Hey friends, Savvy Here.
I just wanted to throw you a chat because a lot of people have been coming to me with the same issues. We will be talking about a photoshoot that they are really excited to do, have it all planned out, and then they finish the conversation with “we can schedule it after I loose the weight.
Now! I completely understand wanting to feel your best for your photos. I know all about wanting to wear a certain outfit and suddenly it doesn’t fit right and then you are self conscious during your photos. I completely get it.
But there is one thing that I have learned through the years and it started with a girl I went to college with. She was older than the rest of the dancers who were getting their degrees, but she told us “take pictures of yourself naked because you will regret it later in life when you wished you took photos of yourself.” I was young and thought I knew everything and was like of course my body will never change. It will always look like it’s twenty years old.
I was of course wrong, and there were so many times I looked back on photos I had and wish that I took more. Even photos from times where I wasn’t in the fittest of shape. I wanted them because it was a time that I was alive and beautiful, and even if I didn’t think it at the time, it is still true. Something that I would be able to show that I was there and I lived.
What is all of this coming to? Don’t wait. Don’t wait for the perfect circumstances or the perfect figure. Don’t wait for the perfect circumstances because there are none. There will always be a reason not to. So seize the day. Go take photos, and even if you don’t feel like you’re ready, take it slow. Do a small shoot. I will always want you to do a smaller shoot and do the photos than never take them at all.
Show the proof that you lived.
