Directly from my client.
In her words:
I am calling this my “Journey “ post because I, like many of you, have been, and CONTINUE to be , a work in progress and on this journey to self love and discovery.
.
I always wanted to do a “sexy photo shoot” but I was afraid , nervous, didn’t think I was ready and embarrassed to even look into doing one. 😔
.
I would think to myself , I don’t want to look at my body in lingerie in private let alone in front of a stranger. Yeah, in the group Maura seemed to have a huge following and everyone loves her, but I didn’t know her … so I stayed on the sidelines and watched … for almost a year.
.
During that time on the sidelines , I started thinking about what to give to my future husband as a wedding gift, I watched some more pondering And trying to get the nerve to message Maura for info.
.
My love for him and wanting to do something for the night before the wedding, I took the leap and booked it. Closed my eyes and pushed the button to BOOK! Eeekkkk Holy Crap, I did it.
.
I remember thinking WTF did I do. Well… here we go. I remember thinking “I need to go on a strict diet and get myself to the gym ASAP! I felt I needed to be thin. Truth be told I have NEVER been thin. I have been heathy weight but never “thin” so I wondered why I felt the need to be that for this shoot.
.
The day of the shoot I almost cancelled but I took a deep breath and went. I walked in to the most comforting, anxiety relieving hug I have ever received. Maura magic starts there … her complete embrace soothed every etch of nervousness right from me and the instant I felt comfortable and welcomed. I melted in the entry way of her studio.
.
The shoot took what felt like 10 min but lasted for hours. I had my hair and make up completed by a professional. I had champagne and we talked … I felt so blissfully relaxed 😌. Time spent with one of God’s angels was the most rewarding part of the experience.
.
She helped me see the beauty in myself where I mostly focused on the things I don’t care for. I mean, we all have them right. See what we don’t like and ignore the goodness of ourselves. She poured into my heart that day and it changed my thinking , my view , and my life.
.
After the wedding I booked another session, well, because I had a blast and I wanted to go all in and be more creative.
.
This time for the second shoot I had unintentionally gained 20# and it didn’t matter. I bared it all, body and soul, enjoying the moment of self love and self care through the Maura experience.
.
Then came the most recent shoot .. Last month. It was my 3rd photoshoot with the Magical Maura.
.
This time I went to her a different human. I changed woman. I had been watching her , listening to her and her self love coaching and teachings , book recommendations for self betterment and love. It changed me. She changed me.
.
I shed over 40# not because of vanity but because I love myself enough to want to love and take care of my body. I love myself and my body. I want it to Be healthy and able to do things without illness and daily pain.
.
Maura taught me self love and I did just that. I continue to love my body and my life everyday. The best form of self love is better health and the by product of that was weight loss.
.
My husband loved me during the 1st shoot, 2nd shoot and this shoot. So it wasn’t for what I looked like or how I view myself, it was to be healthy so I can enjoy more things in my life and I am no longer holding back.
.
When I see these pics, all of them I see a progression of love, a progression of self acceptance , and a reflection of health and wellness inside and out.
.
I challenge you … look at these pics , really look at them. See my eyes , my soul and hear my heart.
.
Don’t wait to do the shoot! Don’t continue to sit and watch. Take the step. Book it. It will change your life. I promise. Let Maura pour love into your heart and your soul like she has done for many of us.
.
Don’t wait to be “the perfect size”. Don’t wait to have longer hair , get a tan , lose weight , tone up, or the “perfect time”. There will NEVER be that.. long hair is sexy. Short hair is sexy. Curves are sexy. Slim is sexy. Tall is sexy. Short is sexy. Light skin is sexy. Dark skin is sexy.
.
We are all differently sexy and beautiful and I wanted to share with you all and challenge you all to love yourself because you can’t pour into anyone else is your cup is empty. Book your shoot and fill up your cup 🌟You won’t regret it.
