    This is by far the most comprehensive tutorial I have ever come across in CreativeLive. She not only provided high end tips and advise but also covered details on gear, props and a code of conduct. Loved it!

    I own about 60 Creativelive courses...this one is absolutely, hands down, one of the best I have invested in. Lou knows what she is doing and she teaches it well, holding nothing back. Her setup and execution of a shoot is laden with so much information that it is fortunate I own this class and able to review over and over again. Amazing and engaging...thank you so much!

    More than the title tells. I got quite a few ideas for shoots I would like to try.

    Lou is one of my favorites. Although I shoot primarily woman, I don't do Boudoir. I love her calm, methodical style, and attention to detail. I respect that she always makes her women look elegant and empowered instead of objectifying them. Her images are sensitive and beautiful and I can't wait to watch her again today! I learned so much from her..

    I am amazed at how much information Lou gives away here. Her knowledge of the craft is extremely apparent and the end product is always stunning. I could watch this over and over for its ideas and inspiration.

    Lou is one of the most inspiring photographers Ive seen on Creative live. When I watch her, its like watching a great guitar player... in that, she hears the music before she ever plays it. Lighting and posing flows out of her with incredible ease. She inspires me so much! No fluff here, just pure maximum quality info and inspiration. Id love to meet her some day just to thank her for what she has given.
