Honestly, I was so nervous at first. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel in front of the camera. But the photographer’s energy was pure magic. She hyped me up, guided me throughout the entire process, and made me feel like I was on top of the world.
I’m in my 40s now, a mother of three, and my body has changed. In a society that constantly tells women to shrink, erase their imperfections, and chase unattainable standards, choosing to celebrate my body as it feels like a radical act of self-love. This photoshoot was my way of reclaiming my power, honoring everything my body has been through, and embracing the beauty of exactly where I am at this moment. It was a really empowering experience for me.
I walked out of that studio feeling alive, powerful, and absolutely on fire. The photographer knew exactly how to bring out my confidence, capturing me in a way that made me feel sexy, radiant, and unapologetically me. I am beyond grateful for this experience, and I already know this won’t be my last shoot.
If you’ve ever thought about doing a shoot for yourself – DO IT.
