"I sometimes hate this broken body of mine. It's difficult not to when my scar is so prominent and unavoidable when I look in the mirror. Hormone replacement therapy and comfort eating has earned me twenty extra pounds in the last two years (I'm cringing as I type that). My deflated baby bump is visible in these shots. My hair is patchy and my skin is dry. But I don't see any of that when I look at these photos. I see a balance of strength and softness that I didn't know I possessed." -Hillary When I put the call out for a few boudoir 'test' models Hillary responded almost immediately and I knew right away that I had to take her photos. That she needed these photos. I felt like these photos would allow her to see herself as the strong women she is... and extremely gorgeous of course! These past few years have a been a little bit crazy for her. She writes about it on her blog Hillary with Two L's. As well as being an incredible human, she's hilarious and a great writer so I encourage you to go and have a look around. I think you will also come to admire her strength and character. She also wrote a little bit about her boudoir experience here.
I'm so happy I was able to do these for her. And I'm so happy with how they turned out. A few favorites -
