DEAR WOMEN, LET’S TAKE UP MORE SPACE.

Apr 11

Society has done a really good job teaching women to shrink, to be quieter, smaller, and more accommodating for far too long.

But when we get you in the studio and in front of my camera, I ask you to take steps to unlearn that.

You’ll often hear me say things like:

“Take a deep breath. Take up space. Stand tall with confidence.”

Because you know what? Each one of us is fully worthy of being captured in our full, unapologetic beauty.

When you work with me, I guide you to pose in ways that feel powerful, to own your curves, your expressions, your lines, to appreciate everything that makes you YOU.

Everyone is worthy of being seen, and I mean not in the way social media is telling us to be, but rather, in the way that feels the most like yourself, and as a result, the most elevated and most powerful form of you.

So, let go of those stories we tell about ourselves, that we’re “not photogenic”, or that we “need to lose 10 pounds”. We can always, ALWAYS change our narrative at any time. Having the experience of an empowering photo shoot is one of the best ways to begin a new narrative and pull out the power that resides inside you. And then, it transforms the way we walk through life.
