Jumping Out of my Comfort Zone

I will be the first to admit I am not always comfortable in my own skin. I am pretty hard on myself about the way my body looks sometimes. And although I think a woman's body during pregnancy and after are something to be amazed at, it goes through some radical changes... Especially after three children. The thought of taking budoir style photos was a bit intimidating to me.


However, my experience with budoir and working with Ashley definitely made me change my mind about the whole idea. This was a way for me to jump out of my comfort zone and celebrate my body just the way it is.


I think it makes a difference when you feel comfortable with the photographer during the shoot. We had champagne and talked through our vision for the shoot.  I didn't want the typical lace and pearls. I wanted cozy and I think it came out through these beautiful photos.
