Our bodies change throughout our lives for many different reasons in many different ways. When Gayle came to visit us, she had gone through a huge number of changes in her body after suffering with the life-threatening illness Scleroderma. Her condition is very rare, and can affect the skin, immune system and even the internal organs. For Gayle, this meant a lot of joint pain and fatigue on a daily basis, similar to the effects of fibromyalgia and rheumatism. The illness caused her to lose a huge amount of weight, and went on to affect her skin, causing her face to change in a big way after her skin shrunk. This lead to a huge knock to Gayle’s confidence, and sometimes she even struggled to look in the mirror. She found Andrew Wood Photography when she was looking for a boost to regain her confidence and get back to her old self. She’d always fancied giving a boudoir shoot a go, and though Gayle felt nervous at first, she couldn’t wait to get started! Watch the video to find out what happened next…
