Beyond the Lens: A Body Acceptance Journey

“Well worth the price and a life long friendship you gain just in one day!”

Our bodies tell an incredible story of strength and sacrifice, especially after bringing life into the world. It’s an act of profound love to give so much of ourselves to our families, but it can also be tough to feel at home in a body that has changed so much. But what if I told you that you have the power to impact how you see yourself after all that change? Today, we’re honoring a remarkable client’s body acceptance journey, a powerful story that proves self-love is an ongoing process, and a boudoir session can be a beautiful part of it.”

My client, a mom of five, shared her most vulnerable concern: ‘My body after having my 5th child. I’m not use to seeing myself in a different size.’ This is a sentiment so many women carry, but she has courageously chosen to face it head-on. She beautifully describes her experience, saying, ‘Cassy always makes you feel better about yourself.’ The fact that this is her second boudoir shoot with me speaks volumes. As she puts it, ‘Cassy captures classy beautiful pictures,’ a testament to the consistency and trust built over time
