This was one of the most wonderful gifts I have ever given myself, I had never done anything like this before and was super nervous of what to expect. Javier throughout the entire process from booking to questions and follow up was extremely comforting and professional. Anything I wanted to ask he always had the answer and would talk me though, I genuinely felt that he knew what I wanted to achieve and was able to direct me through the shoot. That was my main concern doing this kind of shoot, was not knowing what to do with my body or how to pose. On the day I did not have to worry at all Javier explained even showed me poses and the constant chatter of what to do next was amazing. Once the shoot was over straight away I was able to see the images and was blown away at how he had managed to capture a me I didn’t know existed, but it was still me. We choose the shots I wanted to keep and had them printed into the most gorgeous book.

I could not have asked for a more comfortable and safe experience, so much so that I will be working with Javier again in the future.

 

I absolutely adored working with Javier. He has this incredible ability to create a safe space that puts me completely at ease, even when I'm posing for sexy boudoir photos! A lot of the poses I chose involved stripping and partial or full nudity. I was worried it would be awkward, but it really wasn't! He also has a great eye -- the composition and lighting were beautiful. I am looking forward to working with Javier again soon!

As someone who's never really had professional photos taken of them, let alone boudoir, I remember walking into my shoot with Javier with a full face of makeup, and feeling super nervous, even worrying that I wasn't pretty or attractive enough to be doing something like this. However, as I quickly found out, I had nothing to fear, as Javier took the upmost care in ensuring that I was never uncomfortable and that he had my consent at all times, checking not only that I was okay with his ideas before we shot them, during and even after. I also quickly found out that my fears of being unattractive were unjustified. To this day, I still have no clue how he works his absolute magic, but I remember being shown a RAW picture of me right after he shot it and being amazed that it was a picture of me! I couldn't believe that it was me, and that even without editing, that my bum could look good, and the beauty he showed me on the camera was me! Any fears and worried I had about being too ugly for a boudoir photoshoot immediately disappeared! If you're even slightly hesitant about shooting with him, don't be! He is an absolute magician and manages to find the perfect angles that you can only seem to find when the stars and moon align. I also appreciate how he doesn't edit me to be anything other than who I am, flaws and imperfections, not that he seems to capture many, included. I love how he's helped me appreciate my body, flaws and all, by showing me how sexy I am and can look!

As a female, working with a male photographer can be intimidating and uncomfortable. Not when you book with Javier, he is such a kind and genuine person who immediately made me feel welcome and like I was in a safe space . He always makes sure I am feeling comfortable and enjoying myself. As for the actual photos, wow. Inside or outside, dark or light, it seems Javier can capture just the right photo. We have worked together multiple times and I can honestly say I’ve not only loved my photos but thoroughly enjoyed working with him.

Working with Javier was an absolute dream. He made the room very comfortable; I felt brave, safe, silly and sexy. Would definitely recommend his expertise as an artist as he captures you in ways that you could never imagine. Thank you Javier!

Javier is friendly, organized and easy to get along with. I felt very safe and respected while working with him. We had good communication for the goal of our photoshoot and had alot of fun along the way!

 

This was the first time that I had pictures done with someone out of my close friend circle. With the pictures that I wanted done at first I was a little worried and self conscious that I wouldn’t be able to take full advantage of the shoot but Javier made it very clear from the start that his main focus is to make me feel comfortable and enjoy myself. The pictures he took of me turned out amazing, he really helps you find those poses and angles that help with whatever body type you may have look absolutely beautiful. I can honestly say that my time working with Javier has been above and beyond. I will for sure be working with him again and I’m excited for what’s to come!

 

Javier was so great throughout the whole process- he made me feel comfortable with myself and my body. I couldn't be happier with how the pictures turned out. I think he really helped bring out my confidence!
