Kayt's
My shoot took place in November last year and was one of the best experiences I have ever had. In the previous 12 months I had lost nearly 4 stone and wanted to show off my new found curves and treat my wonderful supportive husband to a Christmas present he would never forget! A friend of mine had had a shoot done in London as a wedding present for her husband but looking at the website for that company didn’t fill me with the enthusiasm that I had hoped so I did a Google search under ‘Boudoir Photography’ and the Mighty Aphrodite site came up as the top result. The minute I clicked through the link I knew this was the company for me – the images were exactly what I had in mind and looked stunning so I got straight on the phone to Leigh.
Leigh was great on that initial call, explaining what the company did and what would be required on the day and I booked with huge excitement. On the day of the shoot I arrived, with my sister in tow for support, more than a little nervous, but Leigh and Zena could not have been more calming and considerate. We sat down and, over a cup of tea, discussed what I was looking for from the session and what I had brought along as props. By the time we were ready to make a start on make-up I was buzzing with excitement, completely happy that the results were going to be amazing.
We shot for nearly three hours but it seemed like just a few minutes – I was having so much fun. I had already decided on the ‘Satin Sheets’ set and we started with that. I wore a black basque and stockings and heels which felt weird in a room with three other people but Zena had done a great job on my make-up and I felt very glamorous and threw myself in to it, thankfully both Leigh and Zena are great at directing a shoot and made it good fun as well as sexy. After the first set of shots, Leigh asked if I was ready to try some topless, and again, although it felt slightly weird I was very much of the opinion that I’m only going to do this once (or so I thought at the time) and I wanted to do it properly so I took a deep breath and stripped off and, you know, it felt good. Leigh was so encouraging that when it came to taking everything off for the ‘Artistic Nude’ set it was no drama at all, in fact it felt great.
My main piece of advice for anyone looking to do a shoot with Leigh and Zena is simple – bite the bullet and do it! I’m still not 100% happy with the way I look but in those pictures I looked amazing. The shoot was brilliant fun and I couldn’t recommend doing it more highly. I am so proud of myself for doing it and I look forward to being able to look back on the images in the years to come and seeing how great I can look.

I had no idea of the Christmas present my Wife had planned in 2009. In fact, for some reason I had the idea that Kayt had bought me ‘The World at War’ DVD box set so you can imagine my surprise! When I first opened the album I wondered who the stunning women in the pictures was (I was a poorly lit room!); when I realised it was Kayt, I was amazed and quietly overwhelmed! Kayt had worked very hard at getting fit and losing some weight and I was very proud of her before the photo-shoot; now, even more so! Kayt is always telling people how much she enjoyed the whole experience and how much confidence both the shoot and results have given her – and the end result is something that I’ll always treasure.
