Breast Cancer Boudoir: Celebrating Resilience and Beauty

Empowering survivors to embrace their beauty, strength, and scars through transformative boudoir photography.

The Mission Behind the Lens

The Breast Cancer Confidence Project is a dedicated nonprofit organization with a mission to uplift and empower women who have faced the challenges of breast cancer. Through the art of boudoir photography, the project seeks to help survivors overcome body image challenges, embrace their scars, and celebrate their resilience.

The Inspiration: Michaela Raes' Personal Journey

At the age of 28, Michaela Raes faced a life-altering breast cancer diagnosis. This challenge, coupled with her existing body image concerns, led her to book a boudoir session just days before her treatment. As she navigated the tumultuous journey of cancer treatment, Michaela found solace and empowerment in boudoir photography. Her personal experience became the catalyst for the Breast Cancer Confidence Project, aiming to offer the same healing and empowerment to others.
