Client Interview: Miss T While it appears Miss T is a women of few words when it comes to her client interview, she is full of spunk and spirt, which I was lucky enough to capture in her boudoir images. How long have you been waiting to do a boudoir session and what made you decide now was the time to do one? A few years – location and price What made you decide I was the photographer to work with to do your boudoir session? Personality What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the reveal? I think the session I felt like a model…. What did you think when you saw that first image of yourself? Shocked How did shooting this session with me change your outlook on yourself? Are you more confident? Definitely more confident – you helped me see that I am beautiful even though I am a curvy full figure girl. Were you surprised at how much fun you had planning your session, shooting your session, and seeing your images? Yes Why should other women do a boudoir session with me? Confidence boost and to spice up their relationship with their significant other…(not that I needed that part) but I am sure it won’t hurt to have these pics on his nightstand. Until next time, Shannon
Kelly Belle Boudoir
I’m taking a walk down memory lane for this week’s blog post and sharing images from my very first boudoir session with Kelly Belle. First posted January 17, 2014. Ooh la la! C’est une session Boudoir. Ooh la la! It’s a Boudoir Session, Kelly Belle Style. For me, one of the most wonderful aspects of learning digital photography is my increased awareness of the beauty found in ordinary objects. What was once a simple glass of wine is now a truly elegant object, especially when held by the beautiful Kelly Belle. Kelly Belle is an aspiring model from York, PA, and she asked me to shoot a boudoir session to add to her portfolio. She arrived at my home on a rainy Saturday afternoon wearing the best item anyone can wear for a boudoir session—confidence. The rain created texture on the window while the cloudy skies softened the light to a perfect glow upon her skin. Playful. Sexy. Entrancing. Perhaps she’d be a good spokesperson for Charms Blow Pops? Mysterious. Empowered. Feminine. You can find more of Kelly Belle on her Facebook page. Shannon Hemauer
