“Remember what you must do
when they undervalue you,
when they think
your softness is your weakness,
when they treat your kindness
like it is their advantage.
You awaken
every dragon,
every wolf,
every monster
that sleeps inside you
and you remind them
what hell looks like
when it wears the skin
of a gentle human.”
Most often boudoir shoots are designed for a significant other. This is truly a lovely idea, and it is a really fun shoot to work with a woman wanting to do something lovely and cute for her lover. But I will say, that the strength of a woman simply stepping into her own skin for herself can be massively empowering. As the photographer to be a part of the process this almost like a transformation, but of really of seeing a woman come into her own standing has to be one of the most amazing things. As has been often stated:
“Here’s to strong women. May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.”
Thank you, Courtney, for being willing to do such a wonderful shoot in such an amazing bathtub/bathroom. Here's to your beautiful and courageous heart. You are stunning as a person in all ways. It was truly fun and amazing to do this with you! See below for some of my favorites.
