    Women are amazing. What an honor to be a part of the @noxyoga teacher training retreat, empowering these women with words, stories, and photographs.
    "My sister and I had an amazing time with Mitzi Starkweather! The makeover and pampering was so much fun! I LOVE our portraits and I’m so excited to have these moments forever to cherish with my sister. Thank you for Mitzi for bringing out our fierceness and beauty! ❤️❤️❤️ when you revealed our portraits I couldn’t believe that was me!" - Amanda What a joy it was to see you two encourage each other and celebrate your relationship. I'm so glad we could do this while Bethany was visiting from Michigan!
    First official Luxe shoot in the new studio... it’s hard to believe Katrina was nervous before the shoot AND the reveal. But, like usually happens, she saw her portraits and loved them. (Her husband was a big fan too.) I say this because it’s so very common that our clients get nervous before the shoot and then hope for “one decent one” at the reveal. But every time, they stare at themselves and they feel amazing. (Yeah, it never gets old.) And what a joy and honor that is to witness ❤️ So if you’re wondering if you could ever love a photo of yourself - know I’m here, ready to create it for you, whenever you’re ready.
    I wrote about the way I felt when I looked up and saw the emptiness of my old studio as we moved into the new one (full blog at link in bio.) “I started to cry. So I sat down. I thought about the women who'd had their hair and makeup done in that room. I remembered how thrilled I'd been about "all the space" when we bought our new house. I thought about the nervous souls that entered and how they seemed to float away when they left. The emotions were wonderful and overwhelming. What a beautiful space for a beautiful time. I learned more about my clients, my craft, my passion, and myself during those two years than I can even express. I will always honor the time I ran a portrait studio from my home, because now I see how necessary this step was for myself and my business. It's easy to get stuck in the past or the future. "Remember when..." or "Someday..." Both ideas have their place, but I think we do ourselves a huge disservice when we live in one or the other. I want to live in what is now, and honor what is now. I want to honor the few minutes it takes to brew a coffee the way I honor the few minutes it takes to exchange wedding vows, and honor the act of chopping red peppers for dinner the way I honor writing a birthday card to a close friend. It's mindfulness and it's gratefulness. It's so easy and so difficult...” Continue reading at the link in my bio - and thank you ❤️
    A perfect autumn evening, forever alive and bound in vintage leather. Wedding season is buzzing all around us and I’m so inspired by the hope, beauty, and promises it brings. (We are accepting three more weddings for 2018, and five for 2019. Email mitzi@mitzistarkweather.com to see our Wedding Guide!)
    The Power of Print: I see it every day - in gasps, in tears, in speechless sighs. And more importantly, you see it tomorrow and next year and twenty years from now. Portraits aren’t finished until you can hold them in you hands and get lost in them on your walls.
