We started to get more relaxed and into it. All the fabric and white robe and photo frames and props are things I brought, just in case. She felt like it was a really positive and empowering process. I'm glad she asked me to do this so that I could get the experience and I think I captured her beauty and interest in many of them.
My story
At the end of February, I had a mammogram. It came back that I needed an ultrasound. I had a feeling it would, because last year I had to have an ultrasound as I have cysts in my breasts (and in my ovaries). Many women do. At the ultrasound, they said they saw a spot on the mammogram but they couldn't see it on the ultrasound, so to be safe, they needed to do a biopsy. This entire process was from the end of February through the beginning of April this year. I was very nervous as I use my breasts to make income. There's no other way to say that. They do help me feel like a woman, but I use them. You all like my nipples. You like my breasts. What if they were gone. I would still model for anyone that would want that, but I knew I wouldn't get the same modeling gigs and following without them. So, I did as many shoots as I could, just in case, and recorded them myself in my own ways. Thankfully, the results came back benign. If anyone is curious, a biopsy does not hurt, but it costs $7,500+ and my insurance only pays about half of that, wtf.
I'm thankful for my shoot with my friend, because her strength and thoughts about her own process helped me feel strong through mine. I cried when they said benign, because it was such a relief. I'm not normally a crying type person.
I hope this wasn't a downer to anyone, but I think it's good to share these things so you can understand when women in your life may go through something similar. You can message or comment any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.
Anyway, happy with these photos. Constructive kindly stated feedback on my photography is always okay.
