"I felt empowered, uplifted and SEXY!"

What inspired you to book a boudoir session?

I think boudoir photography is something every woman would love to do but, like me, insecurities hold us back. I made the decision to make some better life choices for myself and with that I booked a session to motivate me to stick to those changes. I also knew my husband would be shocked that I did this but LOVE it as well, so it would be a great anniversary present for him. 

How did the experience make you feel?

In the months leading up to my session I literally thought of every excuse I could think of to convince myself OUT of doing this session. I was losing hair because of weight loss so feeling insecure about that and getting close to my 40s, things don't tighten up like they used to! I told Jen I don't remember being this nervous in a long time BUT her and Brian made me feel comfortable right from the beginning. They literally pull out all the stops to make sure you feel and look your best. The session turned out to be so much fun and I still can't explain it but I felt completely different about myself leaving the studio than from when I first walked in! I felt empowered, uplifted and SEXY!

What advice would you give to someone considering a boudoir session?

Insecurities are always going to be there in some way or another, trying to talk you out of having this experience. But we all deserve to feel confident and sexy and you only live once! I can't wait to look back at these sexy pictures of myself when I'm old! I'll tell myself I'm so glad I had this experience and did that!

In what ways did the session empower and boost your confidence?

Doing this session helped me push my insecurities aside and focus on all the good! It was like a natural high that I'm still riding. I look at my pictures so many times a day and I can't believe its me! Not to mention my husband is OBSESSED with the photos!

What made you choose Sheer for your boudoir experience?

Jen and Brian's photography is beautiful, that sells it all. Add to that excellent reviews and it was a pretty easy choice.

Amber's #SheerExperience

“I have been watching the Sheer Facebook page for probably a year before I got up the nerve to book my first session. I have struggled with my self esteem, self love and self acceptance my entire life. As I watched the Facebook page & Instagram I saw wonderfully, beautiful plus size women in their photos done by Jen and Brian and I finally said, ‘if they can do it and look that gorgeous, then I can do it too.’

Going into my session I was nervous and excited but Jen and Brian quickly made me feel at ease and I actually “revealed” way more than I ever thought I would because I felt empowered and encouraged too. It was a shock to see myself in the pictures at the photo reveal but as I saw more and more pictures I realized that what I was seeing was what some of the people closest to me have been seeing for years. I found self love and acceptance in those pictures. I found confidence. I found myself. I still have a long way to go to see myself like that everyday but this is definitely a step in the right direction.”

XoXo,

“I’m uncomfortable with attention - I can barely handle compliments at times.  The idea of celebrating my birthday seldom crossed my mind so I haven’t, at least not in the past two decades.  When I approached forty, I wanted to do something for myself, but the world was shut down and any idea at that time was just a dream.  Fast forward to this year and the idea came back to me.  I was telling a friend, who knew someone who heard about Sheer Photography.  I saw the Facebook page, loved the photos, and immediately booked it.

I didn’t have high hopes for the shoot.  Negative thinking took over.  I have never been photogenic, and I only expected to like two or three photos.  I wanted to cancel the entire week beforehand, but I ended up going through with it anyway.  Meeting Jennifer & Brian put me at ease.  Maybe it was their charming, delightful, down-to-earth personalities; maybe it was the delicious mimosas Brian made; maybe it was the insanely amazing skills Jennifer has as a makeup artist or, maybe it was Brian showing me a brief glance after ever shot that left me shocked and wondering who is that???  I wanted every single photo!  I burst into tears seeing myself in this way.

I’m the girl that’s been bullied at a young age about her weight, rarely dated and when I did, disparaging remarks were made about my body.  I’ve spent more than half my years caring for elderly family members.  If anyone has been in that position, you know that caring for yourself comes last, if at all.  I’ve had years of negative thinking about my looks and shame about my body.  Although I’ve been called sexy in the way I think, in the way I focus on a task that challenges me, or the way I can take control of a situation, I’ve never been called sexy in the way that I look.  More importantly, I have never seen it for myself.  I had to change that. 

This shoot has done far more for me than I can properly explain.  It was almost like Jennifer knew all my insecurities and just said “uh uh – No More” and just like that they vanished.  Then, here comes Brian with his camera and male point of view capturing all your best angles, from every angle.  I walked away with my head higher, more confident and self-assured knowing I’m f&%#$g gorgeous and insanely sexy.  No one can tell me otherwise.  I just needed these specific two strangers to tell me that.  I am forever grateful to them.  I show everyone my photos.  They have undone years of horrible thoughts and I carry them with me everywhere, every day.  I’ve even noticed the attention I’m receiving, or maybe didn’t acknowledge before.

I highly recommend a boudoir photo session for anyone.  Whatever the reason, in the end even if it’s a gift for someone else, you get so much out of it for yourself.  The day is fun, and the photos will last a lifetime.  I think Jennifer and Brian found their calling in this business.  The technical aspect is there, but their personalities make it so much easier on the client to be comfortable and bare themselves in such an intimate manner.  As nervous as I was, I’m going back next year.  I want fruits, pasties, whips and chains – that’s the entire concept of my next shoot and there is nowhere else I’d rather be.”

XOXO,  

Tiffany

Jessi’s Sheer Experience

“I hope my story helps others gain the confidence they so very much deserve. 

I booked my second boudoir photoshoot with Jen and Brian close to a year after my long time fiancé and I split. The last couple years we'd been together were rough, mentally and emotionally. I simply didn't feel as though I was enough for him and he made no effort to make me feel otherwise, only added to the feeling. 

I quit trying to be girly or pretty because I felt like it didn't matter, he didn't notice. Over the year since we split I started thinking less and less of myself, my confidence was non-existent anymore. I booked a session and was determined to feel better about myself. 

The week leading up to my session I was beyond nervous, feeling extra frumpy and started to focus only on my "flaws". The day of, I had a meltdown in the shower, feeling my absolute lowest. I walked into their studio beyond nervous and anxious. I decided at that moment, I was going to give up every doubt I had and let them work their magic. 

After the shoot, when I left to get something to eat so they could do a quick edit, I felt so much different than when I walked in. Still anxious but I felt more confident. Once I saw my images at the reveal, I almost cried. The woman in those pictures was me! The same me that wasn't enough, the same me that wasn't girly or pretty enough, the same me that only saw her flaws that morning. 

If there's one thing I could say to anyone wanting to do a shoot, it would be to GO FOR IT! You're already beautiful, but Jen and Brian have a way of capturing the beauty in a way we never see in the mirror. The confidence they radiate into their clients is surreal. Not all superheroes wear capes, some of them are just the amazing boudoir team that is Sheer Photography!

Thank you both for everything you do, you truly are wonderful people. I cannot explain how thankful and grateful I am that I came in for my repeat session.”

XOXO, Jessi

HOT DAMMMMNNNNNN!!! If you’ve ever thought about stepping into the world of boudoir photography, you HAVE to do it with Sheer Photography! The idea had been on my mind for years, thanks to my best friend who had her own boudoir session done at Sheer a few years ago. However, back then, I hesitated due to a lack of means and my own self-confidence.

Yet, life has a way of circling back. My friend had a second session with Sheer and I got to be there for her reveal. Seeing her confidence grow again and knowing she finally was able to see herself the way everyone else sees her, really made me want that feeling too. The timing just felt right for me, despite my lingering doubts. With her unwavering support, I took the plunge and immediately booked my own session for just a week away! EEK! I’m a last minute kinda girl and I didn’t want to have time to over-think it.

From the very beginning, Jen and Brian were super professional and had a very warm welcoming presence about them. They are experts in capturing the essence of each individual, coupled with a knack for putting clients at ease, immediately dissolved any apprehensions I had. I’m a hair & makeup artist myself, so it was very tough for me to give up control in that area, but Jen's skillful touch with makeup was a welcome reprieve and really added to the whole experience of the day.

What truly set Sheer Photography apart was their genuine commitment to fostering a safe and judgment-free environment. Despite the vulnerability inherent in baring oneself, both Jen and Brian cultivated an atmosphere of acceptance and empowerment. It was liberating to shed inhibitions and embrace my authenticity, knowing that I was in capable hands.

To anyone contemplating a boudoir session, I offer this simple advice: seize the opportunity!!! Regardless of where you stand in life or how you perceive yourself, trust in Jen & Brian and the power of your own SheerExperience. It is a journey of self-discovery and self-love. You owe it to yourself to embrace your beauty, inside and out, and what better way to do so than through the lens of Sheer Photography. Remember, you are worthy, you are beautiful, and you deserve to celebrate yourself in all your splendor!

A message for EVERYONE!

In a world where beauty standards seem to be ever-evolving, it's easy to fall into the trap of comparison and self-doubt. We're bombarded with images of flawless models gracing the pages of magazines and strutting down the runway, their seemingly perfect bodies serving as the benchmark for beauty. But here's the truth: beauty comes in all shapes, sizes, and forms. And you don't need to fit into a specific mold to feel beautiful, confident, and empowered.

Let's talk about the typical models shown in society. With their long legs, sculpted figures, and radiant smiles, they embody the epitome of conventional beauty. But here's the thing: most of us don’t look like a model, and that's perfectly okay. In fact, it's more than okay—it's beautiful!

True beauty isn't confined to a narrow set of standards dictated by society. It's about embracing your unique features, flaws and all, and celebrating what makes you, well, you. It's about confidence, self-love, and owning your individuality with pride.

So what does this have to do with boudoir photography? Everything!!!

Boudoir photography is about more than just capturing sensual images—it's about celebrating your body, your curves, your essence as a woman. It's a chance to step into the spotlight and embrace your beauty in all its glory, regardless of whether you look like a Victoria's Secret model or not.

Imagine this: you, surrounded by soft lighting, draped in luxurious fabrics, exuding confidence and sensuality with every pose. It's a powerful experience—one that allows you to reclaim your beauty on your own terms, free from the constraints of societal expectations.

And here's the best part: boudoir photography is for every woman (and man). Whether you're curvy or petite, tall or short, young or old, boudoir photography is an opportunity to celebrate your unique beauty and embrace your sensuality with open arms.

So, to every person reading this, I have a message for you: you are beautiful, just as you are. You don't need to look like a model to feel confident and empowered. Your beauty lies in your individuality, your strength, and your ability to embrace who you are with unapologetic pride.

If you've ever dreamed of stepping in front of the camera and embracing your sensuality, I encourage you to take the plunge. Whether it's for yourself, your partner, or simply as a celebration of your own beauty, a boudoir session with Sheer is an experience you'll never forget.

Remember, beauty knows no bounds. Embrace it, own it, and let your #SheerBeauty shine.

Miss V's #SheerExperience

“I can't express enough gratitude for the incredible experience I had during my boudoir shoot. Walking in, I was a bundle of nerves and excitement. Wrestling with my own insecurities about how I'd perceive myself in the photos, I wondered, what if I didn't like any of them?

Fortunately, the reviews from two friends who had their own shoots with Sheer gave me the courage to book the session (and show up for it). And let me tell you, they were absolutely spot on! Jen and Brian, you both are true gems. From the moment I stepped into the studio, they made me feel at ease, comfortable, and most importantly, beautiful!

Their guidance throughout the shoot was invaluable. Jen, was like my personal cheerleader, boosting my confidence and making me feel undeniably sexy. Brian’s expertise behind the lens captured moments I never imagined possible.

I've already been singing their praises to more friends, eagerly anticipating my next session with them. The thought of returning for another shoot has become my new obsession!” -Miss V

Bring Your BFF to Your Session!

Hey there!

Whether you already have a boudoir session booked with us or not yet. We want your time with us to be nothing short of amazing! A question we get asked a lot is if you can bring a friend with you. The short answer is YES!!! We know how much having your bestie by your side can enhance your #SheerExperience!!! Just a heads up, though: one friend only to keep the atmosphere cozy and intimate.

Your companion should be someone who's all about lifting you up and making you feel incredible! Before you both step into our studio, make sure your friend is on the same page. They should bring positivity, keep the energy high, and show the utmost respect. The most important thing is your comfort. A friend is more than welcome during hair & makeup, during the session itself and/or during the reveal. A lot of times, women feel more comfortable not having an extra set of eyes on them during the session, but love grabbing lunch afterwards with a friend, then bringing them back to see all the amazing magic we created together. We love having an extra HYPE person there to support you!

At our studio, we're all about creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can shine like the star you are. Let's make this boudoir experience one to remember! 📸💫

Embracing Postpartum Beauty

“When I decided to book another #SheerExperience, it was because I was truly embracing my body postpartum and wanted to capture that empowering feeling again. Having already experienced a Sheer session before, I knew I was in for a treat and some incredible results.”

“From the moment I stepped into the studio, I was greeted with a sense of excitement and anticipation. The makeup, the sets, everything was impeccable, and the poses were not only fun but also empowering. What struck me this time around was how relaxed I felt from the get-go, knowing exactly what to expect, made the second session even more enjoyable than the first.”

“What added to the excitement were the new and updated sets. It made the entire experience feel fresh and unique, offering a different perspective from my previous session. And let me tell you about the album I purchased – it's absolutely GORGEOUS. The photos leap off the pages with vibrant colors, and each page is a work of art in itself. I am a work of art!”

“But beyond the aesthetics, what truly made my experience unforgettable were Jen and Brian. Their professionalism, their warmth, and their ability to make me feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera are unparalleled. Everything about my #SheerExperience, from start to finish, was nothing short of exceptional.”

“If you're considering booking your own boudoir session, I couldn't recommend Sheer Photography more. It's not just about capturing beautiful photographs; it's about celebrating your body, your journey, and your unique beauty. Trust me, you won't regret it.” - Miss N

Embrace Your Confidence: Miss K's Sheer Experience

“I wanted to share a personal journey that has significantly impacted my self-esteem and outlook on life. About a year ago, I was introduced to the world of boudoir photography when a friend of mine had a session at Sheer Photography. Witnessing the stunning results of her shoot left me in awe, but at that time, I couldn't imagine myself having the confidence to wear lingerie.

In the midst of a relationship where I felt neither beautiful nor loved, I took a bold step last September and ended an 11-year chapter of my life. This marked the beginning of my journey to rediscover and rebuild myself. Through a gradual process of reinvention and a commitment to a weight loss journey, I started to regain confidence.

Curious about my friend's boudoir experience, I reached out and asked her about the reasons behind her decision and her overall experience. Her positive feedback and encouragement motivated me to step outside my comfort zone and make an appointment for my own session.

Despite feeling nervous as I contemplated the day of the shoot, the moment I walked into the studio, I was surprised to feel an immediate sense of comfort and readiness. Having my best friend by my side as a huge supporter and backbone made the experience even more enjoyable. The shoot passed by quickly, and I found myself not wanting it to end.

Leaving the studio, I experienced a newfound confidence and felt more beautiful than ever before. The insecurities that had plagued me seemed to vanish during the photo session. What I thought I needed to cover up or hide before the shoot was no longer a concern.

Reflecting on the images, any initial concerns about the cost quickly dissipated. The pictures were not just beautiful; they were a reflection of my newfound sense of self-worth. The experience affirmed that I am priceless, and it showed in every frame.

If you or someone you know has hesitated to explore boudoir photography due to concerns about weight, low self-esteem, or any other reasons, I urge you to take the leap. These pictures have the transformative power to change your life and help you see yourself in ways you never imagined. Trust me; you won't regret it.” - Miss K

My Empowering Experience with Sheer

Booking a SheerExperience had been on my mind for a few years but it always seemed like for one reason or another, it wasn't the right time and I would abandon the idea. One day I was talking with a friend who shared that she had photos taken as a gift to her husband-to-be before their wedding. She shared those photos and I was captivated. To say they were beautiful was an understatement and I knew that was my sign to book with Sheer.  Jen and Brian's portfolio perfectly captured what I had imagined for my own future photoshoot. I had been searching for a photographer and a style that seemed to align with my style and knew immediately that this was it.

The day of the shoot finally arrived and while I was mostly excited, I did have some small moments of nerves. Walking into the studio immediately put my mind at ease. In talking with Jen and Brian about my vision for the day, the connection was almost instant and I knew I was working with two exceptionally talented people. My expectations were that I would get a handful of good photos but what actually happened is dozens of beautiful photos and a day that ended up being more fulfilling than I ever anticipated. When I was shown the first few photos taken, I was in shock and awe with how amazing I looked and felt. I really didn't know that was possible. I felt empowered, sexy and confident. Jen and Brian are such experts and absolutely brought out the best in me. The whole photo shoot felt like a celebration of embracing my sexuality, my body and my confidence. As Jen said, "you will get to see yourself the way others do" and that felt like the mantra of the day. 

I did this photo shoot to memorialize this time in my life, so that I will always remember how strong and confident I felt at 42. After waiting years to finally do this, I am now eagerly awaiting a time when I can do it again. I will treasure these photos for years to come and I am so grateful to Jen and Brian for guiding me in this incredible experience. I would encourage anyone who is interested to book a shoot. It can be scary to finally commit but I promise it will be a beautiful, soul filling experience and one that you won't regret.

Embrace Your Sexuality and Live a Fulfilling Life

As women, we often find ourselves struggling with our sexuality. Whether it’s due to societal pressures, religious beliefs, or personal experience, many of us have been taught to suppress our desires and hide our true selves. But what if we could liberate ourselves from this oppressive mindset and embrace our sexuality as a vital part of who we are? In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits of embracing your sexuality and offer some tips on how to do so in a way that feels authentic and empowering.

The Benefits of Embracing Your Sexuality

Embracing your sexuality doesn’t just feel good – it can also have numerous health and wellness benefits. For example, being sexually active can lower stress, boost mood, and improve sleep quality. It can also help you feel more connected to your partner and enhance your overall sense of wellbeing. When you allow yourself to enjoy your sexuality, you’re also giving yourself permission to prioritize your own pleasure and needs.

How to Embrace Your Sexuality

If you’re ready to embrace your sexuality, the first step is to give yourself permission to do so. This may involve challenging some of the beliefs or messages you’ve received about sex – such as the idea that it’s dirty or shameful – and replacing them with more positive and empowering ones. You may also need to carve out time and space in your life to explore your desires and preferences, whether alone or with a partner.

Another helpful tool for embracing your sexuality is mindfulness. This involves tuning into your physical sensations and emotional responses, as well as being fully present in the moment. When you approach sex and intimacy mindfully, you’re able to fully immerse yourself in the experience and enjoy all the sensory pleasures that come with it.

It’s also important to communicate openly and honestly with your partner (if you have one) about your desires and boundaries. This may involve breaking down some of the barriers that prevent you from being fully authentic and vulnerable with each other. Trust is a crucial component of healthy sexual relationships, and it’s often built through honest communication and mutual respect.

Overcoming Roadblocks to Sexual Empowerment

If you’ve experienced trauma or abuse related to your sexuality, it’s understandable that you may feel hesitant or anxious about exploring that part of yourself. In many cases, it can be helpful to work with a therapist or other professional who specializes in sexual trauma or abuse. They can help you process your feelings, develop coping strategies, and learn how to set healthy boundaries.

For some women, it’s also important to address any cultural or religious beliefs that may be contributing to feelings of guilt or shame around sex. This could involve working with a spiritual leader or counselor who can help you navigate these complex issues in a way that aligns with your values and beliefs.

Embracing Sexuality in Later Life

Finally, it’s worth noting that our sexuality doesn’t end when we reach a certain age. In fact, many women report experiencing increased sexual desire and pleasure in later life. Embracing your sexuality can be just as empowering and fulfilling in your 50s, 60s, and beyond as it is in your 20s or 30s. By creating a safe and supportive space for exploring your desires, you can continue to enjoy all the benefits that come with a healthy and active sex life.

Embracing your sexuality is about so much more than just having fun in the bedroom. It’s about accepting and celebrating all of who you are, and acknowledging that your desires and needs are valid and important. By giving yourself permission to explore your sexuality in a way that feels authentic and empowering, you can experience greater pleasure, intimacy, and wellbeing in all areas of your life. So, let’s all work together to shake off the shame and embrace our sexuality with open hearts and minds.

Rising Above Self-Doubt

Unleashing Your True Potential

👄 We've all experienced the weight of self-doubt and insecurities holding us back. These negative thoughts can hinder our ability to reach our full potential. But fear not, I firmly believe that we have the power to overcome them with the right mindset and tools. 🍑

The first step is to recognize these thoughts for what they truly are - just rubbish, not facts that define us. It's crucial to separate them from our reality and understanding that they don't have any power over us.

Next, it's time to uncover the source of our self-doubt and insecurities. Although it may be challenging, digging into our past and finding the root cause empowers us with the knowledge we need to overcome them. After all, how can we fix a problem if we don't know why it's happening?

Let's shift our focus from the negative and start embracing the positive. This is where we rebuild our confidence by acknowledging our strengths and accomplishments. Engage in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. Celebrate the small victories, for they are the building blocks of confidence and the pathway to becoming the best version of yourself.

Now, I want to introduce you to a transformative experience - a boudoir shoot. This is no ordinary photo session. It's an opportunity to challenge yourself and face your fears head-on. By stepping out of your comfort zone, you prove to yourself that you are capable of conquering anything. It may be scary, but that fear signifies how much it truly matters to you. Prepare to give yourself the ultimate victory and emerge stronger than ever.

Join me on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment as we overcome self-doubt and unlock our true potential. Together, we will create a future filled with confidence, happiness, and success.

Capturing Our Love and Confidence

Have you ever seen a photo of a friend or a loved one that left you mesmerized? That's exactly what happened to me when I saw my friend's stunning photos from her couples session with Sheer. Initially hesitant about booking my own couples boudoir session, I decided to take the leap of faith and book an appointment with Sheer Photography. Despite my nerves, the entire experience was incredible. Brian & Jen made me and my partner feel confident and comfortable throughout the session, resulting in photos that exceeded all our expectations.

I'll be honest, I was apprehensive before our session with Sheer. I'm not typically comfortable in front of the camera, and I wasn't sure how my partner and I would look together. However, as soon as we arrived at the studio, Brian & Jen instantly put us at ease. They made us feel comfortable and relaxed, which translated into our photos. They gave us gentle guidance in terms of posing and facial expressions, but also allowed us to be ourselves, which I believe is so important in capturing the true essence of a couple, especially in this style of photography. As a result, Sheer was able to capture the candid and natural moments between my partner and me, which we will treasure forever.

The entire session was full of laughter and joy. Brian & Jen have such wonderful personalities that is both calming and uplifting, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Despite any self-doubt I may have had, I felt beautiful and confident, which is reflected in the photos. Not only did Sheer capture our connection as a couple, but they also captured our individual personalities, which was so important to me.

During the session, Sheer showed us some of the photos they were taking, which only further boosted our confidence. I was surprised and thrilled to see how beautiful the photos looked, and it made me even more excited to see the final product.

After the session, Sheer edited and delivered the photos within an hour. When my partner and I reviewed the photos, we were blown away by how beautiful they were. I had never felt so confident or beautiful in photographs before. I loved every single shot and couldn't wait to share them with our friends and family.

Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Sheer for anyone looking to have their beauty and love captured in photographs. Their warmth and welcoming personalities, coupled with their exceptional talent, make them the perfect photographer for anyone who may be feeling nervous or self-conscious about being in front of the camera. They create a safe and comfortable space for couples to be themselves and capture their love and connection. After our experience with Sheer, I know that we will treasure these photos for years to come. So, if you're still on the fence about booking a boudoir session, I encourage you to take the leap of faith and book with Sheer, you won't regret it!

You are Beautiful, Regardless of Your Size

Are you someone who is constantly putting off embracing your beauty until you reach your ideal weight? If yes, then it's time to break free from this mindset. In today's society, we are all conditioned to believe that our worth is solely determined by the number on a scale. And because of this, many women spend a majority of their lives longing for a physique that they may never attain. But here's the truth – you are beautiful and perfect just the way you are, in this very moment. In this blog, we will explore the importance of embracing your beauty, regardless of your size.

Don't Wait to Embrace Your Beauty

If you're someone who feels like you can't truly embrace your beauty until you reach your ideal weight, then you're not alone. This is a common sentiment among many women. But the truth is, you don't have to wait until you reach a certain size or weight to feel beautiful. Embrace who you are, right now, in this very moment. Celebrate your body and everything that it does for you. Don't put off your happiness until some future date or time. Life is too short to waste time waiting for perfection.

Your Worth is Not Defined by a Number on a Scale

It's important to realize that your worth is not defined by a number on a scale or the size of your pants. You are so much more than that. You have unique talents, skills, and qualities that make you who you are. Focus on those things instead of solely on your physical appearance. When you start to embrace your worth outside of your weight, you will start to feel more confident and beautiful.

Recognize the Beauty in Diversity

Women come in all shapes and sizes, and it's our diversity that makes us all exceptional. Embrace your uniqueness and celebrate it. Comparison is the thief of joy, so don't compare yourself to others. Instead, recognize the beauty in diversity and how it adds richness to the world.

Celebrate Your Journey

Your journey is unique to you, so celebrate it. Maybe you do end up losing those extra pounds, but looking back, you'll see that you were just as stunning before. Perhaps even more so because of the confidence you've gained from embracing your beauty. Always remember that it's okay to capture where you are in life right now. Embrace the journey and know that every step you take is bringing you closer to your goals.

Love Yourself, Regardless of Your Size

Lastly, it's important to love yourself, regardless of your size. Your perception of your flaws may be distorted, and you may not realize just how stunning you truly are. But trust us, you are amazing just as you are. If you want to lose weight, go for it. But if you don't, that's perfectly fine too. Embrace your beauty, embrace your body, and embrace your life.

No matter where you are right now, Jen and Brian will make you look and feel more beautiful than you could have imagined. At Sheer Photography our goal is to boost your confidence and help you see yourself in the incredible light that others see you in.

And the best way to embrace that is by recognizing the better version of yourself that everyone else sees. So book the boudoir session now! Don’t wait until you’re “happy” with yourself, the happiness will come when you embrace where you are now.

She's back for more!!!

The sun was bright, and the warmth of it on my skin felt strangely comforting. I had been so nervous leading up to this moment but now that it was here, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement coursing through my veins. After all, today marked my second boudoir photo session with Jen and Brian – the acclaimed photographers who specialize in making women feel beautiful no matter what life threw their way.

I remembered how nervous I'd been when we first met for my first SheerExperience celebrating my 50th birthday; unsure whether or not I could look good enough to capture such an important milestone. But then something magical happened - as soon as they put away the cameras and started chatting, it wasn't about posing anymore - it was about connecting with another human being who understood how difficult life can be sometimes.

Now here I was again - only this time things were different. This time around there were no balloons or cake to celebrate; just a woman at a crossroads trying to figure out where to go next after going through a divorce. Allowing myself to be vulnerable in front of strangers did not come naturally for me but over time Jen and Brian made everything so easy and comfortable that before long, there were no more walls between us – just gentle encouragement from two people passionate about helping others express themselves through photography.

As the hours passed by during that day's shoot, something changed within me: suddenly instead of seeing myself as someone's wife or mother or daughter (or any other label society tried so hard to slap onto us) all those roles melted away into nothingness until only one remained: A Woman - strong yet fragile; brave yet scared; determined yet uncertain – like each person around us every single day attempting their own version of dealing with life’s hurdles while still managing to make room for joy along the way... And thanks to Jen & Brian capturing these moments forever in pictures gave me a newfound confidence that whatever came next would be okay because regardless if anyone else noticed or not- I know deep down inside exactly who I really am…

We all deserve to feel sexy!

Experience the excitement and empowerment of a boudoir session at Sheer, whether it's your first, second, third or more…this was my third. Don't let those nerves or self-doubt hold you back from feeling sexy again. At 54, I made the choice to embrace myself just as I am, curves and all. And let me tell you, Jen and Brian know how to make those "extra" curves look absolutely delicious! So take the leap, because you are beautiful and truly desired.

The best part of the session? Not only did I feel pampered and stunning, but I also got to have heart-to-heart conversations with a dear friend. We all deserve more pampering in our lives, and Jen knows exactly how to make you look and feel fabulous. She effortlessly helps you choose the perfect outfits and expertly hides any insecurities you may have. As Brian works his magic behind the camera, Jen keeps the energy high with laughter and encourages you to try new, empowering poses. Trust me, another session is definitely in my future.

To Tan or Not to Tan: The Ultimate Guide for your Boudoir Session

Boudoir sessions are an empowering experience for every man, woman or couple. They allow you to feel comfortable and confident in your own skin. However, when preparing for such a session, you may face the dilemma of whether to tan or not to tan. While some prefer to show off their natural skin tone, some opt to accentuate their curves and lines with a bronzed glow. In this blog, we’ll provide you with the ultimate guide to help you decide whether to tan or not to tan for your Sheer Experience.

To Tan: A bronzed glow adds definition to your curves and exaggerates your best features. However, it's important to avoid fake tan or spray tan if you're allergic or prone to skin irritation. Instead, choose a reputable tanning salon that uses organic products or opt for a self-tanning lotion. A gradual tan is always a better option than an instant tan, as it looks more natural.

Not to Tan: Embracing your natural skin tone can also produce stunning results in your boudoir photos. Soft, natural light complements every skin tone and highlights the beautiful details in your skin. It's all about confidence and being comfortable in your own skin. So, if you are not a regular tanner, don't worry about it.

Enhancing Your Natural Skin Tone: If you want to enhance your skin tone, there are some things you can do before your boudoir shoot. Hydrate your skin by applying a moisturizer after your shower, exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells and use a luminizer to add a subtle glow to your skin.

Your Outfit Choice: When deciding to tan or not to tan, consider your outfit choices. If you plan to wear white, a tan will show up more than if you opt for darker colors. If you're unsure, try on different outfits and see which one looks best on your skin tone.

Don't Worry Too Much: Ultimately, your confidence, personality and the mood of the photoshoot will play a more significant role than just the color of your skin. The goal is to feel comfortable and beautiful in the body you have. If you’re happy, that joy will translate in the photos.

Now that you have read our ultimate guide on whether to tan or not for your boudoir session, we hope you feel more prepared and confident for your upcoming shoot. Remember, whether you choose to tan or not, it's all about celebrating your natural beauty and feeling confident in your own skin. The most important thing is to have fun, relax, and enjoy the experience.
