I am sick of getting punished for trying to normalize female sexuality! I am tired of being ostracized for embracing the beauty of the female form.

Why is it “normal” and accepted to have images of violence and war? Why do we allow our children to play games that promote hatred and listen to songs that encourage greed and gluttony but squirm when asked if you want to have a print made from your boudoir session? I hear so often, “I don’t want my kids to see me in this way.” Why!? Why can’t we be proud of our bodies and our sexuality? Show them that it is NORMAL to be sexual, use this as a learning tool, a door to openly discuss safety and love in a sexual environment. If anything, use it to show them that you love yourself enough to display yourself as a work of art.

In Naomi Katz’s book, “Beautiful: Being an Empowered Young Woman,” she quotes, “By speaking honestly, we create a culture that embraces female sexuality without demeaning it, a culture that honors the most basic human desire and the beauty of women’s bodies.”

Stepping off of my soap box now…
