The Love Story series are pieces written by real women, posted with some of their Boudoir photos. They are sharing with you their Body Love Journey and their experience with Leaf & Lace.

"Learning to love your body doesn’t happen overnight, or over a week or month. It takes time. In my teen to early twenties days there were a few things I didn’t like about my body. Some of these features included: not having a flat belly, stretch marks, no visible abs, not having smaller thighs and having large boobs. I guess, I felt that way about my body because I thought I’d be like that forever.
But it turns out, I discovered overtime our bodies continue to change as we get older, as well as when we look after them. I noticed my stretch marks went from purple to white. I prefer to eat yummy food instead of having abs or leaner thighs. And I freaking love my large boobs now. After looking after my body by exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet, I have really learned to love my body for what it can do. Such as lifting heavy weights, climbing mountains or even just walking or running.
And so after falling in love with my body and who I am as a person, I wanted to do a Budoir Shoot to capture the beauty of my body. I am so glad I found Shelby to do this for me, she is so sweet and down to earth. I had a fun and comfortable experience with her. Thank you Shelby, I look forward to doing this again. "
