This is the second time I have done a boudoir photo shoot with Janell and Ryan. They are amazing!! They make you feel so comfortable and they are so easy to have fun with and joke around. It makes the whole experience that much more enjoyable!!! They have such an eye for details and every shoot, costume, pose and decor is always so perfect!!! I will use them again for sure!!!!

My experience with Luxe-Boudoir was nothing short of amazing. Both photographers made me feel comfortable and confident during my shoot. They gave easy to understand directions on how to pose for my best results given my body type, and their set was beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised that there so many great shots (I'm no model, lol) that it was hard to chose which ones to purchase. Luxe-Boudoir is worth the investment and I would not hesitate to go to them again!

Doing a photo shoot with Janell and Ryan was so amazing, they’re very fun and made me feel comfortable. I love how they work together to get the best shot! I can’t say enough about how beautiful the photos turned out….. I would give them 10 stars if that was an option ????????

Had such a good experience with Janell and Ryan for my first boudoir shoot. They both made everything so comfortable. Janell is the best at posing and prompting and Ryan is hilarious. Ladies, I 100% recommend these guys. You won’t regret it. The images turned out perfect and I cannot wait to surprise my fiancé on our wedding day! Chey was amazing at hair and makeup too! Also 10/10 recommend her sweet soul.

These 2 were super professional and made me feel comfortable right as soon as I stepped in their studio. They were easy to talk to and to work with. Ive only ever seen them produce amazing pictures, with the ability to make every client look like a professional model. 10/10 would book again, they are worth every penny. ????

Janell made me feel super comfortable and Chey was amazing at hair and makeup! I loved the photos so much that it was hard to narrow down and choose which ones I wanted! I would 100 percent recommend Oak and Pearl and will definitely book another session one day!

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Janell and Ryan for my boudoir shoot a few weeks ago. This is something I wanted to do for years but I struggled with finding photographers that were the right fit. Not only are they talented photographers but I really enjoy the artistry involved in their images. As soon as I found them, they made the whole process really easy and comfortable. The only challenging part of working with Janell and Ryan was trying to stay composed because I was hysterically laughing the entire time. I knew that they did amazing work but I was in complete shock when I previewed my images. I never imagined that I could look the way that they portrayed me. Honestly, I was just hoping for a few half-decent photos. They exceeded all of my expectations to say the least. If you are looking for photographers that are professional, make you feel confident, and produce incredible work you are in the right place. ????????❤️

I can’t say enough about Janell and Ryan... from the moment I booked to the moment I arrived for my picture I felt taken care of. They are both so professional and know how to make you feel comfortable and safe. The set was gorgeous (and put together specifically just for me). The quality of the images is insane ???????????? I am so so happy I chose them to do these pictures for me!! If you book in, you will not regret it!

Highly recommend for anyone to go to Janell and Ryan! It takes a special type of person to make you feel comfortable and relaxed and having a blast during a boudoir Photo shoot, and with them you get two people like that! Amazing at directing and helping you be put in poses which either hide your insecurities and enhance your desired features. I had a hard time choosing my favorite pictures they are extremely amazing in their profession. You will not be disappointed. Down to earth friendly people, just super easy to be there and you feel so welcome. So thank you Janell and Ryan!! I will definitely come back for future photoshoots! The final result is priceless. For the hair and makeup- Chey did such a great job! She took what I wanted and made it happen. Another person who is super easy to get along with and just makes you feel at ease. She works magic. The whole experience was awesome!!! If you're on the fence- just go for it, I am over the moon!

Janell and Ryan are so professional and fun to work with. I was really nervous when I arrived but in no time at all they had me relaxed and laughing. They are true experts at what they do. I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience from the start of the day to the finished product. They are amazing ????????

I had the pleasure of working one on one with Janell Connors of Oak and Pearl recently on my very first boudoir shoot. I have zero experience in photo shoots and was extremely nervous, but Janell’s outstanding professionalism and calming nature made it a great experience. Literally guiding me in every position step by step, Janell has created the most beautiful photos of me and has definitely built up my self esteem. It was very difficult to pick out my favourite pictures because they were all amazing and the lighting was perfect. I would love to work with her again and would recommend her to anyone!

Josh Branch

This was an excellent experience right from the beginning. I told Janell I had never done a Boudoir shoot before and she had a prep guide that walked you through it. When I got there for my hair and makeup I was nervous but Janell, Ryan and Chey(Hair & Makeup) made it so easy to feel comfortable and not to mention Chey made me look gorgeous! Once it came to the shoot it was so much fun. They told me where to go, which way to look they made it so easy! They took so many amazing photos I had a hard time narrowing them down. I went in for a wedding gift to my fiancé and I came out with confidence. 10/10 already want to go back! -Laura D

Let me share with you what a wonderful experience I had!!! I have been following Oak and Pearl Photography on Facebook for about a year now and dreamed about doing a photo shoot with them. I had such a wonderful time with both of them.. They are such amazing photographers, it takes true talent and passion to be able to capture the full Beauty of a person and both Ryan and Janell have that and they did that for me. I am so happy that I chose to reach out to them and have them as my Photographers. They made me feel so comfortable and at ease the whole shoot. I would chose them over and over again to do my pictures. Thank you so much for making me feel so beautiful and making those memories so special for me. Xoxo ❤️❤️

What an experience! If you have ever wondered what it feels like to be a star, this is something you should do! Not only did I feel like a million bucks during the shoot, the product was amazing, my photos left me speechless. The time and care Janell and Ryan and their team put in to make your experience one of a kind is priceless. The investment is worth every Penny, at any age or any stage of life… 5 stars, highly recommend

Stacy Surowaniec

Janell + Ryan were so amazing to work with. From beginning to end, they make sure that you feel at ease. Janell provides you with so much information pre-shoot. During the shoot, they direct you and help you pose, and will make you laugh so you don’t feel awkward. They are thoughtful and careful to capture the most beautiful photos of you. During the gallery reveal you can really tell that they care about each person they shoot, and making sure that they feel beautiful. All the little details, from beginning to end made booking with them worth it. They are worth every penny of the investment.

Joan Jacobson

An overall amazing experience! I would highly recommend both Janell and Ryan. They are both professional, yet make the experience fun and relaxed. The final digital images and prints were beautiful and wonderful quality. This was the perfect gift for my husband and myself!

Oh my goodness!! I don’t even know where to begin with Janell and Ryan !! After putting off doing my Boudoir photoshoot for years, I finally said screw it and I went for it !! I couldn’t be happier with how my photos went , they make you feel so comfortable! I told them what I had in mind, and holy man they went above and beyond what I even ask for. If you are considering doing a boudoir photoshoot I HIGHLY recommend Janell and Ryan ! Hands down !!

Janell and Ryan made a vulnerable encounter into a fun and relaxing experience. Any nerves I had leading into it was quickly diminished once we started. I felt I was in the hands of very genuine but very professional photographers, as well as people. I am BLOWN away by the results. I cannot stop looking at my photos! They have incredible talent and I will 100% be booking them again in the future.
