Hope proved you can rock a boudoir photoshoot - no matter how nervous you are.

Hope had little body confidence and really struggled with her anxiety before her photoshoot. She was so scared when she arrived at the studio, but actually enjoyed the experienced and was overwhelmed by how much she loved her photos! I hope this is the beginning of a new relationship with her body and herself.

"I'm someone who doesn't have much confidence within my own body and I have pretty much been single my whole life. I've never been in a proper relationship, so I've never shown my body off or even experimented with lingerie.

I first saw Foxlow Photography on TikTok. I loved watching their videos and seeing people of all different shapes and sizes getting confidence with their body, and their photos looked amazing.

After a good few months of convincing myself to do it, I finally booked myself in for a photoshoot for my upcoming birthday. I was given amazing information about where to stay locally, where to get lingerie from and what things I should bring to my photoshoot. I messaged Danielle for advice on where to look because I didn't know what I liked. With Danielle's know-how, I managed to order things I liked which fitted my size and I felt confident in. 

The day before my photoshoot and on the day itself, I had major anxiety to the point where I had four panic attacks. I just felt sick because of how I feel about my body and having to come out of my comfort zone. Danielle and Jon were really supportive and helped me with my anxiety.

We sat down to talk and they made me a drink, then they explained everything to me which really helped me understand what we needed to do. They were really patient with me. When I was getting my hair and makeup done, we just talked about random things and that helped calm my nerves down. It was nice being pampered because I don't often get the opportunity.

I'm now coming to the scary part of putting my outfits on and starting the photoshoot. It was very nerve-racking (I was on the verge of vomiting) but I had a lot of support which helped with my anxiety. We took things nice and slow, and they explained everything as we went along. Once I did the first couple of photos, I relaxed and enjoyed the experience. It was just amazing. 

I got really overwhelmed when looking at the photos, I'd never seen myself like that before! I found that I liked the lot, far more photos than I thought I would, and I definitely gained more confidence. I must admit it was bloody amazing.

For anyone that's thinking about doing this photoshoot, do it! It's so worth it because you gain so much confidence. It is scary, but once you've done the first couple of photos, you relax and you just rock the photoshoot - no matter how nervous you are." Hope
