Boudoir photographer Shannon Hemauer shares a selfie.

Hello, hello! I’m Shannon Hemauer (pronounced Hey-mau-er) and I’ve been a luxury boudoir photographer located in Dillsburg, PA, for women of all shapes, sizes, and beliefs since 2014.

I’m proud to say I only shoot this genre of photography—by specializing in boudoir, I’ve mastered the lighting and posing that will hide what you want to hide and flaunt what you want to flaunt. By shooting exclusively boudoir, I have the proper equipment needed to capture empowering portraits of my clients.

I’m drawn to portrait photography rather than lifestyle or landscape. I like the challenge of figuring out how to place my subjects so there is a connection between them and the camera. I love posing each woman, setting up the frame, and making it as perfect as possible. (I think that stems from my personality—I’m not a perfectionist but I certainly like things to look the best they can.)

I enjoy the connection I have with each woman as she relaxes and has fun working with me. It makes me happy seeing the appreciation she has for photography after the session is over—there is much more than just sitting pretty and smiling—and she feels my passion from start to finish.

I truly love being a boudoir photographer.

One of the best parts of this job—I’ve developed a long-lasting friendship with many of the woman I’ve worked with. What job allows you to have such a connection?! I love what I do!

I earned my degree in writing and I see a lot of similarities between writing and taking pictures, which is why I believe I fell in love with photography. Both are forms of communication and ways to express emotion, just of different medians.

I am a United States active duty Air Force veteran, wife, and mother. I would be honored to take such personal portraits of you—please contact me so we can discuss how you want to be photographed.

I’m also an award-winning photographer, earning Bronze Merits for my image submissions to the Portrait Masters Awards and Accreditation competition! In July 2021, I earned the Associate accreditation level, which is the first level of mastery offered by the Portrait Masters Awards and Accreditation and is only awarded after earning the required points on my images. In 2023, I was awarded one of the “Best of Boudoir” honors by the Association of International Boudoir Photographers (AIBP).

Please see the Awards page to see the winning images.

I look forward to getting to know you and learning your ‘why’ for wanting to do a boudoir session.

Sincerely,

Shannon Hemauer
