Optionz Photography

My pictures came out perfect! They even hid my fat. The make up artists and lighting/​costumer were fabulous! Loved them! The photographer was not friendly at all! Sometimes rude to the employees and not much nicer to us!

This was a fun experience! They had a Groupon deal, so I figured why not. Calling to make an appointment was easy. Can’t say it was a super friendly conversation — all questions were met with «go to our website and read the FAQ». Albeit, the FAQ is pretty good and does cover all the questions one might have.
The studio is located in a random industrial-​ish area, but is easy to find. It’s rather small inside, but there are several rooms/​mini studios/​set-​ups to choose from for your photo shoot. It’s all nicely decorated. And they do a good job at trying to create the right mood and ambiance. Sexy songs playing, Magic Mike XXL on the TV, etc.
Upon arriving, I had to fill out a few forms. And then it was on to the up-​selling. Granted, this is nothing unusual. $ 20 extra for false eyelashes. $ 20 extra for two cocktails. Extra for retouching. Extra for additional outfits/​set-​ups. Extra for a CD of all the photos. Etc., etc. I opted to pay an extra $ 99 to get two outfits/​set-​ups, a CD of all the photos, and 3 basic retouched digital photos. Not exactly cheap, but not un-​worth it either.
I was then led to the makeup room to get made up and have my hair done. The makeup artist was super friendly and sweet! She listened to what I wanted in terms of hair and makeup and delivered well on it. The only thing I disliked was the amount and shade of the foundation. It wound up looking fine in most photos, but there were definitely several where the makeup looked caked on. It was definitely a case of «have to go home and wash this all off before going anywhere else». But my eye makeup looked fab.
Then I was led to the «fantasy closet» and met with the stylist. She too was wonderful! We went through the items I had brought and discussed different ideas. I felt like she did a great job on putting together my «look». She also assisted the photographer with lighting, with arranging me, with encouraging me, etc. She absolutely helped make it a more enjoyable experience.
There are several photos that I hate, but that’s more me not liking the way my face looks as opposed to bad photography. The photographer did a great job with lighting, etc. and really worked to make sure there was a good shot in each pose before moving on.
After wrapping up, it was then time to checkout and pay. I was also given my CD right then and there, which was great. The retouching of photos, though, takes 3 – 4 weeks. You can, however, pay for rush retouching if you need them sooner. But honestly, with the pictures I like best, I don’t feel like retouching is even necessary — and that’s always a good thing.
All in all, this was a fun experience and I wound up with some great photos.

I wish I can give this place ZERO… I FINALLY receive my edits months later, I did the shoot on July 29 and just got them in September. for the LIFE of me I cant understand, if you are a business and sale your items on groupon, why wouldn’t you displace the same level of customer service and gratitude as you would someone who is paying full price. She don’t know me or if I had upcoming events I could have us her in but yet she treated me like I wasn’t shit or beneath her. like my dollar didn’t matter cause I paid for the shoot on groupon, also I didn’t buy any upgrades. after all I been through with this unprofessional, rude woman, on the day of July 29 which by the way it was my birthday. we came to an agreement that she will fix the picture that’s my profile picture. in that picture you can see my panties. get my edits and she aint did SHIT, her response was cause I wrote a bad review she decided not to honor what she said. What!!! she cant handle the truth, she probably selling her shoots on groupon cause she aint making that much money anyways. That rude, disrespectful, attitude having female yelled at me, talk to me like I wasn’t shit on a mistake she should have caught first, then turn around and tired to blame her assistance. NO boo boo kitty, you the one holding the camera, you should have been the first to caught it. BUT your name is on it and trust and believe that every chance I get, I will be showing people your beautiful pictures. My name is Pauline, not the low class citizen who paid for a shoot on groupon so that means you can treat me like shit, sorry I am not the one. You will remember me, I am a very nice person who did nothing wrong but point out something that was obvious and if you had any kind of customer service skills, before it got this far, you should have did what ever it took to make your customer happy. but its ok, this wont be the last you hear from me. have a wonderful day!!!:)

They make you feel so beautiful here. The ladies that work here are so nice! Beautiful work

WOW!!! is all i can say to describe my experience with Roxan. I had the boudoir pics done many times, posses and access to the fantasy closet, which i loved a lot, also hair and make up was done which was a wonderful experience. Roxan made me feel so comfortable and beautiful /​I would highly recommend Optionz to any one that is looking for some sexy pics done. I’ve had multiple photoshoots done by them and will most def be going back. My mom also loved her experience with option photography as well

I absolutely love this place! I’ve had 3 photo shoots with them and plan on going back for more! The women here are amazing, from the hair and make up team, to the photographer and editor! I definitely feel my sexiest whenever I go! I’m usually shy so this place was the perfect place to burst out of my shell and still feel comfortable! My pictures always come out amazing and I can’t wait to do my maternity shoot next! I recommend Optionz to all my friends and family! Love it!

I have been in to see Roxan and the ladies on numerous occasions, they are definitely an extension of my family. Being a bigger girl I went in with hesitation, I was very unsure how my photos were going to turn out… BUT with all the love and support the amazing staff at Optionz has my pictures were breath taking! These ladies made me feel like somebody, made me feel beautiful in my own skin, they gave me the confidence that I have lacked in my life for such a long time. A huge perk is Roxan and her staff listen to what you’re trying to achieve in your photographs. I have NEVER had a bad experience and I consider the ladies that work there not only my friends, but also my family. So PLEASE do not hesitate and go see these ladies you will NOT regret it! Always inviting, always an adventure and hec what woman doesn’t want to get dolled up and feel beautiful!

This is my second time using Optionz for photographic services. This time I brought my sisters entire bridal party in for the just us girls package as well as the groom and two groomsmen for couples shoots. I cannot speak highly enough about this organization. Not only did Roxan accommodate the entire group, she set up massages for the fellas since the ladies had to get their makeup applied and wardrobe consultations. Rikki, Danielle and Griselda completed the makeup-​Wow is all I have to say. My sister began crying when she saw herself. She has been dealing with skin issues associated with PCOS for a very long time which has left her often feeling unattractive.
The shoots were fun and classy. The women had a blast and almost forgot about the guys. When they were brought in for the couples shoots the guys were instructed by Bree and Roxan and immediately felt comfortable you with taking romantic photos (which made us all laugh). As a matter of fact they requested more editing of their bodies then the ladies did.
I love this place and cannot recommend it highly enough.

The worst experience ever! Here is why:
I went to Vegas with my girlfriends to celebrate my bachelorette party. I thought it would be fun to have a photo session together before the actual celebration. I found Optionz online, the website looked pretty good, the woman on a phone sounded nice, so I went ahead and bought the «Just Us Girls» package. They told me over the phone that we would have: makeup artists, hair and outfit stylists to prepare us for 2 hr photo session. Also, we could choose few pictures to be touched up and have CD with all the picture right away (total price $ 502.66)+ for $ 35 extra we would be provided by Optionz limo to bring us back to our hotel.
When we got there, we were told twice the same plan. After signing the questionnaire and informed consent the ugly reality started.
1) the place wasn’t clean: the robes provided smelled with someone’s perfume, and the slippers were sticky, the obvious sign of being worn by clients before and not cleaned. I was in a very good mood so decided to pretend I didn’t notice that.
2) the makeup artist wasn’t ready for me. They lacked makeup removal supplies, Q-​tips. Instead of tissues they had toilet paper, they were sharing the same make-​up brushes between 3 of us (I didn’t see any sign of them to be sanitized or even washed). No eyebrow pencil of any kind. I had to shape my eyebrows with wet brush and eye shadow. I was called «to be anal» for asking for an eyebrow pencil. There was an absolute absence of professional ethics!!!
3) The makeup process was extremely painful and frustrating. The assigned artist was incompetent (I truly doubt her training). I completely disliked the result and after asking her if we can do some corrections I was instantly attacked by Roxane standing next to me. She was very rude and intimidating; she was talking me down for about 10 minutes. I felt as if I was in a bad neighborhood worried for my safety. I just wanted to leave immediately, but because I didn’t have transportation available, I decided not to argue with her and suffer till the end. And, of course, they didn’t do a thing to correct that messy makeup.
4) here comes the hair style: the «professional» hair stylist just made a ponytail on top of my head, then did 3 curls, done. it took her 2 min; I had to shape it up by myself.
5) the closet with outfits didn’t have any outfits :) just lingerie and 2 polka dot dresses (questionable cleanness). we end up wearing what we had.
5) photo session: it took her 5 min total for three of us. Roxane was doing it with such an angry facial expression, that it made it difficult for us to smile for the camera. After we had been done, one of the employees told us to wait because we would be called to the separate room to look at the pictures and choose the ones we like to be photoshopped. After sometime Roxan came back, charged my card for $ 524.28, gave us the CD and that was it. The limo they promised wasn’t there, they just called a separate limo service for us, we end up paying the driver $ 65.
6) the photos: EPIC FAIL!!! She was taking pictures from the «top to bottom angle» that made our bodies look extremely un-​proportional with legs extremely short. She either has done it on purpose or she just unable to do this job.
Good luck to you if you still decide to take a risk and visit that place.

The girls and staff are amazing.
My make up was on point and I thank you for the wonderful experience.
Danielle the make up artist was so sweet. She kept the conversations flowing and going.
My outfit for pin up was too cute for words. And the photos were just purely out of this world amazing.
I couldn’t believe that half of them were me.
I totally recommend this studio for photos for any occasion.
The skilled work is on point!

I cannot believe I’ve waited this long to do a shoot like this! I had such an incredible time, and I owe it all to the staff at Optionz. Right from the moment I walked in, they were friendly and talkative and made me feel at ease. I’m not a small girl, but confident in myself and wanted to bring out the fun, flirty, sexy side of me. These women did exactly that. They didn’t let my size deter them from helping me have a fun, memorable experience that produced some impeccable photographs. I left there feeling like a million bucks, and have incredible confidence in my final product.
This isn’t just about going and having nice photographs taken, but the whole uplifting confidence boosting experience. It’s worth every penny. You owe it to yourself! You’ll have great photos to share with your special someone, but more importantly you’ll have that reminder of just how fun and beautiful you are, regardless of your shape, size or skin color.

I purchased 2 boudoir shoots from Groupon for the 2-​Hour session for my daughter and myself. Neither of us have ever done anything like this. I was pleasantly surprised at how accommodating all the girls were. The make up and hair were done beautifully. We did not have enough ideas of what we wanted before we came in. I was a bundle of nerves and that made the shoot a little difficult for all concerned but they handled it like the professionals they are. Thank you Roxane and the posing coach was wonderful! I finally loosened up in just in time for the last shot. The only issue I had was that the 2 hours flew and we did feel a little rushed at time of shooting since it took so much time to get make up, hair and then outfits figured out, Not their fault. I suggest you know what you want before you get there for sure. I will definitely be back, maybe they’ll consider a «second timer» rate haha ;) Thanks to all you lovely girls! You made me feel beautiful and that is exactly what i needed. A+++

I would like to write this review for the beautiful plus size girls who like myself, have finally found the courage to do a boudoir shoot. I wanted to look beautiful and sexy for my husband, because he changed my life in the best way ever.
When I entered OPTIONZ, I was terribly nervous. After viewing OPTIONZ gallery of beautiful, thin women, I was apprehensive, but that quickly changed. Danielle, who began doing my makeup was open to anything I wanted. She didn’t try to persuade me into being made up into something I wasn’t.
She was fun and friendly and we had each other laughing. If you’re picky about your hair like I am, I would suggest being able to quickly do your own.
I brought in a few of my own things to wear and use as props. I strongly suggest viewing the galleries or coming in with an idea of what you want. It’s not only easier on yourself, but for the staff as well.
At this point, I wish I had had some wine to help me relax. I would have made some goofy little faces while wearing my husbands jersey and hat and I would have made duck lips while holding his guitar. I would have smiled more.
Roxan was my photographer and she made me feel like I was so beautiful.
There was also a costume and photo coach and damn if I can’t remember her name but she was awesome!!! Thank you love!
With her brilliant idea of putting me on the leopard bed with my guitar and fishnets, and Roxans perfect angle expertise, they made me look thin, sexy and beautiful!
It was a great experience and one I’ll definitely do again.

Similar to Tiffany, displayed in earlier review, Im not completely satisfied… with the options. I hope that the copyrights are not an issue in my case, but unfortunately I am not able to say yet.
I have done this type of photo shoot previously and I must say I was bitterly disappointed this time around.
I repeated myself over and over again making the «costume assistant» and photographer know that I wanted pictures of a certain area and in certain poses and how much I wanted to incorporate a piece/​accessory I had brought with me. Turns out, NOT ONE of my pics had either or. Sadly, I felt very rushed. From the moment I came in, I was made aware there was someone else booked at the same time. At the end of the session, there was a lot going on, to include the customer that went in after me was also ready to review her shots. I had to make a decision right then and there– no CD or link to review at home, slowly. Then… it took exactly 4 weeks to get my pics– thats pretty outrages. Nonetheless I must add that the make up artist was phenomenal! Do NOT expect any goodies… and take extra $, nothing complimentary, and you are expected to tip! This shoot was a bit less than others but still very pricey for the product result; I guess you get what you pay for.
If you decide to go anyway, just make sure you stick to your plans and ideas– it goes really fast, before you know it, your done and outta there without the results you were «hoping» for.
Im sure the pics were badly finished and extremely overdone-​as some of their samples. The most disappointing is that you pay when you leave rather than when you get the product, as in other places. So if your not satisfied, Im sure it’ll be a **** to get your money back :(beware, if you call after your shoot… They are rude & sarcastic. Such bad customer service– sometimes they dont even answer in the office with your detailed information available– (why answer at all?) maybe they just take way too much, much more than they can obviously handle!

We did this for a Sunday activity for the girls for my sister’s Vegas Bachelorette weekend– it was beyond AWESOME! I can’t see enough good things about Roxanne and her all lady staff! Danielle did the bride’s makeup and mine and we both LOVED it! Roxanne made our hair look beautiful and took the pictures. Their studios has some adorable sets and Ricky helped all the girls pick out clothing that was so sexy and flattering for each body! It was so nice have her opinion. They all made of feel very comfortable and sexy while taking the individual pictures and we just played around for the group shot. The individual photos came out gorgeous, especially the poses that they suggested, TRUST them! The group shots came out very fun :). The bride got pretty comfortable with vodka and didn’t want to leave the shot she had so much fun!
We will totally be back again next time we are in Vegas for more photos and for their makeup class!

I purchased a boudoir shoot from Groupon for the 2-​Hour session. It was easy to book the appointment and all the details you need are on the website as for what to expect (somewhat). I’ve never done any type of professional photography shoot before, so I thought this was a great deal to try something new out. I brought a few outfits but ended up using some of the items in their fantasy closet (a corset, shoes, and jewelry). Upon arriving, I was greeted by Erica (the makeup artist/​hair stylist). She is very friendly and did a great job turning me into a glamorous woman with the look I wanted. Just a note that she also provides makeup classes, which is on my list to do next. After makeup and hair, you meet with another great gal (which I’m so mad I forgot her name). But the fashion girl will help you pick out your outfits as well as coach you through the photo shoot.
The entire process for getting ready eats up the majority of time you are there because when the photo shoot happens, it goes by super fast. So in two hours, I would say I spent 1.5 hours getting ready, and ½ hour doing the photo shoot. Out of almost 200 photos, I only liked a few. It wasn’t Roxan’s fault (the photographer), because she did a great job on the angles, lighting, etc. I was just so nervous and uptight as well as at a loss of how to pose or what to do with my facial expressions. So if you’re super new to this, like I was, I would suggest you bring a flask or take a few shots of something beforehand and have someone drive you there. You’ll have a much better time and you’ll probably let loose. I definitely plan on coming back for a second round of pictures before the year is up. These ladies are wonderful!

From start to finish this was an amazing experience! I felt like a model. Roxanne and her team are true professionals and are top notch. I even did some photos with my husband and he felt comfortable. My photos came out amazing and they even came to my suite to shoot plus hair and makeup. When I go back to Vegas and want professional photos they are the place to go !

Very nice ladies working there.

What a wonderful experience!!! I purchased a Groupon and decided to give Optionz a try and I was sure glad I did. Danielle did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup and she kept the conversation going so I wasn’t nervous. The posing coach helped me go through my outfits and pick items from their fantasy closet that would go with what I had brought. They also have some wonderful accessories as well.
Roxan was my photographer and she did such a wonderful job and the posing coach helped sooo much! I have had other pictures taken, but the photographer never helps with posing and I’m far from a model so it is hard to get the picture I am looking for. I purchased the disk with all of my pictures and love that they give you that option at an affordable price. I can’t wait to get my pictures back and I can’t wait to book another session! Their prices are affordable which makes it possible to have pictures taken more often. Thank you again ladies! I look forward to coming back!

Love these ladies! Flew my mom in to town for mothers day last year and booked us a photo shoot. We both had a blast and the pics were amazing!
