Cheryl brought a Audrey-Hepburn-meets-Liza-Minnelli vibe to the studio for her session. She had recently gone with a pixie-haircut, and I really think the style looks great on her. And, like many clients before her, even though she did a boudoir session, she asked me to keep those private and just share the contemporary glamour portion of her session, which you’ll see below mixed throughout her client interview below.

Please take a moment to read through her response to my questions, and if you find you can relate to what she has to say, please contact me today to schedule your phone consult so we can discuss how you envision your own session.

How long have you been wanting to do a boudoir/contemporary glamour session and what made you decide now was the time to do one?
It was more of a spur-of-the-moment decision after seeing her page on Facebook. Someone I had worked with had her photos done and I thought what the hell?
