From Self-Doubt to Confidence: My Journey Through a Brand Photoshoot

For the last five months, I’ve been rising at 4:00 a.m. to walk in my neighborhood by 4:30 a.m. This early routine has transformed me into a morning person and carved out precious time for reading devotionals and Bible stories, mentally preparing me to tackle whatever the day throws my way. Alongside this, I’ve focused on healthy eating and making strides toward my weight loss goals.

In August, I partnered with the talented Joni Hough for a couple of exciting projects, one of which was a photoshoot to refresh both my brand and personal images. The night before the shoot brought its own set of challenges as I wrestled with selecting outfits that would flatter my changing body while effectively representing my brand. Balancing a desk job with a healthy lifestyle can be tough, and as I pieced together my outfits, I was hopeful they would shine on camera.

Amidst the anxiety of choosing outfits that would highlight my figure and express my identity, I grappled with self-image. Yet, despite these concerns, I remained confident in my choices.

On the day of the photoshoot, I was treated to the luxury of professional hair and makeup. However, the real game-changer was Joni’s expertise in posing. In those moments, I felt a surge of confidence and self-assurance. All the negative thoughts from the night before faded away, and as I look back at the photos, I see not just a reflection of my brand but also the newfound confidence I felt during the shoot. This transformation was something I could never have achieved with a self-taken or friend-shot photo.
