I almost canceled my shoot with Brin...
I was very excited to say yes to the opportunity to do a bo***ir shoot, even though I was a mother of 4 kids. I had been a member of this group for a while and just loved all the photos I had seen.
But then the doubts started kicking in....the ones that told me I wasn’t in the best of shape yet or not sexy enough. Worse yet, I felt the staleness that is my life these days would show through the lens and I’d just look stupid. I really hesitated, and to be honest, I lost some sleep.
“Who am I kidding?”
“I’m only going to be disappointed.”
“I can do this another time.”
Out of fear of not being a bozo to this photographer, who had patiently rescheduled me and answered my questions, I couldn’t let her down. So I went ahead with the shoot.
First step was the make up, and it was amazing! I never knew I could look so glammed up.
Next, was the drive out to the studio. It gave me time to think, “Maybe this will be my ONLY opportunity to do this and there is no future time when this will work out again. Today is the day and I should be excited.”
The studio looks just like the pics, setting the stage with a dramatic and moody vibe. The outfits (which she has many!) were on fire! It was so hard to choose but Brin helped me with that.
The best part.... I didn’t have to come up with poses. She helped me through the entire session. And even though I was nervous and slightly shy, she made me feel comfortable in my own skin.
It was exhilarating to be the star of the show for the day!
Upon my first picture, I couldn’t believe it was me. She had to reassure me that it was. I looked stunning! But more so, I wanted to happy cry because Brin achieved what I had hoped for....that she would capture my essence.
Every now and then, when I’m feeling low or having an “ugly” day, I take a sneak peek at my photos and I am reassured of the woman I am.
I highly recommend Brin if you’re planning to do a bo***ir shoot. And if you’re on the fence, just do it. It might be your only opportunity.
Thank you, Brin! ❤️
