When a photographer calls you for photos!!

So this is something that means so much to me, and I am always humbled when a PHOTOGRAPHER comes to you for their images!! Yes! When Cynthia and I met for the first time it was the day of her session. We laughed and I cracked corny jokes (normal) and then we got to it... Creating some amazing images to show case who she is as an artist. Who you will meet when you come to her studio.... a friendly, fun, confident photographer! Cynthia and I became fast friends and look forward to many coffees and chats!! I enjoy headshots so much and a lot of thought goes into them. I don't want you to look like you lined up for a year book photo, but I want to show your personality to prospective clients or employers! Out takes below! because not every images is perfect!! but laughing and having fun is all part of the process, be warned (lol) sessions always take longer because I end up being a goof ball and make to many jokes!!

Who wants a session for hundreds less!?

I choose to LOVE radically

I knew this day would come, a day that in our current political environment I would be faced with a decision as a conservative Christian woman should be a "struggle" for me. I should stand up for my faith and I should turn away clients that are LGBT... as a "good Christian" I should be a warrior for my faith!! Help guide them away from their sinful lifestyle. Take advantage of the opportunity to stop this "sin" in its track!!! I should furiously defend the teachings!!! YES here is MY chance to be a martyr!!!Here is MY chance to prove my faith!!!  So I did just that, I took this opportunity I was faced with and made a choice! I choose to love and to love radically, I was driving into my studio and ask myself accountability questions as I was questioning myself (don't read into this that I felt wrong about this, I felt at peace but I KNEW others will judge me) and I always ask myself accountability questions.  I turned on the radio to FLN to  the spea...

2017 Holiday Hotties~ What he really wants is for you to want him!

 Does he REALLY need another neck tie..... Isn't is so very true though... does he need another baseball cap, watch, or a hammer. If you and your husband are anything like mine and myself, you have no idea what to get him for gifts... You know what men really like... yep, you do. Our husbands and partners really do love us they chose us, and they want you to want them. Show him you want him, show him the sexy side of you... it is still in there! Children, work, laundry.... it sucks the life out of us, the last thing you feel and the end of the day is like a Hottie, well show yourself it is still in there and show him! Because I swear you won't leave disappointed! I make darn sure of that! So this holiday, instead of giving him a gift card to home depot or a neck tie... give him you. You won't regret it. The gift that keeps on giving... 

Dear Sucky moms,

Dear Fellow mothers, You are doing fine! I wanted to write a note to every mom whether you are working, stay at home or an empty nest mom... You are fine! The dishes aren't done, the laundry isn't caught up, the floors need to be swept, so what! NO really SO WHAT!!! It is hard to keep up with it all, it is... and it is ok to just NOT for a day. Whether you are a full time business woman, a business owner it is impossible to do everything perfect everyday, and THAT is ok!!! I used to try to keep a cleaning schedule, it was sooooo routine my one friend used to joke I couldn't go any where on Monday because she knew it was "clean sheets Monday" yes every Monday every week I would wash all the sheets in the house.  I have taken my life back and actually now have a life by just shutting down the social media some days and sometimes by just checking out and going into the woods. I have even recently (gasp) went shopping for some clothes!!! FOR MYSELF and didn't ...

Personal acceptance in a society ruled by social media

Becoming a famous model or even a successful model isn’t about the fame, it isn’t about money…  What is our fixation on “LIKES, Instagram followers? What does it really mean? Why do we value it? What does it represent?  It is all about validation, that we are worthy of being loved and we are worth something? You need to understand we are worthy because we exist… we are created and are beautiful and no amount of like, shoots or congrats will fill that void inside you. Only you can decide you are good enough and that you are accepting of yourself. Taking steps to find self-acceptance is a personal journey and no one person can tell you these are the steps and you will be healed. It takes time and years and being ok with making mistakes, being ok with THIS is a journey This is why we do this. All things in life are placed in front of us so we can grow from them! Be thankful for the losses and humble in the wins and you will be a success at being a good person and that my...

I don't like when people say "Beauty redefined" I don't like when I hear "Her own kind of beautiful" I want you to see the beauty in everyone, see them for how they are and that everyone whether they are a woman 25 years old, a size 2, disabled, 60 years old... appreciate the beauty of all, and love everyone. I want to show you some amazing images I did with an awesomely fun lady! I am in love with this session and MORE in love with the idea that she is sharing them! I love her confidence and self love. Don't wait to appreciate yourself, Not because "beauty fades" that is bull! Beauty lasts, beauty endures... Don't wait to appreciate your self because you are wasting years doubting yourself when you should be loving yourself! Be confident, Be inspired, be loving and take challenges and fail, get up and take on more risks... LIVE! Be bold! And Most importantly do it because you love and accept YOU! Do it for YOU, because you...
