This is a photo that I commissioned a fellow photographer to take of me. She is ridiculously talented. Amanda Diaz is the photographers name. (Here is her deviantArt account:

I did this shoot to celebrate my curves. Women today are taught by society to think poorly of their curves and want stick thin figures. For most of us, we cant be healthy and be stick thin. And like many girls, I struggled emotionally and physically trying to achieve a body that society would appreciate.
But then one day I realized that I am beautiful. Curves and all. And I don't need to lose a bunch of weight to make society see that. I just need to celebrate it the same way that skinny girls celebrate theirs.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. 1 Peter 3:3-6
You're a very beautifull woman, you can be proud and not ashamed at all of who you are !
And you're a talentfull photographer... So, you're perfect !
