BEFORE AND AFTERS

Here’s a little of what some of our client’s have had to say after shooting with us:

When I first “discovered” Glamour Bitch I looked through the portfolio and was thinking to myself there is no way I could look that good. After a few days of contiplating whether or not I wanted to book a shoot I decided I would. I figured that if I didn’t like they way look at least I did something I never thought I would. When I arrived for my shoot I was so nervous I almost backed out walking up to the door. Just as luck would have it Dawn was out front sweeping. Her friendly appearance and greeting was warm and welcoming. As Shannon was doing my hair and makeup and Dawn was setting up my shoot I was becoming more and more comfortable with the whole thing. When we started I was still a lil nervous but as time went on with Dawn and Shannons encouraging direction I felt like a pro by the end of the shoot. Thats wasn’t even the best part, when we looked at some of the shots I couldn’t believe that the person I was looking at was me. Beautiful, unbelievable words can not describe how I felt. Dawn is an amazing photograger not to mention an amazing person. Shannon is the pro when it comes to makeup and hair. I have NEVER in my entire life felt as beautiful as I did the day of the shoot. Amazing, beautiful, professional, ecouraging, and magicial are just some of the words that I can use to describe Dawn and Shannon. You definately will not regret booking a shoot when you do! -Melissa S, NJ

I was a little skeptical and nervous when I first took the initiative to make an appointment. I couldn’t help but think that I wouldn’t look like the ” model-like” girls on the Glamour Bitch web site, they might make me look ok, but after having a child, stretch marks and not having the time to work out on a consistent basis there was no way I would be made to look like a model myself. Boy, was I wrong! When I saw my pictures, I was floored, one was better than the other! The whole experience was empowering and a huge self-esteem boost. Both Dawn and Shannon were extremely pleasant to work with and made everything extremely easy, not to mention they are amazing at what they do! -Meaghan L, NJ

I was referred to Glamour Bitch Photography by a previous client. I loved her shots & really needed a self-esteem boost so I thought this might be just the ticket. I talked to Dawn several times before I got up enough courage to actually schedule an appointment. I got to her place and was a NERVOUS WRECK!!! Dawn, Kelley & Shannon set me at ease almost immediately while I was getting my hair & makeup done. When it was time to start the actual photos I got cold feet again! Nearly naked? With strangers?? You’ve gotta be kidding me! I took a deep breath & got to work. Dawn showed me one of the first few pics she took. IT WAS AMAZING!!!! From that moment on I was ready to go. The whole experience was awesome & I can’t wait to go again. -Rachel Y, PA

I have always wanted to do a Hollywood Retro look. Jean Harlow is one of my inspirations. Being an OB/GYN nurse, I am in scrubs all day, giving me that rectangle/box-y look. My friend Rachel’s photos turned out so wonderful, that I booked a date. I finally had a chance to let the Vintage Screen Siren out!! What a wonderful experience! From shopping for the right outfit, hair, makeup, and the photo shoot…..I can’t wait to do it again! -Brett D, PA

After I found out that my husband would be deployed for a year, I began researching boudoir photographers along the Mid-Atlantic seaboard. I was stunned at how Dawn and Shannon transformed these already beautiful women on the Glamour Bitch website into drop-dead gorgeous models. So I scheduled a shoot to make my husband his very own pin-up calendar. I was anxious, excited and nervous when I walked in her studio but both ladies broke the ice and put me at ease. Being a little overweight was a concern of mine that was quickly put to rest after seeing how Shannon transformed me with make-up (jaw-on-the-floor for a good couple of minutes as I kept re-checking to see if someone was actually standing in front of me in the mirror!) and all the different poses Dawn put me in to make the most of my curves (not to mention the magic done with her computer)! When it came time to placing my order, Dawn went above and beyond to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. My husband and I, both, received amazing gifts: he got a calendar with his wife looking smokin’ hot, and I got to see and feel like glamorous celebrity (with ALL the tricks of the trade!)—the lady he’s been telling me I was but had never seen myself. After this experience, my confidence was through the roof. I was able to see just how beautiful I am; with or without make-up. -Rhiannon H, VA

After seeing my Nanny’s Glamour Bitch photos I was obsessed with having that same incredible experience. Being a mother of four and closing in on 43, this was the perfect pick me up to make me feel sexy and alive again. Dawn is without saying, a perfectionist, who is caring and so passionate about her work it shows in all the amazing pictures! She is so talented and works hard to get the perfect shot. Shannon is by far one of the best makeup artists I have ever known, …and I used to be one. She knows the best way to hide your flaws and play up your strengths. Together, they are an incredible team that makes you feel comfortable and beautiful. By far, one of the best experiences of my life. Every woman should have the chance to feel and look this good!! I love Glamour Bitch Photography! -Nina A, PA

After months of stalking the Glamour Bitch website, wondering how I would look like all of these girls when I am a size 12/14, I finally took the plunge and had a half day shoot. The experience with Dawn and Shannon was one that all girls should have for at least once in their life. They made me feel like a movie star!!! And then the photos came, and I looked the best I have ever looked. Shannon is truly the makup fairy and the tools are like a wand in her hand. Dawn, to get the “perfect” shot does whatever is necessary and puts you in the best position to make your body look fabulous. I never felt uncomfortable in front of the camera and Dawn guided me through the whole shoot with hand and body placement and was so creative. I also appreciated the fact that she was eager to please me with shooting ideas I already had. Thank you girls for the gorgeous photos you took of me and for making me feel so beautiful. The photos are far more outstanding than I expected, your work is truly the best! The comments keep on coming in:) Can’t wait to work with you again. -Adrienne M, PA

I have been shooting with glamour bitch for almost five years now. Dawn, Kelley, and Shannon have worked their magic on me in literally every stage of my adult life. Dawn got me into several major magazines through submissions of her photos when I was just nineteen, and helped put me on the map of the modeling world. Now, years after leaving the modeling world behind, these girls remind me of what it is to feel beautiful every time I work with them. Even when I was just weeks away from giving birth, and feeling absolutely awful about myself in a body that was completely foreign to me, Dawn managed to take some of the most beautiful maternity shots of me that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Then, a few weeks after delivering (when NO woman is feeling good about her looks), she did it yet again, and produced absolutely gorgeous images. Anyone considering getting pictures done should do so NOW! Any insecurities you may have about body flaws, a few extra pounds, blemishes…these girls make disappear. You will never look or feel more beautiful, and they are such genuinely sweet and fun people you are bound to have a blast doing it. I love these girls with all my heart and will be forever grateful to them for immortalizing some of the most special times of my life through beautiful photography. -Ryan P, PA

Getting your pictures done by Glamour Bitch Photography is an experience that all women should treat themselves to. I am a Mother of 3 and a Wife. I have many body flaws and like most women I am self-conscience with the imperfections. But he girls are so sweet and talented and they will transform you into your inner vixen. I saw myself in a different light. You will only be young once so seize the moment and do something extraordinary for yourself. -Susan Ospina, PA

I’?ve never really liked photos of myself and hadn?t had formal shots since I was a senior in high school. After a difficult year personally, I needed some sort of boost for my ego. Quite frankly, I needed to feel beautiful ? even just a little. A photo shoot just like this seemed like a good way to attempt that. My half-day with the Glamour Bitch girls exceeded my expectations and hopes far beyond my imagination. Shannon and Dawn were having so much fun and it was obvious that they love their work. They put me completely at ease with every step of the shoot. I know my true beauty is not in how I look on the outside. But knowing that and still feeling like I am beautiful are two different things. For the FIRST time in my life, when I saw the initial results of my shoot, all of it, the make-up and hair and sets and poses? I FELT beautiful. Being the sap that I am, I cried. I am so grateful to Dawn and Shannon for all the work they did. I?m still amazed at the results every day. More importantly, I?m indebted to them for showing me and helping me truly feel the beauty that I?m capable of – for helping me believe that in myself. It was and always will be one the best and most amazing days in my entire life. I can?t wait until I have a special man in my life so I can have Dawn and Shannon work their magic on me again. Or maybe I won?t wait for the man! If you are thinking about doing something like this, for your significant other or just for yourself like I did, DO IT. You will love the girls. You will love the pampering. And you will love the results. -Robin Meeks, DC

I have had some AMAZING fun with the girls of Glamour Bitch Photography. The first time was during the “All American Girls” shoot. Being a plus-size girl I was a little apprehensive – would they even want to shoot me? Dawn and Shannon eased those fears. I brought a gal pal with me, it was an evening shoot and the four of us had a GRAND time. I then came back to the girls to have my professional headshots done. Dawn and Shannon were amazing with editing, primping, laughing, etc. We’ve had a great time and I recommend them to anyone who wants to feel beautiful EVERY DAY of their life. -Melissa T, NJ

When I started college in 2000, I weighed 150 lbs. Pretty cute, for my bone structure and build. But during 8 years of mental trauma, self-hatred, and depression, I packed on close to 75 lbs. On my graduation day, I weighed 215 lbs, and shy’ed away from anyone with a camera. I never wanted to face the “fat-chick” that I equated with unattractive, unworthy, and undesirable. A recent break-up pushed me so far to the edge, that the only place I wanted to go was up! I began working out, eating healthy, and treating myself to dates every weekend, with just me, myself, and I! But I knew my main act on the path of self-love, would be to see myself in pictures. So after hedging, hemming, and hawing, I contacted the Divas at Glamour Bitch Photography, and you don’t need me to tell you they HOOKED ME UP!!! I rock so hard, and I know it!!! But more than anything, I admire my body, curves and all… So for all you fluffy, sumptuous, GODDESSLY shaped ladies, look at me!!! If I can do it, so can you!!! – Erica Ryan, NYC

As Dawn and Shannon always say “You don’t have to be a model to be a Glamour Bitch”! Its 100% true. I had no modeling experience when I did my first shoot with them. I was shy and insecure but these girls made me feel so comfortable. When I first looked at the pictures I couldn’t believe that the girl in them was me! I looked so gorgeous and sexy! These girls do such a wonderful job and are so sweet that you go in for a photo shoot and leave with AWESOME pictures of yourself and new friends. I live in California and when I head back east I always try to make a stop at Glamour Bitch for a shoot. I can’t say enough good things about them, they’re great. -Kelly Blaze, CA

The Glamour bitch experience is a must for all women..I heard about them thru a friend of mine who got her pics done! The images were breathtaking! So my hubby bought me a package I was sooooo nervous & thought I’d feel uncomfortable the first time but the girls make u feel so comfortable by the end of the shoot I was walking around naked! lol..Dawn’s work is so amazing that I was able to put some of the rough copies up the second I got home! Then a few days later I got the finished product & I was speechless..I looked beautiful in every way ..every lil flaw I had she covered up!

Love you Dawn ,Shannon & Kelley! Glamour Bitch Rocks! XO- Danielle Colontonio a.k.a. Rackorama, NJ

When I first heard about Glamour Bitch, I don’t think I stopped talking about it for weeks. It was something I always wanted to do, but never thought I had the nerve. I’ll admit, I was very apprehensive after seeing Dawn’s work. Every girl she shoots looks flawless and like they stepped out of a magazine. After a little convincing, and assurance from former “bitches” I was more than ready. From the moment you meet the girls, till the second you leave, it’s a non-stop thrill. Makeup, hair, clothes, cameras flashing … if you’re ever gonna feel like “somebody” this is it! Take any average girl and instantly she’s turned into a superstar. I’m so happy that I did it, and couldn’t be more pleased with the final result. I cannot wait to do it again! Not only do you leave with beautiful photos and a new sense of self confidence, but a few new girl friends as well :) I can’t say enough good things about them or their work, it’s something you need to experience for yourself. -Heather P, PA

My intention was to give a gift to my husband. It became a gift to myself. I’ll be 40 soon and I wanted my husband to have these memories of me when I’m 60. Married 12 years and a mother of four boys, I don’t often feel like the sexy woman I used to be. I’ve never taken professional shots and I honestly couldn’t see myself like any of the beautiful women on the Glamour Bitch website. Shannon is an artist. The makeup was flawless. When I saw the first few shots before any retouching, I cried. Dawn’s modeling experience allows her to demonstrate the expressions and poses and makes you feel comfortable. She brings out your confidence and your best features. My only regret is not having found her sooner. I would have loved sexy shots of myself pre-children and even maternity photos. Every woman should have this experience at least once in their lives. Having your youth and beauty captured in these photos are priceless and timeless. Thanks again! -Sandy S, NJ

I had always wanted to have professional photos taken of me, but I was always too shy. The first and only time I had my photos taken by a photographer was when I was about 10, so you can imagine. I had many offers from other photographers, but I didn’t feel what I was looking for, that is until I came across Glamour Bitch. I was completely enamored with Dawn’s photos, every girl looked amazingly beautiful and the makeup on these women made them look even more beautiful. I immediately knew I wanted Dawn to photograph me. I hesitated at first and waited more than a year to actually contact Dawn again. I would constantly visit Glamour Bitch’s MySpace page to view Dawn’s latest work, which made me want to take my own GB photos. I wanted to look as glamorous as those other girls, so I kind of used an excuse to do it. Dawn was offering a calendar package and I was all over it! I could fulfill my desire to take photos and give my boyfriend his Valentine’s Day gift, isn’t that smart! Girls always say it’s for their honey, but it’s really for them, and that’s good for them because we should always treat ourselves to a little pampering here and there. I was a bit apprehensive before getting there, but as soon as I walked in Dawn and Shannon made me feel wonderful. I felt that comfort I had always been looking for and I surprisingly left everything in their hands. After Shannon finished my hair and makeup I looked in the mirror and felt like a goddess. I looked amazing and I was loving it! I was so timid at first, but suddenly I found myself letting it all go and just working the camera. I was shocked at myself because I was actually posing and giving these fierce looks, I felt like I was actually shooting for a magazine cover. My photos turned out beautiful and my boyfriend was totally surprised and so in love with them, that he’s already telling me he wants next year’s calendar. My mother loved them so much, that she decided to go and get her own GB calendar for whom else, but my dad, you’d think I was freaked out by the whole thing, but I wasn’t. I enjoyed seeing my mom getting special treatment for once. She deserved it after 4 kids and 21 years of marriage, which goes to show GB is for every woman, even moms and grand moms! I loved every minute of my experience with Glamour Bitch and have gone to them three going on four times since February. It was something I needed to gain confidence in myself again and I totally recommend Glamour Bitch Photography to any girl who just wants to feel sexy, glamorous, or beautiful; not necessarily for anyone else, but yourself. I guarantee you’ll not only love the results, but you’ll love the experience because these girls are truly amazing and really make you feel special, I love them dearly and hope to continue shooting with them for many years to come. – Jamie Ortiz, PA

I have been lucky enough to have had the “Glamour Bitch Experience” twice in the last year. It truly is an amazing time! Dawn and her team are professional, personable and truly talented. They take the time to find out exactly what you are trying to achieve in your photos and make sure that the results are more than what you ever expected. I love getting all done up with the hair and makeup and the all female staff makes it comfortable to try things I wouldn’t normally do. There aren’t enough words to describe the TALENT and MAGIC that Dawn creates in her final images. Glamour Bitch can make any girl beautiful! I am grateful that I have been able to experience it and would highly recommend that every woman does this at least once in her lifetime for her man, or most importantly for herself! -Jenn T, PA

When I first decided to get my pictures done by Glamour Bitch, it was a present for my fiancé who was being deployed. I was very apprehensive because I had ZERO modeling experience. But, my girlfriend (also a Glamour Bitch girl) assured me “The Girls are awesome, you’ll love it, they make you feel so comfotable!” and she was absolutely right. Dawn, Shannon, and Kelly are three amazingly talented women who not only make you feel beautiful; they make you feel like a friend. Shannon and Kelly transform you, and Dawn guides you through the rest. Glamour Bitch has been such a confidence booster for me, and now, my deployed fiancé gets pictures for every holiday, which he loves. Not only is it a present for him, but it’s a treat for me to be pampered. I highly recommend getting pictures done. It’s a blast! -Jessy P, NJ

My name is Amanda, and i’m an aspiring model. While trying to build up my portfolio, I’ve come across many photographers, some good, but mostly bad. I got sick and tired of the male photographer offering me TFP/CD for poor quality images, meanwhile feeling uncomfortable and taken advantage of in the end. UNTIL I found Glamour Bitch!! Since my first shoot with them, I not only noticed a confidence in my photos, but also in myself as well! From makeup and hair, to the whole “feel” of shooting, and down to the end product, I am 200% satisfied with everything they do. Thanks so much! -Amanda B, DE
