Andréa | Portland Plus Size Boudoir

Some photos from a group shoot I did in Brooklyn with Seattle’s Andréa Campbell (@PlusSizePioneer). Teri Hofford led a group on body positive posing (and a special thanks to her for the behind the scenes photos of me at the end).

I fucking love that curves, fat, dimples, cellulite, rolls, chub, thighs, squishy tummies and all the other TOTALLY NORMAL and wonderfully average body parts are, recently, seeing the light of day more and more. I want every person to feel that they deserve love, deserve beautiful photos, deserve to wear a swimsuit in public or a mini skirt or sleeveless shirts and for it not to be seen as a “fuck you” or a brave act but just a person… with a body… living their life.

Ok, so maybe it’s hardly fair to talk about all that when I’m about to show you some photos of Andrea, because let’s be real… she’s such a fucking babe I feel like she exists in this bubble of curvy model perfection. Obvs, that not reality for anyone but she IS an undeniable badass on a mission to change the norms in beauty and modeling media.
