Revealing Myself ~ atw Photography Boudoir

At only 33 years old you would think it would be easy to bear it all for the camera.. Let me tell you it was one of the scariest things I have ever done. After being a slim child and teenager I found myself not being able to shed the over 80 pounds I had kept on while being pregnant twice. After the loss of my first child I was immediatly pregnant with my now 14 year old daughter. Right after her birth I found myself at 190 pounds and at only 5’ tall it looks and feels like ALOT!

After trying everything to shed the pounds I was 20 years old and still 160 pounds.. I became bulimic and anorexic  .. I felt it was the only way to control my weight. I plummeted to 80 pounds in 8 months and still felt my body wasn’t good enough or thin enough…

Over the years I have learned that weight doesn’t matter if your with someone who loves you for you!

I wake up everyday doing what I love, being with people I love more than anything..

I look at the images taken of myself and think of how strong this woman is, how much she has been through and how everyday I can find something to smile about even through all the pain …and After many years of struggling with my weight issues I can finally say I am happy with the 110 pounds that I am .. wrinkles, stretch marks and all…!!

It was a great experience and I think every woman should do it!
