Beauty at Every Size - Idaho Falls Photography

Women are so hard on themselves!  We tell ourselves we're not good enough and we're not pretty enough.  If I had a dollar for every time a woman told me that she really wants family pictures, BUT she wants to lose a few pound, I wouldn't even have to take pictures for a living!

YOU are beautiful.  Just the way you are right now.  Whether you're overweight or underweight, tall or short, rich or poor.  Even better, your children love you EXACTLY as you are.  In the time we wait for the pounds to come off, our haircut to grow out, or the perfect outfit to show up, our children are getting bigger (and we're getting older).  We need to be ourselves.  We need to document our family.  And we NEED to be a part of that family now.

These brave women are all size 16 and bigger.  They have suffered losses, triumphs, and live lives much similar to you and I.  They are not models.  But they did choose the embrace themselves and their bodies for one day so that a group of photographers (led by myself and Kandice McDermott Photography) could work on posing them and bringing out the beauty that is in each one.

There is no photoshop manipulation body shapes on any of these images!
