When did you last see a photo of yourself and actually love it?

If you can't remember - and are in your 50's, 60's, 70's & beyond ....keep reading

I’m Sharon, and I’m 64. I’m the same age as a lot of the women who walk through my door wondering what on earth possessed them to book a boudoir shoot. I know exactly how you feel about the thought of standing in front of a camera. I also know what it’s like to look in the mirror and think the person staring back has somehow become invisible. That’s precisely why I do this.
My studio is near Sleaford in Lincolnshire, it’s just me and Katie. She’s a make up artist who understands that women our age don’t want to look like we’ve had our make up plastered on (Olan Mills anyone?? If you know you know!) By the time she’s finished with you, you’ll look like yourself – just the version of yourself that usually only shows up at weddings.
I photograph one woman a day. Just one. You get the whole studio to yourself and two slightly batty women entirely focused on making sure you leave feeling something you probably weren’t expecting.
You’re in safe hands. Slightly wrinkled ones (well, mine are, but safe.)
Who is this for?
There’s a moment in every woman’s life when we suddenly realise we seem to be invisible. Our kids roll their eyes at us when we make a comment- our partner doesn’t even appear to lift their eyes from the telly or phone when we walk into the room.
And let’s not even go down the route of the effects the dreaded “M” word has on how we feel about ourselves! Our confidence hits rock bottom. We know we have to embrace the change – but we don’t necessarily like it.
How many times have you thought – “I just want to be ME again? I want to feel beautiful, and do something to make me feel good about myself” Or a common one – “I seem to be doing all the caring for everyone else – when will someone just care about me ?”
Some ladies however are in a place where life has shifted—children grown, relationships changed, priorities different—and they want to mark that, properly, while they still feel strong in themselves and want to celebrate how good life is. Because if not now – when?
Different starting points… but there’s a shared thread underneath it all.
Well – this is your moment to do just that – to be seen and heard! Let’s make them sit up and take notice – help you get your sparkle back again – and at the end of the project be part of a unique exhibition to raise funds for Breast Cancer. It’s private -just for my ladies and their families.
Finally – after all this time – you will end up with a set of vibrant images you can be proud of.
And that’s kind of the point.

Interested?
A day of glorious glamorous escapism awaits you. A boudoir photoshoot where we transform and encourage you to shine – you will walk out wondering why it took you so long. It’s just big girls dressing up where not only do we make you look amazing we help you FEEL amazing too.
(Oh – and to be clear – although I was introduced on a recent BBC Radio Lincolnshire interview as the lady in Billingborough that takes “nudey rudey photos” – they’re not nude and they’re not rude! No bums or bits in this studio I’m afraid!! My boudoir is classy, subtle and elegant all the way! I’m more likely to cover you up than uncover you!)
I’d love for you to have a set of stunning boudoir photos you can be proud of. How? By taking part in Symply Boudoir’s Ageless over 50 Project (Chapter 6)
This is our 6th annual project and includes all the following:-
• CONSULTATION: To discuss how YOU want to be photographed and to plan your wardrobe & styling.
•DETAILED SESSION GUIDE: No worries about what to wear – we have it covered – we tell you what to bring and what we can supply
• PROFESSIONAL HAIR & MAKEUP: A pampering session with makeup and hairstyling so that you look your best.
• PORTRAIT OF YOUR CHOICE: Your session includes your first image, finished and ready to take away. Most women genuinely think that will be it when they book… and then they sit down afterwards, look through everything properly, and realise they don’t want to stop at one. If you decide to add more images or an album, you’ll have no shortage of images that you are delighted with to choose from.
• YOU’LL BE CELEBRATED IN OUR PRIVATE FUNDRAISING EXHIBITION for Breast Cancer Now and be in our magazine featuring all of the lovely ladies taking part and their stories.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
We are offering the Ageless over 50 Boudoir Photoshoot Experience for
£250
I have a money back guarantee if you can’t find a photo you love (that has never been used in 16 years of being a boudoir photographer)
If this sounds like you do get in touch.… … but also know this isn’t just about having a few nice photos taken. This is such a transformational experience.
Most women come into this thinking “oh you will have your work cut out with me” – and then find themselves stunned at not only what they see but how they feel afterwards. And – to be honest that’s the important bit.
It’s not for everyone – I get that.
But for the woman who is ready, and wants to do something positive for her self esteem – or even just wants to celebrate where she is in her life now – this is something that is quite literally life changing.
Sessions are limited and they will take place at my home studio near Sleaford in Lincolnshire between now and December 2026
The 5 star reviews at the bottom of this page say it all.









Sessions for the Ageless over 50 Project (Chapter 6) are limited. Shoots can booked through to December 2026.

EXCELLENT 138 reviewsPosted on Google Cindy Allcoat What an amazing experience with some amazing shots that make me feel so beautiful and empowered. Sharon and Katie not only made me feel like a million pounds, they also got me looking like a million pounds too. The event was fun, fulfilling and awesome. Thank you ladies xxPosted on Google Louise Goldsmith A wonderful experience from start to finish. So much time given before and during ( I am yet to see my photo's) the experience. Sharon and Katie are professional but friendly and make the whole experience fun and enlightening. I would definitely recommend .Posted on Google JANE WEBB I have just come back from my photo shoot and can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoyed it. I was so nervous first thing in the morning but as soon as I got though the door at Sharon’s they went. Going through the clothes and chatting with Sharon and Katie you start to enjoy the process. Sharon called it ‘big girl dressing up’ and it was so much fun. Like me, I am sure you have the little voice in your head thinking ‘it’s alright for you I bet you’re confident in yourself’. I’m not, like a lot of us inside is not as confident as the outside. But Sharon and Katie have a way of guiding you so the self doubt diminishes and the fun takes over. Amazing experience I felt confident in front of a camera for the first time in my life as I trusted Sharon so completely. You don’t worry about lumps and bumps, scars and loose flab. She has you covered both literally and figuratively. Thanks Sharon and Katie I could have stayed all day playing dress up and being so well taken care of. You are gems xPosted on Google Ruth Crystal-waters Truly amazing Such wonderful friendly ladies who absolutely put you at ease and bring out the best in you. Such fun. Giggles. No embarrassment just girls having fun Loved every moment of my shoot. Hair makeup stunning. And the end result just as I wanted me. My inner goddess shining through.Posted on Google Debbie Pauley I booked a boudoir shoot with Sharon I felt nervous and had lost a bit of confidence. Once I arrived I was put at ease immediately as Sharon and Katie (hair and make up) were such warm friendly ladies. My hair and make up was amazing. The photos well I don’t know where to start. I had to look twice as I couldn’t believe it was me. I didn’t like how I looked in photos but these were so professional tasteful and simply amazing. My only problem I struggled which photos to choose they were all so good. But not only did I have wonderful photos but Sharon gave me my confidence back and we had such fun during the whole process. I can highly recommend.Posted on Google Denise Jarvis Hi everyone, this lady is amazing. Thank you so much for everything. You have changed the way I see myself and given me a new confidence.

XxPosted on Google Beverley Lewis Absolutely amazing experience would truly recommend at least once in your life to be sassy and free ❣️Posted on Google Shazza Bee What an amazing experience and one of the best things I've done for myself! From the moment Sharon answered the door, I was made to feel at home. Sharon and Katie helped me choose my outfits from those I had brought with me, Katie transformed me with hair and makeup, and the following few hours were spent posing, laughing and feeling bloody awesome!
