Meet René | Boudoir Photographer | Carlisle PA

Boudoir | Shannon Hemauer Photography Carlisle, PA

I’d like to introduce you to René. René writes a blog, “Black Girl, Lost Keys“—what makes her blog unique? Her blog is dedicated to exploring the challenges a person of color with ADHD faces navigating the world. Per her Facebook page, “Mental health is still taboo in our society, but especially within the black community. Black Girl, Lost Keys seeks to bring education and humor to some serious topics, and promote unity for ALL people, regardless of race or mental health diagnosis.” René booked a session with me because she wanted to update her website with a professional photo of herself. With the fun spirit she has, I knew the dress I selected for her had to be fun and bright, too! I hit the nail on the head with this fun pink number! And look how amazing she looks in it! She OWNED that dress that day! I’d also like to point out the Power of Posing strikes again. Do you see how, when compared to the “Before” shot, clothing and especially posing makes a difference in how you look in pictures? René was ALL about taking selfies throughout the morning—I photobombed this one! So I decided we had to have a little bit of fun and incorporate her “taking a selfie” during her session—take a look at the image below and you can see her face on her phone! If you’ve been following me for a bit online or if you’re one of my past clients, then you’ll know I have a “Signature Necklace” that is all bling-bling. I was getting ready to put the necklace on René when I realized she HAD to wear as a hair piece! AH! Look how elegant she is wearing it. <3 Think this looks like fun? We’ll you’re correct!

Laura: “Tummy be Damned!” | Shannon Hemauer Photography

Contemporary Glamour | Shannon Hemauer Photography Lancaster, PA

Laura is a quick-to-laugh mother of two who wanted to do a boudoir session for her husband. Below I’ve included Laura’s testimonial throughout the blog. What a wonderful experience from beginning to end! I felt so comfortable with Shannon from the moment I met her. She welcomed me into her home and just sat and got to know me. I decided she was the photographer I wanted to do my shoot. She calmed my anxieties and assured me I would have a wonderful experience: which I did! I had so much fun picking out outfits and even chose some out of my comfort zone. I am self conscious of my belly and as a larger woman, tend to keep it covered. But the experience was making me brave and I decided to go for the outfits that I liked, tummy be damned. The photo shoot was amazing. It was so much fun to have my makeup and hair done by a professional. Shannon, her assistant [Dianna], and makeup artist [Nath] were all so friendly and fun, it was like hanging out with friends. They made me feel at ease and before I knew it, it was over. When I picked up my pictures, I was so happy. They were beautiful and made me feel beautiful. I really encourage every women to try this at least once. You won’t be sorry. Have you been wanting to do your own boudoir or contemporary glamour portrait session with me? Well, first, YA!, and secondly do not wait to scheduled your consult–as I write this, I’m booked solid six months out! Contact me today! As always, a big thank you to my lead stylist, Nath Kreider, for doing a lovely job on Laura’s hair and makeup, and thank you to my assistant, Dianna, for

Sara | Boudoir New Cumberland PA | Shannon Hemauer

Boudoir Shannon Hemauer

Sara is my new BFF. That’s what happens when you (professionally) adjust a woman’s thong while she is posing for pictures! Sara is a shy-at-first but confident woman who has been wanting to do a boudoir session for some time. She saw the portraits I did for her friend Jenn Allen and decided she had to work with me! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—I’m a big fan of corsets to cinch in a waist! Sara bought hers from Hips & Curves—look how much shape it gives her! I love it! We selected this stunning green gown for her included dress rental—seriously, how amazing does that color look on her? She makes this wall look amazing! 🙂 I think this is probably one of my favorites of her—she just looks like she is having fun and is beaming from the inside. Or this one may be my favorite—I love that you don’t really see anything, yet you DO! When I asked Sara which image was her favorite, she quickly said this one: Here she is holding the matted print during her portrait reveal. Does this look like fun? Contact me today to schedule your complimentary consult so we can discuss how you want to be photographed. I’m now booking for August! A big thank you to Sara for selecting me to be her boudoir photographer, and a big thank you to my lead stylist Nath Kreider, who has become a dear friend over these past three years we’ve worked together. Until next time, Shannon Contact me today to schedule your phone consult!

Tiffany | Shannon Hemauer Photography

Boudoir Shannon Hemauer

Tiffany is a wonderful example of many of you ladies out there—convinced you need to lose weight before your boudoir session. Tiffany is also a great example of saying you want to lose weight before your session (even booking a session as incentive to work out) but, to be honest, that doesn’t usually happen. AND Tiffany is a fantastic example of why losing weight is not needed to look a-maze-ing in your portraits—between hair/makeup, clothing, and especially posing (I direct you the entire session), those curves become a show stopper. Have you heard the saying confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can wear? Well it’s true! Confidence comes through, even when wearing nothing but heels and a white sheet. Stop telling yourself you want to lose 5, 10, 30 pounds before you book a boudoir session with me. Trust me, you will be stunning in your portraits—you don’t need to lose weight to achieve this. Contact me today to schedule a consult so I can address any concerns you may have—I promise you are in good hands. As Alisha the Assistant said in her client interview last year, ‘Honestly when you see your images, the LAST thing you are thinking about is what size you are. [When looking at Tiffany’s pictures] was your first thought ANYTHING other than ‘Wow!’?’ Still hesitant? That’s totally OK! I invite you to learn a bit about me, browse through my boudoir/contemporary glamour/before & after galleries, feel confident you are in good hands, and then contact me. Did you see the booking incentive I’m offering right now? Schedule a session for August, September, October, or November 2017, and you’ll receive a complimentary 16×20 acrylic portrait! This is a BRAND NEW PRODUCT and you cannot purchase it—you must book a session with me for those mentioned months! (And you want to move quick—I
