The retouched photographs from WEO Studio

This is a personal record from the original publication date. Food, exercise, weight, and procedure experiences describe one person’s circumstances, rather than current treatment recommendations or guaranteed outcomes.

WEO Studio's colors and rendering of skin texture are so beautiful. I had never imagined this pose before arriving, but the photographer guided me into it.

Originally, this was the only pose I had planned. It is usually done with one leg on a desk, but apparently a desk had broken during an earlier shoot, so we did it on the floor instead.

Engage the abdomen, draw in the rib cage, push the hips back, and point the toes—it was a difficult pose. I wore a studio top with white organza. It was lovely, and it turned out to be from ZARA.

Yebin joined the shoot too. She brought her favorite red-panda soft toy and was delighted to pose with it. I hope it becomes a good memory for you.

I had wanted to shoot together at Flynn, but they did not allow children or animals in joint shoots. WEO said this was their first children's shoot. They said this scene would look better with lots of snacks scattered around, so I bought a few more to add to the studio's supply.

The photographer arranged all the other poses.

She explained exactly where to put my toes, how to stand sideways, the shape of my mouth, and where to look. She took so many photographs. She was kind and talented.

I waited three months for the retouched photos. By the time they arrived I had almost forgotten them; I received them on the day of my second body-profile shoot!

At 41, I achieved this goal. I am so proud. Accomplishing it makes me want to set and achieve another goal.

At 42, perhaps I will write a book, make a record, or become a blogger. Another challenge—and another body-profile shoot to help me stay on track.
