Boudoir Shannon Hemauer Photography Carlisle PA

“You don’t have to be lonely, with FarmersOnly.com!” I would like to start by apologizing for getting the “FarmersOnly.com” song stuck in your head, and if you’re not familiar with the song I’m referencing, take a look HERE. Chrissy met her husband on FarmersOnly.com. She’ll be the first to admit their commercials are a bit cheesy—but effective! She was sitting on her couch one evening, saw the commercial and though she’d give it a chance…only to be disappointed at her options, so she logged out of the site and went about her way. BUT! A few months later she saw another FarmersOnly.com commercial and thought she’d give it another try. And this time, when she logged in, the very first man listed would end up being her husband! Chrissy and her man were married in September 2017 and for their one-year wedding anniversary Chrissy wanted to surprise her man with portraits of her that he’d love. Below you’ll find her client interview with me sprinkled in with a few of her images—please take a moment to read over her answers, and if you find you can relate, contact me 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 started looking into boudoir in late October 2017. I had gotten married in September and had already started to think about what I could give my husband for our one year anniversary. I had been looking on Pinterest to get some ideas and came across some boudoir photos. I had no idea what “boudoir” was at the time. I googled boudoir photographers in my area and came across Shannon Hemauer Photography. I immediately pulled up her website and started looking through

Madame Professor | Harrisburg PA Boudoir | Shannon Hemauer Photography

“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

Before I share with you Jess’s client interview regarding her boudoir session, I want to show you why I say posing is so powerful: In the first image, I had Jess stand as she normally would for an image, then in the second image, I posed her…chin out and down, create a faux waist with hand placement, and arms away from the body. BOOM! Instant figure! Hello chin! Love it! So Jess did her boudoir session after she lost 40 pounds! She and her husband changed the way they eat—eating cleaner, with less processed foods in their diets. I’m hoping when Jess gets to her goal weight, she’ll come back and to another session to celebrate her success! Below is her client interview—please read over her answers, and if you find you can relate to what she’s saying, then please contact me 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 thought about this for a few years. What made you decide Shannon Hemauer was the photographer to work with to do your boudoir/contemporary glamour session?  In looking at Shannon’s portfolio and the reviews she received, there was no doubt that she was the way to go! What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the reveal? The session was so laid back, and no one ever made me feel embarrassed or dumb that I was doing this. 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.)? Just a little bit. Once I walked outside in the sun, I saw how the lighting changed and softened my

Lisa celebrated a milestone birthday AND her 25th wedding anniversary this past July when she did her boudoir session. A quick shopping trip to Underneath It All, a local lingerie boutique I recommend to all of my clients, took care of her outfits—a beautiful gold and black corset; a lace bra/panty set with a sheer robe; and a solid black bra/panty set with a black garter belt. A big thank you to stylist Ashley Becker for filling in for lead stylist Nath, and for doing a great job giving Lisa the look she wanted for her hair and makeup. And of course thank you to my wonderful assistant, Dianna, for keeping me on track. Think this looks like fun? Well it is!
