If you’ve read my post titled Body Image and the C word, then you get why I’m passionate about breast cancer and supporting women who are working to rebuild their lives and their bodies after surgery.
And, I guess, I just really think that every woman deserves to be sexually empowered and to love the body she lives in.
That’s why when Dr. Kamakshi Zeidler asked me to take sensual photos of the breast reconstruction clients ,I jumped at the chance. By the end of the 2 day photoshoot, I had the opportunity to meet and capture 38 women with amazing stories to tell. Some of their stories will be featured here throughout the month, so check back for more.
The photos will be on display at the Breast Reconstruction Awareness ( BRA ) day gala Dr. Zeidler is hosting on October 13th at the beautiful Hotel Valencia in Santana Row. This annual event is open to the public and honors all of Dr. Z’s clients and their families. If you’d like to attend, tickets can be purchased at cancercarepoint_braday2016.eventbrite.com Come say HI as I will be there wearing my favorite piece of couture, SONY.
I can’t even begin to tell you what a thrill it was to donate my time and team to helping these women rediscover their strong sexy selves. The photoshoot was a marathon with plenty of challenges along the way; we even lost power for a few hours in the middle of the hair/makeup as well as the strobes during the photoshoot. Just a bit of chaos. But, me and my super team pulled it off, and the women were troopers. Hey, if they can beat breast cancer and then the reconstruction process… they can handle a little creative hair drying techniques. Thanks to my beauty team!!
We started on Saturday morning and did 38 shoots by Sunday afternoon. Then I lightly edited them all and began sitting with each woman 3 days later to review her images and choose her complimentary 8×10 print . That is hard work, sure! But I think it’s worth it, because every woman deserves to own a sultry artist print of herself, showing off her beautiful magical body. And I’m just the woman to give these spectacularly sexy women survivors that fun liberating experience.
Viva La Boobs!
