MENOPAUSE PHOTOSHOOT FOR A CONFIDENCE BOOST

1. Boosting self-confidence: Menopause can be a time when women may feel less confident in their bodies due to changes in their appearance. A boudoir shoot can help women to feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies by showcasing their beauty and femininity in a tasteful and empowering way.

 

GREATER SELF LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE

2. Promoting self-love and acceptance: A menopause boudoir shoot can help women to appreciate their bodies and embrace their natural beauty. By highlighting their strengths and unique features, women can learn to love and accept themselves, which can lead to improved self-esteem and a more positive body image.

 

MENOPAUSE PHOTOSHOOT FOR REDUCING STRESS

3. Reducing stress: Menopause can be a stressful time, with many physical and emotional changes to navigate. A boudoir shoot can provide a fun and relaxed environment where women can focus on themselves and forget about the stresses of daily life. This can help to reduce stress levels and promote a sense of well-being. See more about stress and the menopause here.

 

 

A MENOPAUSE PHOTOSHOOT FOR ENHANCING YOUR RELATIONSHIP

4. Enhancing relationships: A boudoir shoot can also have positive effects on relationships, particularly intimate ones. By feeling more confident and comfortable in their bodies, women may be more inclined to be open and intimate with their partners, leading to stronger and more fulfilling relationships.

 

THE MENOPAUSE PHOTOSHOOT AND ENHANCING FEMININITY

5. Celebrating femininity: Menopause can be a time when women may feel less feminine due to changes in their bodies and hormones. A boudoir shoot can help women to celebrate their femininity and feel beautiful and sensual, which can be a powerful and affirming experience.

 

DOES A MENOPAUSE PHOTOSHOOT WORK?

 

Overall, a menopause photoshoot can be an empowering and transformative experience for women. Boudoir boosts self-confidence, promoting self-love and acceptance, reducing stress, enhancing relationships, and celebrating femininity, a boudoir shoot can provide important psychological benefits that can help women to navigate this stage of life with greater ease and positivity.

I booked a photoshoot as a 40th birthday present to myself and I’m so glad I did. Alex put me at ease right away, the studio was warm and private and stripping off, I felt empowered! I’m so so happy with my photos, I look so sexy! If you’re toying with the idea go for it! Thank you Alex
Just had my 2nd shoot with Alex at FYEO and had an amazing time, Alex is fabulous at directing you into beautiful poses and helping to choose outfits. A very comfortable and relaxing environment that instantly makes you forget you are naked/semi naked. I would recommend this experience to anyone a real confidence booster with fantastic images to look back at for years to come. I cannot wait to get mine printed and on the wall

Alex, made me feel at ease right from the start.Before we started we discussed my expectations, went through my outfits and what would look best on camera, we worked at a good pace and I felt comfortable talking with Alex the whole time!Knowing we were the only people in the building help me to relax even more. The actual studio is large and has everything necessary for a professional photo shoot, make up room, lighting, props & I particularly liked the silver platform which looks amazing in the photos. Alex guided me to do the most flattering and seductive boudoir poses which complimented my body. Her creativity & years of experience is evident. I felt like a real model that day and I'm overwhelmed with my photos....Awesome experience!

This was an amazing experience, I highly recommend it. Alex made me feel so comfortable and confident, she took her time and worked at my pace to direct me into the poses. What an absolute pleasure to work with.Looking at my photos I was shocked, I couldn't believe it was me. I didn't know I could be sexy. I fell in love with myself.Ladies do not hesitate to do this. It seems scary at first but by the end you will feel like a supermodel.
It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Alex, a talented female photographer who specializes in capturing the beauty and essence of women.Working with Alex was an incredible experience. She immediately put me at ease and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her attention to detail was impressive, and her ability to capture my natural beauty and femininity was truly remarkable.As a woman, it was so refreshing to work with a photographer who understands and celebrates the beauty of the female form. Alex has a unique talent for bringing out the best in her subjects, and her photographs truly showcase the strength and power of women.Not only is Alex a skilled photographer, but she is also a kind and empathetic person who truly cares about her clients. She takes the time to get to know her subjects, to understand their vision and goals, and to create a customized photography experience that exceeds all expectations.I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Alex and to have such beautiful, empowering photographs to cherish for a lifetime. I would highly recommend Alex to any woman who is looking for a photographer who will capture her beauty, strength, and spirit in a way that is both authentic and inspiring.Thank you Alex for a life changing experience!Daphne Diluce

Alexandra is amazing as a person and as a professional. Needless to say that she made my wife feel very comfortable and made the whole experience fun. The photos are on a WOW! level and we ended up struggling to choose photos as all of them were amazing.Just in one photoset my wife went through 6 different looks which was very exciting and left her with wanting more.The best part of this experience is not the photos that you will get (which would be enough on its own), but the confidence boost and newly found love and appreciation for your body.

I don't no where to start... absolutely amazing. When I first arrived I was so nervous and Alex made me feel so at ease from the start. I was shown exactly what to do.I'm really self conscious specially of my tummy but the photos were just incredible. I was so shocked and surprised i now loved how my body looked. If I'm having a day where I don't like my body I just look at my photos. Hubby loved them too we now have a canvas on our bedroom wall. I would definitely recommend to anyone to do a shoot with Alex it's a massive confidence boost and makes you feel amazing. Thanks Alex so much for making me get my confidence back and for making me feel amazing xxxx ❤️

Alex I must take a special moment to convey to you how grateful I am for the care and warmth you showed me from the start. I arrived at your Marlow studios with enormous trepidation as to what my 60th birthday present was letting myself into. My lovely husband facilitated this opportunity as a special birthday present with a weekend away just by ourselves. I’m a naturally shy person and not always the most confident about my body despite continuous praise and lovely comments from my husband and friends. So this photo shoot was a complete surprise and I was rather anxious about what it would feel like. I even said no way would you get me out of my bra!I can only say I had no need to worry. Alex met me with the warmest of smiles and completely put my mind and spirit at ease talking me through what we would be doing and how the day would go. Her makeup artist Sheridan was introduced and immediately her natural warm effervescence put me quickly at ease she soon got to know my whole life story and vice versa!Lean forward move the left arm upward, arch your back, head back , right arm back…..oh my what all at the same time??? Goodness this was such a wonderful fun workout I cannot begin to describe just how much. Time passed so quickly outfits changed and the buzz and positive affirmations just made me feel relaxed and at ease. So much to the point that my early claim that Alex would never get me to be naked flew right out the window in a way I cant begin to explain.Thank you so much for the experience….I love the outcomes……I want to share my photos with the world if only I dare!!! Even my daughter a natural born prude…..said …….’ Good grief mum ! You are HOT!!!’--

Embrace menopause - it's natural!

Menopause is a natural transition that happens to every woman, and it can be a challenging phase in life. It is characterised by hormonal changes that can cause a variety of symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. However, with the right approach, it is possible to manage the symptoms effectively and maintain a healthy body image.

Exercise is an essential part of managing menopause. It helps to maintain a healthy weight, reduce stress, and improve mood. Strength training is particularly beneficial as it can help to prevent osteoporosis, a condition that is more prevalent in postmenopausal women.

A healthy diet is also crucial during menopause. Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein can help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, which tends to increase after menopause.

Fight negativity by taking action

In terms of body image, it is common for women to feel self-conscious during menopause due to changes in their bodies. However, it is important to remember that these changes are natural and to focus on the positive aspects of aging. One way to boost confidence and improve feelings of femininity is through a boudoir photoshoot.

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY PORTRAITS is a studio that specializes in creating tasteful and empowering boudoir portraits for women of all ages, shapes, and sizes. A boudoir photoshoot can help women to feel beautiful, confident, and feminine, regardless of their age or body type.

In conclusion, menopause is a natural transition that can be managed effectively through a combination of healthy lifestyle habits and a positive mindset. While it is common to experience changes in body image during this phase, it is important to focus on the positive aspects of aging and to seek out activities that help to boost confidence and improve feelings of femininity, such as a boudoir photoshoot at FOR YOUR EYES ONLY PORTRAITS.
