Ali's Story
If you are considering doing an uplifting boudoir photography session, Ali’s story is inspirational to hear how she has gone from a place of depression and anxiety to gaining her confidence and power back through a Zest Photography experience.
Ali was ready to fall in love with herself again after coming to a point in her life that she had had enough of not feeling beautiful for so long. It was time she took the next step to building back her confidence and seeing her true power.
I had recently been making positive steps forward to gain back control in my life. I’ve been stuck in a job that I used to love but now feels tedious. My personal life also felt monotonous. I was sick of being stuck in the same loop.
“After struggling with feeling sexy and confident in my body for years, I decided now was the time to take control and my first stop was gaining back my confidence and doing something to make myself feel incredible.”
Before my photoshoot I was definitely very nervous but I was also radiating excited energy. I had never done or thought I would ever do a photoshoot and I was ready to fall in love with myself and see myself in a different light. The team had made me feel so confident, comfortable and excited before even entering the studio that my nerves were calmed immediately.
“I realised this was something I needed to do to reconnect to myself. I had put on some weight over the last year and I was very unhappy looking at myself in the mirror.”
I’ve always struggled with self love and confidence and I wanted more then anything to feel beautiful and amazing.
During my photoshoot, I felt an overwhelming peace within like it was something I was born to do.
I felt sexy, I felt desirable and sensual. It was one of the most incredible times of my life. I wish it never had to end and I could do it again and again and again so I can see myself flourishing.
It has been a massive confidence booster and I truly believe I NEEDED this to show myself that I truly am beautiful.
Since collecting my artwork, I have not been able to stop looking at my photos since getting them back. It’s unbelievable to me that I can look and be this way and be this person!
It just proves to me that I’ve been incredibly hard and judgmental of myself for a very long time and that I am and always have been beautiful, sometimes it’s just hard to see it for myself.
It means the world to me that I can look back on this period of my life at any time and remind myself how amazing I truly am. I opted for the black satin photo album and it is incredible, it’s beautiful!
I couldn’t recommend this experience enough. I would tell all women that are on the edge to jump in because there’s no better feeling in the world then realising you are comfortable in your own skin and seeing your beauty through your own eyes.
