Carpe Diem

Seize the day....  Live, love, do, enjoy, rejoice and praise. You always hear everyone talking about live for the moment, while that sounds bold and exciting lets be real not all of us are rock climbing or sky diving but it could be just have a cup of coffee with a friend instead of making sure your laundry is put away, going to the playground with the little ones instead of scrubbing the toilets, make a casserole while the kids are in school so you can talk them on a walk after school instead of cooking.

Recently I had a big distraction, I kept putting off visiting someone until I had a small professional mishap taken care of.  Timeline: Last Monday I really finished up that problem ,Wednesday I had another meeting sorting out a few more issues. Wednesday night I messaged my client/ friend who had not been well, asked her for her address. There was no reply. See, I have all these amazing Irises blooming at my home and wanted to cut a big bunch of them and bring them to her, visit and talk with her see how she was doing. Thursday evening I received word from our mutual friend she had passed........ Live and Love those that matter everyday, tell people what they mean to you before you have to write a blog about it and HOPE they knew how thankful you are to have met them or known them.

 Dawn made me feel so thankful to have picked up my camera, she trusted me to capture images of her in her most real natural self. We had lots of great fun during her shoot, she wanted me to teach her how to make her hair do "that" again, and I completely planned on showing her how simple it was. She told me she felt more comfortable about herself then she had in a long time. Just being a small part of her journey, for that I am grateful. Dawn and I talked about doing a project to show case breast cancer survivors and their journeys.


 I have told my friends many times I don't want anything to happen and them wonder how much they meant to me in my life, unfortunately this time I did achieve that this time. I will have this regret, I believe she knew I was thankful for her inspiration how much she trusted me.


I don't have any deep thought or inspirational quotes just wanted to share my thoughts and emotions...
(sorry if there are any typos probably not going to do the best job proof reading myself)

When I say posing and lighting matter this is what I mean!

 This is me.... this is my body, unedited and imperfect. I am just like the rest of you out there. I have a laundry list of things I could change, but I have chosen to love me and my body as it is... is it easy every day, no, but itis possible. I have decided I am beautiful with flaws. I have utilized my skills to benefit my mind to see the beauty in me and my body. With proper posing and lighting I focus on what we love so we see what you don't like less. This works with our lives, our mindset and how we see our body.  When I tell you posing, and lighting make so much of a difference I want to you to see exactly what I mean! It does take a lot to be vulnerable with you guys and show my flaws, but I NEED you to know I am just like you perfectly imperfect. If you have ever considered a boudoir shoot but were uncomfortable with certain areas of your body rest assure, I have the training and experience to guarantee you have a successful boudoir experience
