Confidence issues and low self esteem can set us all back in life occasionally and I always like to recall something I learned along the way through my work, not as a photographer but as a nurse over many years. Interestingly these two aspects of my life have merged beautifully and Id like to share this: When we look at self esteem my learning reminded me of this simple mnemonic: R - Realise the reality E - Engage yourself in positive thinking A - Accept that nobody in life is perfect L - Learn to love yourself unconditionally So ladies and gents ( as this isnt just us ladies who struggle from time to time) .....REAL - This is all about real people, real life.... Heres another of our ladies who has kindly shared her experience and some of her photographs: I would really recommend doing a boudoir shoot with Janey if you are low on confidence like I was. I was a bit nervous at first but Janey makes you feel so relaxed. By the end of the shoot I felt confident and had a lot of fun! Im definitely going to do another one when I have time. Heres a few of my favourite pics from the shoot and Ive also got my amazing book as a keepsake from the day. Helen X
