Getting over your divorce can be really hard to do, but there are some mood lifting activities that can help you gain confidence and truly move on.
One fun and exciting activity is to get a make over. Not just any make over, but a make over with a photo shoot. Sometimes it can be hard to see the vibrant sexual being that you really are. Maybe you've gained weight after having children, maybe you've lost weight after your divorce and feel too thin. Maybe you just don't feel like you deserve to be sexy. Whatever your feelings, whatever your shape, you're going to feel better after a make over and a photo shoot.
Take a trip to the nearest mall that has a Glamor Photography Studio or book a spot at one of your local boudoir photographers. Yes, they exist in even the smallest towns. Make sure you pick someone who does private shots, and handles the make up, hair, and clothing choices as well. An outsider can make sure your shots look sexy, trust them, they're professional. Make absolutely sure you pick someone who is reputable, honest, and respectful of you. More than likely if they're spending money on a staff to do hair, make up and clothing, they are legit. If you're worried find a friend to go with you. Maybe you can get a deal for two.
The great thing about this type of make over is that it is temporary, you're not getting a short hair cut that will take years to grow back out, you're not getting ink injected under your skin that is permanent, and best of all it is private, it is just for you. You don't have to show the pictures to anyone if you don't want to. If you enjoy the photos you can frame them and put them on the wall in your bedroom, which should be reserved for only the most special people.
With Glamor Shots you make an appointment that normally takes about 4 hours. Bring along about four changes of clothing, they also offer props, clothing and accessories but bringing along what you have that makes you feel good will help them get to know you better.
If you choose a private photographer what happens varies depending on that particular photographer but expect the shoot to take most of the day if not all day. Sometimes the private photographer will request a meeting prior to your shoot day to discuss your goals and desires.
Go to your appointment with no make up and clean hair, make sure you got a great night's sleep, and your skin is hydrated and moisturized. You want to have clear eyes and be well rested to have the best pictures possible.
Allow the professionals to choose how to fix your hair and do your make up. Tell them to surprise you, tell them why you're doing this as it will help and encourage them with the direction to take. During the photo shoot let go, follow their instructions and trust them. They want your pictures to come out good because they want you to buy a lot of them. They know what they are doing. Let them do it.
Even if you cannot afford to buy a large package of your pictures, when you see how great you look you're going to feel so much better about yourself, about your life, and about the possibilities for the future and you deserve it.
