Body Positivity after Motherhood: My Empowering Boudoir Photo Shoot Experience

First off I just want to say thanks. I felt so comfortable and safe doing this photo shoot. I can not express how much I appreciate the professionalism and comfort I experienced.

I have had a lot life changes in the past year or 2. I decide to put my mental health first. The kids and animals are loved and they are getting more independent and as mothers we put ourselves last because we care. I understand the guilt it causes to allow yourself these changes and I am so happy I had the support and love from my friends whom are more family to me than anything. I wanted to do this photo shoot to show myself the woman I am through all the heart break, trauma and lack of confidence I have had.

My COVEN as I call them are amazing women from all walks of life that I not only enjoy talking and giggling with but have learned from. They have taught me empathy, self-love, working hard when you feel at a loss and most importantly that they care not just for me but my kids and crazy loud dogs. They have seen me though divorce, deaths and my loss of self without judgement. I have not felt better about my body and mind since ever. I love that I have the war scars of motherhood and now the confidence to show off these amazing pictures with pride.

I feel sexier now than I did in my 20's before kids and I want to let my daughter know that no matter what we feel about ourselves we are beautiful strong women even in our most vulnerable state of mind. Speaking of vulnerabilities, we should embrace those more. It is not a sign of weakness as we have been told but a sign of strength that we can allow ourselves to feel.

The feminine mind is amazing and should be embraced in softness and in strength with our ever-flowing emotions which are all normal and healthy. So as anyone who identifies as a woman, love yourself through good and bad times. Support those who support you with the same compassion as you received and sometimes more for those who have a hard time letting go
