Boudoir is for the insecure

Never in a million years did I see myself doing something like boudoir. But let me tell you this, boudoir has done amazing things for me. Healed me in ways I never thought possible. I�ve been given an opportunity that one person could only begin to dream of. So many people have told me that they did not know if they could do what I do. They don�t know if they are brave enough to pose in front of a camera like that.

What they don�t know, is everything that they could gain from taking a leap of faith and just deciding to do it.

As I�ve gone through my journey as a Brand Ambassador for Zealous Stills, I�ve come to some realizations and thought I might share them with the rest of the world. It only seems fitting for me to do so.

I am enough. Boudoir helped me realize that I am enough.

In everything that I do.
Through the community.
Through my friends.

It pulled something out of me that I cannot even begin to explain.
I find myself not needing an explanation either.
I am enough as I am.
I don�t need to be anything in particular to be accepted in society. There are no stipulations placed upon me by anyone or anything.

I AM WORTHY.

Boudoir helped me see that I have value. I am worthy of love, I am worthy of being celebrated. I am worthy of eating the food that makes me happy. Even if that means it�s not the �best� food for me. When looking through my photos I don�t feel like I�m viewing myself. I feel like I�m viewing a princess worthy of everything good in this life.

I am safe.

And at that, I am a safe space for anyone to come to when they need it. But I am safe in myself. I can rely on me to stay that way. Something I have always struggled feeling. Boudoir helped me see this by opening up my heart space. It also brought me people who needed to be heard. And I�m so damn proud to say that I don�t need anyone to do that for me anymore.

I am free.

Free from the judgement of others.

What they think or say about me or what I�m doing, especially with boudoir, is absolutely none of my business.

I am free to be exactly who I am. Unapologetically me, if you will.

I am free to take up space in this world. No one can tell me that I can�t.

Boudoir has helped me relieve the stress of someone else�s opinion by giving me the strength to see the beauty in myself. An untouchable force that is new in my life. I am grateful. I�m so incredibly honored and blessed to have been chosen to be a Brand Ambassador for Zealous Stills. I�m grateful every single day that I was picked to share how powerful Boudoir can be. I�m grateful for the friends that I have made through Boudoir. And I�m so grateful to have a platform to share the strength that I have found in myself through the Boudoir community.

I can rely on myself for that strength, but there is so much comfort in women supporting women. I decided to set my insecurities aside, and take the leap of faith into modeling for Zealous Stills because I needed a change. I needed to see me differently. Modeling for Zealous Stills is so much more than just modeling. Its finding me again. It�s falling in love with who I am or have been. It�s getting up at the ass crack of dawn to make some really amazing art for the entire world to see. It�s hard work. It can be exhausting. But it�s also exhilarating.
