For the first time in my life, I LOVED myself. After I saw my images at my premier I was speechless. My jaw hit the floor. I was blushing and saying “that can’t be me!” “Holy Shit!!”. My husband was smiling the entire time, cause he knew that I finally was seeing what he sees. I was over the moon with joy at how my images turned out.
Steff gave us one of the best memories we will ever share together. I never had another woman in bed with my husband and I before but If I had to ever pick one, it would be Steff. She made us laugh. Omg did we laugh. Brian’s shirt, whispering and ruining moments, Brian saying something uncomfortably awkward. She made us feel comfortable that I actually was happy to have her in “our bed.” Dessa made me look like a god damn goddess that even I wanted to worship at my reveal. Jess was so sweet and seemed to like all of our photos as much as we did.
Was my body where I wanted it to be? Not even close. But it’s done some incredible things and it should be celebrated. If I’m totally honest, I booked my shoot fully anticipating that I would not like many of my pictures, which had absolutely nothing to do with Steffs work. After booking my shoot, I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to find the perfect outfit. The one that hid this, tucked that, covered there. I felt defeated and I most certainly did not feel sexy. I also felt like I had lost who I was.
