Who am I? A unique, ambitious, and curious girl who wants to understand her greatness, why she came to this world, and how she will leave it.

I’m not here on this magical planet spinning through space to be a victim of my circumstances. But I know deep inside that I am not here to live a small or ordinary life, and neither are you!

We are all divine creatures! WE CAME HERE TO DO EPIC SHIT!

Are you ready to stop running from the truth of your divinity? Would you like to detox from the unconscious bullshit programming running your life? Are you ready to open the door, walk in, clear out the cobwebs and ignite the flame that will light your soul on fire?

What if a little self-love could change your thoughts? Could changing your thoughts unlock all your potential? What if self-love was a superpower that gave you everything you wanted?

Would you be willing to leap into the unknown? Can you imagine the satisfaction of quenching the thirst for your dreams? Do you fear that becoming a better version of yourself may bring about changes in your life?

Helping others understand and connect to self-love is my life’s prayer, and simultaneously, it’s been my greatest challenge.

Since I was a teenager, photography has been an integral part of my life. It was during a period of pain and confusion in my life that I discovered the camera. By looking through the lens, I saw the light and beauty in my deepest parts and was triggered on a journey of transformation.

I now have THE best job in the world. I cannot imagine a more fun and fulfilling career! I take women to their most vulnerable state— you guessed it—naked, and then become their photographer and cheerleader and coach them into the most confident version of themselves. My role is behind the camera as their trusting guide helping them feel free so they can bloom the beauty they’ve always held inside. Lenses are magical because they capture beauty and do so objectively. The final product is not only art but also an experience of spiritual transformation.

In the last 10 years, I've photographed over a thousand boudoir sessions, and almost all of them were hiding behind some toxic body shame, no matter what their looks, age, size, status, or occupation were.

I cannot remain silent about this any longer.

Over the last two decades, I have worked hard to embrace and understand the concept of self-love. Manifesting what I want for myself and holding space and energy for my clients has become my priority-a non-negotiable daily practice. You can have everything you want in life if you love yourself.

True beauty is something that I have been learning about, and I wish to share it in a way that will make a larger impact on others. This was the big Aha! moment for me, and it has manifested into this book and everything else that will follow. I am finally doing it! I'm buzzing with ideas and waking up more excited than I've been in a long time. Right now, my inner child is raving; it's being liberated.

I hope that this book can help you remember the infinite beauty, strength, and confidence inside of you so that you can unleash it and let it be seen, loved, and fucking celebrated. My goal is for your shame to be healed so it can be free from lies and sabotage. It's time to emancipate it from any conversation that denies you unconditional compassion and self-love.

The shame we place on our bodies robs us of the truth, happiness, and confidence we deserve. Shame poisons our minds and damages our bodies. Shame is part of an old collective consciousness that women have been holding onto for centuries, and I’m fucking over it.

Rejecting our true selves is not an option. Ultimately, this leads to pain, sadness, and illness. As long as we don't radically commit to loving ourselves daily, we will spiral into the vacuum of life as dormant seeds and deny our ability to create miracles.

The concept of self-love, which we'll discuss in depth in this book, has huge consequences for how we interact with the rest of the world. It is impossible to serve anyone or ourselves without self-love.

Self-love = Self-worth = Self-forgiveness = Self-acceptance = Self-expression = Safety = Freedom

It is common for us to become prisoners of our circumstances and make excuses for why we don't deserve self-care and love. We dream small and struggle with the internal chatter, 'I don't have time; someday I'll do that. You may feel drowned out by your many to-do lists, but there is something inside you that must be seen, heard, and felt. What you resist persists until you free it and convert it into the energy of infinite possibilities. What if the promise of tomorrow is your brain's way of keeping you where it's comfortable, familiar, and safe? Could you lie to yourself daily to avoid the positive changes that come with great leaps in self-growth?

Carving time for learning self-love is indeed one of our greatest challenges. We are women running households, raising children, supporting our families, overworking, under-sleeping, over-giving, and buying into the narrative that we don’t have time. The funny thing is that if we don’t make time, we will never have time. Right?! Something can shift in the moment of creation, declaration, and intention - the universe finds a way to pull towards you what you desire.

We can only captain our ship in the right direction if we put ourselves first. Now is the time to emerge from the fog.

Self-love is not an easy path to take, but it is the only one that fills the hunger in your heart once you realize how much power and strength hides within you, hidden from your view.

Let’s go there. Let’s get naked.
