Jane was worried before her shoot that because she was a size 14 we wouldn't be able to make her look like the pictures in our galleries. We told her "but lots of the girls in the galleries are a size 14 too!" And we proved it when she had her shoot. Thank you to Jane for sharing her experience :o) xx
Why did you decide to do a boudoir photo shoot?
My 42nd birthday was looming and I felt that if I didn't do this now I never would. Selfishly perhaps I was doing this for myself, obviously my husband would benefit from the final results but with not a lot of body confidence I was hoping I would see myself differently.How right I was!! Having spent hours researching web sites I decided Mighty Aphrodite was definitely for me.
How did you feel before the shoot?
My excitement turned to nervous fear as the day of the shoot arrived, but within 10 minutes of sitting down with Leigh and Zena I felt so relaxed I was raring to go. Zena took me up to the studio to do my make up while Leigh and my husband chatted downstairs.
Leigh explained how the shoot would take place, the music went on and we began. Zena was in the studio checking the photos as Leigh took them. My worries about posing soon disappeared as Leigh told me exactly what to do, so it was a lot easier than I had expected. I had a chance to look at the photos as they were being taken - I couldn't believe it was me! When the time came to remove my underwear Leigh asked if I was happy to do it, if not it wouldn't have been a problem, but the nerves had gone and I was really enjoying the experience so I was happy to oblige! The time passed so quickly I couldn't believe how many pictures had been taken. Afterwards we went back down to the office where Leigh explained all about editing and showed us on one of my photos what he could do. Then the hard work of choosing begins!
How did you feel after the shoot?
I was on such a high when we left, my confidence had rocketed and when we looked at the photos I couldn't believe how much my pictures looked like the gallery photos on the website. Hubby was over the moon too and we spent ages deciding on which ones should go in the album.
I have shown the photos to more people than I thought I would and they have been totally impressed and a few have said having seen the photos they would very much consider having it done themselves. I think I must have looked at them every day since I got them! I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone, it's an amazing experience. If you're not sure about being totally naked then it's not a problem but I'm sure that once you're in the company of Leigh and Zena you will wonder what all the worry was for!
