I have been taking self portraits for over 11 years now. Let me share my story with you 👇
When I first starting taking self portraits, I wanted to document my body to celebrate it growing and to continually fall unconditionally in love with myself. I wanted to lead a life where I actively practise being kind to myself with a deep level of authenticity and rawness. I wanted to capture myself so that on the harder days I can remind myself that I am a god damn worthy goddess.
I started my Self Love Journey by taking Polaroids. I remember how empowering it was to watch the image develop for the first time. I didn’t know exactly what the first Polaroid meant, but I knew it was important. Little did I know that it would be so powerful that it would lead my life to where it is today.
Then one day I felt ready and decided to start sharing the images publicly. I felt comfortable in my skin and with who I was. I wanted to lead by example and create a post that showed other women how to love themselves gently. It felt scary and intimidating but I was ready. I posted my sunflower portraits (below) and it changed my life forever.
Within 12 months of sharing these images, I had a created Leaf & Lace and I was actively using my platform to hold space, celebrate and teach other women how to unconditionally love themselves too. I think of all the women I’ve captured over the last 5 years and it makes me feel so proud! Leaf & Lace grew from my own self love journey and it can help yours grow too.
