Permission to Feel Beautiful
Did you know that only 2% of women say they feel beautiful?
That’s according to worldwide research done by Dove in 2006, and it only increased to 4% when they followed up in 2010.
That’s just not ok.
I’m here to turn that upside down.
What’s clear is that women have gotten the message that either it’s not ok to admit to feeling beautiful or that they really feel that they are not enough.
And neither is ok.
While it’s ultimately up to you to give yourself permission to feel beautiful and worthy, sometimes it helps to hear it from someone else, so…
I’m here to give you permission to feel beautiful.
I’m giving you permission to feel worthy.
I’m giving you permission to feel like you are enough.
From my corner of the world that is my studio and this blog, know that you are loved, you are accepted for exactly who you are and whatever you’ve been through does not take away from your inherent worth and beauty.
Boudoir as a way to connect to your beauty
As a boudoir photographer, I use my camera and my knowledge of lighting and posing to create a space where you can experience your own beauty reflected back to you.
It’s an extraordinary way to experience yourself in a new light. Literally.
A boudoir session allows you to explore the inherent beauty in your form, your body.
Exactly as it is now.
You are your own standard of beauty.
You are not beautiful compared to anyone else.
Your beauty is not dependent on anything.
What you are, is beautiful. Period.
Every Body is Beautiful
I want to you to really hear me on this one:
Every body is beautiful.
No questions, no ifs ands or buts.
Every shape, every size, every color, every stage, every age, every ability is beautiful.
Wanna know why?
Because you are alive.
That’s a blasted miracle.
Did you know that there’s a 1 in 400 Trillion chance of being born as a human in this day and age?
You are a living, breathing miracle with the opportunity to fully experience being human.
And here, that is celebrated.
That is beautiful.
You are beautiful.
Still don’t believe me?
I’m always here to answer questions, talk through hesitations and doubts and to be your biggest cheerleader. Please don’t hesitate to send me a message and let’s start a conversation. This will always be a place of non-judgment and no question is silly, stupid, or not worth asking.
