"When I hit my third trimester I fell into a bit of a dark hole. I saw how far my body had come and to think of how much farther it had to go terrified me. I mean really terrified me. I cried every day for at least two weeks. If Ted asked me how I was doing my eyes would just swell with tears. I didn’t recognize myself anymore and was afraid I never would. I definitely wasn’t getting the whole “isn’t pregnancy beautiful?” narrative. I wasn’t in a place where I could see that yet. I was so disconnected from the idea that I was or could be beautiful. My mental health suffered to say the least."

"I feel like you just gave me my confidence back and that is priceless Kiera"

"Kiera insisted on doing this shoot for me and i really felt like I was going to hate it (no offense, kiera 💕) I just wasn’t in a headspace to believe that pictures of this time of my life could bring me any joy. Being surrounded by strong beautiful women who could show me what I am, what I look like, and remind me what i’m doing was medicine for my soul."
