Ma Cherie Studios

I cannot thank Ma Cherie Studios and Annika and Jill enough! You can see from the reviews they are known for their exceptional services! I wanted something special to give to my husband the day of our wedding. As anyone who has planned a wedding knows — it can be a stressful time. I really wanted to lighten it up and what better way than with awesome photo’s delivered to my intended right before the ceremony! From beginning to end — Annika and Jill were super helpful during the planning and responsive to all my questions and emails. They are wonderful, down to earth people who you want to work with! The day of the shoot was EXTRAORDINARY! Seriously, she kept things streamlined and even changed things up to get the best shots. I loved how inspired she was throughout my shoot! Oh and getting makeup professionally done really kicked it all off! The music, the design, the ease of all of it and the power I felt is something I will never be able to repay. People are paying for services with folks that don;t have any of that background or the talent Annika does and she can back up all of this knowledge with a GREAT experience! I can honestly say if you do this– you will not be in any way disappointed… I could not recommend this enough. This turned out to be as much as a gift for me as it was for my now husband. Oh! and his reaction… WOW! Thanks ladies — I cannot wait for my next visit!

What an amazing experience I had thanks to Annika and Jill. Ma Cherie studios personifies professionalism and warmth. From the very first interaction to the gorgeous outcome, I cannot say enough about it all. Annika is experienced and smart — she will guide you through the entire process. She counsels you in what to wear and what not to wear, to drink a lot of water beforehand… etc. I loved every step of the process and now have a stunning display of photos that I gifted my fiancé for our wedding. He was speechless and amazed. In addition, this was a gift to myself… celebrating my curves and femininity!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about ma cherie studios. I decided I wanted to do a boudoir shoot for my husband for our 1 year anniversary, but the whole process seemed very intimidating. With Ma Cherie not only was I comfortable throughout the process but actually had TONS of fun. Annika is the best and takes every ounce of intimidation out of the process. When I got the finished product I was STUNNED. It exceeded all my expectations and the look on my husbands face when I gave it to him was priceless! If you want to do a boudoir shoot this is the place to do it!

I will echo everyone else — working with Annika and Jill was great. Ma Cherie is a professional studio, well-​run, and Annika makes the whole experience comfortable and enjoyable. She gives great direction and encourages you to speak your mind about how you think things are going. I am amazed by how great the photos look and would encourage every woman of every size to find their own sexy in a boudoir shoot!

AAHHHHMAZING is all I can say about Annika, Kristen and her entire team!!! I went back just recently for my photo purchasing session and again I was totally blown away. Annika is just an absolute genius. She is so personable and professional and at the same time you instantly feel comfortable with her like she has been a long time girlfriend. Her attention to detail and her artistic views are unmatched. I did a lot of research into Boudoir photographers, as this is a wedding gift to my fiancé, and there is no one out there as talented as she is. There are other photographers out there that are less expensive but why go with anyone else but the best??? The experience alone was well worth every penny I spent. I have never felt more sexy and empowered than I did working with Annika. I cannot even wait to see the look on my fiancés face when he sees the album, he is going to die. Ladies don’t even look anywhere else, she is one of a kind and you will not be disappointed with your results.

Ma Cherie Studios is the best thing to happen to a woman’s ego! Hands down the greatest experience I have ever had with two people I only knew for a short period of time. I was nervous going into it but by the end I felt totally and completely comfortable. Great studio! Wonderful pictures shot by a total pro. My husband adored the gift!!! I would give more stars if Unilocal had them. Don’t think twice — book your season NOW! You won’t regret it.

Annika is amazing to work with. I decided to do a boudoir shoot as a wedding present for my husband (I know, its not the most original idea). From the moment I contacted Annika to the receiving of the album, I felt amazing and special. Yes, I am sure that there are less expensive options, but if you are doing to do this, why not feel amazing throughout the process. She personalizes everything, so from my initial consultation, she got a sense of my style and created looks that were great and fitting with what I was trying for. The photo shoot itself was fantastic. Again, she makes you feel so special and beautiful, you can’t help but take amazing photos. She adds all the special touches that again, just make you feel like a star. Working with her after the shoot was unexpectedly great too, since I just thought she’d send me some images and I’d pick the ones I liked, but she has a process that made choosing the album and the photos for it so much fun that it didn’t feel much like work at all.
In terms of the final product, all of these extra touches and personalized attention, makes for great photos. She is a true professional and I especially like that she only does boudoir photos so she really has a great eye for what works in this kind of setting. Her studio is set up to fit for different themes and she offers guidance for those like me who have no clue what they are doing. Trust her when she says it may feel awkward during the shoot but will look amazing in the photos. I was so pleased with how the album turned out, not to sound conceded, but I looked amazing, and the photos turned out beautifully, she is a magician! My husband was blown away.
If you have any hesitation, just do it, and go with Annika, you will not regret it.

I never thought that it would be so hard to write a review to say how absolutely amazing and fun my recent shoot with Annika was! Her studio is soooo cute! As soon as I walked in, I was impressed! If you are slightly nervous of doing a boudoir shoot, once you walk, you will be very comfortable. I never seen a photographer take the time set up a studio the way she did; that alone shows patience and dedication.
She is not afraid to think outside the box and will ask you if whether or not you would like to try out an idea. I would love to work her again and would recommend her to everyone!

When I decided I wanted to give a boudoir album to my fiancé as a wedding gift, I did a lot of research on photographers and decided on Annika, and am so glad that I did! She’s a total professional from start to finish. Once I booked her services we had an in depth phone call to talk about my expectations and learn more about my personal style, and she gave some great advice about dressing and styling myself for the photo shoot and she even created a Pinterest board for me with suggestions.
The day of the shoot we chatted along with the stylist doing my hair and makeup, looked at the sets and my outfits and came up with a plan. I never thought I would feel so comfortable stepping out of the dressing room in lingerie in front of a total stranger, but Annika is so encouraging and easy to be around and her stylist did a great job transforming me into a bombshell for the day. Annika showed me some shots on her camera throughout the long shoot, so I knew the finished product would be amazing. I left the shoot with a new appreciation for Victoria’s Secret models — holding the poses that are most flattering isn’t easy! But trust me, Annika knows how to make posing look natural and gorgeous. The overall experience was fun and even empowering.
Annika had my photos ready for review within a week and I returned to the studio to make the selections for my album. So many great photos to choose from, it was hard to narrow down but we came up with the best of the best and she created a gorgeous album that I can’t wait to give to my fiancé! If you are thinking of doing a shoot as a gift to a significant other, or even just for yourself, don’t hesitate to hire Annika!

I recently had a boudoir shoot with Annika. I am in the lingerie business so I thought that it would be pretty easy for me to pose and feel natural in front of the camera. I couldn’t have been more wrong! But Annika knew exactly how to direct me in every aspect from suggesting positions to facial expressions and even how to relax my wrist and fingers! Additionally, she has amazing technical abilities and really knows how to use lighting and angles to achieve the most flattering photos. I was thrilled with the photos! Every woman should treat herself to a boudoir photo shoot.

I decided to try Ma Cherie Studios after reading about it on Unilocal.With my boyfriend gone for long periods of time, I thought this would be a nice gift for him. The whole experience was amazing! Annika is a great photographer and extremely helpful! She encouraged me to send pictures of outfits I was thinking about before my shoot and offered to go shopping with me to make sure everything was perfect. She made me comfortable throughout the whole thing, with champagne and snacks and showing me every pose so I never felt lost or silly. She would show me pictures during the shoot so I got an idea of what it all looked like. She will tell you her honest opinon about everything… and my pictures turned out AMAZING. She did a great job capturing exactly what I wanted out of my pictures. I can’t wait until I can share them with my boyfriend! I highly recommend Annika and Ma Cherie Studios if you are looking for a personal experience with a great product!

I am so glad I decided to have the boudoir photo shoot done with Annika! I was extremely hesitant to book it as I do not enjoy having my picture taken at all, but she made me feel extremely comfortable and relaxed during the whole shoot. She explains the different poses and lets you see the pictures as you are going along so you know what’s working and what isn’t.
I just picked out the prints that I want and am so happy with the photos that Annika took (as is my husband :-). I highly recommend Annika and the makeup/​hair stylist that works with her — Dianna Quagenti.

So I also signed on for a Boudoir shoot thanks to Living Social. Wanted some fun pictures for my soon-​to-​be husband’s wedding present. Best idea ever! Annika is very relaxed and helpful, which goes a long way in making the experience comfortable and fun. She offers lots of suggestions and helps you find your best angles. Best of all she lets you see the pictures as she takes them so you can decide if you like how you look in them before sticking with certain poses or like me helps realize how certain facial expressions translate to film. All and all a wonderful experience which i plan on doing again!

I snagged a LivingSocial deal for a one-​hour photo session at Ma Cherie Studios… then promptly forgot about it for the better part of a year. Thank goodness the site sends out reminder emails.
Anyway, I finally called up Annika Roser, photog extraordinaire, and she talked me through the details of what to expect during my shoot (outfits, backdrops, etc). She offered the service of her hair/​makeup stylist — I decided to wing it, but I was glad the option was available.
I arrived at her South Boston studio with the wind in my hair and a small amount of anxiety, but she put me at ease with a mini tour of the studio and glass of champagne. The available settings ranged from boudoir to retro chic, and there were a bunch of fabrics and colors to choose from. I especially loved the hair ornaments and gloves she had available as props; the whole setup was professional and stylish.
Then came the shoot! Eep. Before each outfit staging Annika ran through suggestions on how to stand/​lean, where to look and how to smile; every 5 minutes or so she would show me the pictures so I could give instant feedback about what I liked or disliked. She was extremely knowledgeable about body positions and made me feel as comfortable as anyone can be with a camera pointed at them for an hour.
By the time we were finished I was posing like a pro and disappointed we had to stop. Three days later my prints were available for review online and looked fantastic! It’s going to be tough to pick favorites :).
