Hello to all my new followers!
Thank you so much for your lovin on my latest set UNCHAINED. It means so much to me that this community is so inclusive and diverse. Every woman is a goddess and I'm so blown away by the continuous support given to everyone.
I thought I'd write a little something something for you all to get to know me better. SO! last October I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and he's is the sunshine in my life. I've been spending the last 9 months with him on maternity leave doing all sorts of "mum" activities and I have to admit, I love it. Being a mum is so rewarding. Watching him develop, learn new things, make friends and figure out the world has opened my eyes so much. He's cheeky, yet loving and cuddly, cranky yet so happy it's such a whirlwind. Totally a rollercoaster!
Since having him I've done 3 shoots now! One in January with @victory (I'm still waiting for this one to come back to me so hang tight!), One in Feb with @coolicio (UNCHAINED) AND!! I shot my first ever multi with the beautiful @hartlee by @vorpal !! I'm so excited for what's to come with the sets that aren't out yet but it's been a long road to loving my body again .
Becoming a mum means your body is no longer yours. It is a feeding vessel for your baby to nurture and grow and although it's such a beautiful thing, it's also a hard adjustment when you spent so long doing things for yourself. You have to be more mindful of what you put into your body as it passes to your child, you have to stay hydrated, you're hungry all the time, you're tired but none of this matters to him, he doesn't know. I put on a fair amount of weight while I was pregnant (what can I say? I like food) and it's been a hard adjustment to learn to love my new body since. The stretch marks will fade and the linea nigra also fades (it's a line that goes down the middle of your stomach when you get pregnant) but the weight was something I couldn't deal with. Nothing in my wardrobe fit me and I felt like a blob. My fiance has been my rock. He loves me no matter what and constantly tells me I'm beautiful but I need to believe it for me, not for him.
That's why I got back in front of the camera. It might sound strange to some, but being nude in front of that camera almost brings out an alter-ego. That sexy minx who's hiding inside of me just BURSTING to come out, she has that chance when I take off all my clothes and force myself in front of the lens. Of course the photographer behind it is also SO SO SO supportive, there's no way it could be done without them! But this has forced me to look at myself in new light, to love my skin in a new way, love my curves in a new way. I carried a child and that's such an amazing thing to do, I'm so grateful every day that I was able to do it. I'm even more thankful that the SG community has accepted me, the new me, without hesitation.
Thank you.
