Let's talk about finding joy in the beautiful vessel that carries us through life – our bodies! It's so easy to get caught up in comparing ourselves to the past or chasing after an idealized version of who we used to be. I’ve done this my whole life - comparing myself and my body now to past (younger/thiner/etc) versions of it. But you know what? Right here, right now, is where our true power lies – in the present moment! I’m so ready to break that cycle, and I hope you are too.

A journey of self-love and self-acceptance through self-portraits

The journey of finding self love and self-acceptance is definitely not always easy, and can at times seem insurmountable, but it can lead to feeling safe, comfortable, and empowered in your own skin. We all deserve to feel fully ourselves, and loved and accepted for exactly who we are, right here and right now.

I encourage myself to consciously choose to focus on the things I love about myself. For instance, I love the way my body moves when I spend time with it, the way it feels when I'm dancing, the way it allows me to experience the world around me. So I leaned into that for this self portrait session. Just spending time with myself in my studio and experiencing what emotions came up, and what felt good.
