A moment of reflection

If you asked me 10 years ago to try to attempt a self portrait session like this I would have immediately said no, for the fear of how others and myself would judge me.  I’m great behind the camera, not so much in-front of it. 10 kgs heavier now and still not confident I decided to practice what I preach to all the other woman around me. Power and self love. After decades of eating disorders and body issues, while I wasn’t at all comfortable taking these, found it hard to edit and see myself objectively like I would a clients images, I came away with one truth: I am PROUD of my body. Carrying, birthing and feeding babies, keeping my soul safe. This body literally grew life and I’m eternally grateful. Do I still have days where I don’t love what I see in the mirror; everyday. Do I let it eat away at my self worth; never again. So for everyone struggling with body image, I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone. As you can gain beautiful new perspectives from challenging your internal beliefs.
