Delane | Lancaster PA Boudoir Photo Shoot | Shannon Hemauer Photography

Boudoir Harrisburg Pennsylvania Photographer Shannon Hemauer Photography

Delane (rhymes with Melanie) is an amazing woman. Her outlook on life is one of gratitude and appreciation, even though she’s been through some shit. You cannot help but smile when you speak to her—she radiates joy. Would you believe she’s in her early 50s (Very little post-production was needed! She really is in amazing shape.), a mother of one, and a grandmother of three? She is a self-proclaimed workaholic, often working 60-70 hours a week at the restaurant she manages, and when she’s working she is often found in her signature pink heels. (Yes. She wears heels while working that 60-70 hour week!) What makes Delane’s positive attitude so amazing is she donated her kidney two years ago to her then-husband of almost 20 years, who then in turn cheated on her with the nurse who took care of him after the surgery. You read that correctly: Delane donated her kidney to her then-husband, who then cheated on her with the nurse. To keep things professional I won’t tell you what I think about that… Her divorce became official two days before her session with me. When I asked Delane why she was doing this boudoir session, she told me: I am doing this for me. A while back I was going to do this for a gift for the husband… My new single life made me want to do this for me! I see me differently! I see my smile now—not the wrinkles! Some of my friends think I’m crazy… some think it’s awesome! I really don’t care because it’s strictly for me! I have become a very strong, independent woman who finally really loves herself. I don’t have a man in my life but I feel more loved than I ever have! When my husband left me

Dana’s Race Car Session | Central PA Boudoir | Shannon Hemauer Photography

Boudoir Photographer Shannon Hemauer Photography near Lancaster PA Shannon Hemauer

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. 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. What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the reveal? Posing in the garage let me be ME. Did you leave your session worried about your hair/makeup (Maybe you thought the makeup was too dark or your hair didn’t look like you.)? Did not worry. Did you leave your session worried that the posing felt awkward? Somewhat, because this was way

Amy: Turning 50 with Grace

Shannon Hemauer Photography Gettysburg PA Boudoir and Contemporary Glamour

Amy, who is a paramedic (which I learned is different than an EMT!) is turning 50 this month, PLUS she’s lost 26 pounds on Weight Watchers. She decided to do the boudoir session because of her milestone birthday, as well she wanted to do something special for her husband who is a police officer. Below you’ll find Amy’s client interview. The gray shirt Amy is wearing in one of the images is her husband’s police shirt…for privacy I’ve removed the shirt patches. How long have you been wanting to do a boudoir/contemporary glamour session and what made you decide now was the time to do one? I honestly had never thought about doing a photo session until I started seeing everyone’s pictures/blogs on Facebook. What made you decide Shannon Hemauer was the photographer to work with to do your boudoir/contemporary glamour session? There were so many positive comments from clients. Not to mention that her pictures speak for themselves. What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the reveal? Oh my, so hard to say. All of it was great. Did you leave your session worried about your hair/makeup (Maybe you thought the makeup was too dark or your hair didn’t look like you.)? Absolutely not! I left there with my head held high and I felt amazing! Did you leave your session worried that the posing felt awkward? No, I trusted Shannon, and again, her pictures speak for themselves. What were you more nervous about—the session or the reveal? I was nervous in different ways about both. I was out of my element for sure with the session, but everyone put me at ease. I was nervous about the reveal, even though her work is amazing. Did you arrive to the reveal worried if

Bonnie | Boudoir Carlisle PA | Shannon Hemauer Photography

Boudoir | Carlisle PA | Shannon Hemauer Photography

Bonnie scheduled her boudoir session to be on her actual birthday, and what a birthday it was for her! What woman doesn’t want to feel glamorous on her special day? Check out the boots in the image below—she borrowed them from her daughter! Bonnie had one request for her session, and that was we do a shot like you see below. She saw a similar image online, sent it to me and asked, ‘Can we do this???’ Um. Yeah! I’d like to point out to the ladies that she is wearing a full pantyhose vs thigh highs. So often we as women think only thigh-highs are sexy, but this outfit would not have looked the same… For her contemporary glamour portion, Bonnie selected a LBD with a very flattering neckline. Who knew a white undershirt could look so fantastic while lounging on a white couch wearing just panties and black boots? A big thank you to my lead stylist, Nath Kreider, and my assistant, Dianna, for doing your thing! If you think this looks like fun (which it is), please contact me today to scheduled your consult—I’d love to hear how you want to be photographed.
