I did a birthday and family photoshoot with Butler and Badou Portraits, and here is my honest assessment of their service.
When I first visited their website, I noticed the pricing information was lacking. They advertise a $500 print credit, but that doesn’t go far when their products are priced in the thousands of dollars. There was no clear breakdown of pricing upfront, which was very disappointing.
The photoshoot experience itself was good. Afterward, they did a projector presentation of our photos, which felt like a high-pressure upsell for their expensive canvas prints. We considered the option since we had the $500 credit, but when we asked about the 4-in-1 canvas, I was shocked to hear it was nearly $10,000 — yes, $10k for a canvas!
We declined the canvas and decided to purchase digital copies instead. I was informed the minimum purchase was 10 photos, and we selected 12 photos out of about 70. The total cost? Over $3,000 just for 12 digital photos, plus the initial booking fee.
At that price, I expected flawless, professionally edited images, but that was not the case. The photos showed minimal to no editing, and I had to repeatedly ask them to address basic issues like discolorations and brightness. When they sent back the edits, the images looked AI-generated and unnatural, with my husband and son appearing feminine and off-looking. I even edited one photo myself on my iPhone to show them what I was expecting — yet no meaningful improvements were made.
Eventually, I requested that they reverse the AI-looking edits and send me the unedited versions instead, but after that, they stopped responding altogether.
As of today, July 17th, after shooting in the second week of June, I still haven’t heard back from them.
Overall, I find it disheartening to have spent so much money only to end up re-editing the images myself (if I get the original digital copy). I strongly advise anyone considering them to be fully aware of the hidden costs and lack of transparency before booking.
I sincerely hope they improve their process and adopt a more honest, client-focused approach, especially given the premium pricing they charge for this experience.
I will not be returning or referring anyone to them for sure!

I had an amazing experience with Marian & her team! I came prepared with a Pinterest board of inspiration and Marian went above and beyond to get the shot of my dreams! Her welcoming studio and radiant energy made my first boudoir experience one of a kind. Thank you!!
