I meet Kendra in January 2018, when she brought her ailing mom to me for a contemporary glamour portrait session—Kendra knows the importance of existing in portraits, and really wanted to own beautiful photographs of her momma.
A simple Google search of “photographer who does hair and makeup” led me to Shannon Hemauer Photography. I was looking for someone to take pictures of my mom. She’s very ill and I wanted to do something special for her. Shannon was gracious enough to fit my mom in her schedule. I went with my mom to her photo shoot. It was magical. I hadn’t seen her smile that much in months. It’s a special memory I’ll keep forever.
My mom’s photo shoot was so magical I wanted to experience it for myself. I turned fifty years old this year. I deserve some smiles and magic myself!
A few months later, Kendra did just that!
Kendra is an easy-going gal, and wanted her outfits to reflect this, so we went with a more casual approach when planning her looks.
But she also wanted to work her love of bicycling into her session and requested one of her outfits be her husband’s favorite racing getup on her. We worked in a pop of red with a pretty bra.
I was nervous and excited before my photo shoot. I thought since I’m a bigger girl it’d be impossible to make me look spectacular. I was wrong! Nath, (a true hair and makeup artist) made me look fantastic! When the actual photo shoot started I breathed a sigh of relief and just had fun. Then I had to wait for my reveal. It seemed like forever.
And finally, she wanted to have portraits that her own children would cherish, so she selected this beautiful blue dress as her dress rental.
I am so pleased with my pictures. I look at them sometimes when I need a little confidence boost and say to myself, “You look damn good for a fifty year old.” I had so much fun I want to do it again! Ladies, you all need to do this at least once! Thank you, Shannon!!
A big thank you to lead stylist, Nath, and my assistant, Dianna, for another successful session!
