Allie Monday is a woman-centered high-end boudoir photographer who believes women are "badasses and should be photographed that way." She doesn't airbrush, photoshop, or gloss over a woman's beauty. Instead, she highlights it, exactly as it is.

She has learned that when she gives other women a chance to see and know themselves through the lens of a loving camera and a compassionate photographer, a woman transforms.

And she has learned that every body is a canvas and every woman an amazing piece of art.

Here Allie shares it all: her truth, the truth of the women she photographs, and the undeniable truth in the beauty of every woman who lets herself be seen just as she is.

Some things we talk about:

• her thoughts on overcoming an eating disorder and being ten years sober
• leaving the airbrushed world of wedding photography for the world of
  boudoir and
• doing what you love no matter how bold or terrifying
