Just recently a young couple’s lovely photoshoot went viral.

Not only did it go viral, but it also managed to get amazing responses from people around the world over its powerful message about body positivity.

The pictures are of Stephanie and her fiancé, Arryn. A young couple from Overton, Texas. 

This entire photoshoot was done by Bria Terry of Wolf & Rose Photography

Terry said, “I’ve honestly never seen two people more in love. The way he looks at her in those photos, that’s an all-the-time thing with him. He treats her like she hung the moon and the stars.”

Stephanie told that she felt very good about herself during the photo shoot.

“I wasn’t worrying about how I looked, I was just looking at Arryn and that made me feel confident,” she said.“He looks at me all the time, but the way he looked at me during the photo shoot, I could feel it was different because I could focus on him.”

Stephanie said that her state of shock over the popularity her photoshoot got was almost unreal.

Her photoshoot became people’s favorite! Don’t believe that? Look at these pictures yourself and see how beautiful they are.

However, not everyone cares and feels the same way.

After the pictures went viral, Stephanie’s employer Austin Bank Texas N.A., greeted her by showing “concern” on behalf of the company and said it might affect the company’s reputation.

Stephanie said, “They said I was topless and it was inappropriate, and we’re a family-oriented company.” She said all she was wearing was a swimsuit bottom and a strapless top that you wear with backless dresses.

She told us that the company fired her over this.

“There was no defending myself; they had made their decision,” she said. “I gave over a year to a company that I worked really hard for and then to have them turn on me for doing something so positive, something that I was so proud of — to help myself as a woman — it was hurtful. People were pulling out their phones at work and showing the pictures and that was blamed on me.”

Stephanie said their reaction over her photoshoot is greatly “disheartening” and she is not okay with it one bit.

“As a company, if they feel what I do outside of my job is going to jeopardize their business, that’s fine. It’s just disheartening to me because I feel like home life and work life are two totally different things. I was a model employee, I was moving up fast. I had a promotion within seven months. This one thing, for me, was the reason I was booted,” Stephanie said.

Against all the odds and obstacles that came her way, Stephanie said that she is still proud of the photos and fully supports it, as does Arryn. “He knows it puts out a good message and helps me in my self-confidence, and how I feel about myself. He’s all about it.”

Happy endings aren’t just in movies and stories. And just like that, with all great things that came their way, the couple is now expecting a baby boy.
