Cancer is a thief. It steals time, dreams, hopes and even lives. It is among the most dreadful diseases, and in the case of breast cancer, robs women of their self-image — leaving in its wake confidence issues. Femininity can, and often does, take a back seat when a woman is fighting for their life.To get more news about 国产xxxx色视频在线观看香蕉, you can visit our official website.

A Dickinson-based photography studio, Krystal Kester Photography, is seeking to inject a little self-compassion, reduced anxiety and confidence into area women through one-of-a-kind boudoir luxury experience — for victims of domestic violence, ravaging diseases and more.

Like most entrepreneurs, Kester started off small and with an idea about what her business would be in the local community. After her first client’s photos were revealed, she knew that she was offering something more that even she could have imagined at the outset. Kester says it started with back-to-back sessions, one of which was a mother who had just had a baby and felt that she had “lost herself.”

“When they came back for their reveals, that is what sold me on doing boudoir specifically,” Kester said. “Seeing that new mom come in and see herself from my point of view and the different images that she didn't think were possible… she left with happy tears. Their reveals and watching the transformation in them right in front of me is why I had to continue doing it.”

Kester’s mission now has the all-female photo studio seeking ways to help empower women as they embark on their next step in the healing process.“I want to highlight that beauty isn’t only skin deep,” she said. “We want to bring back the confidence side of women that was lost or that they never knew was there.”

Boudoir is an often stigmatic photographic style that features intimate, sensual, romantic and sometimes erotic images of its subjects in a studio setting. Something that has garnered a few hushed whispers and clutched pearls in the Western Edge’s ultra-conservative society.

Sue Novak shared her astonishing story and unbelievable spirit as a breast cancer survivor, and what drove her to sit for a risqué photoshoot. The double mastectomy and chemo survivor shared how she was tired of the scars defining her as a person in her own mind, and said she did her photoshoot not just for herself, but for all survivors who still have to struggle with the aftermath of the disease.If you had asked Novak what beautiful meant before her bout with cancer, she said she would have most likely attributed it to a small body and perfect skin. That would have been her answer before the paradigm shifting experience she had with a group of women at KKP studios.

“Crystal was really awesome in the photoshoot. I had an idea and she loved it, went with it and the pictures just turned out amazing,“ Novak said. “I couldn't believe it was me in those pictures. I just looked like a totally different person, but I was proud of the way the photos turned out.”

Novak said both Kester and Shauna Pengelley, office manager and one of three photographers at the studio, helped rebuild her confidence and that the boudoir session redefined how she viewed beauty and herself.

“Those ladies are so special to me and they hold such a dear place in my heart, because they really helped me see the true beauty that I have and the beauty that shows from the inside out,” Novak said. “If anyone is possibly contemplating doing this, my advice is just go for it. Be the one to get out there and I don't want to use another person's tagline but, ‘just do it’ because you'll be happy that you did.”
