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

I could never have imagined that I would ever feel as beautiful as I did experiencing a boudoir session with Shannon. Not only was the entire day of my session fun and unforgettable, the image reveal blew me away. When I saw my images, I actually cried [happy tears]. I was stunned. I was STUNNING! And I was overwhelmed with gratitude for this experience… Shannon captured me in the most beautiful way and I cannot recommend her enough! I am forever grateful and can’t wait to book my next session! -Megan

Amanda runs her own Fans Only page and wanted some professional images to use for her marketing. What was fun about this session—she’s very comfortable in her own skin and was game to try a few “naughtier” (but still classy) poses that some clients may shy away from.

Selma and her husband are regulars at the taproom my husband and I own in Mechanicsburg. She and I struck up a conversation one evening while I was there and we became fast friends… which lead to her requesting information on my boudoir sessions…

She asked that her face be removed from the images I share publicly, so while some of the cropping may seem odd, there is a reason for it. (I wish you could see Selma’s eyes! She makes the best “come hither” eyes!)

“I honestly hated looking at myself in photos and I honestly never thought about doing a boudoir session until I saw Shannon’s amazing photos! I didn’t have any specific reason other than I figured that I’m not getting any younger, so why not?! I really had no expectations going into it—we’re all our own worst critic. The session was comfortable and fun! I thought I would be a mess at it, but that thought quickly went out the window! Her entire team was friendly, personable, and instantly put me at ease. After seeing myself in professional makeup for the first time, going through the poses, and seeing some of the shots as we went along, I felt hot! You’re coached through everything and posed perfectly, so there is no need to worry about losing weight beforehand. After shooting began, they weren’t any moments where I felt uncomfortable or exposed. I would absolutely do a shoot with Shannon again in the future—do it, you will not regret it! You will come out of it feeling strong, beautiful, and confident!”-Bri

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

I have always struggled to maintain my weight and once it got to a point where I was almost 200 pounds, I finally did something about it. I have periods or certain things where I have low self esteem but usually pick myself back up or have a great support system who help me do that. I am doing [the boudoir session] as a gift to myself to wrap up [my] journey towards better health and taking control of my life. I am also doing it as a gift to my [now husband] who has been with me every step of the way. I want to feel empowered and show my body the love it deserves. I also want to do something out of my comfort zone and just grow from the experience.
