In today’s society, we’re constantly bombarded with images of what is considered beautiful – but by who’s standards? Unconventional beauty is far more interesting! Its clear that there isn’t a true definition of beauty – if there were, then it wouldn’t have changed throughout time. Just look through history! The standard of beauty is ever changing. Back in the days of the old master painters, the full-figured Rubenesque women we’re featured as beautiful. Today’s super-models would have been hounded by their mothers to eat, to round out their gaunt bodies! I can just hear the moms saying, “Honey, you’ll never find a husband if he thinks you’ll be die of starvation before the wedding day!”. LOL!
Back In the fifties, Marilyn Monroe with her hourglass figure was the epitome of sexy, and then the sixties roll around and curvy Marilyn is out of vogue and Twiggy is in! So therein lies the truth – beautiful and trendy are two completely different things! Depending on the era, the same woman is beautiful or not? Does that even make sense? Beauty is beauty no matter where or when!
From magazine covers to billboards that change by the decade, we’re told that we need to look a certain way in order to be happy and successful. Not only is this utterly bogus, it can be incredibly damaging to one’s self-esteem because it leads you to believe that you’re not good enough just the way you are. I don’t believe that for a moment! Every woman is beautiful in their own unique way, and I love helping them see that!
One thing that is always sexy, on trend, and beautiful, is self-confidence! A woman with self confidence can walk into a room an own it. Her appreciation of herself convinces others to appreciate her as well! You believe she’s beautiful because that’s what she projects!
So how do you get there? How do you find your own beauty and wear it with confidence? One of the quickest and most effective ways to combat this negative self-image is to have beautiful photographs made of you. You’re taking a moment to appreciate your own beauty. You are choosing to see the good in yourself, and this can be an incredibly powerful thing! I lovingly call it “Photogra-Therapy” and it can change the way you feel about yourself – you’ll fall in love with yourself!
It not easy to take a beautiful photograph of yourself. Cell phone cameras have the wrong type of lenses for portraits. Your face and body can become completely distorted in the images. Not knowing how to pose, can alter your body’s proportions and even add tens of pounds that aren’t there! As a professional photographer, I’m using the proper lenses combined with poses that flatter your body and enhance your favorite parts!
If you’re like most people, you probably also feel self-conscious or awkward in front of the camera. That’s where my greatest gift comes in! I have been gifted with an incredible ability to make people feel really comfortable in front of the camera! This allows you to relax and let your inner beauty shine through, resulting in the most beautiful images you’ve ever seen of yourself!
When you look at a beautiful photograph of yourself, you will be reminded of all the amazing things that make you special. You will see your unique features, your kind eyes, and your beautiful smile. You’ll see the strength and confidence that you possess, and you will start to love yourself more!
Are you are struggling with low self-esteem? Are you not living up to your potential? Do you lack positive self-talk? If so, I encourage you to treat yourself to an amazing Glamour Portrait session – or if you want to be a bit more daring, a Boudoir Photoshoot might be just the thing for you! Having beautiful photographs made is the most wonderful first step on your journey to falling in love with yourself!
