| I never knew I had mystery inside. |
If you asked me to describe myself, I would always say I was a little funny looking. I'm far from petite or graceful and - let's not mince words - overweight.
But Michael showed me a part of myself that was strong, passionate, and, yes, beautiful. I learned a valuable lesson that day:
I no longer could justify my self-loathing.
I wish everyone could have the experience of working with a gifted and empathic photographer. I wish you could discover the parts of yourself that you do not see.
So glad you could have such a positive experience and that it brought about new realizations and healing. :) Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is amazing how much energy goes into hating yourself. Unpacking that baggage has been some of the most rewarding work of my life. :)
DeleteYay you! Three years ago this coming February I did a Boudoir photo shoot with a professional photographer ( a woman who specializes in boudoir photography). It was one of the most affirming experiences I've ever had.
ReplyDeleteUsually, women see photographs of themselves as reason to hate themselves. It is a true joy when it is used as a tool for healing and insight! :)
DeleteThe camera is a funny thing. I shoot houses for my day job and I'm always surprised what the camera sees that I didn't. Angles, lighting, objects, mood, all of it can change with just a few inches of different perspective between my eye and the camera lens. But then, it's always about perspective, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThat photo is beautiful as are you!
ReplyDeleteD'awwww!
