Iv been in love with the suicide girls for many years. When I first discovered the company my heart skipped a beat, I had found art in my own image. Accepting my personal beauty has been a long and challenging journey for me. This is primarily due to my struggle with mental health issues and domestic violance throughout my life. At this point in my story, I am on a path to self acceptance, I want to be the person I have always wanted to be. One of the first things I did was schedule a photo shoot. I love the art of the human form, the innumerable variety in the individual expression of the same basic building materials. I have always been very critical of my own form, especially in photography. I felt the immages of my self only showed the flaws, and I thought it must be all any one else can see as well. I thought if a photographer could capture what they saw as beautiful then I might see it to. Feeling confidant and driven in a vulnerable setting, and seeing my self as the art at the end of the experiance, was truly transformative. I was not, ashamed, embarassed, or scared that others would not see me for who I really am inside of the immages. I do beleive now that I am beautiful just as I am formed. Accepting my exterior self has allowed me to move on to my interior self. Though my road may not lead to a cure for my mental illness. I do beleive, I am capable of overcoming the obstacles it lays forth. These are the photoes that brought me out of the shadows of my own life.
