Rediscovering Confidence: A Client’s Journey to Self Love

It’s easy to put off doing something for ourselves. We tell ourselves, I’ll wait until I lose the weight, until I feel more confident, until the timing is perfect. But the truth is, confidence doesn’t come from waiting—it comes from doing. And sometimes, taking the leap is exactly what we need to rediscover the version of ourselves that’s been there all along.

One of my incredible clients shared her story, and it’s too powerful not to pass along. In July 2024, she stepped in front of my camera despite years of avoiding photos. She had never been the type to take selfies or post pictures of herself, but after having babies, her friends encouraged her to try a session as a way to reconnect with her body and rediscover the sensual, confident woman she had always been.

At first, she hesitated. She wanted to wait until she lost more weight. At 220 lbs, she worried she wouldn’t love what she saw. But after a tough breakup, she decided to stop waiting and go for it.

From the moment she arrived, we focused on making her feel comfortable, strong, and in control. Before she even saw the final images, she felt something shift. She felt beautiful. Empowered. And when she received her gallery? She couldn’t believe the woman in those photos was her—the same person she saw in the mirror every day.

That moment of realization was more than just about photos. It was about confidence. It was about seeing herself through a different lens, one that wasn’t clouded by self-doubt. And that feeling? It carried into every part of her life.

This is why I do what I do. This is why I encourage every woman to step in front of my camera, no matter where she is in her journey. You don’t need to change a thing about yourself to be worthy of feeling powerful and confident. You just need to take the leap.

Are you ready to see yourself in a whole new way? Let’s make it happen.
