Mandy is a wife and mother to two beautiful daughters. Additionally, she is a speech-language pathologist (speech therapist for short) and has a passion for wellness and healing. She loves to learn and share her knowledge with others.
Like many people, Mandy has been on a journey of self-love for most of her life. She’s never really felt comfortable with her body shape. In her opinion, her boobs were too small, thighs and belly too big, cellulite, etc. Growing up, her mom always criticized her body and Mandy just followed suit. She wanted to learn to love her body and herself for her daughters. Wanting them to feel comfortable in their skin no matter their size or shape. So, as she grew in her “body love” she also became more comfortable in her sexuality and sensuality. Therefore, she decided to have a photo shoot to capture this part of herself!
Here’s a little bit right from Many herself:
“Going into my session I was a little worried about how certain parts of my body would look in pictures or how Sarah would view them but I had been following Sarah’s Facebook page for a while and knew that her studio is a no judgment zone.”
“Sarah is loving and kind. She helps you feeling beautiful, comfortable, and free to be you. She also has a variety of sets in her studio so.that you’re able to get a wide range of poses and backgrounds. She demonstrates each pose so you know exactly how to place your body. Sarah also gives a personal touch. She sat with me after the shoot to help with selecting favorite pictures. Sarah combined my pictures into a gorgeous red velvet photo album that will be special to me forever.”
“My favorite part of the session was feeling so sexy after my makeup session and then getting my lingerie on. Actually my favorite outfit was a white cropped tank and some lacy high-rise underwear. Her studio has great energy. There’s something special about the dressing room that made me feel sexy! Since my session, I’ve continued to feel more comfortable in my skin. Oh, and sexier! I have my boudoir picture displayed in my office that makes me say… “damn, I looked good!” “
I’m thrilled that Mandy had a great experience. I first met her a couple of years ago at a Self-Love Summer Bash that I hosted. I love this project dedicated to self-love. Meanwhile, feel free to check out the blog post about the Self-Love Summer Bash while you are here!
