Shaveda | Sneak Peek: Senior Portraits

By now you should know that I get super excited when I book a Senior session. Why do you ask? Well I think it's because my high school years and especially my senior year are the most vivid and cherished memories of my youth. It could also be because I'm a high school teacher and I identify with this age group. With that being said, I also love it when a Senior feels comfortable around me even with a big ole camera in their face yet they are themselves from beginning to end. Miss Shaveda did just that. I think I overshot her since I had so much fun and couldnt stop myself and to top it off her and her mother allowed me to choose the venue. I was dying to try my rustic and grunge locations! I hope you enjoy the portraits as much as I enjoyed taking them. 

Erica | Ageless Beauty Portraits

One of my major avenues that has helped expand my photography business is  word of mouth. I really love it when I get referrals, especially family members of previous clients. This type of marketing has really helped establish and strengthen my business. It lets me know that the clients I have shot are really happy with my work.  And value it enough to recommend me to their loved ones.

Ms Erica is one of those family referrals. I had a great time shooting her as well as scouting out a location. She trusted my suggestions and took great direction when posing. She definitely wasn't afraid to try something new or get dirty, lol.

Thank you for allowing me to capture your essence!

I'm realizing that many times we make things more complicated in life then they really are. We avoid things or hold tight to others because of fear. Fear of making the wrong decision, fear of the unknown, or fear of trying something new. Life is hard as it is, so why not just go for it. If you really want something in life, then you have to be willing to work hard for it. Don't let fear get in the way of your dreams.

Our Deepest Fear 

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
