How many of us women constantly get lost in the shuffle of our life? I know I do!! Have you ever sat back and thought- Who am I without all these other things? Without all the errands, and kids and tasks?

Like who AM I?

As women- We tend to place our identity in the roles we fill or the jobs that we do. We forget that we are not only a mom, who spends most of her days running her kids from activities to parties, and practices and every other thing that demands their attention. We forget that we are not just a wife, who tries to have dinner ready while also struggling with keeping the house clean, and the laundry washed, folded and put away.

Or maybe its more about your career – You are not just an employee, trying to meet deadlines or achieve the latest goals so you can get a raise. Or maybe you are the boss. You are constantly trying to improve performance and develop your team while showing grace and love. You aren’t just a friend, or a daughter etc.? How many of us have allowed whatever that role is-identify who we feel like we are?!

Let me introduce you to my client Mel – she is just like you and me. She falls into one, multiple, or all these roles! And somewhere along the way she forgot what self-care was, and she forgot who she was without all the other roles. She opened her eyes one morning and she wanted to remember what it felt like to be herself outside of all the roles, and tasks and people. She wanted to feel beautiful in her own skin. She wanted to feel confident and encouraged.

Hell- she wanted to feel as sexy as her husband says she is- without needing him to validate that.

Mel wanted to see herself through her own eyes. She wanted to feel empowered and capable of all the things.

So, Mel decided this session was a gift for herself!! She chose an expanded session that all took place inside the studio. We set up a full body massage in the studio to help her disconnect with the world and be present and relaxed. Then she got her hair and makeup done professionally in the studio to help her feel pampered and prepared.

Mel had multiple outfits and multiple setups- this allowed her to showcase her sassy and sexy side, her sweet and soft side, her comfortable and confident side, and all the other things that Mel has the power to exude.

When Mel left the session that day, she smiled bigger than she has in a long time! Her spirit and aura was glowing with pride and confidence. She knew who she was without having to rely on anyone or any other role to define her.

Not only did Mel gain so much from this session, but her husband of twenty plus years also got to benefit from this session. He got to have and keep gorgeous images of his wife, being confident, sexy, sassy and smiling. He got to see the spark of her reignited that he most likely hadn’t seen in a long time. And it wasn’t just captured in the images.

It reignited inside of her soul to take back out into the world and to spread to everyone around her.

What I do is art. This is not about a performance. This is about an experience. This is about helping you remember who you are. This is about helping you step outside of your day-to-day identity and step into your superpower, you are created to be feminine you are created to continue to create. You, as a woman hold the power to create life, in your words, in your smile, in your being! You are a work of art and it is just my job to help you not only see yourself the way others see you, but to also help you experience it.

The ultimate goal is to capture it so you can not only share it with whoever you choose, but also so you can remember what it felt like and carry it back out to everyone in the world around you.

Take a look at these images. Isn’t she gorgeous!!
