Wonderful experience! Allana is incredibly talented at what she does, both in assisting with posing, and also with helping the person she is photographing feel completely at ease. I felt so dang good about myself after this shoot--it will continue to be a lovely memory. Thank you!
I had such an amazing experience at Modern Muse. Allana helped guide me and was so patient throughout the entire session. Shes truly talented which shows in all of her photos.
I did a shoot for my 40th birthday. Allana was amazing, made me feel so comfortable and confident and is really talented at her work. Would use her again every single time.
Amazing experience. Allana is able to bring out the best in you. I have never felt so beautiful and empowered.
Very professional and talented and lots of fun
Incredible experience! From the second I walked In and met both Allana and Kerri (hair and makeup artist) I felt like I was immediately in a room with great friends! They were both SO welcoming. I can’t say enough amazing things about the whole experience! I really wasn’t sure all I was expecting to feel but was excited and I can say the whole time there far exceeded all expectations.

I can’t say enough amazing things about the whole experience! I really wasn’t sure all I was expecting to feel but was excited and I can say the whole time there far exceeded all expectations. Allana walks you through every idea, angle and experience to really bring your confidence to new levels. I was super nervous but those nerves were immediately gone when I put in my first outfit and Allana brought all the visions to life! Her coaching you through everything really allowing you to bring out different moods and sides you want the camera to capture. Sittting with her after and going through all the photos was also awesome! I loved the whole day and seriously recommend anyone looking for a confident, sexy and fun experience, book with Modern Muse!! Less

She spent the entire shoot hyping me up and making sure I was comfortable in the poses and then looking at the results after was like sitting with an old friend while they hyped you up some more! 10/10 recommend Allana and Modern Muse for all your boudoir needs. I honestly think everyone should experience this simply for the confidence boost you get afterwards. Thank you so much Allana :) Less
I cannot recommend Allana at Modern Muse enough! I was very nervous beforehand and not only did she put me at ease, but she gave excellent direction and I absolutely love my photos. The whole experience was so positive and I am so grateful to Allana for creating such a safe space for me to really embrace this experience.
Total PRO and a master at her craft. Comfortable space with clear instructions to get some truly amazing shots
Allana was amazing to work with! She knew exactly how to capture every moment of me! I did a variety of shots and she got me to come out of my shell completely to show myself! I would highly recommend Allana, she made the process a breeze! Her studio is beautiful and relaxing with lots of pop as well! Personable, easy to talk to, and experienced! :-)
The talent and vision are absolutely incredible. And turnaround time on a set of gorgeous photos was so so fast. I would recommend this experience to everyone!
I loved my experience! Allana is super welcoming and she really makes you feel comfortable during the entire experience. I highly recommend her!
First of all, Allana is an amazing and creative photographer. Working with her was single-handedly one of the best experiences I’ve had from start to finish.

Her studio is amazing, comfortable, moody, and all the vibes you want especially for a boudoir shoot. Even before the shoot she makes you feel empowered in your decisions and guides you along the way. I’ve never been professionally photographed before but you’d never know with how comfortable and confident you feel working with Allana. I could go on for days about how beautiful the photos I received from her are and I absolutely will. Book with her, you won’t regret it! Less
I had the most magical and calm experience ever! I didn’t know what I was walking into or what level of confidence I needed to finagle inside me to succeed, I was nervous, and in the unknown, but that all went out the window once I walked into the studio!

I didn’t know what I was walking into or what level of confidence I needed to finagle inside me to succeed, I was nervous, and in the unknown, but that all went out the window once I walked into the studio! I walked into a beautiful bubble of amazing energy and warmth from the natural lighting beaming from the windows. It was cozy. Cozy is my vibe. So I continued with the day with an open heart and mind. Allana was so lovely and welcomed me in the studio with a big hug, and I met and sat in Mandas make up chair and I felt myself opening up and more being myself. they ask all the right questions to break the ice, to get the details they need to help you be your best self and get the content YOU want. I’m a very indecisive person (so thank you ladies for being patient haha), so having some Guidance from them without worrying was awesome. I can go on and on about my experience. It was 10/10. If you are questioning about, don’t. Book with them. It’s definitely an investment in yourself, and completely worth it. You leave there feeling liberated. Looking forward to doing it again in future. Thanks again Allana for coaching me through and reminding me to breathe! Less

You can tell she really has a passion for this and is extremely enthusiastic while you’re photographing. I’ve had friends say they were worried about not being coached during the session, but Allana really helps you get into the mindset and helps you pose for the camera perfectly. I had a lot of fun and am so glad I did this. Amanda is also amazing (hair and makeup) and I really enjoyed interacting with both of them. I cannot recommend modern Muse enough! Less
Allana and Amanda (makeup) created a fun and relaxing environment. Allana did a great job at directing poses in a way that built confidence. The photos came out amazing!
Allana is amazing at what she does. From the initial phone consultation to the actual photography session, she was gentle, encouraging, and empowering.

With her guidance, your photos aren't just photos but a piece of art. Well worth the time and price. I'd do it again Highly recommend Modern Muse and Allana. Less
Allana and her team make you feel so comfortable. Seeing my pics after was so surreal - you could see how I started nervous and then by the end showed a completely new side of myself. She explains to you exactly what to do in each pose and helps you to feel confident. I recommend this experience to anyone wanting to take their body back and feel more comfortable in it, so worth it.
Absolutely wonderful experience!!! Allana is amazing in every way!
Allana was amazing and made me feel absolutely beautiful and I was so comfortable with her. She was so encouraging, and she’s an amazing photographer!! This is definitely the perfect career for her. Amanda was my make up artist/ hair stylist and she did a beautiful job. Thank you so much, I can’t recommend modern muse enough!
Allana and Manda are 100% amazing!!!! They guided me through the whole experience and made me feel so comfortable!! I loved chatting with them and they are wonderful, talented and lovely!!!! Thank you both!

The studio is tastefully decorated and perfect for many different types of shoots.

The entire experience was just plain FUN and EMPOWERING! 10/10 would do it again. Less

Allana is *such* a gem! She is so professional and talented. I felt at ease during the entire shoot. What a great and fun experience! I highly recommend Modern Muse <3

Maternity boudoir in studio With newborn at home 9month baby + family together in studio Although these all have quite different vibes she pulled the beauty out of each of them and I am truly so grateful that we had this running partnership to record things that, frankly at the time, I didn't have energy to do myself. (And of course never could have captured so well!) We got a great mix of very polished gorgeous shots as well as heartwarming candid shots. Highly recommend. Less

Im so, so glad I did…. the whole experience was amazing. From hair & makeup with the awesomely talented Manda…. to the whole process of posing & finding my inner muse with Allana, who made me feel so comfortable & confident the whole time! I just had my reveal & was truly blown away. I HIGHLY recommend to anyone thinking about it… and if you happen to be a BC warrior as well, feel free to reach out to me if you need that extra little bit of encouragement! 📸💕 XO Meg Less

Had such a fun time with Allana! She made me feel at ease, which allowed me to really enjoy the session and play things up. Manda transformed me into Hollywood glam and Allana captured my best pinup looks.
What an incredible experience with Allana! She's such a professional, made me feel so comfortable and gave me specific pose instructions so I didn't have to think too much about it. She was also so communicative beforehand so I felt very prepped for the day. If you're looking for a way to celebrate your body and boost your confidence, I'd 100% recommend working with Allana!

I absolutely loved my experience working with Allana! I was nervous going in but she made it so comfortable. I left with more confidence than I've felt in years!
Never thought I could be comfortable doing a shoot like this. Allana makes all the nerves go away by focusing on breathing. Start to finish was made to feel so empowered in my own skin.
My experience with Modern Muse was absolutely AMAZING! Allana made me feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process. If you're looking to try something new for your partner AND YOURSELF, definitely go see Allana!

I cannot recommend Allana enough! The whole experience has been wonderful, from the quick correspondence, to the comfortable and creative atmosphere she provides during the shoot, anyone who is on the fence should absolutely book! Hair and makeup was great as well.

I was nervous about doing a photo shoot like this. Allana made me feel so comfortable right away. I loved my hair, makeup, and the atmosphere! I would recommend others go for it and have a session. I love my preview photo and cannot wait to see the rest!

When she needed to make a couple adjustments she asked first without just invading my personal space. I definitely plan to do another shoot with Allana. A big shout out to Allana and Manda!!! Less

I reached out to in September, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and was told that due to the extent of the cancer, I would have to have a mastectomy. Understandably, I was devastated by this news and for a long time kind of in denial. As the end of chemotherapy and my surgery date drew closer, I started to really begin to mourn my body as it is now. I wanted to commemorate it. I reached out to Allana to inquire about doing a shoot and from the first email she could not have been warmer, she could not have made me feel more empowered, or encouraged, or beautiful. I had my shoot last week, Manda did my makeup and styled my wig, and OMG, wow is all I can say. She's incredible. Then came the fun part...the actual shoot. I was a little nervous going in, thought I'd feel awkward or that the poses would be unnatural and I would be stiff. Not the case, Allana knows her stuff, she gets the amazing angles, makes you look like a queen, and makes the experience so fun. I really never expected to have as much fun as I did. I'm still smiling about it. Thank you Allana and thank you Manda! Less
Allana was a dream to work with, and helped structure my vision (shared Pinterest boards!) and give me ideas and guidance to ensure my shoot was a relaxing, empowering break from the grind that is 2020.

Allana was a dream to work with, and helped structure my vision (shared Pinterest boards!) and give me ideas and guidance to ensure my shoot was a relaxing, empowering break from the grind that is 2020. I almost don't care what the photos look like - the morning spent in her studio was a delight on its own. Allana provided direction and support from establishing a target aesthetic early on, to posing and staging day-of, and hair and makeup was impeccable, too. Thank you, Allana! Less
This was the best experience of my life! Allana is amazing & makes you feel the same way. She’s so inviting & makes you so comfortable during the shoot. She is professional & passionate about her work. She captures magic in her lens & creates amazing works of art that will leave you speechless. Thank you Allana!!!
I absolutely love and adore Allana of Modern Muse - both as a person and in her work. She has an incredibly calm, grounded, yet open presence - which calms any nerves. You instantly feel safe and comfortable with her, which allows for a natural and enjoyable experience to unfold... and this shows in the pictures.

I absolutely love and adore Allana of Modern Muse - both as a person and in her work. She has an incredibly calm, grounded, yet open presence - which calms any nerves. You instantly feel safe and comfortable with her, which allows for a natural and enjoyable experience to unfold... and this shows in the pictures. She is a master at what she does, she creates art and captures your true essence. Not a forced or contrived version of you, but what I believe is the essence of you that’s waiting and wanting to be seen. The power of being able to step into, see and accept that version of yourself is such a gift. The experience and the images are both something to treasure. Less

My boudoir photo shoot was an amazing experience. The photographer made me feel completely comfortable. She knows exactly what angles work and it just flowed so naturally. I was so pleased with the experience. I would do it again! I would recommend Modern Muse to anyone. There is no need to feel hesitant. You will not regret it.
My shoot was a creative and empowering experience. Her eye and skill are amazing, but that you feel at ease is extraordinary.
Hands down the most comfortable/collaborative/creative experience I've had with a photographer. We both love lines, shapes, and bouncing ideas off each other was a breeze. Once I heard triangles are her favorite I dropped down and gave her this one - what a pleasure
If you aren’t sure if you “should” do a budoir shoot, or just think you’ll look “weird”, or have “rolls” or want to lose 10lbs first... get over it all ASAP!! I got to see me the pics from my shoot with Allana and my day/week/month/year was made! And I’ve shamelessly been looking at them everyday, and trying to figure out where I want to hang one. These are some of the classiest and most stunni... More
If you aren’t sure if you “should” do a budoir shoot, or just think you’ll look “weird”, or have “rolls” or want to lose 10lbs first... get over it all ASAP!! I got to see me the pics from my shoot with Allana and my day/week/month/year was made! And I’ve shamelessly been looking at them everyday, and trying to figure out where I want to hang one. These are some of the classiest and most stunning photos of my self that I’ve seen and I’ve been avoiding getting in front of the camera for all the reasons I listed up top. Allana did more than prove me wrong. I think everyone needs to do this, even if it’s just for yourself, even if you don’t have anyone that you think you would share them with, it’s really something that you should do for you. I would say thank you for giving me my confidence back, but it’s more than that. This shoot gave me a level of confidence I never had before. Thank you Allana!! So much love for you and what you do.
