Something that I really adore about being a Columbia, South Carolina boudoir photographer is hearing the experiences and stories of each of my clients when it comes to their relationship with their bodies. I know several of us are not alone when it come’s to feeling like we just aren’t perfect enough. But through my journey as a boudoir photographer, I’ve felt nothing but positive and uplifting vibes from my boudoir studio bodies because I know that we are not alone. We always have the same thoughts and the same ideas when it comes to tackling self love. Today I want to share Lamaria’s testimonial and their boudoir photography in Columbia, SC.

In Lamaria’s Own Words

Growing up thin and sickly and I had always aspired to be strong! I felt unsupported as a student athlete in college where I dealt with injuries and other physical inadequacies. It was time I took matters into my own hands and began lifting weights and eating big to put on as much muscle as I possibly could! Along the way, there were plenty of negative comments like, “thats too heavy for you”, “don’t get too big!,” and “muscles are so manly,” and it took me a while to understand that they were coming from a patriarchal place of insecurity. I love being strong, and I love my muscles!

The pandemic has of course meant that I lost quite a bit of the muscle mass I worked for years to build, and I still getting used to my body looking and feeling different than normal. Im happy to say that I appreciate my body in all its phases. I love both the hard, lean body of rigorous training just as much as the soft, gentle lines of off-season untrained figure.

Lamaria’s Idea Of Self Love and Body Acceptance

My body is my own and I get to be as fucking sexy as I want to- no matter how I’m dressed or whether I choose to get dressed at all. Accepting this about my gender expression was huge for me. I love my body the most I possibly can! I cut no corners when it comes to indulging and feeling good. Whether that means moving a lot, sleeping a lot, eating a lot, or pampering a lot- I’m always doing a whole lot to show my bod how much I love and appreciate it!

Boudoir Photos Are Apart Of The Journey

I didn’t think these Columbia, SC boudoir photos would affect the way I saw myself at all, but I think it helped me come to terms with the way my body looks and feels right now as a more permanent state. Maybe I was a little delusional about how much muscle mass I was retaining after nearly a year of limited training. What I see right now is very far from what I thought I looked like in my mind.

I imagined I was much broader and thicker up top, and a lot harder down low. I love the way I look right now. Having the opportunity to indulge in simply viewing my body has helped shatter the vision of what I think I look like and these boudoir photos allowed me to show more love and attention to how I actually do look.
