“I’m feeling too fat to be photographed…”

… Unfortunately, many of us say or think this all too often.

I came across this moving read this morning (link below).
‘I nearly left this earth with no physical evidence of the goofy, wide open and loud love I have for my life, my husband, my family and friends.’ – A sobering reminder that we need to be easier on ourselves and allow ourselves to enjoy this life that we’re so fortunate to have (without worrying so much about how we look while doing it – indeed, you look beautiful to others!).

As a photographer I aim to get the most ‘flattering’ pictures possible for my clients, but one of my great joys is also capturing those *real*, special moments full of feeling. 10+ years from now, those are the ones we’re most likely to smile about as they transport us back to those wonderful moments lived.
