Samara’s Boudoir Diary
I could really do with a boost
Last month me and my partner of 3 years broke up and I could really do with getting my confidence back. I follow Foxlow on Facebook and I love seeing all their pictures from other photoshoots, the ladies all look so beautiful. I would love to give it a go.
How do I really feel about this?
Today I volunteered to book a photoshoot as part of Foxlow’s Boudoir Diaries project and I suddenly found myself nervously thinking “What if I do get picked?”. Then I sort of pushed it to the back of my head thinking “Oh it won’t be me” but I still found myself constantly checking my phone to see if I had been picked.
Today I booked my photoshoot
Now I've booked an appointment I feel full of energy and can’t wait for my photoshoot, but I’m also nervous as I have no clue what I'm doing. I shall read though their email and style guide in the hope that helps me.
Time for a shopping spree!
I went shopping today for a few bits in Mansfield. The woman in Ann Summers was extremely helpful and I must have tried about different 20 things on, but together we picked the ones that suited me the best. I'm so excited! She said I looked like Betty Page (a pin up girl) which was a huge confidence boost and I've promised her I will nip in after the shoot to show her some of the prints.
I’m having a last minute panic
I don’t know why, but today I've gotten extremely nervous about Tuesday. I'm sure I will be fine on the day, but I keep thinking I will look ridiculous in my underwear. I was packing a few bits, trying them on and sending pictures to a friend and it made me panic! But my friend has reassured me I will be fine. Her friend did a shoot with Foxlow before and she said the photos were amazing! She said I'm in great hands which has put me at ease.
Wow! What a day
The shoot really made me feel amazing; from the minute you walk in the door it's all about you. Charlotte made me look fabulous doing my hair and make up, using the colours of my lingerie to guide what make up I should go for.
Danielle and Jon just make me feel so calm, directing me through the poses and helping me choose which lingerie sets I should use. They were making me laugh constantly, whilst making me feel fabulous. I wished the day didn't have to end! I left feeling on top of the world and with a bit more sass. Can’t wait to see my pictures on Saturday.
Today I got to see my photos and fell in love
My shoot was the best experience ever and today I arrived back at the studio buzzing, so excited to see my photos for the first time. I’m surprised to say that, if anything, today was even more amazing than my shoot! I never thought I would look this good. I'm never going to put myself down for the way I look ever again.
It’s time to bring my photos home
It was so exciting to pick up my photos today, it only feels like yesterday I was there picking which ones I wanted. I thanked Jon and Danielle for the lovely photos and told them I can’t wait to frame some on my wall. Hopefully I will book another photoshoot soon. I’m already starting to think of new ideas.
