I have always been on the big side since I was a teenager and not very confident in my body. It’s taken several years and couple of failed relationships to begin to like myself for who I am but still a long way to go.

I saw a competition for a photoshoot and thought why not, what have a got to loose. I was not expecting anything to come of it, until I found out I got one of the runner up prizes. I had a lovely phone call with Karen who answered all the questions I had and helped ease some of the nerves I had. 

On the day of the shoot I was filled with excitement but also nervous too. Karen made me feel at ease and guided me through the photoshoot and my nervousness subsided. Lots of laughs and giggles had. I didn’t realise how pretty I could be.

It has given me a real boost in my confidence which is great and now I have some stunning photos to look at too.
