I’m still so taken aback by the overwhelming response and support for my 40 Over 40 Project.

Looking through these photos from the day, I’m just grateful beyond words that you have each been a part of this journey. Thankful that you’ve let me show you a glimpse of beauty in places you couldn’t see before.

I appreciate you all. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Why We Include Hair and Makeup
(And Why You'll Love It!!) ⬇️


We include Professional 👩‍🦱 Hair and Makeup💄 in our bo***ir, glamour, and headshot sessions for ✌🏼 two reasons:

1️⃣ The first is professional studio hair and makeup is DIFFERENT than the makeup we do everyday for work or to hang out with girlfriends over dinner.

It is done to work with our studio lights and cameras. The artist will help to accentuate your bone structure, eyes, etc. which will really stand out in your photos!

Our Hair and Makeup Artists will work with you on creating the perfect look that best suits you and your style!

_________________________

2️⃣ The second reason is that Bo***ir can be a little intimidating for most people and that's totally understandable! We want to make this experience as relaxing and stress-free as possible for you, which is why we include Professional Hair and Makeup.

Most women walk through our door on the day of their session anxious for their shoot, but we have found that this all goes away once their hair and makeup is done! Your confidence gets a little boost when you look in the mirror and see your bombshell curls and makeup.

So come on in and let us take great care of you!! Your pictures will be amazing!!!

The Chosen album is our most popular product, by far. That’s actually how it got it’s name. It was “chosen” most by our clients!

It has an amazingly smooth beveled glass cover and your choice of genuine or vegan leather for the spine and back. It’s pages are thick and buttery soft and SMOOTH!!! This thing weighs about as much as a wet basket of laundry!

It’s available in a few sizes, and all are stunners!

Let’s put you in the next one I make!

The Chosen Album. 11x14 or 8x11. Perfect in every way.

Things I want my daughter to know about friendship:

1. Not everyone is going to like you. It’s okay. (I know it won’t always feel like that’s true, but I promise it is).

2. Not everyone is going to invite you. That’s okay too.

3. You’ll never regret kindness. (Never ever).

4. If you constantly have to tiptoe around them, they’re not your people.

5. You get to choose them, so choose the ones who are choosing you back.

6. Have high standards when it comes to friends, but don’t be unrealistic. They’re going to mess up, so are you. Grace is essential.

7. Be yourself. Let other people be themselves right back.

8. You can’t have friends if you don’t know how to be a friend. Focus on being the best friend you possibly can.

9. Don’t wait. You’re allowed to do the inviting and the reaching out too.

10. Listen.

11. If you want them to be there for the big stuff, you’re gonna have to be there for each other in the small stuff too.

12. Don’t knowingly leave people out. It doesn’t feel good.

13. Gossip is garbage.

14. Drama is too. Stay above the fray, and feel free to walk away.

15. You can’t be best friends with everyone. But you can notice everyone. You can smile at everyone. You can say hello to everyone. You can be good to everyone and make sure people feel seen.

16. It’s better to be genuinely loved by a few than fake loved by a few thousand.

17. Popularity for the sake of popularity is pointless.

18. Your worth will never come from others. You have to learn to accept yourself if you want others to accept you.

19. Give more than you take, but don’t be anyone’s doormat. Your momma didn’t raise you right so you could be walked all over.

20. Your friends should be good to you, but they should also be good to other people. If they’re nice to you and then turn around and talk smack about others, they’re not nice.

21. Be loyal. Stick up for your friends whether they’re around or aren’t.

22. Friends aren’t toys to be discarded when you get bored. Deep friendships take time and commitment.

22. Show up for your friends even if they didn’t ask you to. If they’re going through something hard check on them, sit with them, and bring them flowers. Be present, even if it feels awkward.

23. If Mama don’t like them, there’s probably a good reason.

24. Friendship is one of the most important things you can invest in in life. Make the time.

25. If you get hurt, I’m always here for a hug, and to talk, I’ve been there. Give yourself time and grace to heal, but listen my love, don’t close yourself up and don’t shut yourself away. Opening up your heart again is worth the risk. I love you to the moon and back,

Love, Mama

70 years on the throne! A true .

Queen Elizabeth II became monarch at age 25 and led a life devoted to public service and in the public eye.

Today she left us as she finished a race well run.

If you’ve not watched The Crown, it’s a fascinating glimpse into her life.
