As weird as it sounds, my disabilities were a driving factor in booking my session. I wanted to capture my strength & beauty in this body because I don’t know when it’s going to change. I wanted to celebrate how far I’ve come.
I’ve always struggled with body dysmorphia. I’m not confident in my own skin normally. I pretty much felt like I was too big to be pretty, if that makes sense. I was worried about showing my stretch marks, scars, & medical devices. I thought they would detract from the overall beauty in the photos. I was also scared of anything showing my stomach. I was scared I had to many visible flaws and that I wouldn’t be able to produce a good photo.
I have multiple chronic illnesses and my body has been through a barrage of testing, surgeries, treatments, etc. My body because something separate from myself. This session helped me bring the 2 back together. It helped me see myself as more than just a patient, more than illnesses. The shoot helped me realize how strong I was, scars and all. Anytime I’m not feeling myself, I just go back to the pictures to remind myself how freaking hot I am.
I was scared too. Do it scared. You’re never going to feel completely ready and there’s no “right time” to do this. Don’t wait for some arbitrary reason, and just take the plunge. It reinforced that I need to start giving myself more kindness & to do more things that are just for me. It’s ok to put yourself first.
My group on Facebook is focused on empowering women. We laugh, makes jokes, support each other, and take pride in who we are as women.
