Long Island Boudoir Photography, Bay Shore NY

Words can’t even begin to express the incredible experiences I’ve had working with Susan. She is the best in the industry. Not only is she the master of her craft with her incredible talent but hands down she is an all around amazing soul. Susan has the unique ability to connect with her clients on a personal level. From the moment you speak to her on the phone you are put at ease and when you step into her studio it’s her energy and positivity that captivate you. After a shoot with Susan you aren’t just getting beautiful pictures you are getting a piece of art. One of the many things I appreciate about Susan’s work is that she is not here to make you look like a completely different person. She is here to enhance your natural beauty and bring out the inner goddess that has been inside you all along. After having a baby and gaining a significant amount of weight I no longer recognized myself. In an attempt to regain my identity I dedicated myself to the gym. After lots of hard work I really wanted to celebrate my efforts with a photoshoot. Having worked with Susan before I was so excited to plan my shoot. I sent Susan my ideas and we put together a plan. To say Susan knocked it out of the park is an understatement. I was speechless when I saw the photos. Susan truly captured my vision. I will forever treasure these photos and the gift of confidence and empowerment you have given me. Thank you Susan and I look forward to working with you for years to come!

I was lucky enough to hear about Susan from my bridal hair stylist who could not stop raving about her boudoir skills. I knew she had amazing talent from the photographs but in no way was I prepared for how magical of a human she would be. I had always wanted to do a boudoir shoot but was hesitant to move forward for fear of safety and being vulnerable around a stranger. From the very first phone call I could tell that Susan was a warm person capable of making me feel safe and comfortable in her presence. She listened to my ideas and collaborated with me to create an absolute work of art that was completely customized to me and targeted towards empowering the woman I am. On the day of the shoot I walked into the gorgeous studio greeted by a beaming Susan. The changing room was equipped with the most luxurious decor and on the table left for me was a thank you note atop a package of the beautifully wrapped cupcakes. After changing into my lingerie I thought I would be shy and reserved but to my surprise the safe haven Susan has created provided a safe and secure environment for me to be as free and confident as I feel on my best days. This attitude totally showed through my pictures and I came out looking like a supermodel in the entire album. My husband was blown away looking through the images and it felt so great to share such a special moment with him the night before our wedding. If you have ever wanted to do a boudoir shoot but are on the fence or think that you don’t have what it takes TRUST ME, you will leave her studio feeling the most empowered, beautiful version of yourself. My favorite part of it all is knowing that when I am older my husband and I will get to look back on the images and see me at my best through the lens of an incredibly talented artist. Susan is the absolute best at what she does and any person looking to see the best version of themselves expressed through photography should run to book her!

Susan is a very special person. At the time I was going through a body journey and wanted to capture those special moments as I finally felt comfortable in the skin that I was in. I came across Susan's portfolio and there was something special compared to other Boudoir photoshoot I have seen. It had a unique artistic point of view that drawn me to her work.
This was my very first shoot. From the time we discussed ideas of what I had in mind to final execution, Susan is an incredible soul to work with. She made me feel comfortable during the whole process and the most important part was I felt empowered during the shoot. When the photos arrived (which is totally worth the wait!), I was blown away. The moments that were captured was exactly what I had in mind. It was modern, it was timeless, it was ME. Susan has immense talent and definitely recommend her.

Susan is an incredible photographer - her eye for lighting is sheer perfection - she is patient & friendly & professional - I always finish my shoots empowered - you must try it - I myself have done over 8 shoots - love her & I’ll keep coming back! Highly recommend!

I booked a boudoir shoot with Susan as a wedding gift for my fiancé (and for myself ️). Oh my gosh! What can I say about Susan that hasn’t been said? To be around her is nourishing. To work with her is magic. To be photographed by Susan transforms you into art, into beauty, into how you’ve always deserved to feel about yourself. I broke into tears on my drive home. I never felt a soul-deep type of beautiful, nor carried such gratitude for my body—but I had and have since that day. Susan is professional yet personable, funny and warm, beyond talented and creative. The entire process, and connection, were seamless. I swear I already have Susan withdrawal! She’s a pleasure to have met. What a fierce, brilliant human being—I look forward to working with her again in the future. One of the best investments I’ve ever given myself (oh right, and for my fiancé too) I also recommend having your hair and makeup done—totally worth it!

Susan is so amazing! From the first time i spoke with her on the phone there was an immediate connection! When I went to her studio to do the photo shoot it was as if we were old friends from way back! She had everything ready and waiting. She made me feel and look like a million bucks! I was immediately comfortable with her! She is so professional and such a beautiful person inside and out! I started out doing the shoot as a gift and by the end of it I really felt amazing! Susan is truly one of a kind and so talented! I couldn’t believe my eyes when i saw my pictures!

Working with Susan is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. She is truly incredible and a master of her craft. It’s not just having your photo taken, but creating and making you feel like a beautiful piece of art. Her warm energy put my anxious mind at ease straight away.
I had Kelly do my hair and makeup. She was incredible at bringing out my features that were highlighted in the photos. Truly recommend both.
Never thought I’d do something like this, but I loved it so much. Looking forward to working with Susan again in the future.

Susan Eckert and her company Long Island Boudoir Photography are THE REAL DEAL. I really went back and forth on the decision to pursue a boudoir photo shoot as a gift for my husband to be on our wedding day, and from the instant Susan and I connected over Zoom I was sold. Susan really takes the time to listen and learn about you as a person so that way she can envision the most perfect and tailor made shoot for you! By the time it came to shoot, Susan felt like a good friend, making me so incredibly comfortable as we went through the day. That comfortability factor she brought into my photo shoot definitely played a role in helping me to be my best self and add to the overall beauty of the photos. Susan is a force of nature whose work speaks for itself, but on top of it all, she is a wonderful person and professional. BOOK NOW! You won’t regret it!

Susan is a miracle worker… She is a true artist with many gifts! She did a boudoir photoshoot of me for my wedding anniversary-She was incredibly attentive, caring, fun, creative & extremely professional. From beginning to end, before & after the shoot, she made me feel truly special as well as beautiful! She’ll treat you as if you’ve been friends for years. One of the most compassionate people I’ve had the utmost pleasure of working with! Such a breathtaking outcome my photos turned out to be… I’ll treasure these forever & always, Susan:) XO

Susan is the most incredible talented and extremely professional photographer I have ever met in my life.not only does she make you feel calm and comfortable she plans everything that you want even when you don’t know exactly what it is that you want. I went into her studio shaking I was so nervous but the second I met her I knew it was gonna be great! Starting from the make up to switching outfits and ending up being with her the entire day picking out pictures I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and experience! I also had a problem picking out outfits and she had referred me to her friend who helped me pick out every outfit that I needed.whatever I needed and whatever I was nervous about Susan made all my nerves go away and everything perfect! We connected on many other levels also not only for the shoot and she made me feel so comfortable about everything that was going on in my life.she honestly became sort of a friend that I felt comfortable going to for other things than photography.she’s the most amazing person, mother and photographer and I would refer her to anyone that I know. I can’t wait to go back and do another shoot! ️️️

I booked a shoot as a gift for my husband for our wedding day.
When I walked in and met Susan for the very first time, it was as if I was meeting an old friend who I had known forever. One who was excited to see me again.

I was immediately so incredibly comfortable that all of my fears and anxieties about the task at hand disappeared. It is this innate gift of making people feel relaxed that most impressed me about her. Susan is kind, encouraging, professional and, truly, so unbelievably gifted in her craft. As a curvy woman with 20 years of body image issues, she made me feel like the most gorgeous goddess and we got some of the most amazing photos of myself I'd ever seen.

I gave the gift to my husband on our wedding day. He is absolutely in love with it. I have recommended Susan to so many of my friends. She is an absolute dream.

I’m super late to the game on posting a review. I did a shoot with Susan a few years ago as a surprise for my Husband. Susan is an absolute joy to work with. She’s incredibly personable and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet her. The attention to detail she has is immaculate. Every time I pull out my album like tonight, I’m just in awe. The photos are just amazing and leave me speechless and of course my husband LOVED them. I really would love to do another down the road again maybe a maternity version. Who knows? ! But I know when I do that I will have another amazing session because she’s just amazing. 100000million percent recommend.

Susan is a GIFTED ARTIST and an AMAZING woman! We had an instant connection and she made me feel comfortable from the very start! As a woman in my late 40’s this session made me feel Beautiful, Sexy & Empowered! Susan captured and interpreted my vision completely! I am absolutely OBSESSED with my photos.

Susan made what could have been an awkward experience absolutely magical! She made my visions come to life in a way I never thought possible. The thought and care behind each and every photo was abundantly clear and her passion shines through in each photo. It was so much more than a photo shoot but a true experience and a lesson in finding myself. It felt like hanging out with someone I’ve known forever, I just happened to be in lingerie and posing for photos. Completely worth it and I absolutely cannot wait to go back!

This was one of the most amazing and rewarding experiences I've had! Susan is incredibly talented and makes everything comfortable and natural! I absolutely loved the finished product and have found a friend for life! Highly recommend her you will NOT be disappointed!

I had seen Groupon adds during the holiday about boudior photo shoots. I bought the Groupon not knowing what was this was all about. I started researching different photographers and their stories behind their work. I decided to leave an email for Susan because of everything that resonated with me.
I had lost myself after my daughter passed away. I needed to find that woman that went away with her daughter.
This is more about looks to me. It’s to tap into my inner beauty and light and love.
I felt so empowered as woman, a mother and the part of my that I lost.
From the moment I spoke to Susan on the phone to talk about what the photo sessions are like, she calmed my nerves and reassured me. This was the best experience for me because I found more of myself that I had lost. These pictures represent strength, inner beauty and the growth in my life. I’m a survivor and Susan, you were placed in my life for a reason.
We all go through trials and tribulations … it’s up to us to navigate the vessel. My advice to you ladies - DO IT! Stop putting yourselves last, ladies. Embrace all of our imperfections because that’s what makes you beautiful. Be you and make the appointment ️
P. S. I never used the Groupon. You can’t measure quality over quantity. Susan is an artist, so creative and talented. Xoxo

Working with Susan was one of the most amazing experiences ever. I’ve never done a shoot like this before so I was very nervous - but her grace, confidence, beauty and positivity, pushed me to pull my very own out - I had so much fun and felt so empowered. I now have photos to die for (I never knew I was capable of) - that I will cherish and forever remember this very moment in time.as the upmost lifting, powerful and of course, sexy! ️

I don't even know where to begin with how great this experience was. As an anxious, self-conscious woman, there was no other way to describe this experience other than 'transformative. ' I walked in, nervous and hesitant, but only after a few minutes of talking with Susan, it was like talking to my best friend of many years. She put me right at ease with her gentle and reassuring style. And after I started to let myself go and truly feel the entire experience, I completely stepped into my power - which has stayed with me long after the photoshoot (I am feeling more confident and more like myself again after years-long-battles with SSRIs!) I felt like a true hollywood glamour model (what I was aiming for) and man, do the photos show it! Susan knows exactly what to do, how to position, and how to instruct to get every woman to highlight their absolute best qualities (personality, too!). I was dying the entire time looking at the photos over zoom, and I am dying now waiting to see the finished product (a gift album for my fiance as a wedding gift!) Susan is more than a photographer, she is an absolute artist and I hope some day to do some even more creative art-inspired shoots with her! I love her, I love this studio, I love her work, this is a MUST DO!

Susan is amazing! I walked into my shoot nervous and self conscious, I left my shoot with a new found confidence and love for myself in a way I never had experienced. This shoot was an anniversary gift for my husband and the way she put the album together really told a story and of course, my husband was beyond impressed! I highly recommend this experience Susan offers it’s more than just surface level. You will glow from the inside out!
