I went for a boudoir shoot after winning a give away on Instagram, and what a lovely experience it was.when i first arrived, i was offered a variety of beverages and taken to the hair and makeup room. the lovely lady did my makeup, complimenting all my features and my hair too, we had a bit of a laugh when i noticed my hair was not behaving, but she ended up making me look lovely!!! very professional with lots of experience! The process was explained to me very thoroughly and i was taken to the shoot room with another drink kindly offered. off to the side of the room was a private changing room, i had brough a few different outfits however had no shoes so i was kindly lent a pair of heels and an oversized shirt for one of the looks! once i was ready i went out to the studio and they took the time to position me just right and direct me, very helpful as i was quite nervous and it took all the pressure away! i felt very glam and i enjoyed every aspect of the shoot.Afterwards i got dressed and was led to a sofa to wait whilst the photos were downloaded onto the system and then into a comfortable, very nice viewing room. i was shown the photographs and was so pleased, i still felt a bit self critical, so Stuart gave me a good talking to and some good advice which made me feel much better about myself again and i felt very empowered and confidant. He then took his time going through the images with me and helped me chose what i wanted to take home with me, he was very patient with me as well which was greatly appreciated! My financial aspect was also listened to as a student who works part time as well and there was 0 pressure from anyone to be able to afford anything that was out of my range.The team didn't know this, until after the shoot, but i had a really bad week the week before were at one point, i had a serious mental health crisis in which i was no longer going to be around, and in recovering from that event, this came at a fitting time, a real pick me up and confidence boost.I know that Stuart and his team know about the impact that they make for individuals, but this truly meant the world to me, being able to see myself from another perspective and feel empowered and positive about myself, for the first real time in a while.After this, the studio was closing and Stuart kindly offered to take me to the train station, which was above and beyond any services you could imagine, to catch a train back to Nottingham.the biggest thankyou to Stuart - and his team, you have made a positive impact on me and thankyou very much for this opportunity to experience something i otherwise wouldn't have.
