I was asked to visit beforehand to discuss what I wanted, and also the types of shoot the studio could offer. Now I’m always upfront about what I am, and I have no problem with people being awkward about it; not everyone can accept this. Any doubts though were completely unfounded, as before; these are just professional, wonderful people who are just open and accepting. I can’t explain how good it is to be welcomed so warmly without any questions. Now I don’t know how the questions would be for a woman, but I, was just asked what looks I wanted, I was shown some previous work for tips on what they can achieve, and then shown round the studio. The point here is that I can only assume my experience was exactly the same as anyone else’s, they genuinely just want to make it an experience for you whoever you are.
The day of the shoot was a lot easier this time. I was so much calmer, as I knew what to expect… being pampered! This time I had been able to put more thought into it, I had a plan. I’d brought a wedding dress as an indulgence a few months earlier, now, was the chance to experience looking my best as a blushing bride as well as create other womanly images. You could ask why I just didn’t use a traditional Dressing Service? My trouble was probably Transformation induced: after a few of their makeovers in the distant past, (though done by the lovely Barbara in the Bristol shop), I wanted to look like a woman and not a caricature of a woman. I wanted to see Paula in the image and not James - something which has always been a problem. To say I couldn’t have two nicer women doing the shoot is an understatement. I’m never overly comfortable being made up by someone else, but it was just so relaxing. I took with me a Pinterest board of looks I liked as a guide (a really brilliant idea). We had a chat about these and you can see the stunning results in the images. The physical shoot was just such an enjoyable experience, and being directed by someone who knows just how to bring out your best made for such a wonderful day.
