My Why.
Throughout my teenage years I, like most girls, had a low body image and self esteem. I remember looking in the mirror feeling disgusted at my body. In fact, for a while I suffered with eating disorders & it took me a long time to stop my daily body shaming. I never, ever felt Sexy & almost didn't want to. I was scared of what it would mean. I was scared of how I would be treated & viewed differently. But deep inside me I had the burning desire to be fierce, confident & sexy. Since I have started talking openly about this, I have come to learn that this desire I so, SO common.
I have always had a passion for helping people- both emotionally & practically. I remember being the girl who people (even complete strangers) would confide in & I thrived on it. However, I never took the time to look after myself. Not properly.
Photography became a passion very early on in life & I am extremely proud, honoured and lucky to put two of my biggest passions together & help change people's lives.
Around 2015 I wanted to begin offering Boudoir and Beauty Portraiture to women. Right from the very beginning my mission was to empower women of all shapes & sizes. I want them to see how truly beautiful they really are but I felt somehow held back. It was only in 2017 that I realised I couldn't truly help other woman when I didn't embrace or love my own body. So I'm learning to love my body. You know how I'm doing it? I started practicing my boudoir and beauty poses in the mirror!! That alone boosted my confident 10 fold. Then I started wearing sexy lingerie. No one else even knew, let alone judged. I wasn't ashamed. It wasn't actually the end of the world. I still have a way to go with loving my self 100%, but I am certainly on the right path. I finally feel like I am ready to truly empower women.
