Are You Ready to Fall in Love...With You?

 Let's Talk!

wondering if you're ready for a serious body confidence boost?

You are!

Especially if you don't feel ready.
If you're waiting for that moment when you look at yourself in the mirror and think "Wow, yes, someone should grab a camera. Immediately!".
Well, I've got bad news. That moment comes later.
You won’t see it until you show yourself it’s there.

What this session is (and isn't)

It is:
  • A chance to see yourself through someone else’s eyes - kindly, honestly, without judgement
  • A photo shoot where no one expects you to know what to do
  • A guided, supportive experience
  • Equal parts laughter, nerves, and “I can’t believe that’s me”
  • A space where being yourself is more than enough
It isn't:
  • A glow-up or makeover for someone else’s approval
  • A reward for shrinking, fixing, or changing yourself
  • About being performative or polished
  • Just for confident women (spoiler: they didn’t feel ready either)
  • Something you have to earn, wait for, or prove you’re “worthy” of

See What it Really Looks Like

Real Women. Real Stories.

It’s hard to explain what this is without showing you.
So here’s a glimpse. This is WomenVisible - The 50 project. Our magazine featuring portraits and stories of body confidence, giving visibility to women aged 50 and over.

They’re women who felt unsure. Unready. Not like “the kind of person who does something like this.” Until they did. And now? They’re visible. Not just to others - but to themselves.

What other women want you to know

We could go on about how powerful these sessions are.
But it’s probably better if you hear it from the people who’ve actually done one.

Mandy 

“Getting in contact was a moment of madness to be honest.
I've never felt so relaxed in my own skin as I did that day. 

I don't think I have ever felt as confident about the way I look as I do right now. I know now that I can look good. I never, ever dreamed I could look good.

It just makes you feel so proud of yourself, that you were actually that brave to do it and you've actually got something beautiful at the end of it. If I can do it, anyone can.”

"I've seen myself in a whole new light. I never thought I could look the way I do in these pictures and I would recommend anybody, anybody to do this.
It's incredible.

Come and meet the team and listen to what they have to say, they'll make you feel relaxed from the minute you come in the door, and just go with it.

Everything is done so professionally and I would definitely do it again."

who this is for

This might be for you if:

  • You avoid cameras because you don’t like how you look in photos
  • You’ve spent years putting everyone else first, and don’t recognise yourself anymore
  • You’re tired of waiting until you feel “ready” (whatever that even means)
  • Compliments make you uncomfortable
  • You’ve changed - through age, illness, life - and don’t know how to feel at home in your own body anymore
  • You want to do something brave for yourself, but the thought of it makes your stomach flip
  • You’ve never felt beautiful… but you’d like to see what other people see

What to Expect (Besides a Bit of Nerves)

The Chat

Before anything happens, we talk.
Properly. Not a sales pitch, a real conversation.
We’ll go through how it all works, what you’re worried about, what to wear, where to park, and what happens if you panic and want to run away (you won’t, but we’ve got you just in case).

The Prep

You’ll arrive at our West Oxfordshire studio, get settled, and let our stylist work their magic - your version of magic, not a makeover-by-numbers.
We’ve got tea. We’ve got bubbly. You’re in control of how you want to look - subtle, bold, natural, dramatic, whatever feels like you (or the version of you you want to meet again).

The Session

Think you’re awkward in front of a camera? You and everyone else.
That’s what we’re here for.
We’ll guide you through every pose, every detail, every moment - all you have to do is show up and let us handle the rest.

The Viewing

When you come back to see your photos, be prepared to wow yourself! This can get emotional, so we allow plenty of time for you to choose what you'd like from your session (and a bit extra, to revel in your own fabulousness).

The Guarantee

If you don’t love your images, we’ll refund your session fee.
No catches. No excuses.
(But honestly? That’s never happened.)

The Price

Just £199
Includes your consultation, full portrait experience, guided image viewing...and £100 credit to put towards your order.

Your Images
Individual portraits start at £169 - perfect if you just want one beautiful reminder of what you've done.
Most women choose one of our collections (which start from £899) that include digital files.

There's no pressure and nothing to choose or commit to until after you've seen your images.
