PA Boudoir Studio | Amy’s Session | Shannon Hemauer Photography

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

I decided to do my boudoir session to celebrate turning 40! But also I wanted—honestly needed—to find & embrace my inner beauty. I’m a mom of two beautiful girls, and since taking on the “Mom” role, I feel like I’ve lost a piece of myself. I’ve gained weight, left my job, gave up my social life… but gained so much more. Although my girls are young, I wanted them to know how important it is to embrace our inner beauty. We live in a hard society and I want everyone to love themselves. Our body goes through a lot to bring these babies into the world & I personally wanted to find the beauty in all the added pounds. I will always do my best to improve my mind, body & sole. This session touched on all those things in more ways than I could have imagined. -Amy

How long have you been wanting to do a boudoir session?
A year.

What made you decide Shannon Hemauer was the photographer to work with to do your photo shoot?
She made me feel so comfortable when we talked on the phone.

How did the reality of your session compare to your expectations going into it?
I really didn’t know what to expect, as I haven’t done anything like this before.

What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the image reveal?
I enjoyed the entire experience. I was excited for my session but yet was still very body conscious. I had my husband with me for the image reveal & had several images that I absolutely loved the minute I saw them! I was very excited to see the shower scene ones.

Did you leave your photo shoot worried about your hair/makeup (Maybe you thought the makeup was too dark or your hair didn’t look like you.)?
No, not at all.

Did you leave your boudoir experience worried that the posing felt awkward?
Shannon was very honest from the beginning that the posing wasn’t going to feel comfortable or sexy, but through the camera it absolutely does [look it] & once you see your images, you totally understand what she’s saying.

What were you more nervous about—the session or the image reveal? Why?
I think I was more nervous about the session, being it was a totally new experience. But anxious to see my images at my reveal.

Did you arrive to the image reveal worried if you’d like your images? Why?
No, during my session I had a feeling that certain poses would turn out well.

What did you think when you saw that first image of yourself?
Wow!

If you had been worried about the hair/makeup/posing, did you like what you saw in your portraits?
Yes!

Would you consider yourself a women who is very critical of herself in photographs? If yes, why are these portraits different from photographs in the past?
Yes, I’m always critical of myself in pictures. I think I truly looked beautiful in these pictures & I think it reminded me of the person I was before being “Mom.”

Before this experience, did you feel you were photogenic? If no, do you feel you are photogenic now?
I’ve always been told I’m photogenic, not sure I believed it, but I certainly just tried to go with it.

Before this experience, what concerns did you have in regards to hiring a photographer?
Just how I would feel with my body in front of strangers.

Would you recommend a boudoir photo shoot with Shannon Hemauer Photography to your friends? Why or why not?
Yes, 100%!!! I think it would be a wonderful thing for every woman to do at some point in their life.

A big thank you to stylist Athena Benzel for doing another amazing job for hair/makeup. And thank you to my kick-ass assistant, Dianna.

Until next time,

Shannon
