I was 27 when I did this photoshoot. Getting older means a chance to appreciate how beautiful you are, if only in retrospect. I remember being very nervous for this photoshoot. I was still coming to terms with my nipples, my hips, and I had shaving bumps I worried would be noticeable. And I worried that while *I* knew I wasn't fat, that others would see it differently.

Now I'm 40, and I'd say I was a fool, except I had the good sense to take nude photos and prove myself wrong later.
