The ideology of “a safe space for intimacy leads to empowerment” is what I base my boudoir experiences around. I thrive to make sure each experience is catered to the individual.
Each experience is designed to build self confidence, we achieve this by celebrating all the bits and pieces that make you uniquely you.
I would love to say that when you work with me that I can make you love yourself more, that I can take away all your self uncertainties, and that I can empower you. But I cannot do that. Only you can do those things for yourself.
…However…
I can help you reframe how you think about yourself
I can help quite the voices that say you aren’t good enough
I can be part of your journey to self acceptance and empowerment
I can help remove barriers
We aren’t empowered just because we do a boudoir photoshoot, we are empowered because we give ourselves the space to be unapologetically ourselves.
The short answer, because society sucks.
Society tells us that our self worth is directly related to how closely our outward appearance and life choices lines up with what is considered ideal. Which is a load of crap if you ask me. The numbers on the scale or ruler, who you love, or how you choose to live has zero pull on how worthy you are to be and feel loved and accepted. Or at least it shouldn’t.
I want to be part of the change.
I want little old me to be part of something bigger, something that tells society to go screw themselves and embrace that our worth isn’t up for discussion.
Our worth isn’t defined by what box we fit in (or not in).
It so easy for us to loose our identity, I know I’ve lost mine a time or two, it isn’t fun. It can leave us in a dark place where finding the way out can feel impossible. It was that experience that drew me back to photography, and it was through photography and body positivity that I found my identity again.
My mission is to be part of your journey in embracing your bits and pieces. Each time we embrace part of what makes us unique we fuel or confidence and empowerment. And as that fire burns brighter and hotter we solidify our own voice, we radiate who we are instead of being pulled into the identity society chooses for us.
I want you to know,
I see you.
I hear you.
I want you to feel your worth.
That is my why, that and because society sucks.
