MALORY’S BOUDOIR SESSION

“I have been menopausal for a little while and it has been a set back in feeling good about myself. I want to do this session as a surprise for my husband because he would never expect it from me but also as a little boost for myself.” -Malory

When I asked her what she was most excited about with doing a boudoir session, she said, “I am excited for a day to feel more than just a mom, a taxi, a cook, a maid… I want to feel beautiful and comfortable in my skin. So on a day when I’m really being hard on myself I can pull out a picture and remind myself who I really can be if I put some effort into myself.”

Below you’ll find my client interview with Malory… take a moment to read over everything, and if you like what you see, contact me today to discuss why you want to do your own boudoir session.

How long have you been wanting to do a boudoir session?
It actually just came to me recently within the last 6 months. Never thought of doing something like this before but wanted to do something special for my husband for our 20th anniversary.

What made you decide Shannon Hemauer was the photographer to work with to do your photo shoot?
I asked a couple of friends who have worked with other [photographers] in the area, and then I started reviewing websites. After reading testimonials, I felt Shannon was the way to go. I searched her website, read and looked at her work, and she seemed to really enjoy and pride herself on making sure potential clients would understand every step of the process.

What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the image reveal?
The planning was my favorite part—it was exciting to [daydream] about being dolled up for a day. The session was more thinking then I imagined (there is a lot going on), and the image reveal was exciting to see how it call came together.

Did you leave your photo shoot worried about your hair/makeup (Maybe you thought the makeup was too dark or your hair didn’t look like you.)?
I left feeling comfortable [enough to walk] around in the grocery store [after the session] with my hair and makeup done. Maybe that is because I did feel beautiful and I usually do not wear makeup.

Did you leave your boudoir experience worried that the posing felt awkward?
Without a doubt the posing was awkward but Shannon explained why things were done the way they were so it was a trust-the-process kind of thing.

What were you more nervous about—the session or the image reveal? Why?
Definitely the session. Due to being a perfectionist, I was worried I was doing things wrong but I am also a very harsh critic of myself and to think of others seeing me was a little nerve wracking but the girls truly helped me get over that after about the first 5 minutes.

Did you arrive to the image reveal worried if you’d like your images? Why?
Absolutely! I was certain there would not be enough good images to work with but Shannon came through for sure.

What did you think when you saw that first image of yourself?
‘Wow these ladies are miracle workers. Okay this may not be as bad as I thought it was going to be.’

Were you surprised at how much fun you had planning your session, shooting your session, and seeing your images?
Yes!

Would you recommend a boudoir photo shoot with Shannon Hemauer Photography to your friends? Why or why not?
Absolutely. I think every woman should do this at least once in her life. Shannon is very professional, her team is wonderful (they are friendly and talk you through the entire process). Shannon really helps with every step she makes you feel comfortable as things progress.
