Fearless

Aimee set the studio on fire

Every now and then, someone walks into the studio who may be hesitant about what they are about to do. They have a whole collection of stories about who they think they are, but more importantly, who they think they aren’t. A boudoir photoshoot has a way of rewriting those stories, and Aimee’s transformation is a perfect example of what happens when a woman shows up for herself, exactly as she is.

She booked her session because someone in her life convinced her to give it a try, to do something for herself. What she didn’t realise was that she was about to meet the version of herself she hadn’t seen in years.

“What an amazing thing to do for yourself (and also your partner – mine very much liked the results!). I felt like I was walking on air for ages after seeing my photos – such a confidence boost and the whole thing was incredibly empowering.”

The feeling of floating out of the studio is what happens when you finally see yourself without the filters of self-criticism or comparison. A boudoir photoshoot doesn’t just capture how you look. It reflects how powerful you truly are.

I honestly wish every woman would do this experience – from start to finish it was unforgettable and I now have photos of myself that I can look back on in 20 years and say:

Daaaamn I was smokin!

Like many of our guests, Aimee used her boudoir photoshoot as a rare moment for herself.

“It gave me a chance to focus on myself for a sec. Having done the experience, I know you don’t need to get your hair and make up done, or buy anything new…but I did some of it anyway. I bought some new lingerie and got my make up done before going…even just doing that felt like a bit of much needed pampering.”

That small act of self-care was part of her transformation. It wasn’t about performing for the camera. It was about reconnecting with herself.

Almost every single woman walks in and worries about “those bits”, the parts she would prefer the camera didn’t see.

“When I got there I was pretty nervous. I didn’t want them focusing on the bits of my body that I was insecure about… but I needn’t have worried!”

This is why the first few minutes of the boudoir photoshoot matter so much. You’re greeted by an all-female team who get it. Women who understand the inner dialogue, the self-doubt, the self-consciousness. We can be our harshest critics.

“Within minutes, I met my photographer Marta and was so happy – she put me instantly at ease and even became my very own hype-girl!”

Your boudoir photoshoot will be fully guided by our expert photographers, who know every breath, every angle, and every expression, so you feel supported the whole time. 

“She proposed starting off with some pretty simple poses, which she guided me through effortlessly, and then we were off!”

Once you start to relax, the time literally disappears.

“By the time the shoot was finished 90 minutes later it felt like just a few minutes had gone by but I also felt like I had experienced ‘a day in the life of a model’.”

I have NEVER seen myself look that good in photos before

The design session was phenomenal. It was actually pretty emotional – I have NEVER seen myself look that good in photos before. I thought I was completely unphotogenic, but I was wrong! The photos I was shown really highlighted areas of my body that I felt more confident about.

“My advice? Don’t wait until you’re skinny enough, don’t wait until you’re feeling better about yourself enough, don’t wait for things to be perfect enough. Do it now because this experience will make you feel MORE than enough.”

Aimee walked into the studio nervous.

She walked out unstoppable. 

And you can too!
