From Self-Destruction To Knowing My Self-Worth

“Like most women, I've struggled with my own insecurities of self-confidence and self-worth. For the longest time, I've always had difficulty believing that I was beautiful. I've been told by many people how beautiful I was, yet was unable to tell my own self that. My lack of confidence caused me to compare myself to other women and would notice how absolutely gorgeous they were. I felt flawed, and my self-worth plummeted as a result.

When I found out that my ex-boyfriend had lied and cheated on me with a married woman, I was completely heartbroken and felt immense sadness and anger. I had the core belief that something was wrong with me and that it was my fault for what had happened. I'm not even sure how to fully articulate this feeling, but whatever it was, I just didn't feel ENOUGH. Pretty enough, clever enough, worthy enough, or just, well, anything enough. I suffered greatly from depression and anxiety, and coped by self-destructing. 

It wasn't until the day after my birthday that I received a text message from a good friend of mine and fellow #SheerBeauty, Miss M. In the message was a link to schedule a boudoir session with Brian and Jennifer at Sheer Photography. Miss M mentioned her own experience with Sheer Photography and described it as being one of the best and most life-changing experiences she's ever had. I've always had an interest in booking a boudoir session and I took her text message as sign that I should finally do something beneficial for myself. So I made it official! I booked my first ever boudoir session with Sheer Photography and it ended up being the best decision I've ever made.

Words cannot express how awesome my #SheerExperience was!! It was truly an amazing and life-changing experience!!! From the moment I walked up the stairs I was filled with excitement and couldn't wait to get started. Brian and Jennifer made me feel comfortable and were so much fun to work with!!! They both made my #SheerExperience an amazing one and helped me feel beautiful, sexy and confident. 

On the day of my reveal, I was amazed at how stunning and sexy I looked in the photographs. I couldn't believe that the woman I saw in the pictures was actually me! For the first time in my life, I said that I was beautiful and actually believed it! I couldn't be happier with my photos!! This whole experience and seeing those photographs has helped me realize that I am much more than what I originally thought of myself as. It has taught me that I do need to start loving myself more because I am worthy, I am beautiful and I am good enough. 

Thank you Brian and Jennifer for giving me the experience of a lifetime. This experience has truly made a world of difference in how I feel and think about myself. I'm forever grateful for everything you both have done for me. Thank you so much.”
