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.
How many times have you thought – “I just want to be ME again? I want to feel beautiful, sexy and do something to make me feel good about myself”
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. Oh – this exhibition isn’t a vanity fest for me – the photographer. It’s private -just for my ladies and their families.
A chance for you to shine , to show them you aren’t invisible – you are worthy – and to tell your story. It’s empowering and emotional and it’s a chance to give something back. Win win.
Interested? A day of glorious escapism awaits you – where we transform and encourage you to shine – you will walk out feeling as though you have been sprinkled with our legendary pixie dust. It’s just big girls dressing up where not only do we make you look amazing we help you FEEL amazing too. Promise.
(Oh – and to be clear – although I was introduced on a recent BBC Radio Lincolnshire radio show as the lady in Billingborough that takes “nudey rudey photos” – they’re not nude and they’re not rude! No porn star shots in this studio I’m afraid!! Classy, stylish and elegant all the way!)
I am Sharon Mallinson, a Lincolnshire based photographer running Symply Boudoir. I’ve been a wedding and family photographer since my early 20’s and have been specialising in boudoir and glamour portrait sessions for 15 years now.Which I love. I especially love the reaction women who thought they were unphotogenic when they see themselves on the back of my camera for the first time. It’s the most amazing feeling – for them and for me.
I am also very proud to support the work of Breast Cancer Now. Why? Because it dawned on me that so many of my lovely ladies have in some way experienced this terrible disease – along with a very dear friend – so it’s my little way of giving something back. We have raised over £9000 from our last three exhibitions and have also changed the way the 150 women who took part in the last three 50 over 50 projects view themselves through the empowering experience of boudoir. By popular request we have now opened up our next project to include ladies in their 40’s and beyond – hence 40 over 40!
Do YOU want be part of this amazing experience and regain your inner sparkle? We guarantee we can change the way you view yourself.
