text: Bought a Groupon (boudoir session) and although I read some sketchy reviews online, I decided to try it out anyway. Most of the complaints surrounded the cost to own prints/digital images which I must agree with as I walked out $400 poorer than when I walked in. The entire makeover + session takes about 3 hours. I was there for an additional hour decided on what prints to purchase. \n\nAs for the hair/makeup, the artist was very nice but made me look a little too \"drag queen-esque\" with the dark eyebrows, dark lipliner and dark eyeshadow. I made the mistake of not giving her much guidance on what I wanted but eventually asked her to change a few things when I saw the final result. The photographer was super friendly and a gentleman. He has clearly done it a time or 2 so he makes you feel very comfortable and explains everything as he's going.\n\nAfter the session and 20 minutes of waiting, the receptionist shows you a slideshow of all images plus a few that are retouched. You then go through the show and decide \"yes,\" \"no,\" and \"maybe\" on all images (I let them know upfront that I did not want any prints from them as I would not be displaying these on my mantel or any wall in my home). Based on how many \"yes's\" and \"maybes\" they create a package for you that comes out to $600-1000 for just the digital images (that's if you narrowed it down to 15 images max-probably even more if you can't decide). The packages are at a discount when taking into considering that each digital image is $140 a la carte--but still very expensive.\n\nI knew I only wanted a few as I would not be printing a collage of myself so I went with a slightly discounted package of 4 images, the entire slideshow and a calendar = $399 + tax. Out the door it was about $440 which you can split into 2 payments. Don't get me wrong--the images are great because the photographer does an amazing job and the retouching is excellent. It's also part of a wedding gift so I can justify it. However, I am kicking myself a little for not buying him an engraved iPad instead...
