“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.”
MISS K
“My husband and I did a couples session with Alayna, and it was one of the best experiences we’ve had!! She made us feel safe, comfortable, and so wonderful! She did my hair and makeup and made me feel so beautiful! She captured our love in such an intimate way and really went above and beyond making us feel special! We can’t wait to do another one!”
A & C
“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.”
MISS V
“I've been wanting to do a boudoir shoot for awhile and kept putting it off because of how insecure I was about my body, and nervous for someone else to see. Alayna made me feel so welcome. I originally thought I wouldn’t get nude because I was so insecure, but I got very comfortable very fast. I drove over an hour for this shoot and i'm beyond thrilled with the pictures and they are beyond what I was thinking they would be. I can’t wait for my fiance to see on our wedding day. It’s also a reminder to us ladies not to be so hard on ourselves.”
MISS J
“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!”
MISS T
“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.”
MISS L
“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”
MISS A
“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.”
MISS L
“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!”
MISS M
“I saw Alayna in 2023 and 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.”
MISS P
“Hair, makeup, client closet…Belle Etoile has it all! Alayna is super sweet and makes all of your nerves go away. She poses you and makes you feel completely beautiful in your skin, even if you’re normally not. Amazing service, beautiful photos, and same day photo reveal?! Seriously, take the day and pamper yourself—you know you deserve it! I promise you won’t regret it!! :)”
MISS M
“Alayna is amazing! She is so good at posing you and making you feel comfortable and confident! I would recommend her 1000 percent! I have worked with many photographers and she is my favorite!”
MISS C
“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!”
MISS J
“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…”
