This year has been a really important one for me, I’ve been trying to love myself and throw myself into new experiences. The main thing I’ve struggled with is loving my body and feeling confident. This shoot has been the best thing for me! The whole team made me feel so comfortable, and it was so much fun! I couldn’t help dancing along to the playlist as we were posing. Honestly I’m so proud of myself for getting these done, it’s made me appreciate myself and my body so much more. And I couldn’t have done it without the wonderful team from Johanna Elizabeth, they made every step a joy and so easy right from the beginning. If you are nervous then please do not worry or hesitate, it’s a space full of love and empowerment. Every time I feel anxious or forget the confidence inside I just look at these pictures. This experience has truly changed the way I look at myself, thank you so much!
Absolutely amazing, I was so nervous when I originally bucked up the courage to get my photos taken but so happy that I have done it would recommend going as it was so much fun and Jo was very calming and we had such a laugh that I relaxed instantly 😊
I wish there were more stars!! I entered this competition on a whim after my husband got sent to prison for domestic abuse….when i had the call and email to say id won, i was still apprehensive. This by far is the most, fun, empowering, emotional experience I've ever done. Every day my confidence has come back even more. This shoot is far better than any therapy or medication, I’ve had to endure. The staff are amazing from my consultation, make up, photo shoot….they're all amazing and i felt like a princess and most importantly….valued…i am someone. I personally want to thank everyone for all their hard work and their welcomeness, understanding and non judgmental attitude in my own personal journey. Xxx
Had the most incredible experience from start to finish with the amazing team at Johanna Elizabeth! Made me feel comfortable, welcomed and confident in myself. The team were always on hand to answer any questions in the lead up to my shoot and then on the day made sure my nerves were soothed and that I could be ready to have the most stunning photos taken. Would recommend these ladies to anyone who would listen!
This was my second shoot with Jo and it was just as amazing as I remembered! The atmosphere is both comforting and electric from the moment you step in the door! The whole team are so friendly and they all make the experience what it is. I honestly couldn’t recommend it more and I proudly display the stunning and empowering pictures all around my house! I can’t wait to do another shoot with these amazing ladies!!
Loved every single second of my photo shoot! From start to finish they all make you feel so at ease! I felt so confident by the end of it all and was completely buzzing! Everyone should do this! I can’t stop looking and showing people my pictures! I can’t believe it’s me! Thank you so much x
I don’t normally write reviews but I really have to shout about how amazing the team at Johanna Elizabeth were for me!!! During my photoshoot they helped me feel a sense of confidence and beauty in my own body. I wasn’t sure I could pose correctly or look as incredible as other shoots Ive seen, but everyone was so warm and lovely that I quickly felt at home. I love my photos and would happily do it again in a heartbeat. It was an incredible experience I will treasure for the rest of my life, thank you ladies 😭💛 Holly xx
Jo & Ange really made this a special day, from make up to the photo shoot and the photo reveal, it was so comfortable, relaxed and fun, I highly recommed this to all women it really promotes body confidence and makes you feel empowered
I don't know where to start! I came across Johanna Elizabeth at a really low point in my life. I'd just experienced a break up from a toxic relationship and had lost all my self esteem and confidence. I thought I'd never recover. Then I saw that JE was running a completion to win a shoot, and I signed up without thinking much of it and then forgot about it. When Ange emailed to tell me I'd won, I was pleased but also incredibly nervous. FROM THE GET GO, THESE WOMEN WERE MY BIGGEST CHEERLEADERS! they hyped me up, they kept in touch every step of the way, they made sure I had every bit of their help and encouragement. The Skype call to chat introduce themselves and answer any questions was a lovely touch. And to have their pinterest board available to draw inspiration from and see other women absolutely killing it at their shoots was brilliant. The day of the shoot I was nervous again but my nerves vanished quickly and I was made to feed badass, sexy and completely comfortable surrounded by the team. Jo was amazing at making me feel comfortable in my skin. The shoot never felt rushed, we took our time and I felt pampered. I didn't expect to have as many photos taken as there was, which shows Jo really takes the time to get the perfect shot. I have never liked a photo of myself before, I can always zoom in on something about myself that I hate. When I had my first call with Ange I told her I was worried I'd be the first one of her clients to not like their photos. Ange vehemently promised that I would love them, she asked me to trust her. I'm so pleased I did! She was right. I loved every single one of them! On reveal day I was blown away. I bought each and every photo. I am so so pleased I went ahead with the shoot during a difficult time in my life, because I can look back at them now and see them as the beginning of a new, healthier, stronger chapter of my life. Johanna and her team are the epitome of women supporting women. I am so thankful I met them!
I was very lucky to win a shoot with Jo and the team in May and from consultation to the reveal session it exceeded my expectations. The team were all amazing at making me feel relaxed and maintaining my excitement! We were laughing the whole way through and just having normal chats which really helped the process. I came out of the shoot feeling so confident and empowered. I've recommended it to all of my friends and I'll continue to recommend it to anyone who needs a confidence boost. I love my photos, thank you so much!
An amazing experience provided by an amazing team. They completely understood the ‘who’ and the ‘why’ behind the person i am in front of the camera which meant that my pictures have topped the spot! I was stunned when i saw the pictures (and also grateful for the workout i got from posing!). Every effort is made to ensure you feel safe and secure and i absolutely was able to relax and just have fun. Really empowering environment and experience! If anything i love my body even more :)
Did my shoot last week with Jo and I'm so glad I did! She was so encouraging and comforting. Decided that turning 30 was a good reason to do one because when I'm 40 will i think 'I wish I did one when I was 30'? Just as I find myself thinking I wish I did one when I was 20 🤣 In other words, just do it! It is also a surprise gift for my husband and partner of 10 years. I brought his drum sticks along to make it personal
There are no words…I’m still in disbelief that this is really me in these photos! Is that really my bum?! Guess I’m doing all those squats for a reason 😂 The standing black and white image makes my heart sing. When I said I wanted to include my lifting belt in my shoot I got some funny reactions from people but not Jo. I love how powerful I feel when I do Strongwoman and this image gives me that powerful feeling softened with “oh wow is that really me?” I won my shoot through Instagram and I’m so, so glad I took a chance because this experience was exactly what Jo and the team said it would be. Empowering, beyond belief.
I recently decided to separate from my husband after feeling we had drifted apart over the last few years. I was on holiday with friends in September and saw the opportunity to win a photoshoot on Instagram and decided to enter. I’ve always wanted to do one but been very self conscious of my body for years. I am slowly learning to love myself though. Incredibly I won a shoot and it was the best experience and I would 100% recommend anyone to go for it. Jo and Ange are the loveliest ladies and make you feel so special and comfortable and confident. I was amazed by my photos and found it so hard to choose which ones to keep!! I never thought I would be so proud of my body 😊 I would recommend everyone has this experience once in their life. No matter how you feel about yourself, Jo will make you feel and look like a superstar!
From start to finish, my experience was outstanding. Ang is kind, personable, and welcoming. She will help you get excited, because you can tell she is truly excited for you. Jo is a firecracker, she knows what she's doing, she wants to help women feel sexy, and she delivers. I laughed so much during the shoot - I left on cloud 9. (Also, they know use amazing freelance makeup artists, shout out to Gemma, you're a star.) To all the plus size women reading this, DO NOT WAIT until you've "lost those few pounds" or "gone down a size" - DO NOT WAIT. Go now. You are already stunning, sexy, worthy, and these people will show you that.
An absolutely wonderful experience that genuinely made me feel a million times better about myself. Jo makes you feel so comfortable and at ease during the shoot, would definitely recommend to anyone having issues with self confidence!
I had the best experience with Johanna Elizabeth, they made me feel comfortable throughout the whole shoot, the photos came out absolutely stunning and made me love myself again. Their customer service is on point, they have helped me through every step and with any query I had. I highly recommend them
I came to Johanna and the team feeling unlike myself and needing a little boost… The shoot was an absolute dream and I felt so beautiful! Johanna and her team are so helpful and so easy to be relaxed around. I am absolutely in love with my pictures and I can’t thank you all enough for making me feel like a princess and portraying that in the final pictures! They have been put up in display in my bedroom and I love waking up to the reminder of empowerment every day! I hope to be able to do another shoot with you lovely lot very soon again! Thank you thank you!! xx
I’m on the train ride home from my reveal session and damn do I feel a rush of confidence. I can’t wait to get my images out again and look at them. I need to create a shrine for them at home. Ange made me feel so comfortable at the consultation, she helped me to consolidate my ideas with excitement and direction. The makeup artist was talented and professional I felt at ease and as someone with sensitive skin all the products were hypoallergenic. Jo is so incredible at directing you into flattering and powerful poses. You can put your full trust in her to push you and make you look your best. The overall experience was comfortable and enjoyable. And I’m happy with how my pictures turned out and how empowered and sexy I feel! Jo and I worked together to create some more editorial looks with the Assistance of props. I would definitely recommend this to personalise your shoot. Her adaptability and knowledge of her craft is apparent. All the ladies at Johanna Elizabeth come across as authentic , genuine and professional.Thank you!
I don't think anything I can say will fully do the team justice because they are simply phenomenal! From the first moment I went in for the consultation appointment Ange's bubbly personality made me feel at ease. I am plus sized and have quite a few concerns when it comes to my body however she was very understanding and settled a lot of the issues I was having. When it came to the shoot day I was a ball of nerves but once again Ange and Jo made me feel so comfortable and with their excitable energy it was hard not to be excited too. Throughout the whole shoot Jo was encouraging and friendly and I quickly found my confidence. We were constantly talking for the whole session and it made everything feel a lot less daunting than I initially thought it would be. The final photos almost made me cry because they were unbelievable and I couldn't believe it was actually me in the photos. It has made me appreciate my body more for what it is and I regularly look at the photos, especially when I need that confidence boost. And I've been showing off the photos to friends whenever I get the chance and their reactions are amazing. I cannot recommend this team and experience enough! Jo, Ange and Rachel aren't just a photography team, they are also magic workers and your own personal hype team all rolled into one and I can't thank them enough for everything they've done.
