I have been having body image issues my entire life, but most recently due to aging.
Most people around me give positive compliments on a regular basis, however I have just been unable to see what they see.
It's also an issue when somebody close to me makes negative comments about my image.
I try to ignore those comments, nevertheless they have still gotten in my head…..
I love the time Melissa had taken to get to know me even before the session and ensuring we were a good fit for this journey.
The thing I was most nervous about in my session, is that I tend to freeze up or just transform (not in a good way) when I am in front of the camera.
I was also fearful that my self image of my flaws that I tend to focus on would come through even more magnified when in front of the camera,
but my favorite part was the laid back atmosphere and putting me at ease while helping me forget my body issues in the moment.
I did not know what to expect going into the reveal….
I was hoping for at least a few great images… wow I did not expect I would like so many!
I always have difficulty looking at my images as I am my own worst critic.
I definitely see through these photos that I do in fact have sex appeal and feel better about my aging process.
Of course I am a work in progress and still look for the flaws in my photos.
I do believe though that the more I view them, I am slowly seeing them for what they are and for what I am…..
GOAL….to eventually look at them and see FLAWLESS, FIERCE beauty.
Melissa is very down to earth, easy to talk to and work with.
More importantly she is about empowerment of women and promoting loving ourselves…including the flaws we see.
And thank you for sharing your own personal stories…
just a reminder that we all are going through or have gone through things in our life that shape us into who we are like it or not.
Thank you also for reminding me I need to love myself first, which will help keep negativity out of my head!
