It only took me 15 years to built up my courage to do this! I wish I had done it earlier because the experience is truly unique, empowering and left me with a new appreciation for my 63 year old life-battle worn body! But the team at My Beautiful Boudoir made me feel comfortable and relaxed, from start to finish, and forget quickly all the barriers that existed in my head. The studio is conveniently located a short walk from Leicester station and easy to find. It is a beautiful open space with sections for different scenes, a changing room and toilet (no need for searching for one on the way! (Like at M&S). My make up was stunning and complete with false eyelashes made me look and feel like a film star – thank you Dee, you are so talented! Michael discussed with me what type of photos and style I wanted to achieve and helped me with the order of changes and talked me through the entire process. Getting me posing in various ways was fun and Michael knew how to make me feel relaxed but also pushed me a bit beyond my limits. He is very enthusiastic and professional, and clearly enjoys achieving the best results with fun and in a relaxed style. It never felt forced or too much, however I now have a new appreciation for model’s and photographer’s jobs! Michael can make anyone look and feel fantastic from behind the camera! I highly recommend him and My Beautiful Boudoir! I think anyone and particularly us older people should take this unique chance to see ourselves in a new and surprisingly beautiful way! And let’s face it we all get older and find it harder to like our bodies, but here is a unique opportunity to see and feel confident in our bodies with the help of this super team. The photos themselves were already at the raw stage stunning and Michael showed me some during the session which really was a boost! But we were so happy with the final retouched photos which were my gift to my husband for our wedding anniversary. We particularly liked the body art shots – absolutely amazing! They blew us away and never in my dreams would I have imagined that it could be me in those photos! So if anyone reads this and is still hesitant – don’t wait, do it now, you won’t regret it but benefit from it in so many ways!
