[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Central PA is filled with photographers willing to shoot boudoir sessions, so when you’re shopping around for a boudoir photographer for your own photo shoot, be sure you’re comparing apples to apples. Look. You’re not dumb—you know photographers are not all made of the same caliber, but you may not know specifically what to look for when hiring a boudoir photographer, so let me help guide you on this topic, because there is more to it than just having beautiful images taken. “For me it was never about the pictures. It was having the courage to try, the faith to be guided by someone safely through the process, and the satisfaction of knowing I Did It!!” –Krystal Does the Photographer Specialize in Boudoir? Why is this important? I mean, if a photographer can take great pictures of a family or a bridal party,  they can take great boudoir photographs, right? Maybe. Boudoir is really in a class by itself—the photographer must know what lingerie looks good on what body shape so they can educate you on what to wear; they must know how to use shadows/lightening to diminish/flaunt certain body parts; and they must master posing women of all shapes and sizes, creating curves and angles to flatter your figure. It’s difficult to learn all of the nuances that come with photographing a genre if you don’t specialize in that genre. And this is why it makes sense to hire a photographer who shoots exclusively boudoir/contemporary glamour, such as I have been doing since 2014. “For the very first time in my life, at age 47, I saw myself as not only attractive but beautiful! Shannon is not just a boudoir photographer, she’s an encourager!” –Chessie REQUEST INFORMATION | SCHEDULE PHONE CONSULT Does the Boudoir Photographer Work with “Everyday Women”?

During her phone consult, Carly mentioned she’s getting ready to go to Europe for a year to be a hiking tour guide. She’s not 100% sure where in Europe the company she’ll work for is sending her but she’s game for wherever… Carly took that same up-for-anything attitude and applied it to her boudoir session—when I learned she loved hiking I told her to bring her hiking boots and I’d try to work them into her photos (once again, taking something that’s not sexy and figuring out how to make it sexy!) What’s sexier than hiking boots with no pants?! She has such a playful personality and I really wanted to be sure I captured that for her… During her reveal she turned to me and said, “You made me look pretty!”—but the truth is, I just captured what already exists. I also wanted her to see a more sensual side of herself… Who’s up for their own adventure? Contact me today to schedule your consult, where I’ll go over everything—what’s included, what you can expect, pricing/product—in full detail! A big thank you to lead stylist, Nath, for doing a great job on Carly’s hair and makeup; and to Dianna, for assisting. Until next time, Shannon Contact me today to schedule your phone consult!
