It's no secret that I'm a boudoir photographer. That's why you're here reading this after all! But what many people don't know is why? So, let's talk about my "why!"
A little bit of my story
Hey there, fabulous human! Let's talk about the rollercoaster ride of insecurities and self-discovery, shall we?
The Chronicles of My Body Odyssey
Picture this: a self-proclaimed member of the "thicker side" club, with curves that could probably write a novel of their own. My stomach? Let's just say it never got the memo about the flat tummy trend. The only time I fit into a size 2 was in a parallel universe where I was a pint-sized fashionista at the age of 6!
High school shenanigans? Oh, you bet! While others frolicked in the regular section, I had my VIP pass to the plus-size realm. And guess what? Acne decided to crash the party, uninvited! Cue the birth control prescription, weight gain, and the infamous freshman 15 cameo appearance. It was like a sitcom of insecurities and unexpected plot twists!
Mommy Makeover: The Unfiltered Edition
Fast forward to the baby-making chapter. I somehow managed to defy height logic during pregnancy, going from 5'3" to 5'4". Miracles do happen, folks! But let's not forget the cesarean touchdown, leaving me with a "mommy tummy" souvenir pack. Stretch marks, saggy bits, and the fupa – a portable pillow in disguise! Single mom status? Check. Cue the dramatic music for the full-blown mom bod saga!
Enter the era of body mirrors banishment, yoga pants uniform, and oversized tops camouflage strategy. Until one fateful morning, when lingerie and a sprinkle of confidence led to a boudoir shoot epiphany. Behold, the raw beauty revelation! Stretch marks became storytellers, scars turned into badges of survival, and the fupa? Well, it became a quirky sidekick in the grand tale of self-acceptance.
The Empowerment Quest
Embracing my body became a revolutionary act. Each scar, stretch mark, and freckle told a chapter of my unique story. Suddenly, the flaws transformed into features, the insecurities into strengths. And just like that, the mission to empower other women through boudoir photography was born!
< Oh hey! That's me!
What Boudoir Photography Means to Me
Let's shed some light on the misconception surrounding Boudoir Photography, shall we?
Boudoir Photography isn't just about sexy photos. It's about celebrating the beauty and strength of every woman, no matter her journey.
The survivor who's reclaiming her body after trauma
The mom embracing her post-baby body with all its marks of love
The warrior finding beauty in her scars and stretch marks
The fighter overcoming illness or medical conditions
The hero who served her country and wants to feel gorgeous again
The woman who wants to surprise her husband with a special gift just for him
And the list could go on and on
Every woman has a unique story written on her body, and Boudoir Photography is all about capturing and celebrating that story. It's a reminder that beauty comes in all forms, and self-love is the most empowering journey of all!
