Maia's Story

March 2025 i came for my first ever BYB photoshoot, nervous, almost fearful my pictures wouldn't turn out like i hoped they would because i only saw myself in one light. After years of battling body image issues, low confidence, anxiety....i did it, i pushed myself to do something i never thought i would, something i only ever fantasised about doing! And wow...i caught the boudoir bug. Seeing myself on those photos after the first shoot i was overwhelmed and spent days looking at them thinking is this really me and seeing myself in a new light. Over a few months my confidence slowly grew, i grew to love myself, my imperfections, kept telling myself not to worry what others think. It might seem miniscule to some but this summer i bought my first summer dress at 28! Never ever worn them before as i didn't feel confident enough too but after that first shoot it inspired me and

my dress wardrobe gradually grew. Come August 2025 i did a 2nd shoot, a little more daring and comparing my 1st shoot photos to my 2nd shoot photos i can see how much my confidence has grown and i am so in love with who i am becoming, i don't think without the help of BYB i would've seen it, they were so patient, caring, kind and understanding. They really made me feel confident and i am so planning on going back!!(Getting a little teary-eyed writing all this) Thank you BYB

Much love Maia
