“Once things slow down at work, once the kids are settled, once I get through this season... then I'll focus on myself.”
Life doesn't block off a "calm" season unless you make it. Perhaps you don’t need an empty schedule to take up space; you need a hard stop from the noise.
“I’m not photogenic. I'm going to freeze up, laugh nervously, and feel like an imposter the second the lens clicks.”
If we expect ourselves to be flawless and effortless on command, of course we feel awkward. That’s why I don't rely on rigid poses; we rely on presence, breath coaching, and continuous movement. You are allowed to feel nervous. That is normal. My job as your guide is to walk you right through the nervousness until you forget the camera is even there.
“Who do I think I am to spend time/money on photos of myself? Isn't this a bit much?”
Documenting your actual existence, your strength, and your complexity isn't vanity—it’s history. You are allowed to care about how you are remembered, and you are allowed to celebrate yourself without needing an external "milestone" to justify it.
“Once I hit my goal weight, then I'll feel comfortable in my skin.”
How many years have you spent waiting for a version of yourself? If you wait until every single star aligns, you’re going to be waiting a very long time. This is the confidence you've been looking for - and that confidence isn't a prerequisite you bring to the studio door like a ticket stub—it’s the _result_ of the experience.
📌 Save this post for the next time your inner critic tries to talk you out of taking up space.
