“I wanted to write this review before I became an elderly lady but if I did become an elderly lady I would still ask Val to take racy shots of me because he was really good with the angles. He was professional and prepared but not only that he made me feel comfortable and sexy. It was a great experience and all of the pictures came out way better than I expected. I’m a bit awkward and I expected the pictures to show my awkwardness but nope, the pictures just showed a very confident woman hanging out on the couch in her underwear. All in all it was an excellent experience, 10 out of 10, would recommend!”
“I could not recommend anyone more highly! Val was super professional, made me feel comfortable instantly, and his passion for photography shines throughout his work. He captured beautiful images that showed who I am as a person as well, overall this was a fantastic experience and I can’t wait to see more of his work.”
“I had a great experience working with Grimoire Boudoir. Val maintains a fun and loose atmosphere which made me feel really comfortable and safe. Val was really able to capture the vibe I was going for. Open to my ideas and understanding about my insecurities, making adjustments so that I felt good and looked good in all my shots. I highly recommend Grimoire Boudoir and can’t wait for my next shoot!”
“Valentino was such a joy to work with for this fun, light-hearted, maternity-themed boudoir shoot. He provided a comfortable environment for us to confidently be ourselves and capture this intimate moment. Val handled all the lighting and gave gentle guidance on positioning that works well. After a relatively quick shoot, I was amazed at the lovely collection of images he produced, and I’ve been so excited to show them off.”
“Val was a very professional and delightful photographer to work with. He made me feel welcomed, comfortable, and relaxed. I felt shy and didn't know how to pose, so Val was great at suggesting poses and directing me when needed. I also felt insecure about my body shape but he had a very body positive mindset and appreciated all body shapes, so I learned to appreciate my body more thanks to him. And the absolute most important thing was that I had a great time and the photos came out AMAZING! I can't wait to do our next photo shoot!”
“Val was super professional and very obviously put in his (super talented — the end results speak for themselves) 1000% from start to finish and at every point of the shoot in between to create an end product and also an experience that was and is truly special. I was worried about having to come up with poses but not only did he provide flattering and creative ones, he demonstrated them for me! He was thorough and also efficient and put just enough time and energy into shooting each pose and each outfit. Perfectly detail oriented, great aesthetic sensibility, does super cool stuff with his lighting setup — I really couldn’t gush more but I want to. I came away from the shoot feeling amazing about myself and the surreally gorgeous pictures just felt like proof of the validity of my newfound confidence. Val also edited everything insanely quickly for me — the turnaround time for the entire shoot was maybe a day. I couldn’t recommend his photography services more highly and am incredibly grateful to have connected with him.”
