I had a wonderful experience with Stacey! She was very accommodating and made me feel comfortable and confident. She kept in mind everything I wanted to highlight and everything I felt self-conscious about when posing and editing. Her prices are very reasonable. I love how my photos turned out and my husband and I will treasure them forever!

Don’t hesitate and just book a session! You will not regret it!! I have never done something like this before and took a leap for my 40th to just experience it and have these photos to look back on for myself. Stacey made this almost effortless and they turned out amazing! From hair and make up being done for you to then a private session customized to whatever vision you have in mind, she can help guide you through poses and wardrobe. I drove 4 hours and it was worth it truly!! I ended up choosing more photos than I planned on because I couldn’t resist. I am telling all close friends and family to just do it!!

I have been working with Stacey at Simply Boudoir for almost 6 years now (literally have another shoot with her this weekend) and I truly cannot say enough amazing things about her and the experience she creates. From the very first time I met her, my nerves disappeared within minutes. She has such a warm, empowering presence that instantly makes you feel comfortable and confident. Every shoot with Stacey is not only fun but incredibly creative. Any idea or vision I bring to her, she’s immediately on board and somehow always brings it to life even better than I imagined. She has such a powerful eye behind the lens and knows exactly how to capture moments that make you feel beautiful, confident, and empowered.The experience with Simply Boudoir is unmatched!!! The comfort, the creativity, and the energy Stacey brings make every session unforgettable. I recommend her to anyone thinking about doing a boudoir shoot. You will walk away feeling amazing and will DEFINITELY want to be returning.

OMG!!!!!!!!! My photos are S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G!!!!!! I cried!!! I am so in love with them. I am so glad I found Stacey!!! She turned me into the beauty I always hoped and dreamed I could be. Through her lens, she found me: a Jennifer that is stunning, beautiful, confident, poised, and dare I say...graceful. I am speechless, I really am. Stacey discovered the woman that hides behind no makeup and sweatpants. The sexy woman who thinks she is too fat for lingerie. I am so proud of these photos!! Thank you Stacey for believing in me and accepting me for who I am. Thank you for pulling me from the safe space I've grown comfortable living in.
I also have to give a shout out to Madi! She did my makeup and she did a fantastic job! I felt so beautiful. Thanks Madi! (https://www.instagram.com/madidoesbeauty/)
Want a boudoir session? Don't think about it another second. Book it! You will NOT be disappointed. Stacey is a talented photographer. Stacey has a gift. She is MAGIC.

I cannot say enough great things about Stacey and Simply Boudoir! I contacted Stacey via email, and she was super quick to respond and get my shoot scheduled. Stacey makes you feel welcome, confident, and powerful as she talks you through every pose. Down to helping pick out what to wear, she makes sure to help with every detail along the way. She is also a pretty great hype girl if you are a ball of nerves as I was! 10/10 recommend Simply-Boudoir!

I researched boudoir photographers all over NC because I wanted a specific use of lighting in my photos. I found it with Stacey at Simply Boudoir! I drove 3 hours to Kernersville and I'm so glad I did. My hair and makeup was perfect for the look i was going for. Stacey had some outfits pulled for me that worked brilliantly.
I initially booked her package that came with 15 photos and after I saw the first 15, I upgraded so I could get 25 more. I highly recommend Stacey. She is relaxed and makes you feel comfortable. The photo studio is lovely. Do not hesitate to book with Simply Boudoir. You'll be so happy with the result.
