Boudoir stories, photos, inspiration & advice.
Barbara gained body confidence in the studio a year ago and isn’t looking back
It’s now a year since Barbara overcame her fear of the camera with us at the studio, so we thought it would be wonderful to look back on her experience. It was amazing to see her confidence grow during her time with us and her beautiful photos have been complimented so many times since her shoot. I hope she never forgets she’s the beautiful woman we all see everyday!
Tracey’s photos remind her that she is confident and strong
Tracey found herself back on the dating scene at 54 and was looking for a body confidence boost when she booked her boudoir photoshoot with us. Yet by the time her photoshoot happened, it had an even greater significance. As she now bravely embarks on her cancer treatment; Tracey’s photos have become a reminder that she is beautiful, confident and strong!
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. Despite her fears, she found the courage to book a boudoir photoshoot with us and totally embraced the whole process. Following our style guidance and rocking every pose in the studio! 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.
