Finding the right boudoir studio in Pittsburgh can be overwhelming. The same can be said about sourcing nearly any boudoir photography studio for you. Boudoir photography is intimate, and understanding which photographer to choose is intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The team at the GFE is always here to help you find your most beautifully empowered self behind and beyond our lenses.

We have worked with incredible clients from Pittsburgh and beyond. Lucky for us, they aren’t shy about sharing their experiences publicly. If you are someone who need to read the reviews and hear the first hand clients experiences, then this is the post for you! After 10+ years in business, our premier boudoir studio, the GFE, still maintains an average of 5 stars out of over 100+ client reviews on Google. Don’t believe us? Feel free to take a little browse on over to our Google search page to take a peak!

We’re beyond grateful for all our clients over the years to our boudoir studio. This includes our new and returning clients, too. These are clients who have shared their empowering experiences in our studio and have the photos to remember it by as well.

That’s why we wanted to highlight some of our most recent client experiences with the GFE. We always strive to bring the best luxury experience one can receive from us. And these are some experiences a few of our past clients shared with us about their experiences behind Steff’s lense at the GFE!  

Boudoir Studio Newbie Clients Share About the GFE

Trying something out that is new to us can be nerve-wracking. We all remember our first time at something new, right? Our nerves make us jittery and we contemplate backing out. Or maybe our anxieties and worries make as feel bad about how we’ll look, what we say, or how we fell. These first timers to the GFE boudoir studio were not only brave boudoir newbies, but they also left outstanding reviews that make our hearts flutter. 

Boudoir studio newbie Erin wanted to surprise her fiance with a boudoir album. She was nervous about her first experience, but this is what she had to say:

Right away, Steff makes you feel so comfortable. She is definitely a woman that supports other women and makes you see and feel how beautiful you are. She felt like a close girlfriend that I knew my entire life within minutes of meeting her. The photo shoot was amazing and I never once felt uncomfortable.

I couldn’t stop smiling after leaving my shoot that day. […] I see myself in a different way now and I have gained so much confidence from this experience. I can’t stop looking at the photos. I’m so glad I did this. Leaving the studio today, I didn’t want this to end, just wanted more time with my girlfriend. Steff is a true gem. I hope I can get back for another shoot. Ladies, book your shoot. You won’t regret it!!!

We also don’t just work with women. We proudly work with all genders as well too in our boudoir studio. As Sean P. stated in his review:

Stephanie and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with. We talked multiple times before the shoot about the look and poses I wanted to take inspiration from. They never made me feel weird or unusual for being a man wanting a boudoir shoot. I loved how I felt during the shoot. I felt strong, sexy, and was vibrating from the excitement. I highly recommend using The Girlfriend Experience. They’ll make you look how you deserve to look!”

Boudoir Studio Reviews from Couples

Matthias F. and his partner chose The Girlfriend Experience for couples boudoir last year. I love shooting couples, and break the sessions down between Couples Boudoir and Couples Erotic Boudoir. Yes, they’re different. Matthias says he and his partner shot with TGE while on vacation. 

“Now, more than half a year later, we still think about the experience and love to look at all the pictures. This experience stays for a long time, not only for the day. When we get the chance to come back to the city one day, we’d definitely do another shoot.”

Steph L. was another client that came in for one of our couple’s boudoir studio shoots. She had to rave about their experience with us:

“Steff is simply the best! I have yet to see anything close to her level of talent. We did a couples shoot shortly after my husband returned from deployment and from the very first moment we walked into her studio, to when we ordered our album, everything was a CLASS ACT! Stop thinking about it… DO IT! Your future self will definitely thank you for it. ♥️”

Returning Boudoir Studio Clients

There is nothing more flattering than photographing the same client multiple times. We love our past clients as much as our couples and boudoir newbies! Booking sessions can be intimidating, but returning customers? That is the biggest compliment we can receive. Just hear about the experiences of some of our returning clients.

Anna D.:

“Okay, I know I already reviewed this business with 5 stars, and only because Google doesn’t allow more. I have now worked with Stephanie and the GEB team for a THIRD time. Each time I come out of the experience feeling amazing because they are that good at what they do. Trust me when I say they are the best of the best. […] I had such a beautiful experience working with Stephanie and her team for the first time that I booked a second session 5 years later. The whole experience is truly euphoric.”

Brandon M also says:

“I CANNOT recommend this studio, Stephanie and her team, enough. I have had 2 shoots with them and soon will be having a 3rd. From the moment you walk in, they make you feel like you’re their best friend. Starting with hair and makeup, you will look and feel the most beautiful you ever felt. Steph truly listens to what you want or don’t want, why you’re here, and what you want to get out of the whole experience.

She is literally on her hands and knees walking you through the shoot every step of the way. I know she couldn’t do this without Dessa (makeup artist) and Jess (studio manager) by her side. They are a dream team and I will not go anywhere else for my photos.”
