Beautiful you.....
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you have ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
~ Derek Walcott, Love After Love
…What is Red Shoe? While Trying to find a word to describe Makeover Photography for women and girls I came across this quote "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the word" ..and every girl should have the right shoes....
Where do I even Start………OK Here Goes……..Its took me over 3 years to book a shoot like this……I was looking for something different……thank god I came across ‘RED SHOE’, I didn't want the 80’s boudoir look session you see everywhere, this was not me…….Fur Rugs, Dodgy Silk, Tiny thongs…..Vom! Plus me and sexy just don’t go together, these are words that shouldn't be used in the same sentence, I’d never be able to pull it off surely…….I’m a lights off Kinda Girl…….well that’s the opinion I had until I met SARAH…….she showed me what sexy was, sexy is about being comfortable in your own skin, we all just need to realise that. It’s about knowing your identity, after having my daughter over 3 year ago I think I lost this, no one can prepare you for how difficult motherhood is, my life how I knew it changed overnight (along with my body!) and boy what a shock it was…..I wouldn't change it for the world though as I now have a beautiful, loving, amazing Daughter who is my world!
On the run up to the shoot I was utterly and completely terrified, why in god’s name did I agree to this!!!! I hadn't told anyone I was going!!!! When I walked through the door to the studio I was met by Mandy, Oh Mandy, How I love you!!!! She is the one hell of a Make Up Artist, seriously the best I have seen, she instantly made me feel at ease and my nerves slowly slipped away…..And boy did she make me look and feel fabulous, amazing what a bit of war paint can do ��
Then enter SARAH, absolute whirlwind, crazy, infectious personality, and damn bloody good at her job!!!! I had so much fun working with her, we instantly understood each other, she knew what I wanted out of the shoot without me even having to say….to be honest I didn't know myself what I wanted, but she got it, she got me!
Girls I salute you, I only have one more thing to say…..Vagina Arms….And ladies if you want to know what this is about……You must book as session to find out…..Trust me you’ll love it.
With Love, Emma x
