From the moment I walked into the studio Marian made me feel welcome and comfortable. The entire photo shoot was extremely fun and professional. Marian made me look and feel amazing! And I can’t leave out the talented Tiffany, who styled my hair perfectly and gave me a glowing face for the photos! Absolutely wonderful experience that I will tell all of my friends about! Less

This was so empowering and helpful in starting my journey of loving my body again. Marian was so amazing and made me feel so comfortable. She helped me start having fun and I can’t wait to come back. Less

I had the pleasure to be photographed by Butler and Badou portraits this last week. I did a boudoir shoot for the first time ever for my 10 year wedding anniversary, and was so relieved to work with Marian! She was so cool and collected, supportive and encouraging all while making sure to coach me on poses, faces, where to look, eyes closed or open, etc. I felt totally comfortable throughout the process, and confident in her ability to get the perfect photos! Something else I loved about her process is her info sheets she sends before hand that give a ton of info and ideas to think about, encouragement and overall advise. She has a great process to pick the photos and order what fits you best, and has clearly been very thoughtful in her though process from the clients perspective. I’m so thankful for the opportunity and can’t wait to surprise my husband! Thank you Marian!!! 🩷🩷 Less

Absolutely AMAZING experience! I entered the free photoshoot giveaway on FB & ended up winning. Since my birthday was coming up, I wanted to use the opportunity to get out of my comfort zone to try something new. After being notified I won, they contacted me in a timely manner to give more details about the style of pictures they take (ranging from family portraits to boudoir to even couples photos!) & to get insight into why I submitted an entry & what I would like to get out of the pictures. Communication was professional, efficient, and I felt fully prepared when arriving. In addition to the photos, they also offer to do hair & makeup for the shoot--though I didn't opt for that as I prefer to do my own styling. The experience was even better than I could have ever expected. I was informed beforehand that I would be posed--thank goodness, since I never know what to do with my hands! So upon arriving for the shoot, Marian was warm & welcoming with a smile on her beautiful face, making me feel like I was an old friend & already so comfortable before we even got started. She asked me what vision I had for myself for the pictures & what I wanted to get out of the experience. I cannot emphasize enough how much she truly cared about what I was wanting to get out of the experience. I showed her the clothing and jewelry I brought & she gave her insight about the different ways we could style & pose. I also told her some insecurities I had which she took into consideration when photographing so that I would be captured as my absolute best. Marian is literally the most AMAZING photographer. It was only Marian and I in the studio and her personable and warm personality allowed me to relax and enjoy myself. Not only did she show me how to pose, but also gave compliments like "oh this one is so pretty!", "love how this looks!", "Ugh this is gonna look so good!" resulting in a confidence boost (which was reflected in my pictures as I'm definitely a sucker for verbal praise) & got me even more excited, adding to the overall great experience I was already having. We chatted, laughed, & shared stories. When I say Marian cares about what you get out of the experience, I mean she truly cares about the WHY you're here. Are you here to feel better about yourself and gain self-esteem and confidence? Did you have a big change in your life and want this to reflect who you are today? Do you want to get out of your comfort zone and try something you wouldn't dare try before? Do you always give to others and wanted to gift yourself an amazing experience for once? And then she captures it. After the session, I changed and we went into a separate space to look at the photos. She pulled the pictures up on a projector and did not rush me once as I was going through deciding which ones I did and did not like. I could tell she pulled the absolute best of the pics instead of letting me see EVERY picture including ones where I may have blinked or captured in an unflattering angle which not only expedited the process of choosing but also didn't make me feel like I may not have been looking as good as I thought. She also gave compliments during this time and made me feel beautiful. Having her in my corner while choosing the pictures I liked helped so much and prevented me from a downward spiral of unnecessarily judging myself. She also didn't pressure me to make any big purchases or get anything other than what I wanted, she truly was like a friend helping me love myself. I left the studio feeling confident, sexy, strong, & so sure of myself, with self-esteem soaring. I couldn't wait to see the photos--which were edited & emailed so surprisingly quick as it was just a few days before the holidays. They were edited so beautifully & I couldn't be more grateful for what this experience has done for me. If you are wanting to try something new, need a confidence booster, to see yourself in a new light, or if you feel amazing & want to capture that to look back on years later, I highly recommend Butler & Badou Portraits with Marian and the team.

Marian was so great!! Her energy throughout the session helped me feel more confident about my body and unleashed my creativity as well. I absolutely love her. The makeup artist was great as well. She was very patient with me when I kept blinking as she did my eyes lol. It was over all a wonderful experience and I would love to do another session! Less

Was an amazing experience. I felt comfortable and relaxed. Was able to have great open conversation with no judgement. Didn't have high hopes I would like my body but was extremely surprised at how hard it was to remove pictures as they were all amazing. Pretty pricy but worth every penny. Less

I have never ever liked any photographs of me - none at all. This changed when I went to Butler and Badou. In Marian’s expert hands, what felt clumsy and unnatural become easy and fluid; she managed to capture what I believe is my essence in the pictures she took; I actually looked like me and she managed also to make me look and feel - dare I say it - beautiful! Thank you Marian for a wonderful experience cannot recommend you enough! Less

Marian and Theresa are wonderful. These ladies were so kind and made me feel so so comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures far exceeded my hopes and I can’t wait to share them with my hubby! Kym was fantastic and always helpful with questions before and after the shoot. You will not find a better photo experience anywhere else. Less

I had the BEST experience getting my headshots with Marian!! I strongly recommend using this company for your photography needs.

While I usually hate being in front of the camera, Marian helped me relax and get genuine expression for my personal branding and headshot session. She was really helpful with posing and paid attention to the details. Highly recommend working with her. Less

This was a one of a kind experience, and something that I’d highly recommend to all the ladies. I recently received my pictures, and they are stunning! Marian is an excellent photographer, she is skilled in working with all body types, and the end result is is something I’ll treasure for life! I am forever grateful to Marian for letting me see myself in a different light, and ladies, that is absolutely worth it. This is the epitome of self care and self love, and if you’re wondering what to gift yourself for your birthday, I would strongly suggest the Boudoir experience, promise you, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much Marian, it truly changed the way I look at myself! Less

OMG!! Studion was immaculate and welcoming !!!! She made my husband comfortable and had fun!!! Works very well with our dogs!! Cannot give enough stars!!! They are amazing Less

We went in for family photos in a studio for the first time. From the moment we arrived I was instantly impressed by how nice the studio was. Marian was extremely welcoming and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She made the experience fun and was super engaging with our three year which resulted in genuine smiles. We LOVE the photos we received, and already have family members asking for prints too. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience and for capturing memories that we can hold onto! Less

Marian receives 5 stars from me. She provided photos for our corporate headshots and the entire team are beyond grateful how professional and beautiful we all looked. What a great experience spending time with Marian! Less

"Stunning!" was a frequent comment I received from friends after they saw a Butler & Badou portrait of me. The creative process with Marian is enjoyable. I felt relaxed in the studio. The images from the session are amazing and gorgeous. I cannot wait to hire her again for the next set of portraits! Less

Marian provided a great experience throughout our entire photo shoot and made me feel comfortable right away. She was also incredibly patient with my dog, who was in some of our shots :) The space is clean and new and I'd recommend her for a studio shoot any day. Less

This was our first in studio photo experience and it was beyond our expectations. We are so happy with how the photos turned out. Marian did a great job at capturing our family in such a beautiful way. These photos will be cherished forever and a wonderful memory. Less

Marian is very nice and will never forget our experience in her lovely studio! Very spacious and my extended family had enough room to lounge on the couches while we waited our turn to take photos. My fiance proposed to me during our shoot and I invested in a timeless family photo and frame that will leave my legacy for generations to come. Thank You! - Christine Less

Absolutely in love with Marian! Great energy and makes me comfortable from the very start. She’s really good at directing you when you’re not sure what the heck to do. Really great well rounded photographer because we have shot together in her beautiful, clean very clean, studio and also at the beach. Looking forward to do more work with her! Less

Very nice studio and convenient parking. Marian, the photographer, had many garments to choose from, so you don't have to worry about buying new clothes or making sure the "style" fits: she will help you take care of everything. Beautiful photos and great memories captured with her unique photography style. Less

I had the absolute best time at Butler & Badou Portraits with my 1y 6mo goldendoodle! He's not one to sit still but Marian was able to capture our strong bond! I love love LOVE the photos! I'll def come back to do it again when my second doodle is grown! Less

We had a great time at Butler & Badou portraits. I decided to do a mother’s day shoot with my son and dachshund. I love how all of the photos came out and wish I could have got them all! I ordered a metal collage frame and it came with the digitals. I can’t wait to put up my artwork 💕 Less

Our doggie’s daycare gave us a certificate for portraits so we brought the whole family—dog, human toddler and human adults. We got some great digital family photos and beautiful artwork! I thought it was going to be impossible to get a good family picture with a toddler and my energetic dog, but it worked out great! It really helped that Marian is so patient and understands the attention span of a dog and toddler. Less

It was such a great experience working with Marion. She made me feel so comfortable, and really knew how to get me to relax in front of the camera. I typically feel very uncomfortable in front of the camera and it usually shows on my face. That was not the case with my pics from Butler & Badou! I can't wait to do another session with my whole family!! Less

I was fortunate enough to be invited for a photo shoot with Marian and Mapuana. They made me feel comfortable and BEAUTIFUL! I appreciate the posing tips and amazing shots.
