Valentine’s Day is next week, and I wanted to mention how great a gift card to go towards a boudoir or contemporary glamour portrait session with me would be to give to your wife or girlfriend. (I can snail mail or email the gift card—you decide what works best for you.)

Now, some may argue a gift card is an impersonal thing to do BUT the experience she’ll have before/during/after her session is very personalized—from helping her plan her outfits, to posing her for her specific body, to her portrait reveal.

So let’s do a flashback blog, so you can see how Lisa personalized her boudoir session.

Posted March 7, 2016.


Lisa, a momma of three, wanted to give her husband some amazing portraits of herself as his Valentine’s Day gift. Originally her session was scheduled for January 24th, but getting three feet of snow made us have to reschedule.

Lisa was feeling a bit adventurous while planning her outfits and ordered her corsets from Hips & Curves—a site that makes Alisha the Assistant drool! Seriously nice quality if any of my curvy readers are looking to add a little fun to their own wardrobe.

I love the green color of the dress on her—really brings out her blue eyes and looks great on her skin tone. It’s so much fun to be able to include a dress rental with all boudoir and contemporary glamour portrait sessions—and then I never rent that dress again, truly making it a unique look for my clients.

Lisa stepped out of her comfort zone and ROCKED both of her corset looks. (And Alisha the Assistant is still drooling over the corsets!)

    Lovely, most attractive model…the AFTER shots are amazing. The outfits are fetching. Shannon you are a professional! Am sure your models love the end results and end up purchasing all the pictures you take of them.

      What’s awesome is these are everyday women, not models! The power of working with a photographer who knows what’s she’s doing! 🙂

    I don’t know how you turn every woman you photograph into a fashion model, but you do exactly that. This curvaceous woman is absolutely stunning.
    And tell your assistant Alisha that I am drooling over the garments with her.
