How a boudoir experience changed Erin’s life

This one almost brought me to tears. This process is so much more then just a photoshoot. It means more, it digs deeper and it lifts up in a way I could never have imagined. 

Here are some of Erin's own words and some of my favorites from her Boudoir experience!

“I grew up as a child of abuse. My family was always very physically fit but struggled with addictive demons. As a teen the abuse didn't stop and I found my own addictive behaviors. I was told by many family, friends, lovers, and spouses that I would never be skinny enough, fit enough, pretty enough, I would never amount to anything. I have strived to overcome these things. As a woman in modern society and a product of a raising, I have always struggled with body dysmorphia. After giving birth it came to a point where I covered my mirrors so I didn't have to see myself. I have pushed and become the best me I can. I am a 14yr business owner, mother, wife, and now sober advocate. Climbing those mountains were hard but climbing this giant mass of body issues has been a different challenge. 

I decided to put myself out there and I couldn't have done it with anyone better than Bri. What an amazing experience. Seeing myself in these pictures and the all around experience has brought me to tears. I'm finally ready to see myself and my reflection again. Thank you Bri for bringing the woman back out of me.”
