Michelle's Story

My two biggest concerns about my shoot were what Zena and Leigh were going to be like and showing them my flabby thighs! I guess I expected Leigh and Zena to be a flamboyant and slightly weird couple, maybe verging on the creepy. Thankfully, they are just normal, ordinary people.

Zena spent time putting my make up on and I chatted with them both so it wasn't a case of just walking in and whipping my clothes off straight away! After a while I almost forgot that I wasn't wearing any clothes and I even plucked up the courage to pose without my lingerie. It helped that there was no pressure and I could have stayed fully clothed if I'd wanted to.

After the shoot I felt, and still feel, so much more confident about my body. I have always been extremely self-conscious about my body and, looking at the pictures, I can now see that I may have been too self critical in the past. My confidence has sky rocketed. I had planned to ask Leigh and Zena to slim down my thighs when they came to do the airbrushing and the editing, but now I quite like the fact that my body is my body, shapely thighs as well!

My advice to anyone thinking of having a shoot would be DO IT! If possible, have a nice hot bath before you go along, exfoliate and pamper yourself to make you feel a bit sexier. Then remember that Leigh and Zena have seen a billion bodies before of all different shapes and sizes and that you only need to go as far as you want to in terms of stripping.
