient with me when I was like, no my body doesn’t do that or as I asked multiple times what she meant lol. After we were finished, I was surprised at how easy they made it for me, and that I actually had fun doing it! You really kind of appreciate yourself for being bold and daring and having that confidence to just do it.
The day I viewed my photos, I literally could not believe that they were of me. Like completely shocked and surprised and sooo excited at the same time! The photos came out so incredibly amazing. Like my jaw dropped at how phenomenal they turned out. I can’t thank Sarah enough for making me look amazing and Jeni for shooting at all the right angles! These two women are AWESOME and this is definitely an experience every woman should try!”
Putting some SPICE back into the relationship:::Orange County Boudoir
This beautiful soul is a new mama and came in hoping to put some spice back into her relationship. I thought it was so sweet of her to do this for her man. Jeni and I know, it is HARD being a new mom and also trying to keep that romance alive in the relationship. So props to this Badass mama for putting romance first.
In her own words…
I feel like I owe a huge THANK YOU to both Jeni and Sarah. First of all, trusting strangers with your body is a bit mind-consuming on top of being well aware my own body didn't look the same as it used to since I was 5 months postpartum. I wanted to bring myself alive again not only for the sweet man who I am gifting this but for my self-confidence to inch its way back into our love life.
Both Jeni and Sarah handled every aspect of my experience with grace, warmth, support, encouragement, and fun! They carry themselves with both professionalism and a laid-back attitude. Which for me was huge because I didn't know what the hell I was doing, I know I just wanted to do it.
On top of it all, I felt beautiful. I felt wanted. I felt like I could bring that fire that was ignited into my relationship again without the insecurity completely overtaking the moment. I so appreciate both the women for creating a memory with me and also an epic experience for my boyfriend to have forever!
I will definitely be recommending Grace and Lace to all my girlfriends and I absolutely can't wait to do it again!
Loving our Stretch Marks ::: Orange County Boudoir ::: Grace and Lace Boudoir
We always send out a questionnaire before your session to make sure we tailor the session to fit you. One of the questions asks if there is anything you’d like me to help conceal during your shoot with strategic posing … most clients will answer they’d like to hide stretch marks, etc. But NOT this stunner … she asked for her stretch marks (she refers to them as her tiger stripes) to be accentuated. I love that confidence and I was happy to oblige. I love that she is normalizing what 99% of women have on their bodies. Thick or thin, we all got ‘em. We should all learn to love ‘em more!
