Haven’t been sharing here much as Facebook has been pretty restrictive on bo***ir content lately, but an exception...
I have watched Clients laugh until they cry, and cry until they laugh through my lenses. I have watched them fall down. Literally. I have dried tears and massaged foot cramps and fixed hundreds of wardrobe malfunctions. I have watched vulnerability unfold at its best and worst. But I have never had a Client almost walk out of their session.
As I look at the final photos now, it’s hard to believe that anxiety almost cancelled such a special day for her. We have cultivated a society where beauty is partial to age and flawless skin and weight, a place where a mama who has nourished 3 babies struggles to find acceptance in stretch marks on a belly that once created life. Here is a reminder that while we will never change how the world views us, we can always change how we view ourselves..😌❤️🩹
“S and I wanted to thank you for an exceptional photo shoot today. She talked about it all the way home. She had to admit that she had an awesome experience and she credits that to you. Your suggestions, your words of encouragement and your compliments to and of her were all so powerful for her confidence, her security and self-worth. It was an absolutely amazing experience for us both. Thank you so much. I hope to see some of our pics on your site gallery.” -J
