To shoot, or not to shoot...

So. This post may not be for everyone, and that’s okay. Feel free to comment below if you’ve had an experience or your opinion. No judgement. During my first pregnancy I was 19. Let’s just say I wasn’t exactly doing what all my friends were. I was trying trust me, but there comes a time where you just have to grow up. Which leads me to this. Aging. My body is something I always considered to be well, sacred. Not in a weird way. But I firmly believe that it should be taken care of. You only get one and it’s going to carry you through many many years so why not treat it as such. After I had my Son my body changed. I wasn’t prepared for it. No one really explains to you in life you kind of just have to figure it out for yourself. That was my experience anyways. So while I was pregnant I was enjoying some of my new changes. Body casting was becoming a trend and I thought the idea of all my girlfriends putting plaster on myself during a bridal shower was a little too much. I mean we were close. But, not that close. And then comes with, what do you do with it afterwards, hang it up in your living room? So I forgot about the whole idea and just never thought of it again. Then came the modeling career. I never posed nude and I don’t judge people that do. I know a lot of successful people in the business who are well respected and did it and did very well. I just couldn’t. Out of respect for my parents. ( my father would kill me.) Having said that, a couple of years and life changes later I had my second. My daughter :) And if I’ve had one regret in life was not taking tasteful photos of myself while I was with child. I think it’s probably one of the most beautiful things in this world. If you really stop and think about it. And forgive me for those who can’t, I don’t know nor do I pretend to, and then there are those who wish not to. Which I I totally respect as well. To each their own. It’s your life. Your body. You should decide what to do with it. So what’s my point being in this long rant. I think that every woman. At some stage in their life should have themselves photographed. The woman form is absolutely beautiful thing and no matter what age, shape, or size. I think we might all want to look back one day and see how we were. Who we were. Because when life comes to an end I know our outsides may change but inside I hope to still feel the same and I want a memento of image of myself to reflect that.
