Are you ready to see one of my favorite people ever session? Well one of them? I’ve photographed her a few times now and each time it seems to just get better and better ! She grows so much every single time and I’ve watched her transform completely over our time together. I am so lucky to have such an amazing person in my life and who chooses and trusts in me to capture her beauty !

Ambers testimony :
”There comes a time where you have to step outside of your comfort zone and remember who you are. Not the bullshit face you put on, or the person you SHOULD be, but the person that you are in private or with those that you love and trust.

I’ve known Brii for a little over a year now, and it feels like I’ve known her my whole life. I met her because of her ass. Literally. One of the most perfect asses I’ve ever seen in my life, and as a boudoir photographer, that is SERIOUSLY saying a lot. She knew my situation, and she knew that I was going through something very uncomfortable and painful. She talked to me, made me laugh and smile and made me feel like I was important. We met and got in a care to travel 15 hours to Canada together, we laughed, sang, made stupid jokes and went to camp. She insisted I get naked in front of the camera. I had gained back all the weight I lost, plus a little extra thanks to health issues, depression and ultimately a failing marriage. I felt ugly. Undesirable. Worthless. And to be honest, most importantly…. Nothing like myself. How could I bring myself to be naked in front of someone so beautiful?

Brii made everything so incredibly comfortable. She made me forget that I am plus size. She made me forget that I am not happy with myself on a normal basis, because in that moment, I was completely happy and satisfied with myself. She didn’t treat me differently because I am plus size. She just saw me, in the way that Brii sees people – As raw, stripped down and completely beautiful because of who they are.

Since then, Brii and I have shot many a time. I have been blessed to photograph her all over the Eastern seaboard and to become part of her life and family. Most recently, I went through the darkest period of my life. I lost myself. I pulled back from every friend I had, except my work friends and I even took time from photography. I was giving up on myself, lost in a failing marriage and the toll it was taking on who I am as a person. Brii never gave up on me. She kept reminding me how beautiful I am and how I deserve to be loved by more than someone else – I deserve to be loved BY myself! My marriage has resulted in separation and soon divorce, but I am more myself now than I have been in years, some of thanks in part to Brii and the magic she works.

She and I shot recently, and for the first time in my entire life, I accepted who I am right now – weight and all. She coaxed a part of me out that I am not sure I’ve ever seen on film and helped me to shine – quite literally. When I saw sneak peaks of the session, I didn’t see my stomach. I didn’t see the weight. I saw my smile. I saw my eyes. I saw happiness and love. I got a chance to look past the hurt and the loss I have felt and I got to see ME. I have loved every session I’ve had with Brii, but the most recent session took me to a place that I didn’t know I could go ever again. I can’t wait to display these. I’ve picked out a few shots that I need metal prints of, because seeing them make me feel ALIVE.

Please don’t do like I did. Please don’t let yourself hide away. You deserve to be documented and to be a part of everything. If there is ever a person to show you how the world sees you, it’s Brii.

Thank you for showing me how the world sees me.”
