The boudoir studio North Carolina Boudoir Reviews
Okay ladies....I have GOT to share some of these AMAZING photos from my shoot with the amazing Brii Camacho. I am so obsessed with these pictures, it's crazy. I wish I could share other ones, but, ya know, Facebook is a prude and doesn't like nudes. I was so, so, SO nervous at first for my shoot. I couldn't imagine trying to look all sexual in front of a camera that someone else was holding, but Brii immediately made me feel super comfortable. The only regret I have is that I didn't book my shoot sooner! I still am in awe of these photos. They make me feel so beautiful and I'm so glad I took that leap during Brii's Black Friday sale and booked my shoot.You all have got to go and get nakie for Brii!
“At first the thought of being photographed half naked in front of someone who was not my wife made me anxious and nervous. But Brii was there for me every step of the way. We met in person weeks before the shoot and talked. We communicated over messenger (I don’t like talking on the phone) and any question I had she would answer rather quickly. Once it was time for the shoot she made me really comfortable. Just her demeanor and goofiness was enough to calm my nerves. Throughout the entire shoot we were joking around and having fun. She instructed me through every pose. And even though she splashed cold water on me for the shower shoot I still think she’s pretty cool lol but seriously, Brii is an amazing photographer and I highly recommend her for your future boudoir shoot!”
I have been trying to come up with the perfect words to describe how much I deeply LOVE this photographer of ours on here. I chose Brii Cher'ri because of her style of photography and the impressive reviews and examples of her work, she was just what I was looking for. I met Brii in a coffee shop, 6 years ago as a matter of fact, and from the first moment I laid eyes on her, I felt a sense of ease. You see, I was setting up my first boudoir photo session with her and I was quite nervous and didn't know what to expect. From the first smile of hers, till now, she knows how to calm the most anxious person with her simple words of, "just relax and let me take control and you have fun with it!" Not only have I had boudoir sessions with Brii over the past 6 years, but I have also had family photos as well. Brii is a truly gifted photographer who was able to capture every single essence of who I am in a subtle but truthful and relaxed way for those whom do not even know me to understand me on a whole new level. When I set up my sessions with Brii now, mostly boudoir, I literally walk into the location, start stripping naked immediately, and we just start talking about anything and everything under the moon! You are not walking into her studio as this person who is just there to get photos done, you are walking into an artists den and waiting for your masterpiece to be created with her!!!!! One thing I can ease your mind with right this second is that I 300% guarantee that you will walk in and out, probably the most satisfied you have ever been in your life!!!!! Do not just sit back and think about it.....JUMP and jump fast because she books up pretty quickly!!! FYI, my next session is already booked and I absolutely CANNOT wait!!!! Brii, thank you for being the amazing artist that you are!!!!! Loves,Miss S
So, to start, I first “officially” met Brii when she hired me to photograph her sweet little guy for his first birthday. I was sooooo honored to be sought out by such a talented and established photographer; as I consider myself a newborn photographer but also document first year milestones and family sessions and continuously doubt my abilities on the daily. Anyways, after that shoot, Brii become somewhat of a mentor for me, coaching me, encouraging me, and kicking me in the tail when needed. And from the beginning, she wanted to know when I was going to do a shoot with her. I kept putting it off, telling her, “when my hair grows out,” or “when I lose all this baby weight.” I did lose some weight eventually but I chopped all my hair off and finally decided that I was just fine the way I was; stretch marks, saggy boobs and all; and putting constraints on my own self image was totally defeating the purpose of empowering myself with the shoot in the first place. Here’s the thing yall. This was TOTALLY out of my comfort zone. I am a prude. I am vanilla. I am not adventurous or relevant. I do feel like I had an advantage since I knew Brii personally beforehand but I just want to give some encouragement to all those in this group who are hesitant because they think they are not “sexy” or “bold” enough. Brii talks you through everything. She tells you exactly how to pose, how to place your hands and hold your mouth, how to make those sensuous expressions. And it was a little awkward at first, but as the session progressed I became more and more comfortable and more and more emboldened. And I have never felt sexier and more feminine. I gave Brii total control; over my makeup, wardrobe, posing, everything; and am so glad I did. It was an amazing experience. So, to finish, don’t wait. Don’t wait till you “look better” or “lose weight.” Don’t hesitate because you’re prudish or nervous. Trust Brii. Let her do her thing. You won’t regret it. And you can always do another shoot if you lose weight, or your hair grows, or your inner sex goddess finds her way to the surface. I can promise you there will be another shoot in my future.”
Brii has been my best friend since 2006. Probably the best summer of my life, it isn’t often that you meet someone that you know for sure will be in your life forever. Soul mate must extend so much farther than romantic love because I know for a fact that no one understands me more than she does. I was there when she started building this business. I watched the struggle but also the passion. And when she found Boudoir it was like she found herself all over again. Her work is beautiful, it is art. I have always played with her that I would never let her photograph me. And I have twice now. I let her do a mermaid photoshoot and now this angel one. My favorite part about shooting with brii is watching her, she brings so much life to the whole process. She made me feel special but also was good about recognizing my insecurities. Even putting on an outfit for me had me in an anxiety struck space. I couldn’t imagine wearing a body suit that barely covered my body. She knows exactly how far to push you out of your comfort zone without putting too much pressure or not enough pressure that you don’t end up with pictures that you love. I wouldn’t wear a two piece, so she didn’t push but she made sure that the one piece I wore made my body look incredible. Going into my session, I was a mess. I said about 15 times that I had changed my mind. I did my make up super slow trying to build up my courage. I didn’t know what it was going to look like or what I was going to look like. It was so abstract. I was so uncomfortable. But brii was there, smiles in her eyes, and encouragement pouring from her mouth. Even when I doubted myself, she never did. I knew I wanted to do a session the moment she told me about the wings. I think it gave me permission to separate being “sexy” from being “something else”. It was me, but not me at the same time. It was almost a crutch. From the moment I put the wings on, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Brii helped me move in them, showed me what to do with my body, told me how to breathe to make my face work the way it needed to. But to be honest, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. I was INCREDIBLY awkward. I moved weird and slow but she was patient. She showed me poses multiple times so I could understand what she wanted from me. She told me I could do things that I never imaged I could do. In my moments of awkwardness she was there to laugh and play with me but also be serious and show me what I needed. She was really aware of my body type and what would look the best. It was like being in a whole new world. She’s my best friend, I know every aspect of her personality. But watching her behind a camera, it was like meeting her all over again. It reminded me of the first time I met her. She exudes so much personality, so much energy. In a session with her, it’s almost like she donates that to you. She lets you take on her energy, brings out your own personality and then gives you a space to see it and be in that moment. Brii has always been a safe place for me. She’s been there since I was a kid, she’s grown with me, but in that moment. She was my best friend but not at the same time. I expect the best from her, because I know she can provide the best. Every single photo she sent me reminded me all over again that she is the best. My fiancé looked at some of the photos she shared and he gushed for days. Asked for one on a huge canvas because it was art. He said he couldn’t believe that I could look like that. Brii made me look like that. She took all of the parts of myself that made me beautiful and poured them into a photograph. She let me see myself in an entirely different way. And that was the most valuable part of my experience. I love my photographs, I will adore them for the rest of my life. But I adore her much more. That session allowed me to see myself the way she sees me. And for that, there is no price tag. Being a boudie babe was great, but being a boudie babe for brii was incredible.
Being a mother of two, like most mothers of two, my body image had been severely damaged over the past 5 years. When I came in for my session I was as nervous as can be. But Brii being Brii, she yanks you from your comfort zone and throws you into this almost surreal world of Body Positivity and Self Love. How could I possibly focus on my stretch marks when she's in my ear squealing over how breathtaking the last shot was? Or how stunning this pose is? Its almost an intoxicating feeling; falling in love with yourself.. And she just keeps pouring you more shots. I left her studio with an entirely different mindset about who I was and how others viewed me. Absolutely incredible experience. - Kara
Before I walked into the studio, I was very nervous. Not about being shot, but about meeting Brii. I'm very shy. When I met her, all that went away, I felt like I already knew her after a few minutes. The session was amazing and empowering. She knows exactly how to make you feel sexy. When I got my photos back, wow! I had been feeling a bit down about my body image because of recent weight gain. I enjoyed my body but not like I used to. BUT when I saw the photographs I was shocked and I couldn't believe it was me in the pictures. Amazing!
"It's been several weeks since my photos shoot with Brii and I have been trying to find the words to describe my experience with her. First of all, I can say without a doubt that this is Briis calling. She was meant to be a boudoir photographer. Not only is she extremely talented but she is skilled in the art of making you feel welcome, comfortable and beautiful. I found myself completely letting go of my inhibitions because she commands the session making you completely trust her, you can tell while she is shooting that you are in excellent hands. She is your own personal cheerleader during your shoot and her energy is contagious. When I saw my images, I was very pleased with the result of her creativity. Beautiful, authentic photos of me that I am so happy to have and will always cherish."
Hey ladies! I wanted to share how my personal experience with Brii was. A little about myself/personality first though so you can fully understand. I am very self conscious. Like I don’t even like for my husband to see me naked. I’ve always had self esteem issues since I can remember. Terribly shy, introvert and socially awkward as hell. I was so scared but excited to book my session with Brii. I have been following her page for a while now and fell in love with how she captures the fierceness and beauty in each woman. At first I had scheduled the session to give to my husband for our 10 yr wedding anniversary, but then I realized that it wasn’t really for him but more for me. After gaining roughly 50lbs, breastfeeding and 2 babies, I needed to feel like a woman again and finally start loving myself and my body. I was nervous as hell at first. I can count on one hand how many people have seen me naked, but with Brii she made me feel like I was amazing just the way I was. I wasn’t self conscious at all during the session. I didn’t take any nude photos but honestly at that time I probably would have posed and not thought twice about it. Brii is hilarious and so down to earth. I had a malfunction and one of my nails broke off during the shoot and we both just laughed like we were old friends. When I saw the pictures I was blown away and almost in tears. The woman in the pictures is sexy, carefree and completely in touch with herself. The whole experience is empowering and I would tell anyone that has thought about scheduling a session with Brii to just do it. You will not regret it at all and personally I’m already wanting to book another session with her (definitely a darker session).
My husband and I have been together for 11 years and married for 6. We’ve always been the ‘boring’ couple who doesn’t typically break our fine tuned routine. We’ve never been ‘adventurous’ so to speak, but wanted to explore ways to feel sexy outside of the bedroom. We met Brii and saw right away that she takes pride in her work and loves making boring couples like us feel like rock stars in front of the camera. This is our first time doing a photo shoot together (since our wedding six years ago) because we’ve always been a little camera shy. This shoot with Brii was a perfect way to capture some intimate images together (and to dress up in some sexy lingerie to boot!) We never once felt uncomfortable at any time and she kept the mood light and kept us smiling during the whole shoot. Brii is a true professional, a badass artist, and we’re lucky to now call her our friend. We can’t wait to shoot with her again.

”There comes a time where you have to step outside of your comfort zone and remember who you are. Not the bullshit face you put on, or the person you SHOULD be, but the person that you are in private or with those that you love and trust. I’ve known Brii for a little over a year now, and it feels like I’ve known her my whole life. I met her because of her ass. Literally. One of the most perfect asses I’ve ever seen in my life, and as a boudoir photographer, that is SERIOUSLY saying a lot. She knew my situation, and she knew that I was going through something very uncomfortable and painful. She talked to me, made me laugh and smile and made me feel like I was important. We met and got in a care to travel 15 hours to Canada together, we laughed, sang, made stupid jokes and went to camp. She insisted I get naked in front of the camera. I had gained back all the weight I lost, plus a little extra thanks to health issues, depression and ultimately a failing marriage. I felt ugly. Undesirable. Worthless. And to be honest, most importantly…. Nothing like myself. How could I bring myself to be naked in front of someone so beautiful? Brii made everything so incredibly comfortable. She made me forget that I am plus size. She made me forget that I am not happy with myself on a normal basis, because in that moment, I was completely happy and satisfied with myself. She didn’t treat me differently because I am plus size. She just saw me, in the way that Brii sees people – As raw, stripped down and completely beautiful because of who they are. Since then, Brii and I have shot many a time. I have been blessed to photograph her all over the Eastern seaboard and to become part of her life and family. Most recently, I went through the darkest period of my life. I lost myself. I pulled back from every friend I had, except my work friends and I even took time from photography. I was giving up on myself, lost in a failing marriage and the toll it was taking on who I am as a person. Brii never gave up on me. She kept reminding me how beautiful I am and how I deserve to be loved by more than someone else – I deserve to be loved BY myself! My marriage has resulted in separation and soon divorce, but I am more myself now than I have been in years, some of thanks in part to Brii and the magic she works. She and I shot recently, and for the first time in my entire life, I accepted who I am right now – weight and all. She coaxed a part of me out that I am not sure I’ve ever seen on film and helped me to shine – quite literally. When I saw sneak peaks of the session, I didn’t see my stomach. I didn’t see the weight. I saw my smile. I saw my eyes. I saw happiness and love. I got a chance to look past the hurt and the loss I have felt and I got to see ME. I have loved every session I’ve had with Brii, but the most recent session took me to a place that I didn’t know I could go ever again. I can’t wait to display these. I’ve picked out a few shots that I need metal prints of, because seeing them make me feel ALIVE. Please don’t do like I did. Please don’t let yourself hide away. You deserve to be documented and to be a part of everything. If there is ever a person to show you how the world sees you, it’s Brii. Thank you for showing me how the world sees me.”
Brii is a miracle worker!! I always obsessed over everything she posted and wanted to do a shoot with her but had every excuse in the book to put it off for years. Then when she came to NY for just a week, I knew I had to seize my window of opportunity! I can't say enough good things. I had a great time and the photos are to die for. I was afraid I would be a bad "model" but Brii gave me all the direction I needed, even demonstrating poses for me. I had no boyfriend or husband to do this "for," I just did it for me and I am so glad I did. Don't pass up the chance to book a session with her, you won't regret it.
I was completely nervous from the beginning. I wasn't sure if I really wanted to do this, wasn't sure what outfits to bring, and thought I was going to look competely hideous! And let me tell you, Brii is truly amazing! She literally helps you every step of the way from suggesting where to shop for outfits and helping calm your nerves and making you feel comfortable. So, the day of the shoot came and I was beyond nervous but from the second I walked in, Brii was very welcoming and nice, I felt like we could sit and talk for hours! She absolutely made me feel like a bombshell with hair and makeup and definitely has gift for making you look stunning in your photos! I honestly walked out feeling great and like I had gained a new friend. I was very pleased!! She is truly talented and makes her clients feel like they are the most beautiful people in the world!
I was so excited for my second boudoir shoot with Brii! We chatted a little about how we were going to go more dark and sexual than the last shoot I had done. Going into the shoot I was slightly nervous yet SO very excited to see what she wanted out of the shoot and how far she pushed my comfort zone. Getting near (or completely) naked in front of someone else has the power to bring all your insecurities to light but, Brii is always there making sure you know just how AMAZING you look through the entire process. I love being able to trust the vision that Brii has for The Boudoir Studio and the empowerment you feel during and after a shoot. Afterwards, having the photos to look back on is a constant reminder of how badass you can be!
