Hey there! It's me Tamara! The girl behind the camera. The girl who could only see her flaws for the longest time. Who grew up suffering from body dysmorphia. I had a dozen surgeries before the age of 10 and pretty much grew up in a hospital, I was told because of these surgeries I could not have children. After a sexual assualt, I was diagnosed with major depression with suicidal ideation at 11. When I was 19 I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic pain and told I would never be able to work again

Well here I am at 32, not just surviving but thriving. I'm a mother to two beautiful children, own my home, and am down to my last two pills despite being on dozens previously. I'm healthier and stronger than I have ever been. 

I made the decision after a serious suicide attempt at 19 that I was no longer going to allow pain to control my life. It hasn't been an easy journey, and there are still days where I feel like giving up, but I take a deep breath and remind myself that challenges are pushing me to grow, to make me stronger. 

I'm only just starting to learn to love my body. Boudoir has been a huge part of this journey for me. Helping people see the beauty and power of their own body is so healing. Seeing that every body type is beautiful, stretch marks, cellulite and acne and all, we are perfectly imperfect. We are all the same, but yet different and unique. And we are all beautiful, just as we are. 

Thank you for joining me on this journey. 

Much love

Tamara
