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.

Full consultation along with a detailed session guide so you know exactly what we can provide and what you need to bring.
A relaxed home studio with a choice of 5 bedrooms to be photographed in - giving you a variety of different looks.
Camera-ready custom makeup and hair styling by Katie. You will love her. Glammed up or natural/refined, it's all up to you! 
Think you're unphotogenic? Think again

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