The Marvellous Molly

Molly’s In- Depth Point of View

Hello ladies, 

My name is Molly, I have struggled with my weight pretty much my entire life. I also suffer severe anxiety, making me super self concious, so the idea of me stripping down for a photo shoot scared the crap out of me. I was so nervous and doubtful this photo shoot was going to awaken my self love as it did for my soul sister Taylor. If it wasn't for her, I probably would never have done it, and I'm so grateful I did. 

Although being so nervous once I arrived at this beautiful private air B&B I was welcomed in by a phenomenal makeup artist, Amber from Gemini Styling. Amber executed my makeup look exactly the way I wanted it, whilst hyping me up, having a fun conversation, and serving me drinks, my nerves calmed down a heap. Before I even started the photo shoot I felt beautiful. 

I was mostly scared of showing my body, the scars, vitiligo, pimples, excema and my weight. I was scared about letting anyone else see my fat rolls. However Bec is a phenomenal spirit, she is so loving and non-judgemental person, her energy quickly whipped me out of my cave of worries. Bec made me feel so beautiful and confident about myself, by embracing my flaws and capturing my natural beauty. Once the photos started to happen, Bec will show you the photos as you go, and soon as I looked back at my pictures my ego, self confidence and joy just exploded out of me. I was so happy with how I was being treated, the way I looked, I honestly never had this much fun taking off my clothes. 

I have never been a part of something so empowering especially when it comes down to my body. 

Bec is also a very patient professional who will guide you step by step. Some of the poses I wouldn't understand and Bec would help position me. Honestly was so surprised when some of the poses felt ridiculous or uncomfortable the pictures portrayed the exact opposite. I was gobsmacked, my doubts washed away and I fully trusted Bec, and I just went for it. 

Usually for me to build that kind of trust when I have anxiety takes me months, before I knew what hit me I decided to a shower shoot completely naked, even the lingerie provided me a bit more confidence as I wasn't fully displayed, but I did it. I got undressed and rocked that shower shoot, and I absolutely love those photos. 

Despite being naked and the usual response to seeing myself as this fat ugly blob, no joke all I could see was this brave, gorgeous, bright, big and bold soul staring back at me. In that moment I fell in love with myself. 

This boudoir photoshoot by Bec-Kay Boudoir was a life changing experience for me. I actually love myself, I see my beauty, curves, scars, the lot. I no longer want to abuse myself, and that is a massive thing for me. I have done it for so long, but I can't tell a beautiful person that. This photoshoot experience has proved to me, I am beautiful.

You may look at the price and think it's too expensive, at first so did I, but after doing my sessions, I can't think of a better experience to fund. Loving yourself is priceless, and spending money on something that makes you feel like the Queen you are, it beats any Martini on the beach.

My boyfriend is so proud of me, we only recently started dating, he joined the conference call with Bec and I foe the photo reveal. He couldn't believe how stunning the photos were, he said 'I'm stunning all the time, but those photos captured me beautifully. ' 

I finally see myself as beautiful inside and out, all it took was Bec and her staff at my photoshoot experience. I really hope my story encourages any woman regardless of insecurities, to treat yourself to self love and care. 

Bec has such a warm and comforting energy that just radiates and keeps the vibes fun. Bec was very professional and not once made me feel uncomfortable. I'm so grateful I experienced this photoshoot, as it awoken my self love and appreciation. 

I'm proud to say I love myself. I am beautiful. 

Love from the big, bold and beautiful Molly Cook.
