you’re exactly the woman I photograph.

Boudoir photography for mature women - Lincolnshire

Most women who walk through my door tell me the same things…

“I’m too old…”

“I’m too curvy…”

“I’ll book when I’ve lost a stone…”

“I’m going to be your hardest client yet.” (For the record, I’ve yet to meet the woman who really is “my hardest client.”)

They never are.

Because this isn’t about changing the way you look. It’s about changing the way you see yourself.

Hi, I’m Sharon, and after photographing hundreds of women over the years  I’ve learnt something interesting. Almost every single lady  is convinced she’s the exception. She thinks she’s too old, too awkward, too self-conscious or simply “not photogenic”. Then she sees her photographs… and usually says something unrepeatable!

This isn’t about looking younger – It’s about feeling like yourself again

Walking into a boudoir studio for the first time is a bit like turning up to a party where you don’t know anyone. It’s nerve-racking.

Almost every woman arrives apologising before we’ve even started, convinced she’s awkward, hopeless in front of the camera or about to be my biggest challenge of the year.

The funny thing is, within half an hour those worries have usually disappeared.

Katie my make up artist is busy working her magic, we’re chatting away as if we’ve known each other for years, and somewhere between the cups of tea and the laughter you stop thinking about how you look and simply enjoy yourself.

You don’t need to know how to pose, you don’t need a “good side”, and you certainly don’t need to feel confident before you arrive. That’s my job.

By the time you see your photographs, I hope your first thought isn’t “that’s not me.” I hope it’s “maybe I’ve been far harder on myself than I needed to be.” And you won’t have had to hide behind the feathers x

Still think you’re the exception?

Jackie nearly didn’t come

Jackie was furious with herself. She’d signed up for one of my Ageless Projects and  immediately regretted it. She had to have a very firm word with herself.

“Nobody made you do this. Stop being daft.” 

She came anyway.Walking in, she said the full set. “I’m not at all photogenic. I have a weird smile and I’m not  confident enough”

(If you’re nodding, you’re in good company. Every single woman who’s walked through that door has said some version of the same thing.)

But then something lovely happens. She relaxes. She laughs. She forgets about the things she was worried about. Jackie loved every minute of it.

So much so that she came back for a second shoot and told me she could have stayed all day. Would have done anything I asked.

“Even if you wanted me upside down hanging from the ceiling if it came to it”

(Watch Jackie straight after her shoot here)

Who is this Typically for?

Mature Women

This experience is for the woman who’s spent years putting everyone else first and has finally decided it might be her turn.

Life has been lived. Children raised, parents cared for, responsibilities carried, relationships navigated and challenges overcome.

Now it’s about her. Not because it’s on a bucket list, but because she knows there will always be a reason to wait. And if not now, then when?

Bridal Boudoir

 

Whilst I generally appeal to older woman – many brides appreciate my style, graceful, understated and beautifully feminine, built around natural elegance and simplicity.

If you’d love to surprise your partner with something truly unforgettable, a “For Your Eyes Only” boudoir album is the perfect gift.

It’s far more meaningful than cufflinks and offers you a gentle confidence boost before you say “I do.”

Gift Vouchers

When you know she’s incredible but she can’t quite see it herself, a boudoir experience can be one of the most meaningful gifts you’ll ever give.

It’s confidence-building, empowering and deeply personal. A chance for her to see herself through kinder eyes, away from the self-doubt and criticism so many women carry.

Something that stays with her long after the day itself, reminding her of her beauty, her strength and the woman she’s always been.
