While I’ve never been a huge fan of Valentines Day in and of itself, I am a HUGE proponent of celebrating love any chance you can get- especially love for your own damn self! So when this beauty reached out to me about setting up a session to do just that- celebrate her own love for herself and being her own badass valentine- I was absolutely down for that! I LOVED this session. It was full of the best energy, self love and celebration, and Cat completely owning her own sensuality. This incredible human is truly a delight to be around, and I find her intentional work on self love to be so inspiring. We deserve to be in love with ourselves- every bit of our glorious being. Does that mean we have to be this perfect creature that loves every tiny bit of ourselves and our body perfectly? Absolutely not. WE are not perfect, and that’s OK!! But showing up for ourselves, treating ourselves kindly and gently, and working to find acceptance of our identity and body exactly where it is right now, is one of the the most beautiful, loving, and revolutionary acts we can do for ourselves. Give yourself a hug, maybe throw some flower petals around and eat chocolate, or even just look in the mirror and tell yourself how much you love YOU!
