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.
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” Or a common one – “I seem to be doing all the caring for everyone else – when will someone just care about me ?” Or maybe you avoid looking in the mirror because it’s a reminder of the aging process.
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. It’s almost like once we’ve gone through the menopause we are made to feel asexual and sidelined.
Well lovely lady – this is your moment to change all and to 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. Although to be clear if you feel uncomfortable being part of the exhibition – it isn’t compulsory – your privacy is important to me.
This is a unique chance for you to shine, to show them you aren’t invisible – you are worthy. A chance to be pampered and be treated like you deserve to be. It’s empowering and emotional and maybe a little eccentric – it’s not for everyone – but it’s fun (and it’s a chance to give something back to charity) Win win.
Interested? A day of glorious escapism awaits you – a boudoir photoshoot where we transform and fill you with positivity. There is an incredible liberating aspect to stepping out of your comfort zone . If you can do this – you can do anything. 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 interview 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!! My boudoir is classy, stylish and elegant all the way! I’m more likely to cover you up than uncover you!)
When was the last time you did something just for you?
When was the last time you looked at yourself and truly loved what you saw?
Meet Sharon - the photographer behind Symply Boudoir
I am Sharon Mallinson, a Lincolnshire based woman “of a certain age” running Symply Boudoir. I’ve been a wedding and family photographer since my early 20’s and have been specialising in boudoir 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 also want to smash the misconceptions around boudoir photography – contrary to popular belief – boudoir is not about sexy images for HIM – it’s about body confidence images for YOU.
I am also very proud to support the work of Breast Cancer Now. Why? Because 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 nearly 300 women view themselves through the empowering experience of our boudoir shoots.
