My scars are like my badge.

The idea originated as surprise anniversary gift for my husband. But it turned into more than that.

I then wanted this art as a keepsake for myself- A visual reminder of how much I love and appreciate my healthy, strong, beautiful body.

Leading up to my session I was 90% excited, 10% nervous. I was looking forward to the experience and the end result. During my boudoir session I felt confident, gorgeous, and entertained. 

A moment that sticks out to me.... I didn't want to photograph my breasts because I thought my scars didn't belong in a photograph. Molly encouraged me to try it if I felt comfortable.

I quickly realized that my scars and imperfections are worth photographing because they make me me. My scars are like my badge. They say "I did it. I beat it. And look at me now. I'm alive, I'm healthy, I'm strong, and I'm beautiful. I'm still me."

I felt very sexy afterwards. I called my husband and told him he had to take me on a date that night. We had a really great date and he told me I looked beautiful, gorgeous, and sexy about a thousand times.

I giggled in my head because I knew the real reason why I was all dolled up and he didn't.

I hope in 30 years my emotions are, "dang! I looked gooooood!" :-)

Do it! Because, why not? You'll have fun!

Thank you, Molly!
