Shamelessly Feminine | One Man’s thoughts on the Vagina

Shamelessly Feminine | One Man’s thoughts on the Vagina

by Jen Rozenbaum | Jun 8, 2016 | ShamelesslyFeminine

I woke up this morning and like most mornings, reached for my phone and caught up on social media. First was snapchat where I found this gem of an article from Cosmo Mag. 10 things he thinks about your vagina. The title alone was comical, so I had to read on....

Boudoir | Every Woman Deserves a Boudoir Shoot (Part 2!)

by Jen Rozenbaum | Mar 29, 2016 | Daring, Fearless, ShamelesslyFeminine

I believe every woman can celebrate her unique femininity, shamelessly. This is what I live for. It’s why I am a photographer. It’s how I live my own life. It influences how I parent my daughter. When you come to me and shed your clothing and I photograph you, it’s...

Shamelessly Feminine | This is 40!

Shamelessly Feminine | This is 40!

by Jen Rozenbaum | Aug 4, 2015 | Intimate, ShamelesslyFeminine

Today is my 40th birthday. I almost made it up until midnight last night. I aborted my mission to do so around 11:35. I admit, I started feeling a little anxious. Not about turing 40, but about letting go of my 30’s. My 30’s were busy, fun,...

Don’t be an ass. Wear a mask. ⠀ ⠀ #psa #niko Don’t be an ass. Wear a mask. ⠀ ⠀ #psa #nikond850 #happytuesday #fishnets
She was one of those women whose features are not She was one of those women whose features are not perfect and who in their moments of dimness may not seem even pretty, but who, excited by the blood or the spirit, become almost supernaturally beautiful.⠀ Edmund Wilson⠀ ⠀ When I took this photo I was enamored by the way the petals were curled up and losing their vibrant color. ⠀ ⠀ It isn’t conventionally beautiful and at the same time it’s incredibly interesting and beautiful in its own unique way. ⠀ ⠀ People are the same way. Personally I am sick of the standards of conventional beauty. It’s time we question why we find certain things attractive or not. Is it innate? Something we are fed? ⠀ ⠀ Why are we always on the hunt for perfection? We will never get there because standards of beauty have actually become trendy! Yeah, trendy. That means that one day you could wake up and that gorgeous big booty you did 193847328 squats to attain, it isn’t fashionable any longer. ⠀ ⠀ The minute you are “perfect” by today’s standards, the standards change. ⠀ ⠀ What if you stopped trying to change the things that make you unique and you stepped in to the biggest version of yourself regardless of trends or standards. ⠀ ⠀ What if you loved your scars, cellulite, wrinkles, crooked noses, big ears or whatever else it is that you have spent years nitpicking in the mirror. ⠀ ⠀ I have news for you. All those things that you obsess over, people who love you don’t even notice. They see nothing but beauty. ⠀ ⠀ Don’t base your worth on what you see in the mirror. You are wrong. You are lovable and perfect and so unique. I wish you and I could see ourselves as others see us. That is the truest mirror of them all. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #nikon #nikonz7 #nikonz6 #nikonambassador #nikonnofilter #mirrorlesscamera #teamnikon #jenrozenbaum #loveyourself
Today is the third anniversary of my breast cancer Today is the third anniversary of my breast cancer diagnosis. ⠀ ⠀ There are things I didn’t know back then that I do now. ⠀ ⠀ One of them is that breast cancer isn’t a boob job. I naively figured that I would have a mastectomy followed by reconstruction and that my breasts would look better than ever. ⠀ ⠀ No doctor told me otherwise. Not one doctor told me that reconstruction is still a newer process and it’s changing constantly. All I saw was before and afters that made the process look seamless and dare I say even easy. ⠀ ⠀ What I wasn’t told was how many years and surgeries it took to accomplish the after. What I didn’t see was all the surgeries that weren’t successful. I wish someone had told me the reality. The reality I have found is most women I know need more than one surgery/procedure to get to a point of normalcy. The reality for me was that I had such a severe mastectomy that I was left with very thin skin and tissue being removed very high in my chest, adding layers of difficulty to my surgeries. I was never educated about that.⠀ ⠀ Instead I was told over and over by heartless surgeons that my deformed breasts looked “good enough” and I should just “be happy I am alive”. ⠀ ⠀ I took this selfie today, on my anniversary and 4 days post reconstruction surgery. My third surgery for those who are counting.⠀ ⠀ This anniversary has been the easiest one for me so far. Why? Well, I have a few suspicions, but one thing I know for sure is that I finally found a doctor who has empathy. Someone who heard my concerns and legitimized my feelings. A doctor who understands how important it is for a woman to look in the mirror and see someone they recognize. One who finally told me - good enough isn’t good enough. ⠀ Today, I have hope for the first time in a long time that I will heal and once again look in the mirror and see me. ⠀ Thank you to @dr.ronisraeli and the @nybra_plastic_surgery team for your commitment and care to the people treat. Thank you for putting me back together and thank you for giving me hope. ⠀ ⠀ #breastcancer #breastcancersurvivor #mastectomy #scarsaresexy #chemotherapy #natrelleallergan #breastreconstruction #cancerawareness #nikonz6
Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be us Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you. ⠀ -Ovid⠀ ⠀ If you are in pain today... emotionally, physically or spiritually, I want you to know you aren’t alone. I see you and I feel you. ⠀ ⠀ Pain is the hands of the sculptor. It molds us, changes us and makes us what we are. ⠀ ⠀ You can’t escape pain. Everyone has it. It’s what you do with it that counts. Sometimes, it’s even the best thing that’s ever happened to us. ⠀ ⠀ #nikonz6 #nikonnofilter #macrophoto #jenrozenbaum #nikonambassador
Three years ago today I had what I thought was a r Three years ago today I had what I thought was a routine mammogram. Turns out it was anything but. ⠀ ⠀ Since that day, I have pushed my body to its limits. I have asked it to be strong when I was weak. I have asked it to endure many surgeries and hooked it up to poison. I have gained weight, lost weight and gained it again. I have stripped my body of hormones. I have pumped it full of pain meds. It has taken a lot of abuse. ⠀ ⠀ I confess that I have been verbally abusive to my body at times. Calling it fat, thinking it is unworthy. I’ve been mad at it for causing me pain and not always showing up the way I wish it would. ⠀ ⠀ I almost didn’t post this photo. My first thought was how I couldn’t show my body this way. That my stomach looked gross and my breasts look deformed. ⠀ ⠀ I changed my mind today. As I am healing from my 4th major surgery in three years, I find the embarrassment of a few extra pounds fade. I look at my body and I’m in awe of all it’s been through because of cancer - for three years now! ⠀ ⠀ I am so grateful my body has risen up every single time it’s been knocked down. Today I want to share with you some thoughts about bodies:⠀ ⠀ Real bodies have imperfections. ⠀ Imperfections make you unique. ⠀ ⠀ Scars are damn sexy. ⠀ ⠀ Extra pounds don’t make you less smart, sexy, feminine, desirable or worthy. ⠀ ⠀ Our bodies are always changing. We will never be who we were yesterday and we have a choice of who we want to be tomorrow. ⠀ ⠀ To my body - thank you. Thank you for being my ally in the fight against cancer. Thank you for putting up with me and my silly ideas of what you “should” look like. ⠀ ⠀ Today, even in my pain - I couldn’t be more grateful for the gifts my body has given me. I am also so incredibly grateful for @dr.ronisraeli for putting me back together again. (I can’t wait to show you his amazing work) More on that coming soon! ⠀ #breastcancerbody #scarsaresexy #jenrozenbaum #thistleandspire #flawsome
