These days, life moves at 100mph. Gone are the days of downtime and gone too are the days of taking care of ourselves.

Above all for women, for whom there are kids to think about and jobs to  do; it can be a gruelling schedule to say the least. We forget, in this whirlwind of events, what life really is. We forget the romance of life;

The splendour of beautiful images from boudoir photographers makes us dream, but this is a dream that exists only in magazines or perhaps in some films where the ‘images’ of the film remain as important as the film itself. Of these great films there are but a few left.

One day we shall look back, and recognise that time passes so fast… but what can we do? We have therefore the desire to immortalise the beautiful moments in our lives, to keep them whole and unblemished by the ravages of time.

One perfect image would suffice, but it is not with our little cameras that we can achieve this, and it is not the holiday snaps which will be enough either (red skinned and tan-lined). Nor will it be the photos that we put on facebook, which get lost amongst so many thousands of others.

It can be hard then, to know just how to capture these precious moments, and this is where I come in. Because that’s my job. For your part, you need only free up an hour or two, and then the rest, you can leave to me.

I created YourHollywoodPortrait for everyone who wants, just for a moment to be transported back to a perfect moment in their lives by a photograph, a picture that they can keep forever.

Lighting techniques aren’t easy of course, but with 15 years experience and several awards, I’d say that I manage okay.

Make-up and hair styling help too obviously, and the professional, natural image editing that I do, that’s just the cherry on top. You might tell me that ‘you don’t know how to pose’, that ‘you’ve never modelled before’ or that ‘you can’t make the photo look as great as other models’. But I would tell you that you’re wrong, and that no model has ever just walked into a studio and the photo’s been taken.

No. Each person, including models, has their flaws. But there is always a method that we can find to get you from the best angle, with a few magic touches of course, (shadows etc.). There are thousands of ways to hide those devilish little flaws, and that’s exactly the same process whether you’re a model or not. Of course, I’m not saying that the Top models aren’t almost perfect, but even so, there are very few like that, and even they have need of the ‘magic touches’ from time to time, just to reassure you.

So, no more worries need be had, and I would say even that it’s rather a gentle moment, of relaxation, where I will tease from you all the inner beauty that sleeps within you. A trendy, fashionable dress can help as well, and that’s before we even get onto the delightful décor that comes straight out of a black and white film.

I am totally convinced that this is something that everyone should do at least once for themselves and for their life partners.

Everyone deserves to retain their beauty, and with my photos, you can. That may seem childish, but admit it, don’t you deserve to remember these golden days. We guarantee you always will.
