Not feeling slim enough is one of the biggest worries I hear about as a photographer. While I think we should be confident and love ourselves simply the way we are, I totally understand these worries.

Maybe you tried to lose weight for some time and you’re reaching a point where you’re really frustrated and disempowered. A lot of our clients struggled with this issue, but what they found is when they finally did their photoshoot… they only regretted not doing it sooner.

I always explain what we can do to help, so you don’t need to be stressed about this issue and can end up looking your best, but still like you:

Flattering Wardrobe
We talk about your wardrobe in detail during Your Consultation before your photoshoot and we help you choose outfits that are visually slimming.

2. Posing & right angles

Angles are everything when it comes to photography. People are always so pleased when we show them the results!

3. The right lens

As a portrait photographer and a woman, I choose lenses that are flattering. We’ve all heard the saying “a camera adds 5 pounds”. Well, if you’re using the right one, it does not! On the contrary, certain lenses will make you look slimmer.

4. Editing & retouching

With over 20+ years of experience with editing and retouching, it’s very easy to apply subtle slimming.

Raj is one of the participants of our 40 over 40 Experience this year. It has been wonderful photographing women over 40 and I can’t wait to share more shoots with you. We have met incredible women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s & even 80s and we’re so excited for the exhibit! If you want to participate, fill out a form HERE.

We asked Raj questions about beauty and confidence over 40:

How did you feel before your photo shoot? Were you nervous? Excited? Were you scared how your photos would turn out?: I was nervous as I do not like having my pictures taken. Excited at the prospect of having a day of pampering and a day dedicated to me.

How did you feel when you saw your photos?: When I saw the pictures I was lost for words. I was in utter amazement that my pictures turned out so stunning, I could see these pictures in a magazine.

What excites you about your future? What are your goals and plans you look forward to?: I am so pleased to have these memories of me looking so great, my children have these amazing pictures of their mummy looking at her best. This whole experience has thought me that anything is attainable, I have never really been happy with my pictures and chalked it down to me not being photogenic. But Agnes has proved me wrong and showed me that having the right guidance and skill can totally change that.

How do you nurture your confidence on a regular basis?: I am generally a confident person, work, personal life I have done well. Now I feel more outwardly confident. I have never had a profile picture on my social media but now I do thanks to the photoshoot. I felt these pictures reflected how I see myself and felt confident enough to share them publicly.

Are there any myths about being your age you'd like to bust?: I think the phrase “Life Begins at 40” is so true. I found that by 40 you really do establish yourself in the world and identify what you stand for.

“ This photoshoot was truly the first thing I have ever done on my own for me that was fun and exciting and enjoyable. The whole experience was amazing. I want to do this again in my 50’s!”
