CHIHA BOUDOIR

Body image is tough, at any age. Even though I'm a traditionally skinny person, I surprisingly have plenty of memories growing up critiquing my body. Feeling like I never quite had the body I wanted. Always comparing my stomach to someone else, or how I never had any curves. Or wanting straight hair *gasp* (I love my curly hair now).

However, when I look back at old photos of myself, I don't have those same critiques. I realized I was being really hard on myself and I looked better than I was cooking up in my head.

Then, I had a further realization. I was never appreciating my body in the present time, in it's present form. 

I thought to myself, how many other women do this, too? Women who aren't celebrating their bodies in the now?

Boudoir photography fills me with so much joy and purpose because I love helping other women see their beauty NOW. I love when you see your photos and go, 'Wow! That's ME.'

It's amazing.
