I almost didnāt do this session for myself.
The outfit I had planned was lace, see through, vulnerableā¦ and after having my third baby, I havenāt really been feeling like me lately. My body has changed, Iāve gained weight, and for a while I convinced myself I should wait until I felt ābetterā before stepping in front of the camera again.
But then I thoughtā¦ how can I ask my clients to be raw, vulnerable, and step outside their comfort zones if Iām too scared to do the same?
So I did it anyway. Nervous, uncomfortable, doubting myself the entire time.
And Iām so glad I did.
Not only did I capture beautiful photos with my last baby, but I documented this season exactly as it is. The softness. The changes. The way motherhood has shaped me. The way my baby looks at me right now.
These photos arenāt about having the āperfectā body. Theyāre about being present. About existing in the memories instead of hiding behind the camera waiting for the day I feel worthy enough.
One day my children wonāt see the weight I gained or the things I pick apart about myself. Theyāll just see their mum. Loving them completely.
And honestlyā¦ I think thatās worth documenting. š¤
