Boudoir stories, photos, inspiration & advice.
Beth faced her fear of showing her stoma bag & found a new confidence
When clients arrange a photoshoot with us in their twenties it’s usually because they’ve been through a lot early in life, and Beth is no exception. At the age of just 22, she’s fought a life-threatening illness which left her with a stoma bag and is trying to regain control of her life and confidence in her body. Her beautiful photos stand as a permanent reminder of who she is, what she’s overcome and everything she can achieve. We’re so proud!
Gem finally learnt to love herself and her body
Gem’s body confidence had been up and down over the years and hateful comments she’d experienced had fed her insecurities.

When she saw the photos we’d created together, she became very emotional… She finally saw that she is beautiful and learnt to love herself and her body.
Age is Just a Number!
We’ve photographed ladies from their twenties to their seventies and I think it’s fascinating how many ladies say that their self esteem and body image has grown over time. Yet for every woman who tells us they found their inner confidence later in life, another client says they’re too old to be sexy or they’ve lost their body confidence. So we turned to our clients aka The Vixens to ask how their confidence has changed over the years and what age means to them.
