BOUDOIR BRIDE TOP TIPS, PART 10 — Fake Tan ✨
I was in the studio today with a bride-to-be, having a pre-shoot chat. She was speaking so honestly about how she feels about her body, and as she talked about her decision not to tan for her shoot… it felt like a mirror was being held up in front of me.
I found myself thinking, “Yes… why do we feel like we have to have a tan?”
She said, “This is me. This is my body. I’m pale. I’m naturally really, really fair — and that’s okay.”
And something just shifted in me.
I had planned to create a video today about which fake tan to use for your photoshoot… but after that moment, I realised that’s not what I want to share with you.
What I do want to tell you is this:
Your skin colour is perfect exactly as it is.You are lovely exactly as you are.Every tone deserves to be celebrated. 🤍
I’m naturally very pale-skinned, and for most of my life I wished I were darker. But today reminded me how powerful it is to finally accept yourself as you are.
In the studio, the lighting I use? It doesn’t depend on your skin tone. Whether I’m using soft light, backlight to create that beautiful halo glow, or silhouettes… you shine regardless.
And watching her see herself — truly see herself — was magic. She chose her favourite images, and her excitement about creating her wedding gift was everything.
I may have guided her through the experience… but she guided me too.
