Nathalie’s Testimonial

I was labelled a “sl*t” from my own family...

I grew up in a very repressive household. As a teenager and young adult I was taught to suppress my sexuality, which over time caused me to feel deep shame and disgust towards my desires and my body. This shame and self loathing greatly impacted my early relationships as I was constantly at war with my inner desires to express myself sexually and to enjoy my body. When I eventually made the decision to break free of the narrative that had been written for me, I was rejected by my family. I was labelled a ‘slut’ and a ‘whore’, and told my desires were unnatural and unfeminine.

I booked a boudoir shoot with Alessio as part of my journey to heal from the abuse that I had suffered. The shoot was hard work, and forced me to confront insecurities and traumas that I hadn’t realised I was still carrying with me. However, I had a fantastic time on set, and at every stage of the process it was clear that Alessio really cares about his clients’ stories and strives to get the best possible results for them. I was shocked by both the beauty and boldness of the images- I had never seen this side of me before, and it took me a while to take it all in! I cannot wait to give my partner these images to thank them for being so patient with me on this journey of mine over the years, but really the photos and boudoir experience are the greatest gift I’ve ever got for myself.

What do other women say about their Boudoir Sessions?

With my love for boudoir, I could go on for hours about why every woman should book a session. The best part is you don’t have to just take my word for it. Check out some of these amazing testimonials and live videos from clients who’ve had the experience!

Boudoir style photography was something I've always wanted to do and I finally acted upon that wish and booked in a session. It started with a phone call to Alessio who was just so friendly, guinuine and answered all my questions. Next came all the informative and helpful guides leading up to the big day. I felt prepared on the day and the photoshoot itself was so much fun! Alessio was professional but friendly and made me feel completely comfortable. I recently picked up my album and was blown away by the quality and the photographs themselves. I couldn't be happier with the result!

Meg Rao "A Photoshoot with Alessio is just an amazing experience!"

Alessio was a complete professional the entire time in the warmest, kindest and most respectful way possible. We had fun, we laughed a lot and I felt relaxed and happy as a result. I felt beautiful during the shoot and the photos were absolutely stunning. I love them and I am so proud of them. I could not recommend this experience more, it was so good and I can't wait to do it again!
