"I have had 4 different photo shoots with Alayna and I cannot say enough good things. She makes you feel like the most beautiful person in the world and I’m not talking about the make up, she takes your pictures and you see your true beauty. After each shoot I have felt so invigorated and had such a confidence boost. She makes the environment so relaxed and fun, like you have known each other for years."

"From start to finish Alayna is absolutely amazing!! Hair, makeup, wardrobe closet. She poses you when you have no idea what you’re doing. Makes you feel super confident from beginning to end. Talks you through everything. After you leave her you feel amazing and a few hours later when she shows you your photos you will cry tears of joy! You realize how beautiful you really are. Ppl tear themselves down all the time on appearance and Alayna helps to show you how gorgeous you are. You will NOT be disappointed"

"Alayna is HANDS DOWN my favorite photographer I've ever worked with. (Just in general-this is the only boudoir session I've done) she made everything so easy from start to finish. She made me feel welcome and comfortable my entire session, we laughed and talked about mom/wife/house things the whole time. I can't recommend her enough. My favorite part (besides feeling like a baddie all day) was being able to see my photos SAME DAY. Seriously, best investment in myself I've made in a long time."

"Alayna is absolutely amazing♥️ I have had two shoots with her. The first I was beyond nervous, completely stepping out of my comfort zone. But she talked about my life, we connected. Then she posed me and started doing her stuff! When she showed me one of my pictures on the camera during my shoot my confidence went through the roof. She is an absolutely amazing soul with a crazy amount of talent. If this is something you’re considering, just do it! I promise you’ll be obsessed"

"I had a session done with Alayna last year, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY! She MAKES you feel confident, I am not lying!! She guides you every step of the way. She shows you your pictures throughout the shoot and your confidence boost is liberating!! I still remember us looking through my pictures together, and the way she loved my pictures as much as I did, was something I’ll never forget. She listens. Makes you laugh. Makes you so comfortable. The entire experience is the best experience I’ve ever had."

"I had my session today with Alayna and I am beyond excited and happy with the pictures and the experience! I can't stop looking at all my pictures. I was nervous going in, but quickly opened up and had a blast! I felt to comfortable so quick and felt beautiful and amazing the whole time (which is new to me). Thank you so much Alayna! If anyone hasn't booked a session, don't hold back and just book it! You won't regret it!"

"I saw Alayna in 2023 and I have another appointment for November 2025! She made me feel sooo comfortable, from asking what music I wanted to listen to, to what color sheets I wanted on the bed, chatting with me about life and Taylor Swift, and even showing me pictures of myself and hyping me UP throughout the shoot. If you have been thinking of doing a boudoir shoot even a little bit, PLEASE TAKE THIS AS YOUR SIGN TO DO IT!!! I could not believe how good I looked and I can’t wait to see her again."

Seriously, take the day and pamper yourself—you know you deserve it! I promise you won’t regret it!! :)"

"All I have to say is this was a 5 ⭐️ experience! I struggle with eating issues & horrendous body dysmorphia. For the last 5 years I’ve worn nothing but sweats & a hoodie (except for my wedding). There were times during my shoot where I just wanted to cry because for the first time in years, I looked at myself and didn’t want to cry. Alayna made sure to pose me, answer any questions, helped with outfits. I would tell ANYONE and EVERYONE to do a shoot with Alayna. Hands down, best decision I’ve ever made!"

"I have done 2 sessions (1 full, 1 mini) with Alayna and she is absolutely incredible. She makes you feel comfortable and walks you through everything. She also does amazing work. Both times, when I got to view my photos, I couldn’t believe they were me! She leaves in the parts that make you real, but you are the best-looking version of yourself possible. I highly recommend. I definitely plan on doing another one. Maybe summer this time…"

"The day of my shoot I wanted to puke because I was soo nervous but Alayna made me feel so comfortable and excited. You might think that it would be awkward meeting someone for the first time and being half naked in front of them but when I tell you she did not make it weird at all, it was like we had been friends forever! After the first few photos, Alayna showed me some pictures right on her camera and I was shocked! Alayna is so talented and knows all the right angles to make you look your absolute best!"

"I showed my husband my photos while crying and said I did this for him mainly but truly I learned I did this for myself. My husband is OBSESSED with them and can't stop looking at them. And every time he calls me beautiful now I
believe it.
So please if you are hesitant on booking go for it! I never
thought I could do this and I did it! And I have so much
more respect for myself and I love myself so much."

"If you are on the fence about a shoot, do it! My shoot was definitely needed for myself! Being pampered with hair and makeup and then the client closet has so many amazing pieces. She teaches you exactly what to do and in the end, the photos look amazing. I’m someone who had ZERO self confidence and booking definitely helped with that! I’m walking around with a new confidence!!
Honestly though, you won’t you won’t regret it!"

"Throughout the shoot, Alayna was encouraging and directive, I never wondered if I looked okay or if I was doing something right. She showed me photos while she was shooting which made me feel so pretty right in the moment. Never in a trillion years would I think a photo of my biggest insecurity would be my favorite shot of the session. I’ve never seen myself from this kind of perspective, I had real tears come to my eyes after I saw my photos."

"Alayna is seriously the BEST in the business! I’ve never done any type of boudoir before; I was added into her girl’s only FB group by a friend and ended up booking a session a couple weeks later! Alaina is super friendly, makes you feel beautiful and comfortable, and is a very skilled photographer!! I highly recommend her services!"
