Celebrating Joana: A Tale of Renewal and Self-Love

In a world where the pace of life often leaves us breathless, there are moments that stand out as reminders of the importance of self-care and self-love. Joana's story is one such reminder—a beautiful narrative of how a simple giveaway turned into a transformative experience that touched our hearts and rekindled her spirit.

📸 The Giveaway: A Glimmer of Hope

Last year, we held a giveaway that sparked curiosity and excitement among our clients. As the names were drawn, Joana emerged as a runner-up winner. Little did she know that this unexpected twist of fate would lead to a journey of rediscovery and rejuvenation.

💫 A Boost for the Soul

As an older lady with a lifetime of experiences, Joana had reached a point in her life where a boost was needed—a reminder of her worth and the value of taking time just for herself. The giveaway came at the perfect moment, offering her an opportunity to pause, reflect, and invest in her well-being.

📷 The Day Just for Her

When Joana stepped into our studio, her warm smile masked a whirlwind of emotions—excitement, nervousness, and a touch of vulnerability. We set the stage for a day that was entirely hers. From the moment she sat in the makeup chair, surrounded by a team dedicated to making her feel cherished, it was evident that this experience would be more than just a photoshoot.

💖 A Celebration of Joana

As the session unfolded, Joana blossomed in front of the camera. Each click of the shutter captured her radiant spirit, showcasing the beauty that comes from within. It was more than photography—it was a celebration of her journey, her strength, and her individuality. From the twinkle in her eyes to the curve of her smile, the images told a story of resilience and grace.

🌟 Embracing Self-Love

Through this experience, Joana learned that self-love is not a luxury, but a necessity. It's about embracing the person you've become, acknowledging the chapters you've lived, and taking time to nurture your soul. Joana's story is a testament to the fact that it's never too late to invest in yourself, to be celebrated, and to shine.

📝 Joana's Journey Continues

Joana's story is a reminder that every person deserves to feel special, cherished, and celebrated. We are grateful to have been a part of her journey, and her radiant spirit continues to inspire us. As we reflect on her experience, we're reminded that our work is not just about capturing moments—it's about creating spaces where individuals can find joy, love, and the beauty that resides within them.

To Joana and all those who have embraced their journey of self-discovery, we raise our cameras in celebration. Here's to the remarkable power of self-love and the moments that shape us.

With gratitude,

Giveaway Series, post 3, Miss M

In this 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.

Allow me to introduce Miss M, a client who preferred to keep her identity anonymous to empower others while maintaining her privacy. As her photographer, I respect and support her decision wholeheartedly. The image above and her testimonial will be the only time you see her face as she requested a more anonymous bodyscape.

During her session, Miss M was amazing and killed it! We captured a range of emotions and styles that were absolutely fabulous, but she decided to keep those images to herself. However, she wanted to be featured in a way that gave her bragging rights and the chance for one of her images to be entered for a cover or award. We selected several images that only show her body and not her face for this purpose.

Miss M booked her session after winning the runner-up prize in my last Giveaway. She needed a pick-me-up after going through a tough time, getting married, and finding out some major things were hidden from her and her children. She was struggling with her body image, having had kids and aging, and just needed to see herself in a different light.

Here's what Miss M had to say about her experience:

This is an example of anonymous shots…

Givaway Series, post 2, Sharnai

In this 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 Sharnai, a young woman just really starting to dive into who she is, and not who the world wants her to be. She is learning to embrace herself on this journey of life. She has struggled with her body image as well, struggling with loving her body as it is instead of how she wants it to be.

She came in as a Giveaway Runner up and got a few extras for her session. As we were in hair and makeup we got to chatting and realized she works with another client of mine. We instantly hit it off and became fast friends. So much so that I start my moon meeting because of her asking for a safe place to learn and explore all things mystical. So, ladies know this I am telling you all this because I am striving to create that safe place for all to just be themselves, and be loved for just being not doing.

Her session was amazing, we had so much fun playing with lights, and her outfits. I loved tons of her images, and what’s even more important she loved her images. But don’t take my word for it…here’s what she had to say about it:

Here are just a few images from her session, she killed it for sure….
