Client Closet

Our Client Closet is filled with over a thousand pieces ranging in size from XS-5XL. This closet is available to all our clients for their sessions. 

We will spend about one to two hours, depending on your collection, taking your portraits. 

When we are happy with everything, we will have you get dressed and then we will sit down together to look over your images. This is the HARD part. You will have so many beautiful images to go through. It really is tough to narrow them down so most ladies always end up purchasing more. 

Per the contract, I ask that you please allow up to three weeks for the return of any digital files. If you have prints or products, there is an extended time above the initial three weeks. I do hand edit each photo carefully and we go over all of that and what you like best when we are deciding on your photos. 

That’s it. Just leave the rest up to us. We look forward to meeting you and helping you feel beautiful and confident. 

The Process

we are so hard on ourselves and try to live up to completely unrealistic expectations that can be thrown in our faces & make us think we are less than perfect. Girls... you ARE perfect. And, after a photoshoot, I promise you that you will finally be able to not only see that but FEEL that. Your spouse will undoubtedly adore the photographs, as will you. And I promise you the inner fire that she's able to ignite is something that she not only captures on camera but is something you deserve to feel. 

As women...

You are so worth it.

First and foremost, THANK YOU! Thank you for giving me something that I couldn't give myself for many many years...confidence and self-love. I walked in literally with shaking hands and negative thoughts of I would’nt be as beautiful as other women, I'd be judged, I’d feel silly, etc. But within mere minutes I was at ease and your amazing ability to make women feel beautiful not only calmed my nerves but also made any negative thoughts disappear. The makeup, hair, lingerie, lighting,...it all makes you look absolutely beautiful but it's the inner beauty that begins to grow and that was something that I had lost. Your gift allowed me to not only feel beautiful but also to really deep down KNOW that I was beautiful. To accept and love my body, embrace it and be proud of it. As all women should!

Also, to any women that are thinking of doing a shoot with Marlayne....go now. Don't let your own negative thoughts get in the way of such an amazing experience that will leave you feeling on top of the world. A million times thank you, D

This is the hardest review I’ve ever written, but only because, I want people to truly understand how amazing this experience is. You walk into a room with two women that immediately make you feel welcome and confident. They do your hair and make up to bring out the best in you, they make you laugh, they make you come out of your shell, and they make you feel like you’re on top of the world. They help you find an outfit, or object, that suits your body and they pose you from head to toe during your shoot. Then, just when you feel like your day couldn’t possibly get any better, you sit next to Marlayne and look at jaw dropping images of yourself, and wonder if that’s really you. 

I came in happy with myself, but I left loving myself, smiling, and feeling brand new. Every woman should treat themselves to this experience. Your height, weight, and body type don’t matter at all when you step into this room. You WILL NOT regret doing this...... but you will leave trying to figure out when you’ll be able to come back!

My experience with Marlayne and Stephine has changed my life. As a “full figured” woman, I have struggled with self acceptance. Marlayne taught me to love my body and myself as a whole. They both poured into me and helped me to empower myself. The journey I am on to self discovery started the day I signed my contract. My pre consultation left me feeling very excited and ready to do the damn thing. I had no expectations coming into my session, however it was AMAZING. Following my session, I left on such a high and it flat out inspired me to really get to know myself. I was so full of love, I was pouring it out EVERYWHERE. I recently had my second session with Marlayne and Stephine and I didn’t think the photos could get any better, especially for being a mere five months apart. This last session BLEW MY MIND. Marlayne’s creativity in the studio is ever growing. From new client closet pieces to the different options and designs of all the rooms. Any woman would be hard pressed to not fall in love with herself after her session whether it’s for the first time or the hundredth time. I left that day feeling like I had two new best friends who are continually supportive and uplifting.

Your talent and studio is one of the best in VA! So many different scenes/backgrounds to choose from. Why I only trust YOU to photograph me!

As a photographer myself, I know exactly what I want in a session. You’ve killed it EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have had several sessions with Marlayne. All of women have insecurities but TRUST the process and amazing professionals, have FUN and let your guard down.

You’d be surprised how many times you feel like you’re in an awkward pose but then you see the image(s) and your mind is blown because it’s absolutely amazing! I love that you offer so much to your clients. Marlayne and Stephine really care about their clients.

Where to begin? Marlayne and Stephine are nothing short of incredible. From the moment I entertained the idea of booking a boudoir shoot, Marlayne was available for a consultation and continuous Q&A. Leading up to my appointment, Marlayne and Stephanie provided support and encouragement through their social media platforms. On the day of my shoot, I was blown away by their level of professionalism and the quality of the studio, client closet, and makeup products. I am so grateful for their attentiveness, patience, and kindness that they put into my boudoir experience. I would choose them ten times over again if I had the opportunity. 

Thank you for bringing my vision to life and for capturing the best photos I could have asked for.
