Are you ready to change how you feel about yourself in photos?
Welcome to the WomenVisible Project
"I was blown away! I felt empowered and proud of myself."
You absolutely can have photos of yourself that you love (even if that's never happened before).
Can You Relate To This?
- Avoiding being in photos
- 'Pre-ruining' pictures by clowning around
- Never feeling like they capture how you think you look
- 'laughing off' how you look, but deep down feeling disappointed
- Feeling generally unphotogenic
?
We hear you.
There are many different routes to not liking yourself in photos and they all lead to the same destination - avoiding the camera.
This makes total sense...until there are no photos of you, and you still hate being in front of the camera.
Our solution?
A tried and tested process that quietly guides you past the camera fear, and into:
1. actually being photographed
2. liking the results
Knowing you can look good in photos doesn’t mean you always do.
It just means you stop caring so much when you don’t.
(And let's be honest here - if you can do this the next 'awkward family photo' is going to be a breeze).
This works even if:
- you're not confident
- you don't know how to pose
- you're pretty sure a good photo of you is essentially impossible
I'm Anna Smart, and, together with my husband Robin, I have an award-winning, Oxfordshire body confidence boudoir studio.
Back in 2021 I created the WomenVisible Project after years of seeing how often women feel unheard and invisible.
The project exists to take women’s voices and amplify them – putting your unique confidence journey and experiences together, to resonate with, and inspire other women.
Come and be part of a movement of real women who feel they are positively reconnecting with themselves.
For 2026 we’re expanding how women can take part.
From now on, there’s a built-in words-only participation option - no images shared by default.
This is especially for women working in schools, healthcare, the armed forces, or other public-facing roles…
but also for anyone who wants to keep their images just for themselves.
Because being visible should always be on your terms.
This year’s initial body confidence themes are:
- Perimenopause
- Post weight loss
- Body changes due to illness/injury
- Never look good in photos
- Long term lack of body confidence
Anna and her team made me feel completely at ease. Viewing the photos was a revelation—I loved every image and left with a renewed self-appreciation.
Such a great experience beginning with a chat with Anna, followed by an amazing & empowering session in front of the camera (I’m always behind it) with Robin & Krystina. Wrapping the whole experience up with a highly emotional viewing with Anna who is simply lovely, kind & reassuring. Such a brilliant team giving me confidence & direction seamlessly, I felt really natural doing something so out of my comfort zone, it felt like therapy, a workout & was good for the soul.I couldn’t believe all the incredible images of a strong, independent, sassy woman set out before me were all little old me. Incredibly difficult to choose, was like the most bizarre game of Play Your Cards Right!Highly recommend Smart Photography
I am absolutely blown away from my whole experience! Anna, Robin and Kristina are true professionals who make the photo shoot all about you and take into consideration all your personal preferences with regard to personality, confidence and poses. Any nerves and anxieties soon ease and you fall into relax mode. For most, I would imagine this is a once in a lifetime experience. Seize the moment, trust in the team and absolutely go for it. You will not be disappointed! The photos that Robin captured are a range of beautiful, classy, sexy and risqué, an eclectic mix of everything I wanted, and so much more. I loved every moment from start to finish and can't wait to show the world and say 'look at me!'
Another brilliant session at this studio. An enjoyable experience from start to finish with a portfolio at the end of it that, like the one I'd had done a couple of years ago, was life-enhancing. The make up and hair by Holly was perfect and Robin is a very talented photographer. The studio is driven by a strong ethos to help women feel good about themselves which is obvious when you speak to Anna. Shared with friends who responded with jaw-dropping amazement. I mean I scrub up OK generally but...
Need a boost - do this! Always been tempted but never quite brave enough - do this! Don’t believe it when you get told you’re gorgeous- do this! Don’t believe you’re gorgeous - definitely, definitely do this! A fab team, totally professional and 100% brilliant at making you feel comfortable doing something that certainly doesn’t come naturally to most of us 😆 Top tips: 1. Believe Anna 2. Do what Robin tells you - it’s easy, especially with the help of your stylist (I had Kristina & she was awesome) 3. Be prepared to LOVE your photos!! DO IT!
Would definitely recommend this, didn’t expect to give me the boost to be myself again and to finally see how others saw me. Still got the confidence from doing it and will hopefully carry the feeling
Never thought I would ever go through with a Boudoir Photoshoot. something inside me was determined to do it. With so much support from Anna, Robin and Kristina my anxiety of having this photoshoot dimmed. I'm still getting my head around how gorgeous I apparently am and the beauty of my body. The photos I have been assured are me not just by Anna and everyone but by my friends as well. it's odd to see in a photo what other people see of you everyday (but fully clothed). it has certainly helped me start to see who I am as a person. thank you so much Anna, Robin and Kristina, I honestly could not have done this whole experience without you.
It gave me the confidence in front of the camera that I hadn't found up to that point!🥰
Most amazing, exhausting, professional experience! I don’t know how to praise the team highly enough. Was totally out of my comfort zone but never made to feel uncomfortable. Robin is so focused on getting the right shot that you kind of forget that you might feel awkward and just respond to the direction. Showing me some of the early shots and reassuring me that uneven skin tones would be evened out gave me faith so I just did as I was told 🤣
When I got divorced 5 years ago, I always promised myself a Boudoir session, but never got round to it until now. Then a few weeks ago I saw the Facebook ad for the project on women who were 50 and over. In the spur of a moment I completed the form…and click…sent it off. The whole team are amazing; Robin the photographer with a keen eye as to what makes a good image; Kristina, the stylist with her box of magic; and then there is Anna, the front woman whose gift is her warmth, her understanding and engaging manner. I love all my images and I absolutely adore the slideshow. It made me feel like a “Goddess”. Thank you, thank you, thank you Robin, Anna and Kristina xx

“I was very nervous to see the photos in case I was the one person that didn’t look good and that I was right to dislike my body.
It was a shock to see all the beautiful, amazing photos – and that it was me!
I have since noticed myself standing straight and walking confidently with my head up. This is the final step in my very long journey to recover from my anxiety and learn to like myself for who I am, and see that I am worthy.
Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to heal in such an incredible way x”
