The Power of a Boudoir Photoshoot: Embracing Your Body and Boosting Your Confidence

For many women, the idea of baring it all in front of a camera can be terrifying. But what if I told you that a boudoir session could be one of the most empowering experiences of your life? As someone who has recently done a boudoir shoot for both myself and my fiancé, I can say with confidence that this type of photography can shatter insecurities, boost confidence, and make you feel more beautiful than ever before. This blog post is for all the women out there who may be hesitant about the idea of a boudoir photoshoot, but are also curious about the incredible impact it can have on your self-image.

Before I get into the nitty-gritty of what all your own #SheerExperience is and the benefits it can bring, let's debunk one of the biggest myths about boudoir photography: you don't have to look a certain way to do one. That's right, you heard me. No matter what your size, shape, or insecurities may be, you can absolutely rock a boudoir shoot. In fact, part of the magic of these photos is that they capture the beauty in every body type. You don't need to look like a Victoria's Secret model or have a perfect hourglass figure to have stunning, confidence-boosting boudoir photos (although if that is your natural body type, then go for it). The point is to embrace your body as it is, flaws and all, and showcase your unique beauty in a way that makes you feel confident and powerful.

Now, let's talk about some of the ways that a session like this can boost your confidence. For starters, the act of being vulnerable in front of a camera can be incredibly empowering. It takes a lot of courage to strip down and pose in front of photographers, but there is something cathartic about it. You are taking control of your body and choosing to showcase it in a way that makes you feel beautiful. It's a way of saying, "This is me, and I am proud of who I am." That kind of confidence permeates into all aspects of your life, from work to relationships and beyond.

Another benefit of a boudoir session is that it allows you to see yourself in a new light. We all have insecurities about our bodies, but seeing yourself through the lens of a professional photographer can shift your perspective. Instead of focusing on every little flaw, you are able to see the beauty in your body as a whole. It's a reminder that you are worthy of love, attention, and admiration just as you are. And when you have that album in your hands, you can look at them whenever you need a reminder of your own strength and beauty.

A boudoir shoot is so much more than just taking pictures in your underwear. It's an act of self-love and empowerment, a reminder of your own beauty, and a way to deepen intimacy in your relationships. If you have been hesitant to try a boudoir shoot because of insecurities or fear, I encourage you to take the leap. Trust me, you won't regret it. Embrace your body as it is, and let Brian & Jen capture your unique beauty in a way that makes you feel confident, powerful, and oh so beautiful.

Why I Finally Did a Boudoir Session (& You Should Too!)

Hey #SheerBeauties! I took a big leap and traveled from New York to Youngstown, Ohio for my first boudoir shoot. It took a whole year of planning, intense workouts, and lots of prayer to make this happen…but it was all worth it! I'm excited to share the behind-the-scenes story & some of my favorite images with all of you.

There are many different reasons a person may want to do a boudoir session. For some it may serve as a wedding or anniversary gift, for others they may want to overcome body image issues or get a confidence boost. For me personally I had been following a dynamic couple; Brian and Jen, for many years on Instagram. Initially I had wanted to work with them as soon as I saw their feed and realized how incredibly talented they are. Despite this I was still a little apprehensive and it did take time for me to get more comfortable with the idea of being so vulnerable with my body in front of strangers. 🍑 I pretty much sat on the sidelines & pondered about how things would go if I ever booked my own shoot. Eventually one day I just decided to go for it & I’m so thankful I did! Shopping for lingerie & scouting out poses was so much fun. I really feel like my photos captured my personality and I was truly captivated & in awe of how I was captured on film. 

One of my favorite parts of my shoot was recreating the famous scene from the Wolf of Wall Street, “Morning Ritual”. Featured in these photo with me is an amazing local model, Tyjaan King.

When I saw my boudoir photos it was such a surreal feeling. I had never quite seen myself that way before & it felt almost as if I was seeing myself for the first time. The experience of seeing my photos allowed me to see how beautiful I truly am. Going through my divorce at a young age had left me feeling insecure, and this boudoir shoot definitely helped me validate myself and feel more confident in my own skin. It was worth every penny I spent! I can't wait to do it all again!

So, I challenge you to do a boudoir shoot at least once in your life. It doesn't matter if you're male or female, big or small, young or old. Boudoir photography is for everyone. It's time to embrace your inner beauty and celebrate yourself!

XOXO, Victoria

But Jen and Brian were so supportive and funny that I felt amazing during my session and even more confident after I saw all of my gorgeous photos.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE WHO WAS WORRIED ABOUT NOT LIKING ANY OF THEIR IMAGES AFTER THEIR SESSION? I didn't think there would be any pictures that I liked and I loved 99% of them. I had a hard time picking my favorites for the album.

An Experience Worth Remembering

I stumbled upon Sheer Photography in a photography group on Facebook. In a previous life, pre-child, I had my own photography business. I was wow'ed by their work and being a former pro, it takes a lot to win me over!

I followed their facebook page for awhile before even thinking about booking. 2021 was a rough year for me personally and I wanted to do something for myself. I needed the self confidence boost and I knew that a session with Sheer would do just that for me.

I was so nervous the day of my session. I even took a valium before I got there! I was beyond nervous, completely terrified! But as soon as I sat down in the chair and talked with Jen and Brian while I had my hair and makeup done, I was completely at ease. Of course, I was still a little hesitant when I changed into my first outfit. But once we got started I felt absolutely amazing! I was shocked when I looked at the back of the camera. Was that really me??? OMG I looked super hot!!

When it was time for the in person reveal I loved the photographs that Brian took. It was so hard to pick favorites. Going into it I planned on getting just a few images in the smallest album. Well, that plan went out the window - I ended up getting a collection with a larger album, the phone app and digital files as well as the photo block. I was so thrilled with the images I couldn't help myself!

If you're unsure if you want to do a boudoir photo shoot, just do it! It was a great experience from start to finish & one of the best investments I could have made. I can't say enough about how fun and professional it was working with the Sheer Team! I loved my hair and makeup, they had a huge selection of wardrobe options in the closet and of course the photos are fantastic. You'll never look exactly how you think you want to look, so don't put it off. I saw a beautiful side of myself that had gotten lost in being a mom. You will not regret it at all! Don't wait any longer - fill out the form below and schedule your own boudoir session! Go ahead, take a chance on yourself - you deserve it!

XOXO, Miss D

My first #SheerExperience

Alright honeys, listen up! This was my first photo shoot EVER! Can you tell? No. The reason behind that is because Jen and Brian made sure I was comfortable while we did the shoot & answered all my questions before I even stepped foot into their boudoir studio in Youngstown, Ohio. Once I warmed up, my #SheerBeauty was showcased!

If you're planning on a boudoir session, I'm here to give you some tips on how to make the experience as smooth and effortless as possible. You want to feel confident and sexy, and I'm going to help you get there girlfriend!!

First things first, communication is key. Talk to Jen & Brian beforehand about what kind of look you're going for, whether it's soft and romantic or sultry and edgy, maybe even a mix of both. This will give them a better idea of how to style, pose you & what areas of the studio to use. It's also important to discuss any insecurities or areas you want to highlight so that they can work with you to create the perfect shots. They email you a questionnaire to help with a lot of these things & ask things you might not even consider.

Another important factor is what to wear. You want to feel comfortable and confident in your outfits, so choose pieces that make you feel sexy, whether it's a lacy bralette or a satin robe. Don't forget to bring accessories like jewelry or heels to add some extra flair. And ladies, if all else fails, they have a whole lingerie closet, which I took full advantage of for every single one of my outfits! It was so helpful & less stressful, I came in with nothing to wear and Jen picked out everything based off what parts of my body I wanted to showcase & my self-perceived flaws that I didn’t want showing as much.

Next up, pamper yourself! Get your hair and makeup done beforehand, or do it yourself if you're a pro. It is so nice that they offer this in studio for all of us, and even better that Jen is the one doing your hair & makeup. It makes it a little less awkward to undress after you’ve been chatting with her for over an hour & feel like you two would be best friends outside of this! Don't forget to take care of your skin too - exfoliate and moisturize to ensure a smooth and glowing complexion.

Lastly, relax and have fun! Boudoir sessions should be a celebration of your beauty and sensuality, so don't be afraid to let loose and express yourself. Let Brian & Jen guide you through poses and movements, but also feel free to bring your own ideas to the table. They are amazing at working in any inspiration or props you have.

So there you have it, girlfriend - follow these tips and you'll be ready for your boudoir close-up in no time. Now scroll on down past my sexy photos and send them a message! Xoxo, Miss Y

Couples that boudoir together...have stronger bonds together!

“A few years ago I had done a boudoir photo shoot with Jen and Brian and it had really boosted my confidence so much that I booked another shoot!

After booking the shoot I told my husband he could use a little self esteem boost and we should do a couples session. We were both very nervous and he was completely out of his comfort zone more than myself, however as soon as we started the photos that all changed!

We have been married for almost 11 years and it was amazing the connection that sparked between us. Jen and Brian made the whole thing very relaxing and fun. It was as if my husband and I were the only ones in the room! We loved every minute of it, not only did we walk out with a self esteem boost we also walked out with a connection we haven’t felt in a while.

If you are thinking about an individual session or even a couples sessions I highly recommend Jen and Brian! Don’t let anything hold you back you deserve to see how beautiful you truly are!” Jess & Tim

“But what if I’m not enough…”

Wow! I can feel those words in my soul. Constantly questioning everything I do, “but what if I’m not enough…”. I know a lot of our clients feel this way because so many have said, “I’m not as pretty/young/fit/confident as the women you share on the page. What makes me think I’m good enough to do this?” It breaks my heart every time I hear something like this, but I also completely get it because there are so many times I feel the same way. Do you know the only way to feel like you are good enough??? Just do it!! You have to do the thing you are questioning yourself with so that you can see YOU ARE ENOUGH!! Check out some of our favorite images from Miss M’s #SheerExperience and her thoughts on not being enough.

“On the day of my session, I walked up the stairs of the studio anxious as hell, second guessing myself as to why I even thought I would put myself thru the humiliation that I was sure to endure with my love handles & pregnancy scars ... I have always been super self-critical of my appearance & I even told Jen at the very beginning, “I am probably going to hate every picture of myself but I’m going to do this anyways!” I have been avidly following their insta page, obsessing over how beautiful & sexy all the women look in their photos & it enticed me that each & every woman would express how empowering their experience was at Sheer & how it helped them regain the confidence they once had for themselves. I am a single mom so the only thing getting in the way of me booking a session was just being able to justify that much of an expense on myself because us moms tend to think that we do not deserve to invest in ourselves, at least not to that degree.

2021 was the worst year of my life, literally. During the past year, I was blindsided with finding out that my boyfriend of 7 years had a year long affair with his ex which ultimately made me feel like I wasn’t enough, put my insecurity in my appearance into overdrive & caused me to slip into a deep depression. I lost all self confidence in myself & became more self critical than ever before. I hated feeling like I wasn’t good enough so I decided if ever there were a right time to book a session, it was NOW because I really NEEDED the extra confidence boost after a year of straight hell. I knew myself & I knew if I didn’t put a good chunk of change as a down payment that I would ultimately talk myself out of going, so I made it a point to make pre-payments to the Boudie Bank each payday so on the day of my session, I would have paid enough that I would not allow myself to not go through with it! And let me just say that was KEY into making me step foot through those doors the morning of ... I sat in my car for probably 20 minutes worried that I had no makeup on & felt ugly & apprehensive as to whether my photos were going to measure up to my expectations or inadvertently make me feel worse about myself ... I fully expected to hate every single picture that was about to be taken of me!

From the second I walked up the stairs of their studio, Brian & Jen were so welcoming & encouraging! They could clearly tell how nervous I was. They helped me select which of the 20+ outfits I had brought with me, unsure of which would work best for the shoot as they reassured me that this was going to be an experience that I would never forget. To say I was anxiously apprehensive but I came there with a goal in mind & damnit, I was going to follow through with at least giving it an honest try! After getting my first outfit on, I stared at myself in the mirror filled with self doubt, walked out of the dressing room & the first thing I hear is Jen say “Girl you are fire!” After the first couple shots, Jen showed me the back of the camera & I was absolutely blown away. “Is that really me?” I thought to myself ... omg I look good, NO I look amazing ... now I started to get excited which allowed my anxiety to subside which resulted in me feeling more at ease & getting more & more comfortable with each & every pose! Jen is so encouraging & they truly made me feel like I was crazy to think that I was anything less than badass, beautiful & sexy! For the first time in a very long time, they helped me feel so incredibly comfortable & sexy in my own skin again & at that moment, I was profoundly grateful that I pushed myself through my anxiety & dread & went through with this experience that I had wanted to do for so long.

At my reveal, I was still a little nervous that maybe I wouldn’t like that many still but OH. MY. GOD. I loved soooo many of the photos, I began to cry as I stood up to give Jen the biggest hug. They helped me see myself in a whole new light ... as I looked at the dozens of photos of myself displayed on the big screen, I couldn’t believe the woman I was seeing was MEEE ... I was speechless! I am beautiful. I am sexy. I am a bombshell. I loved soooo many of the shots that it was honestly hard AF to choose between them! I walked into my session with the intent of gaining some self confidence & I walked away with that & soooo much more! This was the most empowering experience of my adult female life & it wouldn’t have been possible without Brian & Jen at Sheer! If you have been skeptical or hesitant to book your session, DON’T BE & just DO IT ... I promise you will not regret it! They are phenomenal & as a single mom whom rarely  justifies spending much money on herself, this experience was worth every single penny & I can’t wait to book my next session with them!!!!”

XOXO, Miss M

I loved it so much...

I had TWO sessions with Sheer Photography in 2021!! Everyone always asks me: “were you nervous?” And I can truthfully respond every time that I wasn’t.

Jen, Brian, and Brittany make every part of the shoot from makeup, to posing, to even choosing my outfits (because I always bring extras just incase!) all super smooth and natural. They are professional but still down to Earth and easily relatable. I appreciate their amazing lighting skills they use in the studio to bring out so much natural beauty when we’re all so used to a world of Snapchat filters. Thank you for always providing an amazing experience and making me feel all around beautiful. Can’t wait to book session number three!

XOXO, Miss A

I did it for me! You can do it for you

“A friend of mine had invited me to the Sheer VIP group a few years ago. I had no idea what boudoir photography was, and when I found out, my self talk was awful! I figured I'd be a wallflower in the group and join in on building others up, because I was good at that.

When I took the leap to book my first shoot, I was on vacation with my daughter. I looked at the Sheer website and I was reading the blog. I couldn't tell you whose blog it was, but it hit me upside the head. I booked my first shoot right then and there. BEST. DECISION. EVER! I had so much fun the first time, that I couldn't wait to do it again.

For both, I did the shoot for me. Not for a present for anyone else, just a present for me. I still can't believe those pictures are of me. I don't know what sort of voodoo magic happens from the time the picture is taken to when it shows up on the viewfinder or in Jen's computer, but that woman I see, is what I want to believe about myself. I want to be able to look in the mirror and say, "Yes, this is me!" That was how I felt after my first time. I have one of the metals on my dresser so it's the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see before bed. That woman is confident, beautiful, sensual, sexy, and present. That woman is me!! That metal and those pictures help to remind me of where I want to be mentally.

Then this past Mother's Day happened. Life was doing its thing and I wanted to have something to look forward to. So, I went ahead and booked a second shoot. It was so much fun! There's even a few pictures I can tell that I had to remember to be serious because I was laughing so hard. Who does that, half or fully naked?!?! The app alone is such a good reminder of who I am and who I want to be and so handy! I've never liked pictures of myself much at all, and I haven't had an issue with that at Sheer. I do like them. Some I love, but I have yet to have one with Sheer that I just looked at and said eww or no or anything negative.

Between the VIP group, the sessions, and the photos afterwards, in whatever medium you get them in, the whole experience is worth it. Why? Because you are worth it, every second, every penny.”

XoXo - Casey

I was a complete wreck...

I was a complete wreck starting from the thoughts of being almost naked in front of people I did not know to almost being in tears by being late over a flat tire the morning of my shoot. I almost felt like this was a bad omen BUT when I arrived, Jen said ok, you look like you need a hug & said don’t cry, it’s ok, calm down. From there the nerves started to melt away. I was at complete ease & we made it happen. I haven't felt good about myself in so long but when I saw the photos, I couldn't believe that was ME!!!!! I thank you for such an amazing experience!! Definitely gonna do it again!!

XoXo, Miss K

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.
