Gill rediscovered her body confidence at 65

Client Stories

10 Mar

Gill needed to feel good about herself again after being let down by people in her life and struggling with her body confidence as she got older. It was wonderful to see her re-discover her ‘girl power’ in the studio and to finally love photos of herself. Age is just a number!

I came across Foxlow Photography on Instagram and loved what I saw! The mood of the place, the lighting and the flattering poses.

I had been wanting some photos done mainly to help me feel good about myself and because I was getting older, just turning 65. It didn’t help that my husband is really useless at taking photos, which made me feel bad about myself in the past. I’d also been badly let down by two people in my life and needed a boost to regain my Girl Power!

I didn’t hesitate in booking my photoshoot, and delved straight into the world of lingerie. I was very uncertain about what would look good on me, but I started shopping and found some outfits I liked.

Yet as the appointment grew nearer, I really did hesitate and consider cancelling - feeling a bit silly doing this ‘at my age’. However, when the day arrived I set off to stay at a hotel nearby, and had a lovely drive which I always find relaxing.

Once at the studio, it was a pleasure to meet the Foxlow Team. I was very nervous and shut down a bit, just doing as was recommended by everyone and trusting it all to a skilled team. The session was quite surreal and there was quite a mystical atmosphere, in this gorgeous old building with the stone walls.

In a way, I wish I could have been more spontaneous, but Danielle and Jon gave expert guidance and were so friendly. I couldn’t quite believe I was walking around in skimpies in front of strangers! I am very self conscious if I go to a spa with the girls, and about the parts of my body I am particularly uncomfortable with.

My next fear was that I wouldn’t like myself in the photos! However, with the mood of the room, the lighting, Danielle’s guidance with poses and Jon’s skilled photography, I couldn’t believe what I saw and loved!

I chose my favourite photos to be printed and mounted, and I presented them to my husband in their special box after I had made dinner one night soon after.

Until that moment, he had believed I was away overnight on a networking meeting; he was so surprised and loved the photographs. He asked me if I had been doing some modelling!!!
