It's been a while since I got in front of the camera for such a big self portrait session. This session felt both good and weird at the same time. Loving our bodies is always a constant journey, and one I find I need to work doubly hard at when my body is going through a state of flux.. which is often.

Probably one of the last self portrait sessions before my breast reduction surgery in a couple weeks which is also a wild concept and idea to move through and hold myself gently for. The focus of this session + a reminder for this time of my life is to be gentle. Hold space. Surrender to what comes up and make peace with it. I can feel uncomfortable with certain photographs of my vessel while also holding space for myself and knowing that I am worthy in all stages. I can still choose to see these images as strong, beautiful, and powerful - even with the background noise of self doubt and insecurities. Because it's just that: background noise.

With love,
