TARA’S BOUDOIR SESSION

I’ve always wanted to do a boudoir, but didn’t have the confidence. In 2019, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and underwent radiation. Then COVID hit. As I think we all did, I put things off, lost myself a bit, just started surviving with the rest of the world. Last year I decided to put myself first. I started exercising on my Peloton and made lifestyle changes. I’ve lost 35 lbs so far, and am still going strong. This year my husband and I celebrate our 20th anniversary and I wanted to do something special. I took the leap and scheduled a session, so I can give him a this as a gift.

After looking at Shannon’s site and seeing how she made various women look stunning, I knew I needed to do it! Shannon walks you through everything step by step, from start to finish! After seeing the [images at the image] reveal, I knew I chose the right photographer! Thank you Shannon, Athena, Dianna and the women at “Underneath it All” for making me feel beautiful! -Tara

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

What made you decide Shannon Hemauer was the photographer to work with to do your photo shoot?
After looking extensively at her site, seeing client testimonials, and the phone consultation, I knew she was it.

How would you rate your photo shoot experience on a scale 1-10?
10.

How did the reality of your session compare to your expectations going into it?
Shannon thoroughly explained everything prior to the session—there were no surprises.

What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the image reveal?
Two parts: 1) the hair and makeup (Thank you, Athena!), and 2) The image reveal!

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.)?
Absolutely not!! It was amazing!

Did you leave your boudoir experience worried that the posing felt awkward?
To be honest, the posing was a little awkward at times… just thinking of how it would really look in the end… Shannon had already explained this prior to the session, so I expected it, but like she said, it all comes together in the end!!

What were you more nervous about—the session or the image reveal? Why?
The image reveal! I was hoping I did everything right!

Did you arrive to the image reveal worried if you’d like your images? Why?
Yes. [The images were going to be] unedited, so I didn’t know if I was going to like them.

What did you think when you saw that first image of yourself?
I was shocked. I couldn’t believe it was me!

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 still am. There were a few pics [at the reveal] that I didn’t like the way I looked, but it was only a small few.

Before this experience, did you feel you were photogenic? If no, do you feel you are photogenic now?
I never felt photogenic, hence why I’m always the one taking the photo. I now feel I can be photogenic, but with the proper lighting and posing.

Before this experience, what concerns did you have in regards to hiring a photographer?
I was worried the quality would not be there.

Were you surprised at how much fun you had planning your session, shooting your session, and seeing your images?
Yes.

Would you recommend a boudoir photo shoot with Shannon Hemauer Photography to your friends? Why or why not?
Yes! Shannon is very thorough and informative—from the lingerie education to the Pinterest boards, there is so much information that you can’t go wrong with Shannon!
