Sometimes I hesitate to share things like this because this page is also my business.
But the truth is… behind the photos, I’m also just a human trying to figure life out too.
And honestly, some of the hardest years of my life were the years where I smiled the most publicly.
Most people who know me know me as the person who’s always smiling, always there for everyone else, always finding the positive. Supporting other women in seeing themselves differently gave me something to hold onto during some really dark moments. Watching women reconnect with their confidence, sensuality, softness, power… it inspired me to keep going too.
What’s strange is that now in a season where I actually feel safer, more loved, more settled in my home and relationship ..I think I’m finally allowing myself to grieve.
And I don’t think we talk enough about how scary this phase of life can feel as women.
I’m approaching 40 feeling like I’m starting life over and there are days where I feel deeply empowered, connected to my body, grounded in who I am… and then there are other days where I feel incredibly self-conscious. Days where I question myself, my appearance, my direction, my business, my purpose.
Sometimes I wonder how much of it is aging…hormones. How much of it is the constant messaging telling women we should always be fixing something about ourselves.
How much of it is the pressure of running a business with no real stability or certainty.
There have been so many moments over the years where I could have walked away from all of this and chosen something safer.
But every single time, I come back to the photos.I look at the women I’ve photographed. I look at the moments we created together.
I look at my own images and remember parts of myself I sometimes forget.
And maybe that’s why I’m sharing this.
Because maybe I’m not the only woman feeling a little lost right now.
Maybe confidence isn’t something we arrive at once and keep forever. Maybe it’s something we continuously return to, over and over again.
So if that’s you… know you’re not alone xx
