Turning 50 & Feeling Fabulous!!

I see all these women, beautiful women on Sheer's facebook page and decide to check our Sheer Photography's website.  I'm instantly blown away.  Women of all different shapes, sizes & ages.  But I'm going to be 50!!  50 years old, like half a century...  I'm too old, I thought and just kept watching the group.  I can't afford it, and just kept watching, until one day I felt horrible.  I felt like nothing in my life was going right at that moment and if I didn't just take the plunge, I probably never would, and so I did.  The week before my shoot, my hair appointment was messed up, I didn't have time to get everything done that I wanted & of course I had to break out in stress hives and be put on steroids. I was so excited for weeks until it came closer & the day arrived.  I honestly found myself trying to find more excuses not to go inside.  What was I thinking???  I'm not like these younger girls, I'm a grandmother, I'm too old & turning 50 this year.  Why on earth did I think this was a good idea???

Answer:  Because it was!!  I went in a nervous wreck and even text Jennifer from the parking lot, stalling.  How did I want my hair?  You're the expert, you do what you do, I said.  Once Bianca did my make-up and hair, I felt better but I still had no idea what to wear & I had brought a ton of stuff.  Okay, Jen, you're the expert & I'm trusting you guys so you tell me what outfits to wear for which room & she picked everything out while I was in make-up & hair.  I just put all my trust in them, which was the smartest thing I had done that day.  As soon as we started, I could see how Brian held a very professional demeanor and Jennifer was more relaxed and outgoing which made me more relaxed.  

And the fun began!!  I was so busy trying to watch Jennifer as she demonstrated the poses, that I completely relaxed about the pictures.  Not saying that it easy or unimportant, but I laughed, I twisted, I popped hips, pointed toes & just had so much fun.  The time actually went by very fast because, it was so much fun.  Both Brian and Jen periodically showed me the screen on the camera so that I could feel more at ease and they looked really nice!! But in the back of my mind, I'm still thinking, I hope they look half that good once they are full size, it's not like I'm young anymore.  But I still felt pretty good about myself at this point.  I had a little more confidence when I walked out then when I walked in and I definitely had a good time!

Then it all changed!  I got an email with my sneak peaks!!!  OMG, that's me!!! I thought I was going to cry at first, but I was so happy & showed all my friends.  I can honestly say I have never felt that good about myself or at least since I can't remember!!!  I felt like a million dollars!!  A few more days past and I went for my reveal and I honestly can say I never dreamed that they would turn out so great!!   I messaged Jen and told her "I've got this new found confidence thanks to you and Brian.  I can never thank you enough!!"

From make-up to hair to poses, to lighting to helpful reminders to point your toes, and breath, lol, which they had to tell me many times, these guys are the most professional, caring, courteous photographers you will ever meet. Brian is so talented in his work that he knows just the perfect light and angles every time to make you look your best.  Jennifer puts you completely at ease once you start, that sometimes you forget Brian is photographing.  If you even have the slightest notion that you are too old, not pretty enough, to heavy, whatever it might be, then you NEED to do this for YOU!!  Thanks to Sheer Photography, Sheer Beauty VIP group, Brian & Jennifer, 2018 is my Turning 50 & Feeling Fabulous year!!        Love always - Miss C

Turning 30...

The BIG 3-0!!! It is a scary number for us ladies. It's a turning point in our lives where we aren't as young (and fun) as we used to be, we feel like we need to be more responsible...it's almost as if the day we turn 30 is the day our inner child needs to be put to rest. I've heard from countless women (myself and my mom included) that turning 30 was the hardest birthday!! But now that I'm 3 years into my 30's, it has been the most invigorating and freeing time of my life. While we do have so many responsibilities to take care of, I also feel like it's an amazing age to find yourself. To learn who you are and be unapologetic about what life has in store for you! It's a time to step out of your comfort zone and be the badass you were meant to be.

"As you can imagine, pulling up to the Sheer studio I had a certain level of hesitation about the thought of being so exposed in front of a camera. Turning 30  this year hit me like a bag of bricks. That meshed with being a mom of two kids under 5, had me feeling undesirable and past the point in my life where I'd be considered sexy, but Jen and Brian instantly put me at ease when I walked into the studio the day of my shoot. They carefully went over wardrobe options and what was ideal for the desired look (I brought things but they have an awesome closet of options). They helped me work through some of my insecurities and focus on the parts my body I was confident in, while still setting me up to feel good about the areas that I was hesitant to bare. 

Within 5 minutes of starting the shoot, Brian and Jen had created an environment where I felt completely comfortable and free to be myself, and relax. I mean "hot" (something Jen must have called me at least twenty times during my session) isn't exactly the go-to word I would use to describe myself, but by the end of the experience that's exactly what I felt like. 

Not only were they incredibly professional and warm, but they clearly knew exactly what angles, poses and lighting would capture the perfect shot. Jen's constant guidance throughout the process made me feel like a professional, from demonstrating every pose and reminding me to breath, to telling me how incredible I looked while I tried to keep my balance through some of the poses. By the time we were finished I was in love with my body.

And, WOW, did it pay off! Looking at the full gallery I was utterly stunned at how beautifully Brian captured every pose. I literally couldn't stop looking at it. I felt like a goddess. Seeing how phenomenal the finished photos were made me feel indescribably confident in myself. All of a sudden 30 doesn't feel like a such a bad thing! Thanks to my sheer experience, 30 actually feels pretty damn sexy." ~ Rachel

Finally looked in the mirror and saw a goddess!

"I've already been lucky enough to have TWO amazing boudoir shoots with Sheer. I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart because of how much they helped me finally feel confident about who I am. Having a Sheer session is an experience of a lifetime thanks to YOU at Sheer and that's f'in awesome!! I've been complemented on my photos by so many people and it leaves me speechless sometimes because I STILL cannot believe that that's ME! The two shoots I did were boudie days: one in studio w/ full hair, make up, and nails, the second a water session I left all natural. Both of these sessions taught me things I didn't know I was capable of. The first showed me that my booty can always "pop" just a little more! Also, I realized that I'm finally comfortable not taking myself seriously. I've always been embarrassed about everything I did, but this past year has been one amazing growing experience and quite a bit of it is thanks to the Sheer Squad!! My last session showed me that I'm beautiful no matter what. I don't need hair and make up to be a super star, just a positive attitude and the confidence I carried in my shoot. I don't recognize the girl in my shoot because I had so much confidence. Brian and Jen made it so I felt like I was unstoppable. And you know What? I AM unstoppable. I never thought I could do a shoot like the ones Sheer offers, but I did. I never thought I'd ever be comfortable with my body, the largest I've ever been, but I am! I never in a million years thought I'd ever have the strength and courage to share my lifestyle and passions with so many people, but I have and will continue to!

Jen and Brian: Keep being the incredibly perfect power couple you are and show these women what everyone else sees!"

Boudoir Session??? Not for me...or is it!!!

My personal voyage has recently taken me through weight loss surgery.  A personal decision to get healthy and I have come a long way yet I still have a long way to go.  I am at a crossroads in my journey, I am proud of how far I have come yet I am struggling with low self-worth, unhappiness and depression. 

So my bestie suggests a boudoir photo shoot.  A friend of a friend did it, she loved it.  I couldn’t do that, could I?  It may sound fun but who would want to see me?  All of me, half naked no less!! I’m not at my goal weight and far from it with all the stress and emotions I am feeling.  I’m not attractive and would never use the word pretty to describe myself.  I have no business even thinking of doing something like boudoir photos. Yikes!

Then more thoughts started.  Well why couldn’t I do that?  My husband tells me every day how beautiful I am.  Even if I don’t think so, he would certainly be shocked to get photos like that for our anniversary.  I did say I wanted to start doing things outside of my comfort zone.  This certainly counts towards that for sure.  Who cares if you don’t think you are where you should be.  If you wait, you’ll just find more reasons to not do it.  You CAN do it, you WILL do it.  You know you want too.  Truthfully, I did want too so why not?!  I did it.  I booked my session with Sheer!  

Once I was in, I was all in.  I never looked back, even when I felt my worst and most depressed, I was still excited for the day to come.  Getting pampered with full makeup and hair was incredible.  I’m not one for putting on more than a bit of eyeliner and mascara but one look in the mirror and I didn’t even recognize myself.  Who was that pretty girl staring back at me?! Wow! 

I was nervous as we started but quickly fell into a comfortable zone that Brian and Jennifer helped create.  The first photo they showed me on the camera display almost made me cry.  Who is that? That’s certainly not me!  I look pretty!  I look more than that, I look gorgeous!  How can that be me in those pictures?! I’m not the pretty girl, I’m the fun one!  

Getting to see all my pictures at my personal reveal session was more than amazing.  I saw myself showing skin and places I would never want anyone to see and it made me realize, I’m beautiful.  I saw myself in a whole new light and it couldn’t have come at a better time for me.  I still struggle with self-esteem every single day, but the difference is, I have seen the beauty and more importantly I have felt it.  Aside from the expected reaction from my husband he also said to me, “I’m glad you finally got to see yourself as I see you every day.”  Along with the whole experience those words helped me understand and realize I AM BEAUTIFUL.  I AM GORGEOUS and I AM ENOUGH. Makeup or not.  My Sheer Experience really ended up being as much for me as it was an anniversary surprise for him. 

Eat the cake, buy the shoes, book your Sheer Experience. Let it make you aware that you ARE AMAZING and you ARE BEAUTIFUL.  You ARE a #SheerBeauty.

Becoming more comfortable in my skin

"When you’re always trying to conform to the norm, you lose your uniqueness, which can be the foundation for your greatness." ~ Dale Archer

I can finally stand in the mirror and see BEAUTY. Not just in my face (I'm freaking gorgeous, lol) but my body as well. Yea, I might have pushed three (amazing, BEAUTIFUL and loving) kids out, boobs are sagging and have cellulite. But those things doesn't stop me from loving myself and seeing my WORTH!

Everybody has a part of her body that she doesn’t like, but I’ve stopped complaining about mine because I don’t want to critique nature’s handiwork… "My job is simply to allow the light to shine out of the masterpiece." ~ Alfre Woodard

I would like to thank Jen and Brian for an awesome experience. They're amazing in what they do. They even gave me more boost of confidence, (without realizing it) and made me more comfortable in my SKIN! Can't wait to have more pictures taken by you both!

Xoxo, Miss T

Pushing past your comfort zone...

I've known Jen and Brian for many years before my Sheer Experience. As soon as they told me about wanting to start taking boudoir photography I was so supportive from day one but always from the background. I always told myself I was not as beautiful as the women in front of their camera and wasn't good enough to be posted on their beautiful Facebook page. Four years later after one final nudge from them, I started the process to do my very own Sheer Experience. I was SO SCARED! Just knowing that a man would be taking my photos was SO INTIMIDATING! Brian was nothing but professional and helpful while Jen was amazing like always, helping me with posing (WHICH I LOVED) and keeping me comfortable. Brian knew just what to do to get the perfect lighting and after a few minutes I literally couldn't stop laughing and smiling. These two people truly know how to make a person feel their best. Brian would ask me what I didn't like so that he could quickly adjust the positioning so that I was happy with everything that came from the camera. At my photo reveal I got to bring my husband and he loved every single image. Everything I would point out that I liked Jen was on the exact same page as me the entire process.

I can't tell you how important it is for you to step out of your comfort zone and to have your own Sheer Experience. EVERYTIME I see my photos I'm grinning from ear to ear because of just how much I've changed the way I see myself since that day. I am so happy to forever have these images. Thank you so much to Jen and Brian for pushing me past my limits because you believed in me. Bogart Couple Session Spring 2K17!!!"

Miss A's Second Experience

"After my first boudoir shoot with Jen and Brian, I felt hot, confident, and sexy as hell! So booking another shoot was something I had been waiting for but.....

Leading up to my 2nd session, nothing seemed to be going my way. Since Marenda Zeronas (my go-to makeup girl) moved to Georgia, I had to find a new makeup person – the person I found did my makeup a few shades too orange... My hair wasn’t cooperating (of course) - I felt old, fat, and my face had just broken out like I was back in junior high. (I was also being over dramatic just like in junior high! haha) Needless to say, I wasn’t feeling myself at all before I got to the studio, and even while I was there I didn’t think my pictures were going to come out as great as my first session – I still had a blast with Jen and Brian though. They have a way of making you relax and laugh, even at yourself sometimes. (It’s also a plus when Jen takes off her pants!) The new Sheer studio is huge and I'm obsessed with it! I love the big huge windows the most.

By the end of my session, I felt a little bit better about myself and after seeing a few of the photos during the session I was a lot more at ease. When I came back for my reveal, I was super nervous to see all of my images...but I was pleasantly surprised!!! Even though I wasn't feeling as hot as I had for my first session, I still looked sexy and hot af!!! 

Anytime people ask me about these shoots I tell them to do it! Don’t wait. If you aren't feeling 100% confident, that's even more reason to do it. It’s a once in a lifetime experience that you get to have proof of. You will see yourself in a completely different and fantastic way. Do it for you!"

 

Love always - Miss A

The words of Miss A

 I've followed Sheer Photography on instagram for a few years and everyday I see pictures of such gorgeous women. I was ecstatic to know that I'd get to be apart of the beautiful women they photograph. Once reality sank in I realized that I was not at all ready for this experience! I'm very awkward and I thought to myself, a boudior photoshoot would be insane for me to do! I never felt so nervous in my entire life but when I came in for my session Jen and Brian made me feel at home and my nerves instantly calmed down. They were so welcoming and explained everything we'd be doing and Jen helped me practice my "sexy face". Once I changed into my first outfit my nerves went back up again! I felt pretty awkward to do the first few pictures but thankfully Jen was down with me so I could mimic her moves and it became so much fun! For as self conscious as I am about myself I didn't think there'd be a single picture that I'd like. When I came in for my reveal my 1 1/2 year old daughter got to have a little play date with their beautiful daughter and Brian while Jen showed me my pictures! They had an awesome slide show made up of all my pictures and I just couldn't believe how amazing I looked! I cannot wait until I get my pictures I ordered! I have never seen a bad picture posted by sheer photography, they really know how to bring out the beauty in women (& men!) of all different shapes and sizes. Jen and Brian are the most kind hearted people and are absolutely amazing at what they do.  I highly recommend booking a session with them as soon as possible!  I know I'll definitely be booking another session! Thank you guys so much!😘

Miss M

LOVE what Miss M had to say about her experience

"So before My session, I was a nervous wreck! I was so worried about how the pictures were going to turn out and if I was going to look stupid in them. I really wanted to look hot and feel good about my self, but I was nervous. When I got to the studio, I got even more nervous! Haha my name was on the chalk board as I walked in and reality started sinking in that I was really going to do this and quite a few people were going to see! You guys made me feel so welcome and so comfortable though. I got a glass of wine and that calmed my nerves a little bit. I got into my outfit and said this is it! I walked my nervous butt over to the couch and started taking it all in! After the first couple of pictures, I started to relax.  Jen and Brian were so helpful by telling me how to pose, showing me how to pose, positioning my body for me if I needed it, and by telling me what looked good and what didn't. Through out the entire shoot, Jen and Brian gave me compliments left and right and it really boosted my confidence and made me feel great! I felt like a true model! Everything just started falling into place and I was relaxed and just having a blast! After the shoot, I had never felt better. I felt like a total hottie and a rockstar! When I came to my reveal, I was amazed at the girl I was looking at on the screen. I am never too fond looking at pictures of myself, but the pictures you took of me were absolutely stunning, and for once, I looked at a picture of myself and said "DAMN, I AM HOT!" It was the greatest feeling ever, and just the boost I've needed lately. I can't thank you guys enough for making this the most fun, relaxing, and enjoyable experience I've ever had! I would do this over 100 times! Thank you guys for being so amazing and helping me realize HOW BEAUTIFUL I AM  ! "

Couples Boudoir

Check out this sexy couple and what they had to say about their session. 

So I originally saw all of Sheer Photography's photos online through mutual friends. I thought they were absolutely beautiful! 

IMG_8764.JPG
IMG_8753.JPG

  I had never seen a boudoir shoot done quite so good. I eventually worked up the courage to get one done. The original plan was to surprise my boyfriend at the time but he was curious how everything worked and ended up going to the consult with me. Jennifer had suggested maybe we sneak him into a few photos. We ended up actually convincing him to do the shoot as a couples shoot! It was such a great experience! 

IMG_8631.JPG
IMG_8755.JPG

  Brian and Jennifer are an amazing team and made us both feel so comfortable. Jennifer's help with posing was a big thing for me especially since I wasn't quite confident on how to do that. And Brian knew just what angles to get the photos! They came out amazing!

  It made us feel closer as a couple when we left. And both of us were so excited the whole day, it was like our whole mood changed. We'd love to get back whenever we could! It was fun and sexy and the memories will last a lifetime! We appreciate everything you guys do! It was beyond worth it!

#SheerGirl Miss M

Miss M is one of our beautiful #SheerGirl spokesmodels and has done a few sessions with us. This is what she had to say about her most recent #SheerMoment..."I just want to start off by saying I Freaking love Sheer! Jen and Brian are the most down to earth people I have met in my life, I think of them as my Sheer Besties. I love everything about every one of my Sheer visits. Each time I step in front of their camera it gives me this sense of sexiness I mean lights camera BarbieToes! I've also learned that I do Sheer for me, myself and I! I love how it makes me feel as a woman!" 

Our mentor session with Miranda Parker

As many of you know, we moved to a new studio in March 2016. With this new studio, came a TON of extra space that we weren't used to having. We went from our little garage studio to a 2400+ sq. ft. shooting space. When we first started shooting here we felt a little overwhelmed with all this extra room. So, we hired the beautiful and talented Miranda Parker to come to our studio for a posing mentor session. We are beyond thrilled with the changes and variety she brought to our posing! Here are some of the amazing images we got from our time together. Thank you to Miss R for being an amazing model for the day! 

After #BodyLove 2.0

The #BodyLove projects that we do are something that we hold very close to our heart. The first time we did it, we wanted women to embrace their "flaws". If I asked you to name 10 things you love about yourself, I know it would be hard to come up with enough good qualities or features. But, if I asked you to name 10 things you didn't like about yourself, I'm sure it would be pretty easy. We are women, we always put everyone else before ourselves and never have time to look at all the good in ourselves. With our #BodyLove projects and every boudoir session we do, we want the women who come to us to feel special, to embrace their femininity and sexuality, to feel like they are enough, to know that they are gorgeous, sexy and desirable. We want to help bring that spark out of you that maybe you've never seen before or maybe you haven't seen in a very long time. 

We had 7 women come to us for #BodyLove2.0 who were nervous as hell and scared they wouldn't look good on camera, but they trusted us to show them just how sexy they were. We only had 15 minutes to get some amazing photos with each woman and help them see how freakin' HOTT they are! So, below are 4 images from each of the women who participated in our #BodyLove project along with what they thought of themselves before they got half naked for Sheer Photography and how they felt after their session and seeing their images.

"Before #BodyLove, When I looked in the mirror I saw me, as a mom, girlfriend, friend. I saw happy and sad. I saw all my imperfections. A typical day for me is waking up, getting my son ready for school, watch him walk on his bus. Then I get myself ready and go to work. Come home to my family, have dinner, a little fun and finally bed time. It's not a glamorous life, but it's mine. And I love it! After my #BodyLove photo shoot, I definitely feel more confident in myself. I didn't expect the confidence it gave me. I believe every woman must do this for themselves. They deserve it! When I look at my images, I see a sexy woman!" ~ Miss C

"Before #BodyLove, When I looked in the mirror I saw a girl trying to become a women. I saw a girl who's insecure and who didn't fully know who she was. I wanted to see what others saw. I wanted to see my true beauty. I wanted to see my worth. A typical day for me, I get up, get my four year old ready for school (usually rushing) throw on some makeup and black clothes (I'm a hairdresser) let out the dog and rush out the door. I work 6-8 hours at the salon, pick up my daughter, head to the gym, home to cook, eat, pack lunches, take a bath, bed, then repeat! After my #BodyLove photo shoot, I definitely feel more confident in myself. I see a sexy, strong, beautiful woman now!" ~ Carly

"Before #BodyLove, When I looked in the mirror I saw a body that defeats me. I tryed my best to love my body, but it really just seemed impossible. How do you love something you want to change so much? A typical day for me is, wake up, clean, get myself ready, wake up my husband and daughter, go to work, get off and pick up my daughter, go home and cook, do some more cleaning, get the little one fed and bathed put her to bed, work out, and lastly wait up for my husband to have some alone time with him. After my #BodyLove photo shoot, I feel the most confident in myself that I've felt in years. I now see a version of myself that I've never seen before." ~Miss C

"Before #BodyLove, When I looked in the mirror, honestly, I saw imperfections that aren't easily remedied. I saw stretched out skin, rolls, and chunkier arms than I would like. I know what my pre-baby body looked like and I can imagine it still and it makes me sad. I was angry with myself for making excuses for so long, my body used to take care of itself, but know I have to work on it. I would look in the mirror and tell myself "hey at least you aren't as fat as I was two months ago!" I am trying to love myself again. Doing a session was gonna be my gift to myself when I got my body back, but it seems it's gonna take longer than I thought. A typical day for me is Monday thru Friday I get up at 6am and get myself and my daughter ready. I go to work at my new job from 8-5. I come home and make dinner, do chores, spend time with my daughter and dog. I prep my lunch for the next day and my clothes, as well as my daughters. Then I normally shower and have myself and my daughter in bed no later than 9. Every other weekend my daughter goes with her father so those weekends I pamper myself by doing chores and spending time with friends. The weekends I have my daughter are for her, chores, and family! And that's my life in a nut shell. After my #BodyLove photo shoot, I definitely feel more confident in myself. I have been building my confidence back up over time for a while now. Signing up for #BodyLove was a way to launch myself out of that comfort zone I have become overly accustom to. The ease I felt once I stepped into the unforgiving daylight for my session was welcoming. Jen advised me to take a deep breath and with that exhale went all my insecurities. Simultaneously, I felt my renewed confidence flood my body and I could breath freely again! All of this is due to BodyLove, Jen, and Brian for their mission to revive the Confidence in all women. When I look at the final products from #BodyLove I feel blessed. The pictures capture the strong independent woman I have become and pay homage to the remarkable body that has sustained and given life. I respect my body more after participating in #BodyLove. I knew I had a distorted view of myself and that I need to shift my focus. These final products from Sheer have done just that, they have taught me to love myself again." ~ Miss C

"Before #BodyLove, When I looked in the mirror I used to see a body I wasn't happy with and stretch marks from my daughter. I have been working on my body and now I see myself as a beautiful person with curves and a love for life. I carry my stretch marks as a trophy so many women can't carry a child and I have been blessed and done it. I'm loving myself again. A typical day for me is attending school part time and working full time with rotating days off and on. After my #BodyLove photo shoot, I definitely feel more confident in myself. I do not see myself now as just a mom and a nurse! I feel like a sexy individual and I feel like everyone should get a chance to feel amazing like this. Jen and Brian were absolutely amazing and made the experience fun and enjoyable! Can't wait to be able to come back and do it again!!!" ~ Emily

"Before #BodyLove, When I look in the mirror I see happiness and passion. I see love and strength. I see the reflection of a woman that has lived life to the fullest every step of the way. A typical day typically consists of work as a hairstylist from 9am to any hour of the evening. Depending on the day my husband or I will cook dinner and have a family meal when we both are home. Our morning routines are simple -- shower and style hair & make up as fast as a 3 year old will let you. Evening routines include board games or jigsaw puzzles, incredibly playful bathtime for our boy and some quiet time before bed. Everyday is full of love and laughter as corny as that sounds, life really feels like a dream come true. After my #BodyLove photo shoot, I walked out of the shoot with a different air to me. A weight I didn't realize I carried was lifted. For the first time just the feeling of being a woman felt STRONG and BRAVE. I think for some those feelings come in many different ways but for me it happened while I shed some cloths and let some inner beauty escape. My images completely shocked me. I see myself in a way I never felt; sexy!!! It's amazing that an image can show such depth to me, my inner beauty shining outwardly. They are drop. Dead. Gorgeous." ~ Miss E

"Before #BodyLove, When I looked in the mirror I unfortunately saw someone that used to be in great shape, but after 2 babies and a divorce, a woman that has lost the fiery spirit she once possessed. A typical day for me is getting up with my 9 year old son and 7 year old daughter. After running around getting them ready for school, I barely have the time to put myself together. I never left the house without makeup. Now, I am lucky if I can put coverup and mascara on before walking out the door (usually though it's on my way to work...). I work full time at an eye doctor's office doing the billing and coding. After work is Mommy mode, getting the kids to their multiple activities then home for homework and dinner. Once the kids are taken care of and tucked in, I collapse on the couch to watch a movie or read a book...most likely falling asleep! After my #BodyLove photo shoot, I see a woman who while not society's version of perfect is far from being the gross person she thought she was when she looked at herself in the mirror. I see a woman who embraced the moment & allowed herself to be confident & feel sexy." ~ Miss N

Miss A's #SheerExperience

"Leading up to the session, I felt anxious and excited to do it. I had talked to a fellow #SheerBeauty about her shoot so I knew I was in good hands. I was a little nervous about how I was going to naturally react to strangers taking pictures of me and seeing me next to naked, but Brian & Jen were very easy going and made me very comfortable. I'm happy I was able to relax so my pictures didn't turn out like I was stiff."

"My favorite part of my #SheerExperience was having Jen there to help me pose, and tell me exactly what to do. I was able to really understand what they wanted me to do, just by a few words from her. I think the best part - aside from seeing the end product - was that we were able to joke and have fun, and it wasn't all serious business.

"After my boudoir session with Sheer, I felt empowered and genuinely beautiful. I was even more excited to see how the prints were going to come out, after seeing some of the images on the camera, I couldn't believe how they looked! I felt like a supermodel, for sure.

If you are even thinking about booking a session, then book it. The fact that you are considering it, means you want to do it enough. Don't doubt yourself and how you feel about your body, Jen helps you pose and do things with your body to help emphasize the parts you love and hide the parts you aren't all that fond of (we all have them). Most of all, if you aren't doing it for your guy (because he will obviously love these pictures) and you're doing it for yourself, just think, when you are old and wrinkly, you'll have something to look at and remind yourself how hot you looked! (that was my thinking anyways)"          

XOXO, Miss A

#BodyLove 2.0

“And I said to my body softly, ‘I want to be your friend.’ It took a deep breath and replied, ‘I have been waiting my whole life for this.’”
