PAYSON, Ill. (WGEM) – Body positivity is something people struggle with all year long, but especially in the summer.<\/p>\n
Courtney Huff, owner of Huff Studio Designs, hosted an event called \u201cSummer Body Positivity.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBody positivity is just like such an important thing, it always has been a very important thing to me,\u201d Huff said.<\/p>\n
The event is meant to show people they can be comfortable and confident as they are at any time, even during summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the summertime when you know it\u2019s getting hotter, and everyone is a little more vulnerable. But I feel like now, more than ever, between the weather and just the way society is pushing whatever look to one way or the other, that I think it is important to remember that just as you are, there should be no pressure one way or the other,\u201d Huff said.<\/p>\n
The event went on for as long as people needed and was held in the scenic Falls Creek, where she hopes this one event impacts people when they leave.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know, you don\u2019t think something so small could do that, but if it can I\u2019m all for it and I am in full support of doing so,\u201d Huff said.<\/p>\n
Huff said that from other photo shoots she knows how much worth comes from helping someone love who they are.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, that means more than any price point could ever give. If I ever get that, that\u2019s the best and I\u2019ve succeeded,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
Huff wants those who struggle with body positivity to hear this message:<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope everyone can just love themselves as they are and truly. Like that, it sounds simple, but really, it\u2019s a big hard thing to do and I just hope everyone can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
