In this new series within my blog, I will share individual client stories, that they have allowed me to share with you, in hopes of encouraging you to love yourself more right now not when. These are real women, with real stories.
Meet Larkin, she is an amazing woman on an amazing journey. She has been on a weight loss journey, after several surgeries. She has scars on her belly from them both, she has been working on learning to love her new body, scars and all. As with most of my clients, she was on a personal path to reclaiming her personal power back. These sessions are what I live for, why I do what I do, the transformation, the change I see in each client from start to finish.
We met first for her style session at the valley mall, safely of course. She started chatting about working as a teacher among other things such as a Disneyland employee too. Telling me about the other times she had been photographed, and she herself likes taking some amazing selfies, for example, the beauty side from above. We really hit it off and by the end of our shopping time we had a few outfits, ideas from what she had, we knew what direction her shoot was going to go.
I reached a few more times before her session just to clear things for hair and make-up, and then I did my research. She wanted a pin-up look, with some curls in her long locks. As the day got closer we both got more excited.
During her shoot, it was like hanging out with a friend doing hair and makeup, playing dress-up, and taking photos. We had so much fun. She was a natural, and that smile. We laughed, we talked, we got some amazing photos.
Here are just a few shots from her session. I will let her tell you how the rest of it went.
