Sarah’s confidence and mental health were knocked severely by an unforeseen series of health issues: her body changed, her self image was compromised, and her husband cheated. It was her amazing family and friends who got her through such a dark time, and with the encouragement of her new boyfriend she finally decided to book a boudoir photoshoot to rediscover her confidence and celebrate all that she’s overcome. She can now embrace her life and her body proudly!

I used to be a really confident and petite woman, even into my early thirties, then due to unforeseen circumstances I had a hysterectomy and I gained a little weight which got me down. I then got diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and now Fibromyalgia - I felt like my body was giving up on me.

Work were being fantastic and supportive, as were friends and family, but the weight piled on from the steroids which made me feel super down and ugly. Finally my husband cheated and I thought “that’s it”.

I saw a few posts on TikTok of the boudoir shoots at Foxlow. Danielle and Jon looked super friendly and all the women were gorgeous and all different sizes. I really wanted to have a shoot like that too, but was indecisive and nervous.

I then had a massive breakdown and wanted to end it all. Thanks to friends and family who dragged me kicking and screaming, I got back to a semi-version of me again and I then started dating my gorgeous boyfriend who really helped my confidence too. I told him about the boudoir shoots and he said “You are gorgeous, do it for you and make yourself proud” which gave me the courage to book the shoot at last.

I chose Foxlow as I had seen so may TikToks of them. I trusted them for each step of the process, and the location is amazing. Danielle from the start was amazing, informative, kind and very helpful. She really is the Fairy Godmother of lingerie and boudoir!

My boyfriend and friends were my cheerleaders, so to speak, and when I got there I was surprised I was not nervous but excited! I met Danielle and Charlotte to discuss the outfits and what I wanted. We had a laugh and it made me feel more confident and comfortable already. Then onto makeup and hair - Charlotte is amazing! She really listened to what I wanted and did a stunning job.

Before long I was sipping bubbly while I spoke with Jon about the shots and positions. Danielle had hung my outfits up and placed shoes in the changing area and was in hand to help as all times. Each pose is easily explained and shown by Jon or Danielle, and before you know it you’re done. It was an amazing experience and I will 100 percent do it again!

The next day I came back to see the photos and I could not believe it... I kept asking “Are you sure that’s me?” and honestly found it hard to choose my pictures, but I had one book made for me and a second copy for my rock, Geoff.

It is a super boosting experience and I cannot thank Danielle, Jon and Charlotte enough! You are all amazing, thank you.

I have seen myself in a different light since the shoot. Yes, I have had hard times, but I am me. I now embrace my life and my body, and I have become much more confident in wearing lingerie and figure-hugging clothes. I’m proud to be me and not hide my body anymore.

So don’t think about - just book your shoot and enjoy your day. You deserve it!
