Whenever I met Lu I had an overwhelming feeling inside of me that screamed “this woman is a freaking BADASS” and of course I was right! Every shift we had together we would connect and I’d just learn about her life. What an incredible journey this girl has had! We talked about photos before and one day I simply asked “want to meet after work for your photoshoot?” Summertime allowed us to have a later session and I love the lighting of dusk in my bedroom, so we came to my house and started to create!

Once the session finished, we got to talk a bit more and she told me how important the photos were for her because of how others made her feel about her own body. To be so vulnerable and to expose yourself isn’t easy but it definitely helps with your self-love journey.

Thank you for trusting me, Lu. You are amazing, girl!

With love,
