Elevation Boudoir Photography - Tuscaloosa, Alabama

You know you see a movie and they have this really cool photo of themselves and you wish you had a masterpiece of yourself like that? Well, now I have 15! Not once did the thought “oh I’m nearly naked in n front of people I just met” ever cross my mind. I have never had a more comfortable, empowering, and all around just amazing experience anywhere, ever, in my life. Rachel made sure I was prepared from the moment I booked the session till I walked out the door. Justin will prepare you for the shoot and also ease your nerves the whole time. Trust every move they make, cause it pays off!!

I could not possibly recommend Elevation Boudoir more. Justin and Rachel have so thoughtfully and beautifully crafted an experience from the initial consultation all the way to the shoot day and image reveal that truly highlight the self-discovery and self-love this journey can give you. Justin's creative and imaginative eye coupled with Rachel's attention to detail and beautiful soul really are the absolute reason for their much-deserved success in this business. Without hesitation, highly recommend spending a day with them and allowing them to show you what others see in you. Will certainly be back again <3

I spent months searching for the perfect boudoir photographer, and the moment I found Elevation Boudoir on Instagram, I knew they were the one. Their aesthetic—dark, moody, yet incredibly empowering—was exactly what I was looking for. I booked an individual session for myself along with a second shoot the very next day with my husband for a couple's session.

From the moment I walked in, I felt incredibly comfortable. Elevation Boudoir is a husband-wife duo, and their dynamic is just amazing—so welcoming, fun, and professional. They guided me through every pose with ease, making the experience feel effortless and exciting. Their wardrobe selection is huge, and they even helped me mix and match outfits between my own and theirs.

And the photos? Beyond my wildest expectations. I was absolutely blown away—so much so that I purchased every single image from both sessions because I simply couldn’t choose. The turnaround time was insane—about 15 minutes—and everything was so well done that very little editing was even needed. Their talent is next level!

But beyond the photos, this experience gave me such a confidence boost. It was exhilarating to play "model" for a few hours, and seeing the results left me speechless. I felt sexy, beautiful, and empowered, and now I have these stunning images to cherish forever. My husband and I still reminisce about how much fun we had and how special it was to create these memories together. We look at those photos daily!!

If you’re on the fence about booking—DO IT. I waited two years before finally taking the plunge, and my only regret is not doing it sooner. Whether you’re looking to celebrate yourself or share an intimate moment with your partner, I can’t recommend Elevation Boudoir enough. I’m already dreaming about doing it again!

I loved every minute of my photoshoot! As a stay at home mom I wanted to do something for myself. This was way out of my comfort zone and I was a little uneasy going into it. I walked in and immediately felt at ease when I met Rachel and Justin. They talked with me like they had know me forever. Rachel did an amazing job on my hair and make up. Picking my outfit was a breeze. During the shoot they were so encouraging and helpful. What’s so awesome about it is you get your photos that day. It was truly the best experience. I left there feeling in top of the world and full of confidence. I will most definitely be back and cannot wait for that time to come!

Rachel and Justin at elevation boudoir were amazing. this was my first experience with any boudoir and was nervous when i arrived. they were great at explaining everything to me and made me feel comfortable. this was definitely a confidence boost from hair and makeup being done to the end product. definitely an overall great experience and would love to work with them again in the future.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Hands down the best experience of my life. I’m a pretty shy and reserved person so booking this shoot was a really big deal for me. From start to finish, Rachel and Justin made you feel completely comfortable and they are some of the most down to earth people I’ve ever met.

Rachel did makeup, helped pick out outfits, and helped with poses and Justin worked his magic behind the camera and talked you through every shot. They are a fantastic husband/wife duo who are not only super professional, but also pretty hilarious as well, which definitely calmed my nerves and got me out of my shell.

I ended up buying all of my images because I could not believe that was ME in front of the camera! This session gave me a major confidence and self esteem boost and for that, I’m forever grateful. I have not stopped looking at my images since my session…like I’m seriously obsessed. ?

Rachel and Justin - thank y’all for an incredible experience and thank you for helping so many beautiful women to see what y’all and others see without even knowing us. Can’t wait to come back for round two some day ?

Would 10/10 recommend Rachel and Justin to do your boudoir session! They are so professional yet it's like you have known them forever! Definitely left the session feeling so confident and beautiful! Rachel did amazing in hair, makeup, and posing while Justin worked absolute magic behind the lens, capturing natural light placement and shadows ❤️

I had so many reasons why I shouldn’t have a photo session. I am 60, just too old. I have scars from 30 surgeries in 25 years,including malignant melanoma that was in my eyelid,I hate the scars. I shouldn’t spend the money because it would be a waste of time and money.
My daughter invited me to join Elevation Boudoir FB group and I did. I thought I will not ever be like those ladies? I saw a fantastic opportunity for me,a free photo shoot. I thought I would give a shot,I decided that I wanted to feel like those ladies! I freaking won! That was my sign.
My big day arrived, I was totally frantic because I couldn’t find where my parking place and was freaking out. I called Rachel and she reassured me I was fine and she sent me a PIN, I went straight to it. I run in the door yelling “I’m here!” Panting as I approached Justin and Rachel, I was welcomed with a greeting as if we had known each other for years.
I hopped in the chair and Rachel worked magic on me. Then like two friends sharing clothes,she lead me to a fabulous closet of beautiful outfits to choose from. I was already having so much fun. Next to the studio where Justin is constantly studying the room and Rachel is showing me exactly how to pose. I was a queen and the love poured into each photo was filling the atmosphere with a positivity that made my time in front of the camera a fantasy come true. That’s really me! Wow not bad for 60! Thank you Justin and Rachel for a day that is forever etched in my memory!
