If you pick yourself apart in photos, you’ve picked the right place

At You at Yours, we’re not here to airbrush you into someone else’s idea of “perfect”. We don’t use Photoshop or filters because we’ve proven hundreds of times that being yourself is the greatest piece of art you can ever create.

Most people rock up thinking they’ll hate every second. They don’t. They leave with proof that they’re more than enough - body, face, vibe, the lot. It’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about celebrating who you already are.

750+ people have done this with us, and the story’s nearly always the same: nervous as hell to start with… then surprised at how bloody good it feels and (yes), looks.

It’s not just a shoot. It’s a chance to meet a version of yourself you have neglected in the past, or didn’t know existed.

Our goal is simple: we want to help as many people as possible celebrate and love themselves a little more. Call us crazy, but we believe everyone deserves to feel good in their own skin.

This passion grew from seeing people in my life - friends, family, clients - struggle with self-doubt and being super hard on themselves:

“I’m too this”
“I’m not enough of that”
“I wish I looked more like…”

Sound familiar?

We’re all bombarded with ideas of how we “should” look, and it’s easy to lose sight of what makes us special. We want to change that narrative.

That’s why I shifted from wedding photography back in 2017, to creating a space dedicated to body confidence. Now, I have an incredible team who shares this mission, and together we’ve been honored to make a difference.

I’ve been voted London’s Best Boudoir Photographer three times(!), and I teach Nude Photography, centred around consent and safe spaces, vs pretty pictures (hint: they come naturally when someone feels comfortable). I’ve been featured on countless podcasts and stage events, all of it aimed at building a world where people see their own beauty and strength, just as they are.

 

Consent + Privacy

are everything

 

This may be the first time you’ve ever considered doing anything like this (apart from that one time in Vegas, but we won’t mention that!). Because of the nature of this work, consent is explicitly required for this type of experience in the form of a contract, which is signed by both parties.

As for your privacy, your images shouldn’t be seen by anyone without your explicit permission. At the photo reveal, we discuss which photos (if any) you’re okay with being seen by the public (via social media or on this website).

…you do not need to be a model!

 
 
 

The truth is that NOBODY knows how to pose, yet EVERYBODY expects they should know how to!

It’s our job to guide to you through the entire process so you’re looking your best! A body confidence shoot is all about acceptance, love and celebration of your body, whatever your shape and size.

However, it’s important for you to keep in mind that this kind of shoot may not be for you if you’re expecting lots of Photoshop to adapt how you look. Whilst I will make minor changes (such as spots and bruises), I don’t use Photoshop, as using it would conflict with my goal of getting you to accept, love and celebrate your true self - not an altered version.

You are perfect as you are - you just haven’t seen it yet!

If that doesn’t seal the deal, I don’t know what will 😂
