Make Studio 11 a reality!

I'm a boudoir photographer. Boudoir can give women a chance to empower themselves, to feel beautiful, desirable and courageous. I can't tell you how many times a woman has come to me nervous, feeling fat and unattractive. They want photos done for their husbands. So we do them. It's afterwards that I hear things like, "I have felt so fat and gross for so long...I can't believe that's me! I'm sexy!" or "That was so much fun. After three kids I have been resigned to thinking that I was frumpy and "normal"...but I'm not! I'm hot!" They leave, donning their makeovers and feeling amazing. Finding a piece of them they thought was lost through years of life happening. It's so awe-inspiring to be able to offer this experience to women. I started this go fund me because I want to open a studio...a place where women can be comfortable being themselves. One central location where everything can happen and where I can be available to more women. A friend suggested using go fund me and I just didn't want to be that vulnerable and reach out to strangers for help, because why in the world would anyone want to help me? I'm not destitute. I haven't experienced a traumatic experience. I'm a normal-ish mama of 3 who is trying to live her dream while supporting her family. There has been a shift in my thinking...if I want it that badly I will work to make it happen. I will reach out to complete strangers to make it happen. Living my dream is worth every moment of excrutiatingly uncomfortable vulnerability. I am asking anyone who has a moment and a few extra dollars to help me out. I offer you my gratitude. Peace.
