I’ve wanted to shoot with Babe M, or as your may know her – Minerva aka Spooky Fat Babe, for a long time! I’ve been an admirer of her Instagram and website since I created my IG account, and our schedules finally aligned! I was excited (and a little intimidated) to shoot with her because when it comes to body positivity, she knows what’s up.
Her body positive mentality and understanding about disability make her a strong ally for anyone struggling with self-love. I’m so happy we had a chance to meet and create an empowering, body positive shoot.
Since Wisconsin has officially reached winter temps, we decided to do a comfy cozy shoot. I’m a big fan of oversized sweaters in the winter time, and I think they make awesome boudoir accessories. Minerva brought super cozy sweaters and the cutest bra and panty ever from Torrid, which she recommends for plus-size babes looking for lingerie.
We had a great time, and I love the artwork we created together. If you’re looking for more body pos babes to follow and learn from, find Minerva on Instagram.
