Hey men, if you’re 21+ and are comfortable in your un**es, we need you. 😆

We are cooking up something a little silly and a lot fun. We are working closely with Kristina Diane Photography to bring our vision of an Inspiration Brewing Company calendar to life, with a fun twist- each month features a "dudeoir" photo of a man or masc individual, all photos taken on site at the brewery. It's a big vision, and we are so excited to take it on. Any volunteer models would be compensated with laughs, body positivity, a copy of your photo, and a copy of the finished product.
We are still ironing out details, but if you or someone you know is interested, let us know to be added to the list! Ideally we need 12 participants, and we want to make sure we'll have the interest!

About the one calling the shots. 📸

“I would never.”
“She doesn’t respect herself.”
“My significant other/partner/spouse would be pissed.”
“I could never let them.”
“She has no morals.”

At ten years old I started hating and comparing my body to the other girls at school. I thought I was fat, when in reality, I was tall and thin with gorgeous long, dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. Into my teens, doctors had said that I was perfectly proportioned, yet I didn’t feel it. My thighs were fat, my chest was flat, and I wanted badly to have the confidence in a two piece bathing suit and belly shirt like it looked like my friends had.

I didn’t just one day think negatively of myself. It was slowly learned over the first decade of my life. Women were supposed to be skinny and beautiful. I watched my mom drink Diet Pepsi, eat Snackwells, and cover herself up at the pool. She never once enforced that I needed to be skinny, but I still saw how she reacted to her own body.

Every decade or so, we all naturally look back at pictures of ourselves and wish we had realized how good we actually looked compared to now, and we’d give anything have it back. In ten years from now we’ll do the same. If we know this, why aren’t we enjoying and appreciating our bodies now?

I started taking self portraits of myself in 2017/2018 in the height of an abusive relationship. Never n**es. Never too much skin. He wouldn’t have allowed that. I cringe at how I allowed that man any access to me.

After I left, a new found world of freedom, creativity, self exploration, and confidence was stowed upon myself. My attire significantly changed into what I had always wanted to wear but was too insecure to, and I didn’t care if people didn’t like it. It’s turns out that people really did, and to this day I am complimented on my style. I’m not even sure what style that is exactly.

Shortly after, I explored semi n**e and n**e self photography. I dabbled a little in my 20s, but my god, what would people think if they saw them back then?! That was in a time where social media barely existed. Instagram has opened up many artists to their true form now.

I get questioned and criticized occasionally for sharing my body. Even when areas are blurred. How could I possibly be comfortable with it? Aren’t I worried what others think or might do with my photos? What might a significant other think, if they would even want someone who everyone can look at? I must have no morals and zero self respect. In fact, I have a lot. They are just different than yours. That doesn’t make them wrong or bad. I’ve also dated some good men who loved and supported my art.

I see my body; every body as art.
I see that 10 year old girl who once hated every inch of her skin and didn’t deserve to feel that way about herself.
I see looking back on today in ten years elated that I had the confidence to document a body that I will never see in its exact form again.

Maybe you don’t want to be reminded of your younger body, or photograph it, and that’s okay. But just because you wouldn’t, doesn’t mean that others shouldn’t.

Thus, the world we live in today.

“Why do photographers charge so much?” 📸

Ah yes… my favorite question.

You’re not paying for an hour.

You’re paying for:

- The 1,000 photos I take so you can get the 10 where everyone’s eyes are open.
- Me saying, “ok but like… don’t be awkward,” and then magically fixing it anyway.
- 6–20 hours of editing and removing pimples, flyaways, and that wrinkly shirt you were asked not to wear.
- 2–3 hours of me aggressively judging my work.
- My emotional support commentary of “STOP! That was cute, do it again.”

Also included:

- Gear that costs more than my will to live.
- Subscriptions for editing software I can’t escape.
- Domain and website costs.
- Planning that often consists of scouting multiple locations prior to the session.
- Gas, emails, rescheduling because weather happens.

So no… you’re not paying for pictures.
You’re paying for a photographer, editor, web designer, hype person, problem solver, and part-time magician. ❤️
