Fat and Naked

Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me! Yes, it's my birthday and a perfect day to post these gorgeous photos from Bryan Regan Photography from yesterday's shoot. They're so perfect they look like oil paintings and I'm in love with each and every one of them. Even though they show off a lot of parts of me that I don't like, when I was taking them I didn't feel self conscious in the least. I felt like a work of art.

Every time I do a nude shoot I still struggle. The process has gotten easier over time though and I'm starting to feel proud of my naked body and view it as something beautiful and unique. I  have small boobs, big thighs, a kinda flat butt, but I don't care. At least not right this moment. This morning I tried on my new fatkini  and felt very badly about my breasts and their size. Another good reason to post these photos! To show everyone and myself that it doesn't matter. All bodies are beautiful no matter what.

American Gothic; The Bad Part of Town

I had a wonderful and exciting shoot with Bryan Regan Photography today. We visited a neighborhood in Raleigh with lots of rundown and abandoned, boarded up buildings. We didn't visit all of them, but we found some colorful spots for photos. He wanted to shoot in an American Gothic type style. Bryan enjoys capturing real people in real locations. Not that fashion models are fake or the locations are fake (okay, sometimes they are), but what I think he meant was something more raw. Anyway, I love the locations we found and I hope you enjoy our handiwork.

And one more- A kind of behind the scenes photo in which I'm scrunching my face because the sun was in my eyes.
