“I am worthwhile”
~ The story of Ms. S
This, ladies, is why we do what we do. We believe ALL women are beautiful just the way they are, and Ms. S was no exception. From her gorgeous eyes to her amazing wardrobe choices, her shoot was a dream. Her images came out PERFECTLY and she absolutely rocked her shoot.
Read on to hear how she regained her self-worth.
"I guess I'll start at the beginning... Since I can remember, body image being a thought in my head, mine has been poor. I wasn't skinny enough, my nose was too big, my boobs were too small, my thighs touched. Nothing was good enough. I got married too young because I thought he was my only option to have a family. My ex-husband would joke about pretty girls being his next wife. When I gained weight after pregnancy, I was seen as nothing more than a maid and a cook, and a person to care for our daughter. I was at rock bottom as far as self-worth. I craved that feeling of validation. But no one has been able to fulfill that need. It was always fine when I started dating someone, but it wasn't long before someone prettier, or thinner, or younger came along that was more interesting than me. My self-worth depended on other people's opinions.
Then, this opportunity came along, and I did this shoot strictly for me! I have had self-image issues for as long as I can remember, as I said. I craved feeling special, beautiful, more than average. Even if it was just a for a couple of hours. I had no idea that the images that came of that would serve as a reminder that I AM all of those things. I don't think I could even pick just one favorite part of the session! I guess I would have to say how at ease Amanda & Wilson made me feel. They were very professional but also felt like a longtime friend who I could laugh and joke with. That meant a lot for a self-conscious person like me. I had never done a shoot before so wasn't sure what to expect, but I could not have imagined a more comfortable and empowering experience. I don't think I could have expected such a great experience. It taught me that gaining self-worth isn't dependent on what another person thinks of me. It taught me to feel worthwhile because I AM. There is no greater gift."
