Symply Boudoir Photography Reviews

What can I say that other people haven't already said. I am 63 & had been dithering over doing this for a few years before I finally booked it. On arrival, I found Sharon & Katie to be really lovely ladies and made me feel at ease straightaway. I am not comfortable in front of the camera but by the end of the shoot I felt like a supermodel! I found the whole experience empowering, surprising, fun & enjoyable. I was anxious when I went to view the photos as I am very rarely happy with images of myself but Sharon was very understanding & supportive. I was amazed at the finished result. They were stunning! Sharon definitely knows her stuff and it took a while to choose the ones I wanted to take home with me. The photos were amazing & I looked fantastic! This is not a photoshoot at a High Street photoshop it is a very exclusive shoot and the price of the packages reflects this but the quality is exceptional & the results are stunning. I am absolutely thrilled with mine. I can't stop looking at them. I feel like a different woman. My self confidence has soared. If this is is something you have been thinking of doing for yourself then I would say don't wait any longer, just do it. I promise you will not regret it.

Professional from start to finish. Both Sharon and Katie were lovely and made me feel right at home. Absolutely stunning photos and a fun experience. But the whole experience showed me I can still be pretty, it turns out everyone knew but me. Would highly recommend this experience for any lady lacking self confidence

At 66 this was my retirement treat. I wanted to see what my husband saw. Sharon and Kate were fantastic, I felt so comfortable, hair and makeup was spot on and even though I’m camera shy Sharon brought out the best in me. Thank you so much ladies. I was spoilt for choice when it came to viewing the pictures and nervous even though Sharon had shown me some of them. I cannot thank you enough, great day and lovely ladies xx

From my somewhat early arrival to the end of the shoot was an absolute blast. It really was out of my comfort zone as I hate the camera! Sharon and Katie put me at me ease with a fun chat to start the day. We chose the outfits from what I'd brought with me, everything at my own pace and with whatever I felt comfortable in. Katie then worked her magic with a fantastic hair and makeup session. I need her every morning! No pressure to do anything I didn't want to do. The dreaded moment arrived for the photos but I felt comfortable throughout, a lots of laughs along the way. I have to remember to keep the knees together!! The session finished all too quickly and a friendly goodbye ended off a wonderful day. Nine days later I returned to view the results. Sharon explained thoroughly the process of choosing whic, if any, to have. We eventually whittled it down to my selection, there were more photos I was happy with than I could choose. At no point was I pressured to buy any but as it was an experience I'm unlikely to have again was more than happy to buy. We chose a lovely album to put them in and I chose the picture included in the fee to take home with me, presented in a lovely box to keep it safe. I look forward to getting the others! So in conclusion ladies, if like me you'd rather take photos, than be in them, dont hesitate, you won't regret it.

I loved my photo shoot. I couldn’t believe how fabulous I looked and felt after Katie had worked her magic on my hair and makeup! My reaction was priceless. Sharon is so kind and made me feel so special. I know it’s a pricey treat, but it was worth every penny. I cannot wait to see my heirloom box, which is arriving tomorrow. I’m going to sit with a glass of wine, admiring myself, because I can! I would highly recommend booking ladies, you won’t regret it!

At 69 this was a treat to myself for my 70th birthday next year. What an absolutely fantastic experience with Sharon and Katie on this photo shoot. The nerves soon went with the help of these two and I had a fabulous time rocking this shoot. Lots of fabulously glamorous photos to choose from and I didn’t know I could look so good as a larger/older lady but I did. Thank you for making me look and feel so fantastic and so natural and for making me feel on top of the world.

At 60, I never thought I’d find myself in front of a camera in lingerie, but my experience with Symply Boudoir completely changed that. The moment I arrived I was immediately put at ease. Everything is taken care of, hair, makeup and gentle guidance throughout the shoot. All I had to do was relax and enjoy the experience. There’s no rushing, no pressure, just a warm, welcoming atmosphere where the focus was entirely on me. A boudoir session with Sharon and Kate is more than just a photoshoot, it’s a celebration of who I am, right now. It’s elegant, fun, and empowering, it’s a gift to yourself. The images themselves are stunning. They are more than just pictures. They’re a beautiful reminder of who I am, of the confidence and femininity that’s still very much alive in me. If you’re looking for an uplifting, confidence-boosting experience, I cannot recommend it enough. It’s a celebration of yourself, and at any age, that’s a truly priceless gift!

Well, what can I say! Sharon and Katie are amazing. I was pretty nervous about the whole idea of a menopausal woman in her late 50s doing a photoshoot……in her underwear! I needn’t have worried. We were all soon giggling and having a brilliant time. Nerves were forgotten, my lack of body confidence was forgotten and when I saw the results…..all I can say is wow!!! If anyone out there of a certain age is wondering about doing this, go for it, you won’t regret it. Thank you so much ladies, it was so much fun. ……and my husband loved the photos!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience, do not feel apprehensive or afraid to do one of these lovely photo shoots, it’s great to get dressed up and be pampered by Sharon and Katie, they are a lovely team and will certainly put you at ease. Then you get to look at and choose your photos, ( not an easy task) and they were amazing, so ladies get dialling that phone number and get booked in.😊

This truly has started my life again . And my love for life. And ive even met someone. Early days but life is great. Thankyou ladies for this much needed boost . I loved every second of it .

I think like most ladies I felt nervous but excited at the same time. From the initial phone call with Sharon, sitting with Sharon & Katie on the day with tears flowing, yes happy relieved tears this was going to be a fab few hours. I felt so at ease and enjoyed every second. You cannot get a better team than Sharon & Katie and appreciate their warmth and fun! Do not have doubts ladies, you will enjoy and the whole experience will make you feel so confident and wonderful. Do it! Lindsay xx

I saw Sharon’s call for 50 over 50’s women to participate in her breast cancer fundraising. Well I’d just turned 60 so thought I was pushing it a little! Sharon’s approach is spot on for reassuring those of us who don’t like fuss or being photographed or who lack self confidence and don’t give time to self care. Her commentary spoke directly to me. I needed some me time, an escape from the daily reality of my life at the moment and a confidence boost to help me face an uncertain future. And boy did they deliver! ‘They’ are Sharon and her fantastic colleague Katie who is an absolute wizard with hair and make-up. After the initial selection of outfits (4) from the offering that I had taken with me and the shyness of appearing in my first one the time flew, the shyness evaporated, the fun and the magic took over. Not once did I feel embarrassed, uncomfortable or daft, in fact I felt amazing. The return visit to see my photos was eagerly awaited but what a hard time it was to whittle down so many fabulous images to a number that I eventually opted for. The same evening I had a digital version of the ones I’d chosen and I’ve looked at them everyday since, I still marvel at the fact that they are me, that I look good and I finally, really like some pictures of me. When my printed pictures arrive they won’t be for display on the coffee table! But they are for me to savour and to choose which special people I decide to share them with. Thank you Sharon and Katie you are truly masters of your artistry. I would highly recommend this experience to any and all women who are even remotely considering this.

I have just received my photos after my photo shoot and I am so impressed. Sharon and Katie were brilliant on the day of the shoot. Put me at my ease and made the session fun. My confidence was sky high when I left them. Can’t thank Sharon enough. She has a magical quality that translates into all stages of the process from initial exploratory phone call all the way through to delivering and helping choose the photos. Still can’t believe I did it!!

Well, what can I say? I seen that advert on Facebook and thought I’d just fill all my details in and just see what happens. Never thought anything would come of it., literally it was in the couple of days. Sharon rang me what a wonderful lady to talk to. We had a good chat about shoot and the charity event she never missed a detailed out 💯 honest, I booked my day of the shoot super nervous got every excuse in my head possible to cancel. I stood on her doorstep rang the bell and what delightful welcoming I received , I met Sharon who is the photographer and Katie who does the hair make up and helps out with all the props , they made me feel so confident in my own body. I felt so comfortable and reassured that I looked amazing. The day was absolutely incredible we chatted we laughed. giggled. never ever dreamt that I would do something like this and I am so pleased that I did the confidence it gave me after the shoot was immense. The day came to view my photos oh my goodness me didn’t I look truly amazing, and I would never say that about myself, I didn’t even say that on my wedding day, there was no way that I wasn’t going to purchase any , I did a few and I can’t wait for them to come, I took one photo home and showed my family and they astounded on how beautiful I could actually be, even the husband was rather shocked . So what I’m saying is go for it you’ve got nothing to lose. It is one of the most incredible experience , who wouldn’t want to look naturally glamorous beautiful and knowing your confidence is on such a high, where is probably been hidden away for whatever reason and now it’s not xx
