One of the biggest objections I get from women is 'I'm afraid to book a session because I am plus size'. No matter how many times I have heard this in my boudoir career, it always makes me sad. I'll tell you a secret. YOUR SIZE DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL! Want proof? Somehow, I knew you would.
Meet one of my newest models Kandii. When I booked Kandii's session with her I had NO IDEA the fun this girl would be. I could tell when we began that she was nervous. As I stood there giving her a few instructions before her session she nervously listened, arms crossed in front of her covering her beautiful self. I knew I had some work to do to make this beautiful girl see her worth and just how beautiful she was.
We started shooting and the more Kandii allowed herself to be vulnerable with me and the more she listened more to my words instead of the dialogue going on in her head telling her she wasn't good enough, something magical happened. I watched this girl do a 180 right in front of me.
I saw her face change when she began to believe and trust me when I said she was beautiful and right before my eyes she began to see it for herself. It was honestly one of the best moments of my career. That girl came out of her shell in a way I have never seen. All of the sudden being plus size didn't even matter anymore! She knew she was beautiful no matter what that scale said because of WHO SHE WAS. When she let that shine through the result was nothing short of incredible.
Worried because maybe your weight isn't where you want it to be? Friend, the answer is not to deprive yourself of beautiful experiences because you feel your body isn't 'good enough'. Love your body where it is and if you want something about it to change, you alone have the power to do that. But never let it keep you from loving who you are. Love who you are and work towards who you want to become. It's a journey friend, and we're here for it.
