You are Beautiful xxx

Women, we are gorgeous, we are curvy and luscious and pretty and strong but how often do we try and convince ourselves that this is not the case? How many times do we worry about our wobbly bits, crinkles and creases and what we think we see in the mirror? I have so many women putting off photoshoots until they have lost a certain amount of weight, or say that they are not brave enough, or pretty enough, or photogenic, they even struggle to be on family photographs which is something I think they will look back on in years to come and be a little sad.


 I am going to reveal a secret now - you will never feel you are pretty enough, you will never feel that you have lost the right amount of weight........ there will never be the 'right ' time to have a photoshoot - but you are gorgeous, and sometimes you may need a little time out, some pampering and attention , just to help you to realise this - and this is where I come in!



Recently I went to  ASPIRE , a fabulous photographic training centre in Cumbria to learn more about Boudoir photography from the very lovely and talented Kate Hopewell - Smith. I already love to photograph women and these 2 lovely ladies came to me recently for a shoot





But I wanted to offer my lovely ladies more..... more pampering.....more loveliness...and thats why I wanted to explore Boudoir photography. I want to show you the images that I took on the day - I want to tell you that these are 'real' girls - not models - they had hang ups, they were nervous and they loved it.













So - tell me what you think - is this something you would love to do? Are you getting married and would like a lovely little album to give to your husband on your Wedding Day, are you celebrating something - or would you just like to have some time out and look and feel even more amazing than usual?

If so I would love to hear from you and would certainly love to start planning your photoshoot.

Jo, as always these are fantastic photos.
I really don't know why those ladies were worried, they look fabulous.

I love the colours used for the girl in black by the window and the girl on the bed with pearls underneath! x

Woo Hoo. Fantastic Jo. You did me proud and I hope that women realise what a powerful thing this is and how fantastic you will make them feel. Kate

These are brilliant, Jo... but then you already worked your magic for me so I know I'm biased. I would recommend it to anyone!
