This world is full of judgement and comparison, but the thing is, you are beautiful and uniquely created, and there is only ONE you out there in the whole world, and you deserve to celebrate this and finally see yourself.

Babies are seriously cute, but let’s be honest, having a baby can really change our bodies and feel like they have been put through the wringer! That’s why after your cutie babe has come into this world, it’s time for your to give yourself some TLC. Your body has changed and you might be having a hard time accepting your different body. But let me tell you, different doesn’t mean you aren’t still beautiful.

Embrace your battle scars and the changes you have gone through, because you your body has worked hard to nurture and grow a human being! And that is seriously incredible.

Woman to woman, I know it can feel intimidating to embrace who you are right now, when we have literally been programmed to judge ourselves and compare ourselves to the world’s standard of perfection. Sometimes we find ourselves wrapped up in a shell of negativity, that is becomes so hard to find our way out of it. If you walk away with anything after reading this, I hope it’s an encouragement that you are beautiful now. Regardless of what you’ve told yourself in the past, you are perfectly YOU and you’re more gorgeous than you can comprehend.

I’ve been photographing women for years now, and I can truly say, hand on heart, that the beauty and confidence boudoir photo shoots bring out in every woman I photograph, is nothing short of incredible!
