To piggy-back off of my previous post (which you can read here!), which was all about how I ask mamas what (if any) risk they'd like to take during a session with me, here are some of the mamas' responses to my questionnaire question about bravery. The question is: Is there anything you'd want permission to do during the session that might require bravery? A risk you'd like to take? "Breastfeeding photo and even just being in underwear only for some pics with [the boys]." "Nursing, being confident in my 3rd kid, postpartum, 42 year old skin." "Relax! Let go of my self-consciousness." "I’m an open book. I struggle with body confidence but I believe that I will be able to overlook that in order to capture this time in my life." "I think of this project not only as bonding but as a nod to body positivity, which is something I’m more likely to grant others permission to accept than myself. I want to celebrate this perfect newborn and the body that made it." "I'm a pretty everything on the table gal. But getting my photo taken in general is very hard for me. I do not like photos of myself. Let alone photos of my body. I'm doing this because I know I will cherish these in 15 years. But right now? I don't feel like it." "I, like many, pick every photo of myself apart. I’d like to be able to trust your skills and do what you ask of us." "I’m not breastfeeding and that makes me worry about our intimacy. I’d like to capture that somehow." "To be nude with the baby. Eeek that's a bit scary." "Being partially naked/topless, being comfortable expressing the authentic tenderness for our family in front of you." "I'll think more, but perhaps something that shows my stomach rolls."
