WTF is a body image educator?

I get this question a lot, which I like because I get to tell people what I live for.

I used to identify as a body image expert...
But that implies I know EVERYTHING about body image and while I'm an authority on the subject, that phrase felt like I had nothing else to learn.

Then I used to identify as a body image activist...
Because I was fighting for people to remove systemic barriers from their body image and while I do that in SOME aspect, I found it lent little room for compassion & meeting people where they are.

So then I thought about what I DO...
Regardless of whether it's through photography, speaking, writing, etc. my goal has always been
to uplift & help people find joy within their authentic being...

but to do that I need to help them get their insecurities outta the way first.
And for most, it starts in the body & what it represents.

So, I educate people & share what I learn using both traditional knowledge & firsthand experience.
I'm a body image explorer for myself first, then a body image educator for others.
I learn something, apply it to myself and then teach from experience.

Through workshops, retreats, speaking engagements, community, photoshoots & online courses I help other leaders & creatives shift their focus from changing their bodies to changing the world because God knows the world benefits more from self acceptance than it does from self destruction.

So, that's what this body image educator does & is.

If you are a heart-centered leader or creative that wants to ditch your inner critic for an inner badass, then make sure to stick around!

I'm heading to London today and I am so excited to meet up with and continue our shenanigans in another country.

This is a throwback to a shoot I did with Chloe in London in 2018 in the tiniest hotel room so I had to be creative with how I shot - I used a lot of mirror play, put a glass in front of the lens to blur out the big tv, and eventually heading outside.

I am excited to connect with some folks this time around and create some art as well - so if you are in London, South Hampton, or Glastonbury let's make some magic!!!

My talk wasn't just for me...

First, it was for anyone who hasn't let themselves exist in photos for most of their lives

But it was mostly for my fellow photographers.

You see, I wanted to have something that could be used as a resource to help them help their clients see themselves in their photos differently.

As a photographer for the past decade, I've provided my clients with objectively beautiful imagery (toot, toot) but sometimes they still couldn't see what I saw.

That's when I started to set expectations for my clients before they saw their photos about what their brains may try to do...and I saw a HUGE change in how my clients processed what they were seeing!

The reveal process can be anxiety inducing and nerve wracking because of all the bu****it we've been taught about ourselves & bodies - by understanding WHY empowers us to not just shift how we see ourselves in those images, but all images moving forward.

So, my photographer friends, I have a wee gift for you...

A "Reveal Prep Email Script" which features a link to my Tedx talk + a few techniques to help get your clients prepped before their reveal.

Life of A Showgirl but Teri Style

Seeing the visuals for the new album made me nostalgic for my past work when I was in my own showgirl era of photography - where glitter, sequin, faux fur, and neon lights took center stage 🥰

I see you.

You have a vision for the world you want to see.
You have a burning in your tum(and no, it’s not acid reflux)
Your intuition is yelling at you to take center stage, to find your voice, to step up and stand out

Your brain says:
“Who do you think you are?”
“That’s for people that look like...”
“I’ll never be as successful because...”
“Of course they can do that, but that’s just not for me...”
“People will laugh...”
“People will think...”
“People will make fun of the way I look if I....”

So you say:

“I wish...”
“I will...”
“Someday...”
“When I change xyz THEN I’ll...”

And nothing changes.
And the world doesn’t change.

But imagine if you could remove the insecure thoughts, release the fear, and show up for the people that desperately need your message?

Personally, I think that’s the best f**k you to the systems that make us feel like this in the first place.
And secondly, we actively change the world when we start showing up as our authentic selves.

A special kinda magic happens when you shift your brain from focusing on shape-shifting, submitting, & second-guessing to purpose, passion & power.What you have to say & do in this world is important. People are magnetized to you because of what you can inspire in them.

I was about to say that no one cares what you look like, how old you are, or the things you perceive to be your flaws...but that’s not true.

There are people that need to see someone LIKE YOU with that body, that age, that “flaw” DOING the thing you love to do.

It proves that it’s possible for them too.

So, make peace with the parts you are afraid of and no one will be able to take your power away.

And to help you get started, I have a ton of different resources for you depending on where you are on your body image journey!

Self Love & Empowerment in Photographic Form

[email protected]

I began my journey into what I call Empowerment photography back in 2014 when I realized there was a lack of diversity of bodies being featured in photographs. As a woman of action, I knew I had to do something so I delved headfirst into bo***ir photography. My reason for why I do bo***ir extends far beyond just photos...photography is just the skill that I have, it’s my medium. My message, however, is loud and clear from the moment you come in the studio - YOU ARE WORTHY OF BEING DOCUMENTED. After photographing hundreds of women I have noticed that we are both unique and indifferent at the same time. If I had a dollar for every woman that said she never looks good in photos, I wouldn’t have to charge for my services. So I have taken it upon myself to not only leave you with amazing imagery to look back on, but also take you on an emotional journey to truly see yourself for the woman that you are. I have studied and continue to study body image, psychology, and the body positive movement to help bring my babes one step closer to loving themselves. THP Studios is just one spoke of a much larger Empowerment wheel because at the end of the day while knowing that your body IS beautiful, you also need to know that you are so much more than just a body.
