Transgender Day of Visibility: Joanne’s story
Like so many of our clients, Joanne came to us to see herself as others do. She didn’t always see the beautiful woman that we see in these here, but now her photos have become a constant reminder of who she is.
Rachel found her inner power to be comfortable in her own skin
Rachel had really lost her body confidence after becoming a mum and then going through a difficult divorce. It was actually our clients sharing their stories on TikTok inspired her to book a shoot and it’s so wonderful to see her sharing her experience too.

Tracey’s photoshoot transformed her from artist to model for the day
It's always a special honour when a fellow artist books a boudoir photoshoot with us, and Tracey’s photoshoot was no exception. She prides herself in celebrating the beauty of the women she paints, but often struggled to see that in herself.
Sarah finally learned to be happy with herself as she is
Despite the support and encouragement of her loving husband, Sarah struggled with her image, self confidence and weight all her life. It’s hard to believe that this gorgeous, confident-looking woman has felt self-conscious, judged and anxious and her appearance for so many years.
Kerri’s photoshoot was a big step towards learning to love herself
Kerri was so nervous before her boudoir photoshoot that she nearly cancelled 3 times! Yet she loved the whole experience, from the makeup and hairstyling to her luxury photo album. She normally dreads seeing photos of herself and gets into her head criticising herself, so it was a really emotional moment when she saw her photos and finally saw how beautiful she is! Just a week after her photoshoot she says she's starting to believe in herself and love herself more. She knows that learning to love yourself isn't always easy, but if she has a bad day she can look through her album and remember how beautiful she is.
Wendy felt like a star and was empowered by her experience
Like so many mums, Wendy gave all her energy to her family, her friends, her work and her menagerie of animals! She didn’t prioritise herself which knocked her confidence and body image.
She was so nervous before her photoshoot but turned to us for advice and support, then really enjoyed her time at the studio. She totally surprised herself when she saw the photos! I hope she never doubts herself again.
Beth faced her fear of showing her stoma bag & found a new confidence
When clients arrange a photoshoot with us in their twenties it’s usually because they’ve been through a lot early in life, and Beth is no exception. At the age of just 22, she’s fought a life-threatening illness which left her with a stoma bag and is trying to regain control of her life and confidence in her body. Her beautiful photos stand as a permanent reminder of who she is, what she’s overcome and everything she can achieve. We’re so proud!
Gem finally learnt to love herself and her body
Gem’s body confidence had been up and down over the years and hateful comments she’d experienced had fed her insecurities. Despite her fears, she found the courage to book a boudoir photoshoot with us and totally embraced the whole process. Following our style guidance and rocking every pose in the studio! When she saw the photos we’d created together, she became very emotional… She finally saw that she is beautiful and learnt to love herself and her body.
Age is Just a Number!
We’ve photographed ladies from their twenties to their seventies and I think it’s fascinating how many ladies say that their self esteem and body image has grown over time. Yet for every woman who tells us they found their inner confidence later in life, another client says they’re too old to be sexy or they’ve lost their body confidence. So we turned to our clients aka The Vixens to ask how their confidence has changed over the years and what age means to them.
Teresa’s photoshoot changed how she sees herself and marks a new beginning
Teresa’s self esteem and body image had been torn down by her ex-husband; she saw herself as “fat and ugly” for many years and simply couldn’t believe her boyfriend or friends when they told her she was beautiful.
Angie not only found confidence in herself, but also found love
One year on, Angie looks back at her boudoir experience at Foxlow. So much has changed in 14 months! She’s seen beyond her insecurities, embraced her femininity and fallen in love with a wonderful man. It’s hard to believe this incredible woman ever doubted herself or her beauty.
Carol rediscovered the confidence she had lost following her marriage breakdown
Carol’s marriage breakdown had really knocked her body image and self esteem, and she didn’t believe that she could find the confidence to capture glamorous photos like the boudoir images she admired on social media.
