“The fear of the unknown can be overwhelming, even paralyzing, but it doesn't have to be. Comfort zones are an imaginary safe zone that we create for ourselves. To expand that safe zone, you have to be daring to step outside of it. This photo shoot was definitely outside my comfort zone however the experience ended up being inspiring, even freeing and I'm so glad I dared to do something that typically would have felt awkward and unnatural to me. Looking at the final reveal and seeing my photos had a profound impact on me. I didn't notice the imperfections that I had spent so many years criticizing myself for. Rather, Kelsey was able to bring to light the courageous, independent, vibrant person I am on the inside and capture the very essence of who I am today in picture form. Every woman should be able to gaze at a photo that embodies who they are and allow our ‘imperfections’ to transform into badges of honor that we can be proud of.”
