Ever wish you could capture a moment?

There’s something very liberating about getting older.

Knowing who you are and being comfortable in your skin comes with age, as does confidence. Yet there is still a small voice inside that says “this is as good as it gets”. There’s no way of freezing time or winding back the clock but we can capture the memory. How often do you wish you had a fabulous photograph of yourself at a particular age, I know I do, I would love to look back and think wow didn’t I look good then.

In the past I didn’t like having my photograph taken, but having it taken professionally made me realise how liberating it is. Knowing that your makeup has been applied by a makeup artist who knows what works for the camera, and how to bring out your best features, is one less thing to worry about. Not being taken off guard, and having a photographer who has your best interests at heart makes it easier to relax and enjoy the experience.

If this is liberating how would a boudoir shoot feel?

Many women feel at their sexiest in their fifties and want to explore a side of themselves that they haven’t shown for years, and what better way than to have a lasting image of that empowerment?

Kim and Jeanette, who together make up Cocoon Photography, create the most beautiful boudoir images. Their relaxed manner combined with clever use of light and props mean they can bring out the siren in us all. As women they know that we want to feel comfortable at a shoot of this nature, and have created a video so you can see exactly what to expect.

Before the day Kim and Jeanette will send you a list of tips to help you prepare, they’ll lay on a glass of bubbly and snacks and spend time going through the digital look book, so you get the best possible poses for your body shape. Working together with a professional makeup artist they will help you to look and feel at your most beautiful.
