She knows to laugh and not take things too seriously, but also to not take this life for granted. She knows her worth and will do her best to live up to her potential.
She lives life for herself while still caring for the ones she loves.
She doesn’t rely on anyone for her happiness, she creates her own.
She doesn’t let fear hold her back.
The modern woman is what most of us aspire to be, but becoming her isn’t easy.
We were raised to have unrealistic expectations for ourselves.
We were taught that beauty was being thin and modelesque. “True love” is where we will find our happiness and fulfillment. Things have changed and we’re learning that we can be so much more. It takes time and work to retrain our beliefs.
One thing that changed my whole self-image was doing my own self-portraits.
Seeing myself in a new way was life changing. I felt like I was on top of the world. I realized I was so much more beautiful than I allowed myself to believe. After that, I began to change my mindset. I started to see my potential. I started to become the modern woman.
Working on yourself is something you have to do continuously. I’m still learning and growing. I’m not perfect. But if I stop and look back at who I was 5 years ago, that’s when I see the difference.
I won’t lie to you, doing a boudoir photoshoot isn’t the cure all. But it’s a huge step on your journey. It might not rid you of all of your insecurities, but it will help. Seeing photographs of yourself by a professional who knows how to capture you at your best is indescribable. Its empowering.
Sure, a boudoir session may sound scary, but remember, the modern woman doesn’t let fear hold her back.
Are you ready to take that big step? Or, are you considering it but still have questions?
