Tracey’s photos remind her that she is confident and strong

Tracey found herself back on the dating scene at 54 and was looking for a body confidence boost when she booked her boudoir photoshoot with us. Yet by the time her photoshoot happened, it had an even greater significance. As she now bravely embarks on her cancer treatment; Tracey’s photos have become a reminder that she is beautiful, confident and strong!

After losing my husband of 32 years, I found myself back on the dating scene at 54. Very scary! Who would want to look at a body that has gone through cancer and is beginning to show signs of 'wear and tear' in all the wrong places?

Foxlow jumped out at me on Facebook as all the photos showed the ladies to be happy, at ease and all looked to be loving every minute, I was sold! I didn't waste much time, I took them up on a special offer and booked my photoshoot.

It came at just the right time; it was around my 55th birthday and marked what I thought would be the end of 10 years of heartache and struggle.

Just thinking about the shoot gave me butterflies, but I was so excited. I watched a video Danielle shared in their Facebook group about preparing for a photoshoot and what to wear. I found it really helpful and it made me think a little more outside the box, then it was off to the internet for some shopping.

When the day of my shoot finally arrived, I thought I would be nervous but I wasn't! I was looking forward to wearing all the fabulous underwear I'd bought and I'd never had my make up done before, so this was going to be a real treat. I wasn't disappointed!

From the moment I walked into the studio, until the final photo was taken, I never stopped smiling. I would happily do it all over again.

When I returned for my viewing a week later, I remember sitting there watching the slideshow thinking “Is this really me?”. The photos were truly amazing. I knew that choosing my order was going to be really difficult! Each photograph had earned its place, how was I going to whittle it down?! With Jon's patience we got there in the end and I can’t wait to see my finished album and prints.

I have a tough few months ahead of me with cancer returning and going back into treatment. I know that those prints adorning my bedroom wall will remind me that I am beautiful, confident and strong.
