My Just BE Self Portrait Journey: THE SHIFT (Part 3)
I don’t even know how to fully put this into words… but something shifted for me throughout my own Just BE experience.
I saw myself in a way I wasn’t expecting. Definitely not perfect, not how I imagined… just real. I felt so beautiful, so me, and so comfortable in my own skin.
I saw the changes (well, I’ll just say it… the aging) that I would have judged before… but instead, I just felt love, compassion, and true acceptance. Something much more nurturing than I’ve ever felt before.
Those old voices picking myself apart and judging have gotten so quiet. I’m no longer trying to hold onto past versions of myself anymore. I’m learning to BE where I am… and appreciate this version of me, right now.
And I just have to say…
every beautiful soul who has stepped in front of my camera to Just BE has been an inspiration to me. Thank you all.
Forever grateful. Let’s all keep rooting for each other to Just BE.
As a recent client said to me after her shoot:
“We all deserve to shine.”
