A story of 'Elf' Esteem, restored in the boudoir

Figgy’s story of ‘elf esteem, in her own words

I’ve been really stressed this year. It’s been a year of ups and downs.

Despite all the dramas, on occasions, Santa has said I’ve been a naughty elf. To be honest, it’s got me down a bit and my ‘elf esteem has been knocked a bit.

Last week, after a particularly busy night causing mischief, I was overtired and snapped.

I thought ‘that’s enough, something HAS to change’.

I needed to turn over a new leaf and get back to the old me, find myself again.

I’m at my Christmas home at the moment, having lots of naughty fun. But between you and me, I’m not really feeling it this year.

I’d seen some ‘interesting’ portraits the mum here has on her wall and listened to her telling her best friend Mary how she felt proud and loved herself again.

How could I get the same feeling?

I googled the team at Johanna Elizabeth and booked straight away! I thought they’d be a bit ‘elfist’ but they weren’t. They were excited and promised me that they would make me feel like a million dollars!

So, I booked in!

Wow…what a day!

A makeover with tickly brushes…

Then, it was time to shoot

Boy was I put through my paces!

I felt…beautiful, for the first time in a long time!

So much joy… I felt invincible!

I definitely unleashed my inner elf

I couldn’t stop smiling!

I felt SO elegant

I started to think, ‘I can’t wait for the other elves to see these!’

As the shoot was coming to an end, Jo suggested we make the most of my new confidence and push the boundaries. I’m not used to that! I threw caution to the wind.
