Dana’s Race Car Session | Central PA Boudoir | Shannon Hemauer Photography
Dana contacted me in March of this year because she was turning 50 in October and wanted to celebrate this milestone. During her phone consult, she asked if we could shoot at her boyfriend’s garage—he owns a race car and it was her dream to be photographed in it/on it. So I said let’s make it happen!
While she wasn’t doing the session for her boyfriend, she knew he’d love them, so she wanted to keep this a surprise to him… with some crafty planning on her end and figuring out logistics on my end, we made it work. We started out in the studio, shot a few outfits there, and then caravanned it to the race car garage.
Below you’ll find a few of her images sprinkled throughout her client interview. Take a moment to read things over, and then contact me today to schedule a phone consult so we can discuss your ideal boudoir session.
Before | Shannon Hemauer Photography
How long have you been wanting to do a boudoir session and what made you decide now was the time to do one?
A few years. It took [time for] me to get the courage. It was a birthday present (50) for myself.
What made you decide Shannon Hemauer was the photographer to work with to do your boudoir session? A classmate had chosen Shannon, and shared [her images on] Facebook. I decided to make that call.
