Behind every before+after is such a rich story. When I think of the year you had, Sara: the celebration, the unexpected health hurdles, the realization that your kids are growing up, and the courage to get in front of the camera though you normally avoid it... I beam when I think of your experience and how meaningful it was. Thank you for trusting me and shining so bright! You are incredible, and I hope you got to see the beauty the rest of us see in you.
These two: a spark over a decade ago and then last year they were reunited. A few weeks ago in London Aaron asked Shelby to spend forever with him, and she said Absolutely. What a joy it is to celebrate their love - Separate journeys that they now know had to happen before they could start a journey together.
These women. They fill my life and heart with so much joy. Galentines Day has become a real tradition with us and it’s so uplifting each year! Tell the women in your life that they mean a lot to you, and never stop building each other up 💗
“I’ve never felt so beautiful. “ - @nattyneou I’d like the let the intensity of that sentence hang in the air for a moment. If you’ve done a shoot with me in the past year, Natalie was probably your makeup artist. Getting to turn the focus onto this girl (and her best friend) for a day was so joyful and life-giving. I got to witness a woman show herself the love and care she effortlessly and consistently shows to others. Natalie, thank you for stepping out and being proud of the amazing person you are. You’re going to continue to do amazing things and inspire so many people along the way! I’m so grateful to know you and have you on my team.
“and i said to my body. softly. ‘i want to be your friend.’ it took a long breath. and replied ‘i have been waiting my whole life for this. “ Nayyirah Waheed
If I could encourage you today, I’d say Don’t put yourself in a box. You are not black and white - you are millions of shades of each, and those change throughout your life. When women come to me to plan their photoshoot they say , “I’m old. “ “I can’t wear ______. “ “Well I’d love to wear red but I don’t think I could pull it off... “ Guess what: You love something? Then it’s a reflection of you. You’re drawn to something? It’s YOU. What I offer at my studio an opportunity to look in the mirror, be real about who is looking back at you, and then c e l e b r a t e her. It’s an opportunity to take a much needed break from the ever present messages that tell us (and sell us) the ways we fall short. I don’t know about you, but I’m over it. I’m so over critiquing myself in the mirror each morning and feeling insecure about being my authentic self. I’m over the self-hate and the hiding and the shame. Each morning I wake up and tell myself, If you accomplish nothing today you are still worthy, loved, and enough. And then I breathe a sigh of relief and it becomes a lot easier to look in the mirror. And as I begin to go easier on myself, I go easier on others too. Today, be kind to yourself. And if you fail, it’s okay. Every day is new and I’ll be here cheering you on.
