The Best Ever Before and After...

This just HAS to be posted and shared! Maz is one of the nicest most beautiful people in our community and nobody deserved a glamour shoot like she does! I haven't done many before and afters, most so I haven't posted any, but Maz was just one of those WOW clients who's image has amazed everyone.

I really had a great time shooting you Maz and I am sure to see you behind my camera again in the future xx

Here is that amazing image on its own...

What I do and why I do it

Are you feeling like you have completely lost yourself?

Have you just had a baby?

Have you been married for 50 years?

Do you want to feel the love from your husband again rather than being the woman who nags at him? Do you want to reclaim your title as the loving wife?

Do you want to rediscover yourself? Who were you before children or marriage or sickness or any other major life changing events that make you doubt who you are, why you are here and have made you feel that you are not beautiful and not worthy of love and affection.

Do you want to be happy?

Do you want to feel beautiful? Do you want to feel like the most beautiful person on earth to your husband? Especially to your husband.

Do you want to set an example of self-confidence and pride for your children?

Do you want to show the world who you really are? Not who they think you are.

This was me. And I’m pretty sure it’s you too. I can tell you first hand.. It sux. You feel like the world has let you down, you are in unimaginable pain, sometimes both emotionally and physically. You really do feel like you are all alone. Well you’re not. I am here to tell you that you’re not.

We are all beautiful inside and out and I thrive on showing you lovely ladies the beauty that is already there in your soul. I want to see that beauty in your eyes. I want to capture that beauty and show you that the old, fun, loving you is still there and that you are not alone.

Children do not suck out your soul contrary to everyone’s belief. You are there! You really are and I want to show you this! And why not have a bit of pampering and champagne to go with it! You deserve it!

You are a strong confident woman! As am I. It took me a very long time to realize this. I want you to realize it too. It is like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I am no longer a “I want” person, I am a “I will” person.

My only goal in my profession is to bring out your beauty, confidence and sass and give it to you to hold, to hang on your wall and to look at every day and say to yourself.. “wow, that’s me!” Trust me, It will put a smile on your face every single time you look at it.

Body issues and insecurities? Me too! Doesn’t mean I don’t love myself. It means that I am simply human. If you don’t like your toes, I am not going to do a close up of your feet! Because I know you will not like it. Instead I will focus on your soft beautiful hands or eyes that you tell me your husband commented on when you first met.

This is my promise to you.
