Fat Joy Friday | Fat-positive photographer in Seattle, WA

ByLindley Ashline

It’s time we started a new series here. How about Fat Joy Friday?

Fat joy is precious, perfect and vital.

The world we live in encourages fat people not to feel joy, tells us we don’t deserve it, tries to steal it away.

It’s a rare day of winter sun here outside Seattle, and I’m puttering around my portrait studio here at Alcove House, drinking in the light pouring through the windows and capturing the small details that make up my surroundings.
