How bare do I go?

Hey there!!! Thanks so much for stopping by. If you’re new here, welcome!!! We are a boudoir studio located in Northeast Ohio. A boudoir session can be for anyone, man or woman (over the age of 18). We believe that everyone should experience a boudoir session at least once in their life. It is such an empowering experience. The self-confidence you can gain from it will last a lifetime. The feeling you walk away with should be something you can look back on and remember forever.


Now, I know if you are reading this, it’s probably not the first time you’ve heard about boudoir photography. Maybe it’s something you’ve been considering for quite some time. Maybe it’s something you’ve seen or heard from a friend. Maybe you’ve been following us on social media and contemplating it for yourself. But you wonder…”Can I do it too? Should I do it? Why would I do it? How nude do I need to get? Will someone judge me? Will I look ridiculous?” I’m sure these are just a FEW of the questions that run through your mind when you even think about doing this for yourself. Well, let me ease your mind a little and start by answering one of these questions for you now…I hope to answer more over the next few months. Should you decide to book a session, we send you a ton of information about what to expect, what to wear, a questionnaire to get an idea of what you envision and so much more.


So to start, let’s answer the question, How much skin do you need to show? It is perfectly normal for your mind to think “all the way”. But I assure you, you can show as little or as much skin as you are comfortable with. Most of our clients do end up fully naked by the end of their shoot with us, but only because they are so much more comfortable then they thought they would be. Before we even get started, I will ask you how much skin you would like to show in your photos. At this point, we have just met and most of our clients are a little hesitant and unsure. I explain that there are different levels of nudity. We typically start your session with an outfit that covers the most. While some clients don’t mind to bare all in their photos, others are comfortable going naked but not showing all the goods and using sheets or hand placement to not let any of their private parts be seen. Other clients prefer to keep covered the entire time. Whatever you decide is perfectly fine. We will only do what YOU are comfortable with. There is never any pressure to bare all or be pushed too far out of your comfort zone. No matter what your decision is, know that everything we do will be done respectfully and tasteful. We’ve included a few examples from past clients who have given full permission to share their images below. If you would like more information on booking your own #SheerExperience, please fill out the form below and we will send you more info.

IS THAT ME?!?!

It’s still so hard to believe that it is me in these photos.

When I started this adventure I researched every place that offered boudoir photography and even thought about if I could do it myself, but when it came right back to the facts Sheer Photography had the best price for a professional and SAFE experience. 

Never was I scared, heck, I could see myself stripping it all off again.  It was so good for me. I use to weigh a lot; like 300 lbs., then I lost over half of that and ended up divorced after 15 years. All my kids are grown up and I’ve felt ugly, insecure, zero confidence and hated my body. 

Doing this boudoir session, was the perfect chance for someone to show me what I had to offer myself. The Sheer Experience did so much for me. I left there thinking I could make it again and even started looking for a better job.

Brian & Jen made me realize I have a worth and I can’t let anyone, a man, friends, or even family destroy that. I hope all women look at my pictures and realize that I'm definitely not a size 4 and that I even was heavier then I wanted when I came in for pictures but I am beautiful!! Love yourself. Every morning and every night I go to bed remembering this when I look at my wall art.
