So, I recently hit the big 4-5. 45! Forty-five years old. I have been on this fitness journey for over 20 years. I lost 75 pounds of fat and gained some muscle.
When I look at old photos of myself, I still get anxiety. But I wanted to take the final step in my fitness journey. The culmination of my hard work, dedication, and healthy eating habits.
I decided to do a boudoir photo shoot. Not as a gift for my husband or anything like that. But for myself. To finally let go of my fears. To show myself that I have completed my transformation.
I chose Michael Jones as my boudoir photographer. He owns a local boudoir studio here in Orlando. Several of my friends recommended him. You can check out his website here https://www.sinboudoir.com/.
I wanted to do my photos down on the beach. When I was younger and overweight, I avoided the beach out of embarrassment. But now, I was ready to overcome my fear of the beach. I wanted to be naked on the beach!
We started with some bikini photos. Then we did several topless photos. Overall, I had a really fun time doing my photos. Michael was very good to work with.
Here is a photo from my boudoir session.
I can without a doubt say that this was one of the best things I could ever do for my self-esteem and mental health. I thank Michael at Sin Boudoir for helping me get through my fears and working with me to fulfill my vision.
