Today’s conversation was with Liz Hunt about body positivity! Liz is a wedding, senior portrait, and family photographer located in Hampton Roads, Virginia.
She started my business in 2019 having no idea what she was doing, and within 3 years was able to leave her teaching job and support her family doing what she loves. When she’s not working or taking care of my 1 year-old daughter, I enjoy gardening, camping, and visiting the occasional winery.
I had the joy of coaching Liz through the first half of 2022 and got to see her heart for building an inclusive and body positive business up close. We both agreed that these aren’t topics that we hear talked about enough in the creative industry and recorded the podcast to share this message with everyone listening!
We chatted all things:
- Defining body positivity
- Liz’s journey with body positivity
- Creating an inclusive and body positive photography experience for clients
- Societal pressures of body image & building an inclusive brand
Memorable Moments & Quotes from today’s episode:
2:05 “The way your body looks doesn’t make you a better or worse person, it doesn’t make you any better or worse than anybody else.”
3:00 “Just helping people be able to appreciate those moments where they might not look Instagram picture perfect, but they can still appreciate what’s going on in the moment.”
9:52 “I decided pretty early on that I wanted to be somebody who showcased people of all different shapes sizes races sexual orientations. Everybody can fall in love and get married and it’s beautiful no matter what you look like.”
