LaCole did her boudoir session as a wedding-day gift to her now-husband, and while we were planning her session she asked if we could incorporate a fishing vest and pole into a few of the images because her hubby loved to fish…

How long have you been wanting to do a boudoir session and what made you decide now was the time to do one?
Years, but I never felt the need to do it for me! What else do you get a man that has everything? Answer: A Boudoir Session.

What made you decide Shannon Hemauer was the photographer to work with to do your boudoir session?
That she was willing to work with me and my vision of fishing-themed photos. Plus, how she prepares you up to the day of your session.

What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the reveal?
The planning—it made me feel so comfortable and made me not even think twice about being uncomfortable or worried about the session.

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.)?
Heck no!!!! I just was thinking I wish I had the talent  to do my own hair and makeup like that.

Did you leave your session worried that the posing felt awkward?
Oh yes, but I had faith in Shannon that she knew exactly what she was doing!!! But she also explained some posing was going to feel awkward.

What were you more nervous about—the session or the reveal?
The reveal—I never like my photos.

Did you arrive to the reveal worried if you’d like your images?
Yes—that’s when I was nervous even though I felt beautiful the day of my session.

strong>What did you think when you saw that first image of yourself?
I wanted to see more and I was in shock, like that’s not me!!!

If you had been worried about the hair/makeup/posing, did you like what you saw in your portraits?
Hell yes!

How did shooting this session with Shannon Hemauer change your outlook on yourself? Are you more confident?
Extremely more confident and feel very empowered and beautiful—it’s almost a feeling that’s so hard to explain after your session and when you see your photos.

Before this experience, did you feel you were photogenic? If no, do you feel you are photogenic now?
I do feel more photogenic now because I feel like I have some secrets on how to pose for photos to feel comfortable with the outcome.

Before this experience, what concerns did you have in regards to hiring a photographer?
Finding someone I trust in.

Were you surprised at how much fun you had planning your session, shooting your session, and seeing your images?
Yesss! Super surprised! I didn’t think it would be that fun—I’m ready for session 2!

Why should other women do a boudoir/contemporary glamour session with Shannon Hemauer Photography?
Just the experience I think, it’s someone every woman should put on their bucket list.

A big thank you to lead stylist, Nath, for doing a great job on LaCole’s hair/makeup, and to Dianna, for assisting me during the session.
