Testimonials

I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a boudoir  shoot for the holidays. First, let me state how accommodating and fun, the process was to work with Layra for this gift idea!


I knew I wanted to use Layra’s services because I had seen her incredible work through social media and I am so grateful that I did! Our shoot turned out amazing and was so much fun to do. Layra instantly made us feel so at home.

Ms. A & Ms. K

Being able to have outfit changes was truly the cherry on top!


I wanted a mix of experiences in my photo shoot . Sexy, sensual and playful. My album is BEAUTIFUL.


This is a form of self care for me. And being able to capture myself as I am- RAW.


I am SO looking forward to my next one.

Ms. Lo

I wanted boudoir photos to remind me how powerful, beautiful and sexy I am...even as the world tells me that I'm not because I'm a larger Black woman. As I've done the inner work to heal my relationship with my body, I wanted to do a shoot for the experience as well as the resulting photos.


Layra not only created a loving space for us (not just me, but herself too!) to harness our sacred feminine power and beauty, but she leverages her keen eye to capture to most breathtaking images!

Testimonials

During the shoot, she made sure to incorporate all my ideas but also brought a lot of different ideas to the table about different poses, types of shots, locations/backgrounds, etc.


Layra has amazing energy and is so positive to be around which made the entire shoot super fun from start to finish. She turned around the edited shots within 12 hours and I am in love with the final result!


I highly recommend working with Layra and have recommended her to multiple friends of mine.

Grace m.

Hands down the best photographer I know.


She's professional, prompt, and makes her clients feel at ease.


Helped me get some excellent shots for my brand relaunch.


If I could give her more stars I would. Book her and won't regret it.

Adrinne M.

Layra’s directing and asking me a few simple questions turned into me going as far as I did and creating the beauty that she captured. And When I saw all the photos I was so emotional because I’ve NEVER seen myself in this light before and at 40…it was amazing!


Her energy and patience helped change my thought processs for this entire shoot and because of her I pushed myself and SO grateful that I did! Most memorable 1st session and I wouldnt have changed anything about it!!
