Hey Victoria!! I was that way too when I started! The biggest challenge is that, and getting over it. The confidence issue gets in the way a lot, so you really have to learn to love yourself. I learned how to love myself through modeling, believe it or not. :) You just have to go into every photo shoot with a smile on your face, and be sweet to everyone. It sets good vibes, email me if you have any more questions! Or if you have some pictures, I would love to see some work! mandy(at)thecurvymodel(dot)com!!
