✨ Drop a 💖 if you’re ready to step into your own magic!
Gather round — let’s have a heart-to-heart about self-love. Not the fluffy, throwaway kind people stick on a mug… I mean the real stuff.
The kind that changes how you walk through the world. The kind that makes you MAGNETIC without even trying.
Here’s the truth: the moment you start treating yourself like someone worth showing up for, everything shifts.
And I see it all the time in the studio — women step in feeling a bit unsure, a bit “I’ll just blend into the background,” and then something clicks.
A spark.
A reclaiming.
And suddenly she’s standing taller, laughing louder, looking like she’s been lit from within. That is the power of self-love.
Because when you back yourself, truly, deeply, unapologetically, you become the woman who walks into a room and doesn’t need to prove a thing.
Not a damn thing.
Your energy does it for you. And that kind of quiet confidence? Absolutely magnetic.
Here’s what self-love really gives you:
1. A new lens — You stop picking yourself apart and start asking better questions. Not “What’s wrong with me?” but “What makes me feel alive?” When you shift the focus, your whole world softens.
2. A new story — All those little “I’m not enough” whispers start losing their grip. You begin telling the truth instead: “I’m worthy as I am.” And once you start believing that, there’s no going back.
3. A new glow — Self-love isn’t just internal. It shows. It’s in your posture, your eyes, the way you move. It’s not arrogance — it’s ownership. A quiet, elegant yes to yourself.
So tonight, do something simple: look in the mirror and name one thing you appreciate about your body. Maybe it’s carried you through hell and back. Maybe it’s soft where you once wished it wasn’t. Maybe it’s strong in ways you forget to acknowledge. Whatever it is — give it a moment.
Because loving yourself isn’t silly or selfish. It’s grounding. It’s transformative. It’s one of the most powerful things you can do.
You don’t need permission. You don’t need a perfect day. You just need to DECIDE NOW: I’m choosing me.

🦋The Body Paint Photoshoot! Two of my greatest passions, painting and photography, collide to create one of the most expressive and liberating photoshoot experiences! There’s something almost meditative about the shift in energy as we see ourselves as unique works of art rather than something to critique.

There’s something almost meditative about the shift in energy as we see ourselves as unique works of art rather than something to critique.
Body paint has a way of changing everything. It’s bold, fun, and unexpectedly empowering.🚀
Our bodies really are works of art.
Unique, feminine, individual, shaped by every moment of our lives.
And yet so often our instinct is to criticise, to judge, to compare.
What if we changed that narrative?
What if we chose to celebrate our bodies instead of apologising for them?
Learning to see ourselves through a different lens can be life-changing.
Being less harsh and more understanding with our bodies doesn’t just affect how we look at photos, it influences how we show up in every area of our lives…
Our confidence, our sense of identity, the way we connect in our relationships, even the way we walk into a room.
When we start recognising the beauty in the light, the movement, the lines, and the changes, we soften.
We forgive.
We appreciate.
We show compassion toward the body that carries us through everything.
I still remember how body paint felt on my skin – and in my mind. The pictures from my body paint shoot gave me permission to feel beautiful in a way that wasn’t about perfection but about expression. It reminded me that my body holds stories, seeing it as a work of art helps me honour it.
If you’d love to experience this for yourself, you can add a body paint session to your boudoir shoot through the ‘fyeo portraits’ website. It’s an opportunity to see yourself in a completely new way, and many clients tell me it’s one of their favourite shoots.
Would you try a body paint photoshoot? I’m always curious to hear your thoughts.
