This experience has definitely changed me. I realized that how I see myself is different from the way other people see me. That I do have magic within me.

I have always been amazed with Molly's work but I finally got the courage to do a boudoir session a couple months ago! My body has been in pain every day for the last 2 years (that I can remember). It started with my hands and it spread everywhere else and I can honestly say that I don't remember what its like to have a physically good day. I let this get in the way of a lot of things that I usually love to do and I let myself go into a dark places.

Are you ready to step into the most authentic expression of yourself? THIS JOURNEY WAS THAT OF DEEP HEALING AND SURRENDER. I didn't quite know what I was getting myself into. All I knew was there was a lost piece of me that needed to be brought back into the light.

Okay so right after the session, I actually felt very sick.

But as weird as this may sound...I truly believe something came out of me that day.

All the negativity that my own mind had thought up or the negativity that others have put into my head, it all left. I own my feelings and happiness. No one else can control that. And no matter how many times I’ve heard those negative comments and even for future negative comments, rise above Stephanie because you are beautiful, you are strong, and you can do this!

the trial, the lawyers, the hospital rape kit, the restraining order, counseling . . . and he still got to walk away from it scott free.

Why was I doing this then? Why was I spending a fuck ton of money on something that I already look at in the mirror and HATE daily? It made no sense and I almost canceled.

I felt inspired to tell others to do this, it made me feel so good about myself.

I know it sounds cliche, but to become proud of your body through the art she provides is something I would never have thought possible.

I felt so happy afterwards! I felt like calling every one of my girlfriends on my drive home and telling them how much fun it was. My session put me in such a good mindset even days after! I think it has definitely given me more confidence and helped me see myself as sexy.

There were many reasons I decided on a boudoir session, the main one was to find ME again. To know that no matter what size I've become I'm still beautiful. I've been through A LOT of crap in my life and I've pulled myself up out of all of it.

I am a 28 year old single woman who is alone most of her days. I was raised in a tiny ass Lutheran school with 3 other classmates throughout middle school, then thrown into high school not knowing a soul. I was overweight, awkward, quiet and the definition of what it means to be insecure.

We all undergo struggles. It’s what we do with those struggles that determine the type of person we are. I have chose to NEVER forget those times of struggle in my life because it has made me exactly who I am today.
