Amy | Lancaster PA Boudoir | Shannon Hemauer Photography

Contemporary Glamour York PA Shannon Hemauer Photography

Amy told me she really likes the color pink, so I went out and found her one of the pinkest dresses I could find for her to wear for her dress rental. That’s her necklace in the image above, that she so sweetly donated to the studio wardrobe. I love that we started her session, though, a bit more casual than what I normally do. A big thank you to lead stylist, Nath, for doing a great job on Amy’s hair and makeup, and to Dianna, for being an awesome assistant. Thinking about doing your own boudoir session with me? Please contact me today so we can schedule a complimentary phone consult to discuss how you want to be photographed.

Betty: Making Golf Balls Look Good | Hershey PA Boudoir | Shannon Hemauer Photography

Contemporary Glamour Shannon Hemauer Photography Mechanicsburg PA

Betty is one of those people who just make me giggle when they enter the room. Her smile is infectious and she is so quick to laugh! And you should have seen us laughing when I was trying to figure out how to photograph her with her boyfriend’s golf balls and club! I mean, HOW in the world does one do this for a boudoir session without making the images appear raunchy? Well, just like I’ve done with the donut session, and hunting bow,  and other ordinary objects like books and guitars, I was able to make it work! Scroll down to see Betty with some balls in her hand! Also below is Betty’s client interview—take a moment to read through her responses and see if you can relate. If yes, then contact me today to schedule your phone consult. 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 have wanted to do a session for about 2-3 years. I was introduced to this type of photography from a show I used to watch, “Married at First Sight,”  where a participant did one of these photo sessions and I thought the idea was a very good idea. I did google on this type of photography close to my area at that time and the closest one was in Delaware. I never took it further until I joined FB in May 2018 (Finally—LOO) and happen to see Shannon’s post/advertisement.  Then I knew it was a ‘sign’ and something that I needed to act on now. What made you decide Shannon Hemauer was the photographer to work with to do your boudoir/contemporary glamour session? The reviews I read and I also liked the presentation of her marketing.

Madame Professor | Harrisburg PA Boudoir | Shannon Hemauer Photography

Boudoir and Contemporary Glamour Portrait Photography Shannon Hemauer Photography Harrisburg PA

“Madame Professor” had me and my team in tears from laughing so much during her session. During the planning portion of her session, Madame Professor randomly emailed me and asked if she could be photographed with donuts because her boyfriend loves donuts. I wish you could have seen my face as I read THAT email. Like, how in the world do I make donuts look sexy in a boudoir session?! But I think I succeeded and we had a blast making her vision come to light. Madame Professor is, as the name suggests, a professor, and because of her job we agreed it was best to keep her identity private, but that also means images with her face aren’t shareable, including most of the donut images. That’s OK! I think you’ll still enjoy the two images I am sharing, as well as I think you’ll enjoy her client interview. Please take a moment to read over her answers and if you find you can relate to her, contact me to schedule your complimentary phone consult to discuss how you want to be photographed. 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, like many women, struggle with not feeling “good enough,” not “pretty enough”… just not “enough” in general. Yet externally, I get validation from others. They tell me I AM pretty enough and good enough. I rarely believed them. I wanted to see what everyone else supposedly sees, and I knew I couldn’t see myself on my own, as strange as that sounds. I needed help. I needed to see myself in the way others see me instead of the lens with which I commonly see myself: my wounded childhood lens. When I

Mrs. L. | Hunting Bow Boudoir | Shannon Hemauer Photography

Shannon Hemauer Photography Central PA Boudoir and Contemporary Glamour

Mrs. L. is a newlywed—she did her boudoir session as her wedding-day gift to her now-husband—and really wanted to make her session something special to her groom, so she snuck his hunting bow out of the house…and then prayed he wouldn’t decide to go target practicing while she had it at her session! Thankfully all was well and we were able to pull everything off without him being none the wiser. 🙂 Below is her client interview—read through her answers and if you find that you can relate, contact me today to schedule your complimentary phone consult. 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? Honestly, I never really thought about it before. What made you decide Shannon Hemauer was the photographer to work with to do your boudoir/contemporary glamour session? I first saw that she was a friend of a friend. Looked into her work and decided why not. What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the reveal? The entire process was terrific. Can’t say I liked one part over another. 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.)? Makeup was definitely heavier than I normally wear but I put all my trust into Shannon and her team. They know best, this is what they do. Did you leave your session worried that the posing felt awkward? Yes, I did feel like the posing was awkward, but again, I put all my trust into Shannon. What were you more nervous about—the session or the reveal? I was more nervous about the session. Did you arrive to the reveal worried if you’d
