The social media are filled with images of airbrushed, filtered and plastic people teaching us how to be perfect. We’re constantly bombarded by “perfection” and images of what we’re supposed to look like, that we’re forgetting what human connections and genuine emotions look like.
Luckily, there are people on the Internet that are eager to remind us. Meet Arryn and Stephanie. They’re an ordinary couple from Texas that have done a truly extraordinary photoshoot. The shoot was done by photographer Bria Terry, from Wolf & Rose Photography. She uploaded her photos on the page and the photos went instantly viral.
What was so special about these photos that took over the Internet? You just have to see the photos and see their magic. The photos are filled with chemistry, love, beauty and confidence and people were thrilled to see those forgotten emotions in photos.
“This makes my heart so happy and gives me hope as a plus size woman that not all men care about what size you are” is just one example of the body positive message that this photoshoot, breaking the mold of societal expectations, has inspired.”
Stephanie has used this opportunity to give a body positive message to millions of people around the world that struggle with unrealistic expectations imposed by social media.
“I remember being in junior high and looking at myself in the mirror, wondering why my stomach wasn’t the way it was ‘supposed’ to be. Over the years, I’ve come to accept that I am always going to be considered plus-size. I push myself out of my comfort zone by wearing clothes that I love but aren’t in society’s mold of what is acceptable for bigger women, like crop tops, tight shirts, shorter dresses and shorts. I walk around with my head high, smiling, and show no shame in myself. I honestly have never felt more attractive. I was shocked. I look so in love and confident. Every person should be able to see themselves in that light. It is really eye-opening, “ says Stephanie.
