Crush Photo Studios

I found crush on groupon and I’m glad I went. I’ve been there twice and plan on going back. Nancy and the entire staff are awesome and make you feel very comfortable. I did the package that includes hair and makeup and definitely recommend it.

I picked up a Groupon and was very pleased that I did.
Noël, who did my hair and makeup, was lovely and very talented. I looked amazing, and she kept me entertained while she worked. Nancy is an expert at making you feel comfortable, even while contorting your body in strange poses. I didn’t do boudoir because I just needed headshots, but we definitely did some fun out-​there poses.
They don’t sell unretouched prints, so if you’re looking to save money there, you’re out of luck.

I needed a professional headshot done as soon as possible and they were able to schedule me within 3 days of calling. They were very friendly upon arrival and their studio is super cute! We took hundreds of photos and I was even able to review them with the photographer right after. The same day I got my headshot edited, and I’m very happy with how it turned out!

I have bought a coupon for 1h photo session with Crush Studios. I only need to make an appointment, but after 1 week of calling every day and writing e-​mails, a have got no one feedback. This guyes looks closed. I even visited the Stodio in their «open time» — dark and empty. I dont know what is happend, and where is everybody, but i think it is enought for me. Everybode, just be careful with coupons from this company!

I used Crush Studios 3 years ago to create our Eve & Adam holding leaves photos for our business and have received literally hundreds of compliments on the pictures we’ve posted in our business, online and on our menus. This place sets the standard for boudoir and all types of photography.

Not only is Nancy a talented, creative and gifted photographer, she is a truly genuine person with an amazing demeanor. I’ve always felt goofy and unnatural posing in front of any photographer but with Nancy’s patience and guidance, she quickly had me feeling like a professional model. We had so much fun during my shoot and she took so many unbelievably amazing shots that all seemed natural and unrehearsed. I am so pleased with my photos — they are truly breathtaking and anyone who has seen them has been blown away. Nancy strives for perfection but in an enjoyable way and she’s very open and honest throughout the entire process. She has an incredible eye and sophisticated taste that shows clearly in all of her work.

AMAZING!!! I can’t even begin to say how great my experience with everyone at Crush has been. From making my appointment, to having my hair and make-​up done, the boudoir shoot to selecting my images with Nancy, EVERYTHING was an absolute great experience!!! Nancy made me feel comfortable and sexy in my own skin (I am a bigger girl) and I am so happy that I selected Crush to do this shoot. I think my BF is going to love his Xmas present and I can’t thank Nancy enough for the amazing photos. If you have ever thought about doing a boudoir shoot you should definitely select Crush Studios for this and I promise you will not be disappointed from start to finish! A huge THANK YOU to the whole team at Crush Studios!!!

I bought a Groupon for my dental office group photo and we had a blast!
–She arrived at my office location promptly and waited around as we were scrambling to put on the final touches of our makeup and hair (sorry Nancy!)
–She was took a range of conservative photos to creative ones and encouraged us to laugh and be natural. I am NOT natural in front of the camera… but she would crack jokes and make me loosen up a little.
The MAGIC. is what happened behind the scenes! I couldn’t decide between 2 photos which one I liked better because the staff looked better in one and I looked better in the other. She LITERALLY Photoshopped my body into the other photo so that we could have a customized photo where we all look good! Like HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE! Magic!
Now I’m considering a boudoir shoot… with those Photoshop and lighting skills I’m pretty sure she can make me look like I have a six pack: P

I can’t say enough positive things about Crush Studios and Nancy! My experience using Crush for a business casual photo was fantastic! Nancy is amazing in that she is warm, authentic, extremely creative and intuitive in knowing how to capture your best features along with flattering backgrounds. Nancy took her time and I never felt rushed. She is a true, gifted artist. She made me feel like a super model!
The entire experience was so much fun! Don’t even bother comparing. Just pick Crush Studios and you will be beyond ecstatic with the results!

My first experience here was GREAT! I got a groupon deal for $ 125 for hair and make up, so I wanted to use it ASAP!
I came in on Friday didn’t know what to expect and when I came in I was very welcomed by the receptionist she was soo sweet and nice. The parking was so confusing I didn’t know where to park but she actually went outside and showed me where to park.
When I came in they offer you water or mimosa which is pretty nice. I was waiting for my hair stylist and make up artist to get there. I got Noelle and she was awesome! My hair and make up turned out super awesome!
Photoshoot time with nancy was soo much fun! I did not want it to end. She just makes you super comfortable and makes everything so much fun! She’s really funny also! Makes you laugh and just makes time go by super fast! She has so many great ideas to make you look phenomenal.
My experience here was awesome! And I’m defensively going to come back! It’s a little pricy, but you get what you paid for and you will not regret coming here at all! :)

I absolutely adore my photos! Nancy asked me what was the feel of the photos I wanted and delivered them perfectly. I asked for a boudoir shoot that was light and sophisticated which definitely translated in my photos. Nancy was able to give great direction while having fun on the shoot. I loved it! Overall a wonderful experience from beginning to end.

The receptionist was one of the nicest people I have ever met in my whole life! From beginning to end, she was so helpful and kind and I am so appreciative of her upbeat attitude throughout the whole process.
The photographer (Nancy) was nice enough, but I felt like she wasn’t listening to what I wanted for my photos. After trying to steer it back a couple of times, I gave up and let her take control of the session, but when I saw the pictures at the end, I wasn’t very happy with what I was left with. She went in completely the opposite direction of what I was going for, and had she listened to me in the first place I would have been much happier. And I’m not difficult to please, but I would have liked some say in the pictures (that I was paying for).
For the price and because of the rave reviews, I expected a bit more. I ended up getting a couple of photos (they had a super-​quick turnaround time, which was wonderful) but the majority was nothing like what I was hoping they would be, and it’s a shame because I was looking forward to it for months.

I cannot say enough great things about Crush & Nancy!
I was nervous to take boudoir pictures but it was on my bucket list. Are you ever really excited about how your body looks? Doubt it. I’d always find a problem so I booked when I saw a groupon deal.
I arrived and was treated with champagne, as much as needed/​wanted, while I waited and had my hair/​makeup done. Noelle was awesome. I loved loved loved what she did! I would love her to do my makeup for any occasion! I got so many compliments on both.
The shoot started upstairs in the studio after picking out which outifts were best from the ones I brought. Nancy moves so quickly that you don’t even have time to stress or worry. She is constantly directing you and you feel more like you are playing a fast-​paced Twister than taking boudoir shots. You know she is only worried about the lighting and posturing, and you never feel that she is mentally noting your imperfections. She has many great suggestions from years of experience but she is open to your ideas and your own creativity/​personalization.
The hours passed by so quickly. I was so sad when it was over.
When I went back to review the pictures, I was astonished. Those were photos of ME??? She had thousands so it was hard to pare the number down to 18 or so. She has a great eye and is so talented. Her personality is perfect for easing the novice’s worries.
I highly recommend any women, no matter your size, to take these shots. Do it for YOURSELF but you can use the excuse of a birthday/​wedding/​anniversary gift for a spouse if you need. You will love yourself more when you see yourself in the photos!

I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Nancy and the staff at Crush studios! I bought a photo package with hair and makeup as a gift to myself, and was very nervous about taking boudoir pictures. After emailing and speaking with Patricia, she put me at ease and reassured me that Nancy was excellent and would make me feel comfortable in my own skin (which she absolutely did!).
I showed up for my appointment and was treated to champagne while I had my hair and makeup done. I loved the outcome and the artist was great about asking me what kind of look I wanted and then giving me exactly what I was hoping for. When meeting Nancy, she immediately made me feel confident and she reassured me that this would be fun.
Nancy is AMAZING! She gives incredibly helpful direction when taking pics, and she even sneaks in some photo-​taking when you’re not aware. Love those candid shots :) The shoot was super fun, relaxed, and had just enough prompting to bring out a little bit of my inner vixen!
I came back for my photo review a few days later, and was not quite prepared for how many pictures there would be! I spent about 3 hours perusing Nancy’s awesome work, and am VERY happy with the ones I will be receiving.
I strongly encourage anyone considering boudoir photography to come here. You will be so happy with the entire experience and the mementos from it are such an ego-​boost and a pleasant reminder to be happy with your body and that you are beautiful. Overall, a fun and self-​empowering way to treat yourself (or someone you love)! My one negative thing would be that parking can be tricky here, so just be sure that you are ok where you park! Other than that, nothing but love for Crush!!! Go here– you will be soooo happy you did :)

Nancy is an amaaaaaaazing photographer. I bought a deal through LivingSocial as a gift for my boyfriend. Was pretty nervous, since I’ve never had my picture taken professionally before, but Nancy made me very comfortable. She even gave me a some lemonade vodka to relax me!
The first hour was hair and makeup. The girl (can’t remember her name) actually does makeup for several of the Real Housewives of OC (yes, I’m that easily impressed!). So cool! She was super nice, and had a lot of suggestions on what works best for me. Brown smokey eye, nude lip color, and Victoria Secret style-​waves for the hair.
Nancy had several backdrops and different props (chairs, sofa, rugs) for me to pose on. I had 3 or 4 outfit changes. And she even helped pick out what jewelry matched which outfit best. She really knew how to direct me, since I had no idea what I was doing. We even ventured outside taking pictures on a bench and against a chain link fence. Those outdoor pictures were actually some of my favorite.
The pictures came out amazing. I loved all of them. Wish I had the money to buy all of them. My boyfriend is definitely a fan!

The awesome 5 start reviews posted on Nancy, her team, and the entire Crush experience are 100% accurate.
My husband and I decided to have new photos taken for our business and we could not have been more pleased with the experience from beginning to end. Crush is the perfect place to have professional photos taken when you want to express your unique style and personality.
The studio is beautiful, the staff is warm and friendly, the champagne flows freely and the makeup and hair stylist (Noël from Hey Saylor Cosmetics) completely exceeded my expectations. My husband and I had the BEST time together, it felt like we were on a really fun date (which is a GREAT idea for couples who want to do something super cool and fun together).
I’d highly recommend Nancy for any type/​style of photography work. She knows how to make everyone feel relaxed comfortable and glamorous!

I need give a shout out to Nancy! She is the photographer and «director» there, who directed me to pose a certain way, making me look like a model. The end results came out gorgeous and most importantly, hubby loves them!
It was my first time doing a boudoir shoot so I was a bit nervous, but once I met Nancy, I was just so comfortable with her. I didn’t feel self-​conscious or felt awkward at all. It was great sense of comfort there. Overall, I had a blast and would totally do it over again. It is a female crew, consist of Dre, Noelle (makeup artist, I think that is her name), and Nancy… they were awesome throughout.
For the money though, I was hoping to get more printed pictures.

LOVE LOVE LOVE NANCY!
She’s so amazing at what she does! She makes you feel super comfortable while doing the shoots and the pictures are SPEECHLESS.
She brings out the inner beauty in everyone. The way she takes the pictures, they don’t even need brush up. My only complaint is the price!
I got a groupon deal and paid 200 dolllars for the shoot, then I ended up paying additional 150 dollars or so and all that gave me TWO pictures.

I am very impressed with my experience at Crush. Like some other Unilocalers, I also purchased a Groupon special ($ 125 for 1hr boudoir photo shoot w/​hair & makeup, plus one 8×10). Everyone was extremely friendly and made me feel special.
When I arrived, the hair & makeup artist started on me right away. I can’t remember her name (Ashley?) but she was super nice. She’s actually Heather Dubrow’s (Housewives of OC) hair & makeup artist. How cool is that?! I love that show!
Next was the shoot. The studio is located upstairs. They have a wide range of props. Nancy is the photographer. She made me feel so comfortable in my own skin. Although I felt very awkward, since it was my first time doing a boudoir shoot, she guided me well. I had a very fun time.
They don’t usually do this but since I had asked ahead of time and they were being very accommodating, I reviewed the pictures right after lunch. It was a birthday gift for my husband and I wanted to have at least one picture to show him right away. I sat down with Dre and we went through all 600+ poses. Yes, 600! It was exhausting. However, Dre was so patient and I valued her feedback as we viewed every pose. Since their prices were quite high, I ended up only purchasing 20 retouched poses, for $ 1500. Yup, 20 out of 600 and for $ 1500! I honestly didn’t plan on spending that much. I’m so lucky my husband doesn’t Unilocal,otherwise he’d have a heart attack! LOL
I really want to give 5 stars but their prices are extremely high. I guess it’s not something I would do all the time. So for a special occasion, the price is what it is. I wish they had more options as far as paying for just 20 raw images rather than retouched. Although, my retouched photos are amazing! I now understand why magazine ads are so perfect! haha!
I would recommend Crush to my friends. It’s definitely worth doing at least once. My friends are all very impressed and most importantly, my husband loved his gift. =D

I already had a vision of what type of HIGH FASHION photo shoot I wanted. So, I brought magazine photos to the photographer, Nancy, to convey my ideas…
Her studio was a little difficult to find at first, but her staff had already warned me of the discreet location and back entrance.
I brought my own wardrobe, had my make up done at Nars inside Nordstrom, and styled my own hair. Nancy looked at my wardrobe to determine what items would photograph well within her studio, as well as outside her studio.
Nancy had exceeded my expectations in bringing to fruition, my anticipated artistic vision. Nancy is an extraordinarily talented, professional, thoughtful, yet personable — as a photographer. Her hard work, passion, flexibility, and creativity really differentiate her and I am grateful to have worked with her!
Can be very costly, but with worth the priceless memories and digital images. TIP: Go with untouched images to reduce your costs. You can always take advantage of getting huge canvas prints at Costco, once you purchase the digital images.
Her staff is outstanding too, included Michelle, Jenny, and Sierra. What a great team to work with and I will continue doing business with Crush!
