MY STORY:
My whole life I've been giving up everything I wanted for the sake of others. To give them what they wanted, because we were brought up to believe self-love, self-value, self-care and any other thing that could be added to "self-" to show that we do actually love ourselves just as much as others, was selfish and/or a sin.
By doing this, I've denied myself falling pregnant at a younger age, out of wedlock, constantly waiting for Mr Right to show up or just purely because my partner wasn't "ready".
This has put me in a position where I'm now 44 and after trying for more than 4 years to get my body to do what it's supposed to do I have a rare opportunity to have IVF done via donor s***m. Yes, this is not the ideal option and yes, I would have wanted it so different, but I'm trying to make the most of this hand I chose.
You can follow my journey on The Art of Beatrix and Lace.
As some of you might know the Doctors doing these kind of treatments do not ask for an arm and a leg, but they require my heart, one kidney and left lung to cover the cost. Unfortunately, they didn't fall for the typical "I'm looking for someone who does't charge an arm and a leg" and therefore I need to make the money on my own - yes, I still have no husband or partner to help me cover the cost of this and running a household on my own. I'm willing to do shoots till it runs out of my ears if I can just earn the money to make this a possibility.
Most of my friends, clients who became the most amazing tribe of women who I may now call my friends, know this is one of the most important things my heart craves and they've held my hand while I work on my mental, emotional and spiritual Self to make this a reality and to tackle this head on.
I always give of myself, in abundance, and need your help to help me give back to myself now. By booking a shoot with me you're not only giving me the chance of a lifetime to hold a mini me soon, but you're giving me the opportunity to show you how beautiful you are. To show you the beauty you might be denying the world from seeing, because you're too busy hustling to keep your household up and running and forget to care for yourself for a few seconds. It is NOT selfish to care for yourself too!
I don't only shoot bo***ir, although it has been my niche photography genre for so long, and currently the special I'm running with for Mother's day is for any type of shoot, except full family shoots.
I'm extending these shoot bookings till 6 May
book now, pay in full and shoot later.
If you've done a shoot with me before and you would like to comment on how this shoot or these shoots have changed your life or what you got out of it, please feel free to send me a DM with your feedback and let me know if I can share it with the others.
