I had really started to hate my body and I couldn't see what my partner could see. I wanted to be able to love me how he does. I wanted to show him I could still be sexy even if I hated my body.

I hated my body. I couldn't look at myself with underwear on, let alone naked. I hated what the mirror showed me because it wasn't what I looked like 10 years ago.  My partner however, looked at me like I was the sexiest, most feminine, beautiful goddess in the world. I hated that I couldn't see what he did, all I could see were scars, stretch marks and cellulite. All the lumps and bumps you shouldn't have as a woman. I thought to myself, get photos taken, that way he can see your body when you don't want him to. 

 The morning of the shoot arrived and the nerves were very much present. I met Kate and bit by bit the nerves melted away. I then met the wonderful Glam Squad, Jo and Rachel and the nerves continued to melt away. There is nothing quite like a cuppa and bonding over your love for Tori Amos! As somewhat of a 'Tom Boy' I wasn't sure what makeup look I wanted, but Jo certainly has a fountain of knowledge and helped me. I said to Rachel that my hair never does as it's told. Cue Rachel creating the most stunning goddess curls, that stayed for 24 hours! Something my hair has never done. 

 I started to think that I looked beautiful, Jo's stunning makeup made me look like me, not someone else, which I was afraid of. The look was complete and me and my Goddess curls got to work with Kate and her camera. Kate never, for one second, made me feel uncomfortable or like an alien in my own body. She helped me through every tiny detail of how I should position myself. 

 As the shoot went on, I became more comfortable with my own body and really loved the whole day experience. I enjoyed myself so much. I felt so confident and sexy afterwards, I had this glow about me, that even my partner could see. I am finding it so hard to keep it all a secret till Christmas. He's getting the most sexiest, fine art photos of me and I can't wait to see his reaction!

 This isn't just getting some pics taken for the gram. This is an experience to love yourself all over again. This is an experience to finally allow yourself to say you're sexy no matter what. This is an experience for anybody and ANY BODY. This is an experience for women by women. This is an experience like no other and should never be missed.
