Boudoir Session with Ellen
Working with Ellen was extremely fun! We tried some different colour sets in gold and cream and also used the white satin sheets for most of her images. Ellen wanted a Christmas present that her boyfriend would remember for a long time! I believe he loved it! Here is what Ellen had to say about her session.
How old are you?
28
What do you do for a living?
Hospital Pharmacy Technician
What made you decide to do a boudoir session?
I did it for a gift for my boyfriend ( and I also love having photos taken)
What was your perception about Boudoir before your session?
I didn’t really have a particular perception about it.
Did you have fears about committing to a boudoir session?
My only fear that was that the session would be awkward because I would have hardly any clothes on. And I was afraid that I would be cold for the same reason haha.
Was the session what you expected it to be or was it more?
The session was awesome! It wasn’t awkward at all. Some of the positions for the photos were a bit uncomfortable because my body isn’t used to it so I was a bit sore the next day from using muscles that I hadn’t used in ages! Apart from that it was a fantastic experience!
What was your favourite part about your boudoir experience?
I loved having my hair and makeup done and I really enjoyed posing in front of the camera.
What was your reaction to your makeup and hair?
I loved my hair and makeup, I think they suited the style of the shoot really well.
Where did you go to source your boudoir outfits?
I bought all of my outfits from Honey Birdette, Bras N Things and the blue floral nightie was from Peter Alexander.
How did you feel when you saw your photographs?
I loved my photographs! I thought my body looked really flattering. Its great to see yourself in a different light like that because you look at your body every day but you don’t appreciate it and think it is beautiful everyday. It's important to have self confidence and love your body.
What advice would you have for other women interested in their own boudoir session?
Just do it, no matter what your shape! I am so glad I did it and now I will have those beautiful photos to look back on forever.
Did anything change about the way you see your own beauty and confidence as a result of the session?
I guess that I didn’t really think of myself as particularly sexy before the shoot. Now I definitely do!
How did you hear about Kerry Sleeman Photography? Facebook.
How did you like working with Kerry Sleeman, her team and other Collaboratives before and on the day of your photo shoot?
I just worked with Kerry and she was great. She is very professional, welcoming and relaxed.
Would you do it again and if so would you change anything? Yes I would love to do it again! I would change my outfits and my hair and the set colours just for a different look.
Would you recommend others?
I would recommend it for everyone! And I have been showing some friends the photos and recommending they do a session!
Did you consider a Stylist Package by Sueno Designs?
I would consider it.
Testimonial My experience of my boudoir photo shoot with Kerry was awesome! She made me feel very welcomed and relaxed throughout the entire shoot. I loved my hair and makeup and the images were more than I could have ever hoped for. I purchased an album for my boyfriend as a Christmas present and he actually cried when he opened it because he thought it was such a beautiful thing to do for myself and for him. I would recommend a boudoir photo shoot with Kerry for anyone! It's so important to appreciate your body and make yourself feel beautiful!
