Girl, Celebrate Your Postpartum Body!
Hey, mamas, this post is especially for you. We’re going to take a couple minutes to give you some love and affirmations about your postpartum body. If you’ve had a baby, you’re no stranger to the mental and physical changes that come with having a baby. You literally have changed from your head to your toes. That is a lot to process! As magical and badass as it is to know you grew and brought life into the world, the aftermath is complicated for everyone. We’re here to remind you that, girl, your postpartum body is worth celebrating!
Several clients who have had babies in the past few months come into our studio. Can we talk about how amazing that is? We have women who trust us with their postpartum bodies with an experience that amplifies their self confidence and identity! In fact, one of our repeat clients had her third shoot five months postpartum with her third baby! Read her story here and let her journey inspire you.
Being in the postpartum season, especially for that first year, can be a jarring experience. It seems like every single day, your clothes fit a little differently, and your hair feels different. Your skin texture does not feel quite like your own. It’s a constant change as your hormones fluctuate. That’s an intense experience!
We know you’re tired; having little humans who depend on you for their every need is a heavy weight to carry. Of course, it’s beautiful and exciting, but it’s hard. It’s okay to acknowledge the hard.
When you book a boudoir shoot, you get a day to rest. You have a team of people here to support and pamper you. You get time to relax your brain and worry about nothing at all except choosing your outfits for the shoot! (Even then, we are here to help you if you want!)
Maybe you’re breastfeeding and feeling like you don’t know how to feel sexy because you’re using your body to nourish a baby (or babies!). That’s more than okay. We celebrate all boobies here with Emma Early Photography.
We know your skin may look a little different on your body, and that’s absolutely divine. Our bodies aren’t meant to be stagnant statues of sculpted perfection forever. Sometimes, our bodies just to be given grace and consideration for the season of life we’re in without judgement. Our bodies are vessels that are strong, intuitive, and resilient. The purpose of our body is to carry us through the different seasons of life. Our bodies are constantly moving to accommodate life! Isn’t that really powerful to sit with? We are navigating life with bodies built for a purpose.
We see your stretch marks, skin, and new cellulite, but we don’t see them as anything other than beautiful and empowering. We’re here to help you find empowerment in your body as it is right now. We’re here to celebrate and honor your story, even if it’s hard for you to see the good parts. That’s where you trust us to do our job!
You show up, and we celebrate you! We don’t call attention to anything you feel not 100% confident about, but we do show you that every inch of you is worth loving and celebrating. We give you a space to show up as a whole person. We remind you that you’re more than a mother. We know you are an incredible mom, but you’re also fun, sexy, creative, comforting, vibrant, and unique. We invite you to celebrate all these amazing things about yourself; you’re worth the investment.
Mama, come celebrate yourself. Celebrate your postpartum body because you are a badass working so hard to show up for everyone. Remember to show up for yourself, too.
Inquire here, and let’s get you on the books; we can’t wait to have you!!
