I didn’t think I’d do this in a million years!

Body confidence isn't something that has traditionally come naturally to Nikki. Now in her Fifties, with a supportive man in her life, she had just enough faith to book her session! Empowered by his adoration and re-assurance, she knew this would be a gift well received!

I saw the reaction for myself as she walked a very bewildered man through the studio door. She'd not told him anything about what she'd done a few weeks before. His utter surprise was priceless as the penny started to drop when he saw our boudoir photographs on the wall. As I played a slideshow of her final images I could see how much it meant to him. He said it was like a Christmas, Birthday and Anniversary gift all rolled into one. How was he going to trump it now? Even a first class train Eurostar ticket to Paris for Valentines wasn't going to!

She told me she had a fit of giggles as she was driving home after the shoot. She compared it to the same feeling as waking up with a hangover thinking what on earth had happened the night before. She couldn’t quite believe an hour ago she’d been lying naked on a fur rug with just her sparkly blue stilettos on!

“But what a great thing to look back on when you’re 70” I couldn’t agree more!
