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 Im 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

I loved my photo shoot. I couldnt 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 its a pricey treat, but it was worth every penny. I cannot wait to see my heirloom box, which is arriving tomorrow. Im going to sit with a glass of wine, admiring myself, because I can! I would highly recommend booking ladies, you wont regret it!

I booked my photoshoot to try and give myself a much needed confidence boost after a really rough year through one reason or another, the main one being an undiagnosed health problem that has completely taken away my independence. Sharon and Katie made me feel so welcome and most importantly comfortable, that I instantly felt like me again. I have struggled with very negative body image from being very young (being a curvier girl) and was very dubious about the picture choosing evening.
I was convinced I was going to come away with maybe 1 picture. I have never had such a hard decision as narrowing down my selection of pictures. Sharon's work is symply stunning. I left her house feeling sexy, confident, womanly and most importantly, beautiful. For the first time in my life. And that, to me, is priceless. I would recommend any woman thinking about doing one of these experiences, to stop thinking and just do it!

From start to finish Sharon is amazing. Fantastic communication, step by step guide of what to do etc from outfits, to poses to what's works best for the end product When you arrive Sharon and Katie make you feel so comfortable and at ease that you forget your inhibitions and enjoy the whole thing.

Boudoir is set in a beautiful quiet Lincolnshire village. The owner Sharon Mallinson is an expert in her field of photography. After a sitting with the Sharon and make up artist Katie Calo at Simply Boudoir approximately 2 weeks ago, I was overwhelmed with the end photographs. Sharon knows her stuff! Both Sharon & Katie are professionals. They're both understanding, welcoming & friendly. I can highly recommend Simply Boudoir and if this is something you ladies are considering, please speak to Sharon. Katie will make you feel million dollars and Sharon will show you your worth!

Sharon and Katie (hair and makeup) are amazing. They are kind, funny and listen to what you want to achieve. They put you ease instantly and if you have any body concerns, Sharon will pose you so these are hidden and skimmed over. You will look and feel absolutely fabulous. Can't recommend them enough. There are several photo packages to suit every budget, so you will always find something that works for you. Absolutely fantastic day.

Excellent communication throughout from start to finish. Advising on how to prepare, to guiding through the day, to viewing pictures. Sharon and Katie made me feel totally at ease and I was not disappointed with the final pictures, a tasteful, flattering shoot. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is seeking to rediscover themselves again through the lens of a camera. What an empowering experience. Thank you.

Due to an accident I had to cancel at very short notice. I have to say nothing was too much trouble to get me rescheduled. I can't wait for my turn and already feel very confident about how professional Symply Boudoir is.

Welcoming, friendly people. By the time you have had your hair and makeup done both Sharron and Katie feel like friends by the end of the shoot they are like family. Do yourself a favour and book a session.

Booking a visit to Symply Boudoir was a great experience. For a few hours you are made to feel beautiful and pampered. My self esteem had taken a beating following my marriage break up and this session was like a form of therapy, helping me to heal and move on.

Sharon was amazing. She has a natural way of making you feel at ease. Make up and hair were fabulous and Katie did a fantastic job with me. I felt comfortable very quickly. Sharon is such a professional and it was nice to look and feel so good without feeling conscious. I had a really enjoyable evening. To sum up. Liberated. Empowered.

Arrived and felt quite nervous but was out as ease right away. We chatted about what pictures I was after, what outfits I had brought with me then Katie worked her magic with my hair and make up. When I saw myself in the mirror I could not belive how beautiful I looked. I was excited, nervous and unsure when I got changed but wow why did I worry I felt so stunning and looked at a couple of my pictures and that was that nerves had gone and it was fun, fun, fun,.
The photos look amazing I managed to get it down to 20 which was a big challenge because they where all stunning. Ordered a canvas which came in less than a week and it is really stunning. I can't recommend these ladies enough don't keep putting it of do it it is amazing and gives you such confidence in yourself. I can't thank you enough ladies would love to do it again.

Wow - what an incredible experience! I was absolutely terrified about going for the Boudoir photo shoot, but Sharon and Katie made me feel relaxed from the moment I arrived. I was hoping to have one or two 'half decent' photos from the experience, I was not expecting the number of stunning/incredible/amazing photos Sharon actually produced. To say I am delighted is a complete understatement! I cannot recommend Sharon highly enough.
The whole experience was fun, tasteful, classy, empowering and confidence boosting with a capital B!I thought it would be a once in a lifetime experience, now I'm not so sure think I could be seeing both of you wonderful ladies again some time in the future ;) Huge thank you to you both once again

Sharon is absolutely fantastic. Guided us through our wedding with the minimum of fuss and provided us with beautiful photos to remember the day. Highly recommended

Excellent service from the moment we made an enquiry through to the making of the album. Sharon made our wedding photography feel relaxed and enjoyable, rather than feeling rushed and forced. We had specific photos requested and Sharon made sure they were all fulfilled. We can look back at our photos in the future and remember what a fantastic day we had.

I've just got back home after viewing my photos from my Boudoir shoot a couple of weeks ago. I am a 'Returner' as this was my second time - all I can say is WOW! WOW! WOW! The experience was totally different to the first time, the look was different, and we had a Ball! It was fun, confidence-boosting, liberating and empowering!! I've always said every woman should have a Boudoir shoot, I retract that and say "Every woman should have at LEAST TWO!" Now planning my 3rd for my 65th birthday in just over 3 years! Thank you Sharon and Katie, you are two wonderful ladies who make ordinary people feel and look a million dollars!

We asked Sharon, Symply Photography to be our wedding photographer. From the initial meeting, her professionalism was apparent. On the big day she was absolutely amazing; patient with everyone, unobtrusive and yet still managed to get the most wonder photographs you could imagine. When we went to view them we were both in tears - she had captured the day so well it was like being there all over again.
The photographs are all so good we are struggling to find 50 for the album - we want at least 5 times that! She captured the day as we wanted it - relaxed, fun but romantic. We just can't thank her enough and would most definitely recommend her.
