Women who’ve experienced the healing power of a body-confidence photoshoot
The following women are just some of those we have worked with who have experienced the healing power of photography.
Read on and you’ll be sure to feel inspired by their stories!
Kate’s experience
Growing up, I was always the “big girl” in the group of friends. By my early teens, as I grew in height and weight, my skin started to tear, revealing deep bright red stretch marks all up the back of my thighs.
I have a love-hate relationship with my stretch marks. But they’re real, they’re human, it’s who I am. I loved that in two of my photos Jo create for me, my stretch marks were painted in gold glitter. My ‘zebra stripes’ sparkled. I loved them!
I was blown away by the portraits! I inspected every one of them, not quite believing it was me. That was my body, and it looked amazing!

Jade’s experience
I have always been on the larger side and have felt self-conscious about my weight, but even though I was stood there with nothing on, it was empowering more than embarrassing. I never thought it would feel like that!
I came away having loved my day and feeling so much better about me! I felt so much more comfortable in my own skin after the shoot. I didn’t care what size I was, and it made me realise that I wasn’t as bad as I portray myself. I was actually beautiful and much more confident than I ever gave myself credit for!
Most of all, the photoshoot with Jo helped me feel happier in my own skin, and now having the photos always reminds me of that when I’m having a bad day!
Mikala’s experience
My journey with Jo began when I decided to face a fear and gain freedom from it. As a child, I was abused, during which photos were taken. I dealt with most of it, but I had a real fear of cameras so, while I had lots of photos of my son, I had none of me.
With Jo’s help and support, she listened to my story and sensitively helped me through the shoot and created some beautiful photos that I could show and some that were just for me. Going through with the photoshoot was the most freeing thing I had ever done!
I’ve since had two more photoshoots with Jo.
Due to all the trauma my body had been put through there were a lot of injuries that never fully healed but I never let it stop me until a couple of discs in my spine prolapsed. This put a lot of pressure on my spinal cord, and I lost all use of my body from my stomach down. I had emergency surgery and when I came round it was soon apparent that I was partially paralysed, I would need to be in a wheelchair.
So, I decided to go the second shoot with Jo to show that even a disability shouldn’t stop us. In fact, we have more to offer and it’s still beautiful and strong.
Now I’m fighting the toughest battle yet which led to a third, special, family shoot with me and my son. I’m fighting against a tumour in my brain that could mean that I don’t get to see another year. I’m having to accept that every day is a gift.
Jo created the best photos! They were beautiful photos of me and of my son – the best thing I ever created. She gave us a gift that if I don’t make it, he will still be able to see my face with him.
