The things boudoir clients actually ask about
Drawn from Melody Smith Portrait's own website and its Google reviews — the specifics a listing normally hides.
From the moment we started with make up and hair— she made me feel completely comfortable, confident, and beautiful in front of the camera.
The wardrobe selections, the colors, everything was perfectly me.
Since I’m not a model, I didn’t know how to pose, but Melody was an excellent guide.
In their own words
We chatted, laughed, and I found myself completely at ease, allowing her to capture my essence through her lens.
I was nervous leading up to the session, even reaching out to two friends who had worked with Melody to build my confidence.
I can't tell you what a morale-boosting, confidence-building, age-accepting experience this was for the girl who never felt like she was 'enough' and hated to have her picture taken.
When I saw the portraits for the first time, some of the images held a level of raw honesty I wasn’t prepared for.
She did my hair and makeup, chose outfits for me, and created images that became part of my book cover, website and business assets.
Since I’m not a model, I didn’t know how to pose, but Melody was an excellent guide.
What people say about their session
“While scrolling Instagram one I saw a post from a previous colleague. The pictures were absolutely breathtaking, I kind of gawked at them as I'd not seen her styled quite this way before. She looked strong, stylish but tranquil however so beautiful.”
“Celebrating my 50th birthday felt like the perfect time to book a session with Melody—a timeless reminder of how far I’ve come. Birthdays haven’t always been easy for me; when I was almost 24, I found myself in the ICU, wondering if I would survive.”
“Twelve years ago, I saw this absolutely stunning, artistic, & unique photograph of a friend when she posted online. That’s the first I heard of Melody Smith Portrait. At that time I was still working & busy with high school & college aged children.”
“My daughter recently turned 13. As we all know, this can be a very difficult age for a young woman with the many changes going on at that time in her life. I wanted her to have the opportunity to feel good about herself, have fun, and feel valued. All things I felt when I had a session with Melody.”
