As a child, I wasn't as confident and secure in myself as I am today.
From a young age I had a passionate desire to express myself through clothing, and I had learned early-on that most clothing stores did not carry my size. I grew up always wanting to be a smaller, skinnier version of myself not only to be able to fit into clothing I wanted to wear, but also because the world told me I had to if I wanted to be respected, loved, and feel beautiful.
However, I discovered, this was all a lie.
An illusion, created by society to dim my sparkle. My journey of self-love began when I learned how to sew, and I realized I could create all the clothing I had always dreamed of wearing. After I had finished my creations, I collaborated with Nicole for some fashion photography.
With each photoshoot, I gained more confidence and admiration for this body I had tried to make smaller in my youth. I adore my body now. I see every bump and curve, every stretchmark a story of who I am. I don't try to fit into places I do not belong, I happily stand out.
I have learned that confidence is a learned behavior, not a personality trait. Self-love can only be taught by practicing kindness to your body and treating yourself as a gift, not a burden.
We created this business to help other women gain confidence, and most importantly, to achieve self-love and recognize that they are already enough.
Learning to love yourself can be a difficult journey, but we want to help. 💗
Consider booking a photoshoot with us today, it is my personal goal to help you curate a look that truly feels like yourself and helps you see your own inner goddess. Let us bring you home to yourself through a whimsical photoshoot. 🩷
Here are some photos I absolutely adore of myself! Some are early adventures when Nicole and I first began collaborating! 🎀
