This beautiful smiling and soulful woman is Dot, and after losing 60kgs+ and a little push from friends, it was time for her to discover her new self.

We have had the privilege to work with more and more people who have had giant life change moments like Dots. People who see their reflections and don't recognise the person smiling back at them.

It was so wonderful to show Dot how to let herself shine. Although a bubbly and talkative person by nature, she would be the one hiding behind others in a photo and opt for clothes that 'hid' her. After letting her loose in our studio wardrobe, not only did she fall in love with a figure-hugging blue beaded ball gown she absolutely beamed with confidence.

So whether you are on a journey or just want a confidence boost we think a photo shoot is the perfect thing to put a swing in your step and a smile on your face. And in the process, you might just discover the new you!
