What Clients Have to Say:

"I have had 2 photoshoots with these amazing women and both were some of the greatest experiences I have ever had in my life!!! Sarah is so professional and was very helpful in getting in me to pose in the most flattering ways and I couldn't even recognize myself! I gained so much self-confidence and she is so body positive and inclusive. I worked with her on a Halloween photo project, definitely one of the coolest experiences of my ENTIRE LIFE! Absolutely use her for your boudoir photography, you will not regret it. You'll turn into me wanting to do shoot after shoot!! I highly recommend 🧡"

"My experience at the Sarah McDaniel Studio was amazing. Weeks leading up to my appointment Chelsea and Sarah were in constant communication with me regarding my shoot. This was my first time doing a shoot like this so their availability to connect with me made me feel super comfortable in advance. I asked for a nude shoot but when I arrived Sarah suggested some lingerie. She selected two pieces in which I fell in love with. You can see that she absolutely loves what she does and she is committed making all women feel beautiful. She took my vision and helped me expand on it. I hope each woman that decides to work with them are as blessed as I was."

"From the time I booked with Sarah she was super attentive to my concerns and wants for my session. We were booked for right when the pandemic hit. She was super cool with moving the session back for me. Fast forward to August it was time for my session. I was scared and contemplated cancelling because I wasn’t happy with myself. I am so glad I didn’t cancel and showed up that rainy day. From the time I walked in the studio I felt like I had known Sarah and Chelsea forever. She was down to earth and listened to me about what I was hoping to gain from the session. She understood my vision and ran with it. My husband was taking part in the shoot also. He had been up until 2am with an appointment then we had a 2.5 hour drive to the studio. She had him come in and gave him somewhere he could rest until we needed him for the shoot. I mean seriously who else would do that?! Not anyone else. So in case anyone was wondering he said the bed in the downstairs studio is amazing 😊 My hair and make up was one of the best experiences ever. When I looked in the mirror I was like damn girl! Once my shoot started Sarah was the best hype girl ever! I quickly lost my nerves and really got into my session and had a blast. She 100% nailed my vibe and the pictures I wanted with my husband. I left the shoot that day with a new found respect for myself and how I looked at the body I was blessed with. Fast forward again to last week where I had my second experience with Sarah. She was doing a Classic Monster shoot and I was lucky enough to be picked for it. This second session was super amazing. The make up the set the experience all seriously the best! So with that being said I would highly recommend Sarah and her studio to anyone and everyone. Hands down the best experience ever. It was worth the drive time and money ❤️"

"Sarah has given my girlfriend memories she can hold on to forever. She doesn’t have many photos of her with our son but she was so happy when she received Sarah’s photos that she cried. They even made me take a couple shots when I got home from work - and they came out really well. Sarah never disappoints. My girlfriend raves over her work all the time and I’m pretty sure she has already booked her third session with her. Thanks for always capturing the moments that my girlfriend envisions. Your work has meant the world to her and I’m sure will continue to. Thanks for being apart of the family."

"I have now done two photo shoots with Sarah and could not be happier. The entire process is like therapy for the soul. I am a very guarded and protective person and Sarah made me feel incredibly safe and comfortable in my own skin. She, and Chelsea, have this amazing ability to make you see and value yourself in ways that you may have never experienced before. I can personally attest to the confidence instilled in me within each session. I always leave feeling empowered and emboldened. Furthermore, the quality of these images is out of this world. Effort is poured into every part of the session, from hair and makeup, to the wardrobe, lighting, setting, and personal comfort and safety of the individual. A truly remarkable experience that has been worth every single penny."

"Sarah and her team are amazing! I was nervous about doing a boudoir photo shoot, but nerves went out the door when I met these two. It was like a girls day out with my people. Her team had my make up flawless and is a very patient woman because I’m horrible with others around my eyes. And Sarah has a exceptional eye, I had a vision of wanting these photos to show my dominance and confidence and she went above and beyond. This is her craft that is pure perfection. I cannot be more pleased. Beyond some bomb photos to come...I needed this experience I will never forget it or these girls!"

I will defiantly be going back post baby."

"Sarah and Chelsea are an absolute dream. From the moment you walk in they make you feel at home and comfortable, which is an absolute necessity for an experience like this. The entire day is devoted to you and both girls do an amazing job of getting to know you and making everything about you. From trying on and picking outfits, to having my makeup done, to actually taking the pictures, Sarah and Chelsea were there every step of the way to make sure everything was perfect. Chelsea is an amazing hair and makeup artist and gave me exactly what I was looking for, when I didn't even know what that was! She is also meticulous with details and is so professional with her products, cleanliness and technique. Sarah made sure that I looked the best in everything I chose and showed me exactly what to do for every image and pose, all while hyping me up the entire time. And the results are absolutely worth it. I didn't think I could look and feel the way I did after my session and I would 100% do it again!"

"Sarah and Chelsea are incredible! If you are looking for an amazing experience, this is who you need to call. Chelsea can make all of your hair and makeup dreams a reality. She is meticulously clean and has amazing skills. Sarah makes it known that they are both there for you every step of the way, even before you walk into the studio. These women craft an entire day that revolves around you. They have everything covered! Sarah won’t leave you high and dry while trying to navigate the straps and hooks of the lingerie. She will be there right next to you helping to make adjustments and showering you in compliments along the way. Nervous about posing? Don’t be! Sarah will guide you through every shot (she will even show some of her own moves) and make sure that you look your best at all times. I cannot say enough good things about these fabulous women. Their quality is unmatched, you will not be disappointed. I have recommended them to multiple people and will continue to choose them!"

"First time doing a boudoir shoot. BEST EXPERIENCE of my life, hands down. Sarah was amazing and coached me through every pose. The makeup artist, Chelsea, made me look absolutely stunning and I am in love with the end results. I want to book with them again and again and again!"
Mrs. C

I honestly don’t know where to begin! This shoot was beyond everything I needed. My boyfriend and I welcomed a beautiful baby boy into this world about 9 months ago and while it’s been amazing, we have lost some of those intimate moments now that there’s a baby in the mix. So when I contacted Sarah I told her I really wanted a ‘steamy/sexy’ couples boudoir! This was going to be our 2 year anniversary photo shoot and I wanted it to be everything that has been missing these last few months! I was finally looking good again after having a baby and I just wanted to share a few hours of fun with my man. Sarah was able to capture that spark that has been hiding - the one that started it all! Our session started with Chelsea absolutely killing my hair and makeup. My man walked in and his jaw hit the floor! And then Sarah just killed the whole shoot. She let us play around and try different settings and positions, all while coaching us in a way that was fun and natural. She really listened to what we both wanted and made she we were completely satisfied before we left. My boyfriend didn’t know how he was going to like this photo shoot, he’s never done something like it before, but it was a breeze. AND THE ORDERING SESSION. UGH. The photos came out absolutely perfect. My boyfriend even bought a few more because we looked fire! Thank you so much Sarah! You helped us to relight that flame and learn that we can still love each other in that playful way when we first met! Thank you for giving us something that we can hold on to and look back on when we’re 80! We will be back! And I HIGHLY SUGGEST you book too! You won’t regret it!
