If you're even remotely considering booking a session with Hype Girl, I have two words: DO IT! From start to finish, the process is so seamless and the team is beyond encouraging, helpful, and exactly what the name says: hype girls! The welcome guide was consulted MANY times in the 6 months between purchasing my session and booking (seriously every question and detail is thought of), and working with Marcella when I needed to reschedule/for a product order was such a breeze, I've rarely worked with businesses who respond so quickly and thoroughly. I was also so excited that the client closet is TRULY plus size friendly--no "handful of matronly pieces" here, there were so many gorgeous pieces in inclusive sizes that there's definitely something for any vibe or style.

The session itself was the best photography experience I've ever had and I already can't wait to do another! Hair and make-up with Alycia and J were genuinely relaxing and fun, and the results looked so gorgeous yet so natural that I am extremely indecisive, but Tiffany helped me pick out outfits and sets that ended up being so perfect from just a few things I WAS sure about at first. Definitely listen to the welcome guide and stretch and hydrate before your session so you can easily get in the poses, but no need to worry--nothing is painful or crazy! Tiffany walked me through every pose step by step and even explained the whys and hows behind what we were doing, while still having the session feel like just hanging out. I did a same-day reveal and LOVED how involved and hands-on the process of picking products and photos was, plus how flexible the packages are. I ended up being able to get products that I'm super, super excited for (and confident in the quality of after seeing samples in the studio) and SO many gorgeous photos that narrowing down which ones I wanted was seriously the hardest part of the day. Everyone who says that a boudoir helps you see yourself in a different light is so right--even with many insecurities, I was left with so much confidence and a new view of this wonderful body I have.

So again, I can't say it enough: book the session, it's worth every penny and more!
