Women (or guys) who've been through a bit recently... or else just simply don't think well of their appearance... or mothers who've forgotten how and wonder if they still can... There are as many stories as pixels on this screen.

What they tend to have in common is that with a little TLC and genuinely interested attention, they blossom into something remarkable. You are not the first to say “I don't look good in photos” or “this really isn't my thing”. We hear that every day and every day we get stories like this one from Angelique Jurd – a writer who had a particular feature she's always felt overwhelmed by but who came, through all her fears, to rediscover the beauty of her very own eyes! It just goes to show the confidence that comes of knowing how to forget the big things we don't like and focus on our best features.

Thats what we're all about: helping real women overcome their fears, fatal features and foibles and step out confident in themselves and the beauty they do have.

Often we find that what others see is quite different from what you see of yourself – Seen the British show: 'How to Look Good Naked'? You can get that feeling without the giant billboard right here at Photographers Inc. It's a matter of showing you the wonderful things about you that the rest of the world can see. It's sometimes helpful to get a few tips on how to make those feaures the ones you first see. You'll get to see a whole new side of you.

Of course there're the girls (and guys) who've just simply never been focused on their looks. Worked in a lab or technical background where looking like a lady isn't exactly top of the list? Been too busy all your life learning other skills to explore the cut of a shirt or the shade of an eyeshadow? This can go 2 ways:

1. We can help you explore your more creative, even feminine, side and develop a few looks to show you - and your friends – what you've got! You'll be amazed at the difference and, really, the sky's the limit, we can help you capture an image of your alter-ego to treasure for years to come.
2. We can discover that you really are most comfortable as yourself and help you take a portrait that captures the real you without the distractions of bad lighting, timing and photography – to leave you with an image that's suitable for all uses and to recall you as you are now for posterity – or just a business card. It's entirely up to you.

We're all about helping you create an image that's really you – that you really love.

If you've already been thinking what you'd like: we absolutely love to be inspired by your ideas – you provide the you and we'll provide the expertise to realise your vision. You might also want to look at an artistic shoot so we can be ready to go all out.

We do get a number of friends who refer someone who could do with a little extra boost. This is a great idea!

Organise them a consultation so we can talk to them about what makes them most comfortable.

It can be a help to have done it yourself first – so you can tell them first-hand how great it really was.

Another use for a Confidence Booster is job seeking: when you're out there on the market again it can be a tough time for your confidence and with the need for a great first impression you want to have the images on your CV and the confidence upon arrival to ace that interview. Or for a shorter version try a Business Sitting.

We've created the confidence booster for those special times when there's likely to be more than the average level of concern or nerves associated with having a Sitting.

We can take extra care to find a time that will help you (or your friend) feel their most comfortable – whether that's having the place to yourself or having more people about to generate a buzz...we'll work with you to find the right time. We'll assign our most trusted make-up artists and take note of any specific features, or things about you, that you'd rather not focus on in your Shoot. We can fix almost anything post-production, don't worry, but we prefer to start with a real image you'll love anyway. We'll discover the very best of you and maybe give you the confidence to present that side of you more often on your own. Everyone's different and this gives us a chance to make your Sitting unique and just right for you. We'll take extra care to ensure that if you're freezing up (like Angelique was) that you get the chance to unwind in the best way for you – it helps to know in advance what your concerns are so we can understand right away and make it right. We'll also ensure that we're with you from the moment you arrive so there's no chance for nerves.

If this sounds like you or your friend, Book your Sitting now and make a note that you'd like a Confidence Booster – you'll be glad you did!
