Lori | Shannon Hemauer Photography

Boudoir Shannon Hemauer Photography Carlisle PA

Lori’s husband, Jim, contacted me late last year because he wanted to surprise his wife of almost 10 years with a boudoir session in February of this year. During our consult, he mentioned they live about two hours away so I suggested we do a rare Saturday session so they could have a long weekend away and then have a night on the town after her session with her hair and makeup done. Now, it turns out Jim has a big appreciation of lingerie, and all Lori had to do was look in her own closet to do some “shopping.” What she brought for her session was perfect for her. Such a sweet couple!   A big thank you to Ashley Becker for helping Lori look a-maze-ing, and to Alisha the Assistant for taking the fun behind-the-scene images! Are you thinking shooting a session with me is something you want to do? Well, I invite you to learn a bit about me, browse through my boudoir/contemporary glamour/before & after galleries, and then contact me today to schedule your complimentary consult to discuss how you want to be photographed.

Remember the session I did with Mr. and Mrs. Walker? Well after they saw their portraits, I chatted with Mrs. Walker about her experience. If you find that you relate to her answers, please contact me today so we can discuss how you want to be photographed. How long have you been wanting to do a couple’s contemporary glamour session and what made you decide now was the time to do one? Quite some time, however it was not a priority on my list until I remarried. I experienced a traumatic divorce that left me feeling insecure, lacking self-confidence and a disgusting view of my body. What made you decide Shannon Hemauer was the photographer to work with to do your couple’s contemporary glamour session? I could tell after one phone call with Shannon she was the one! Shannon wanted to know me. Not only did she want to know me she wanted me to feel empowered to express what I wanted to accomplish. What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the reveal? Every part was unbelievably FUN…EXCITING…ADRENALINE PUMPING GREAT TIME! 🙂  Shannon’s assistant [Alisha], and make-up artist [Nath Mao] are one of kind. Hats off to the Shannon’s Girls. What did you think when you saw that first image of yourself? Breathtaking. How did shooting this session with Shannon Hemauer change your outlook on yourself? Are you more confident?  Invigorating. Shannon has opened my eyes to accepting myself which is a gorgeous woman in and out of photos. Before this experience, did you feel you were photogenic? If no, do you feel you are photogenic now? I have never thought I was photogenic. Now, oh yes…. Before this experience, what concerns did you have in regards to hiring a photographer? I wanted to enjoy every

The majority of my female clients are boudoir clients, which usually means the session is a surprise to their significant other, so rarely do I photograph men. The woman in these pictures booked her boudoir session and then asked me to take a few photographs of her and her husband together in their wedding attire—they are newlyweds! So the morning of her boudoir session, he arrived just as we were finishing her hair/makeup so I could take a few portraits of them together, then once we were done, he left so I could shoot the boudoir portion. He came/left thinking it was JUST for the wedding portraits—he has no idea about the boudoir portion, which will be a Christmas gift. Although I don’t shoot men often, this is something that’s always an option to all of my clients, to have your boyfriend/husband, son(s) come either at the beginning of the session (right after hair/makeup is finished) or toward the end of the session (this just avoids the men-folk from being bored and grumpy) so I can take beautiful portraits of you with the men you love. I encourage you to contact me today to schedule your complimentary consult so we can discuss how you envision your own session. A big thank you to the talented Nath Mao for styling Mrs. Walker’s hair and doing her makeup!
