"Right now I feel free, I feel empowered, I feel like I've never felt better.
So this photoshoot was definitely a culmination of all those feelings.
When I first saw the proofs right after our session I was very critical of myself. I wish I had lost a few more pounds before I had the shoot.
But now looking at the photos, I'm like, 'I look pretty good!'
After I became single again I was like I need to look really good if I wanna have a chance finding love again. I had this really high bar that I had set for myself.
Looking at those photos I think I feel like I've met my bar.
I've lost 50 pounds over the last 5 years. I've been really into health and exercise and that shows in those photos.
I feel triumphant.
For the last few months I have been telling myself that hey that I've met all my financial goals. And now, it's time for me.
My 20s were about my career, my 30s were about my kids, and my 40s are going to be about me."
