MARGARITAS AND FRIENDS! Oh, and JORGE..don't ask!

A GORGEOUS NEW FRIEND!

 

 

 

 

I absolutely love what I do!  I am IN LOVE with this exciting new chapter in my life and am loving the fact that I get to do what I love to do daily!  I think, though, that the thing that is MORE rewarding is times like these....moments I realize that I'm not making a business connection, I'm making a new friend!!

 

About two months ago I recieved an email from an old classmate of mine who had seen my work and had decided that NOW was the time to document the changes in her life, the ups and the downs and to remind herself that she was ALIVE and BEAUTIFUL (MUCH more on this REMARKABLE woman in the next blog).  She had said she wanted to set up a session with me and, "Oh, yeah, my girlfriend wants to do one too"!! 

 

I had never met Renea before our session.  She sounded absolutely amazing answering her questionnaire and I couldn't wait to meet her in person!  She expressed to me that she was vivacious, hilarious and apprensive and very, very nervous!  We planned a fun session for her and arranged for her to arrive with her friend and do a tandum shoot! 

 

The day of the shoot arrived and I finally met her...the FIRST thing I noticed about her was her eyes that seemed to dance with light!!  I KNEW, without a DOUBT, she'd be absolutely stunning to capture....I had NO IDEA how utterly breathtaking she would turn out to be!!

 

Our session began with a few nerves and the talent of my hairstylist, Hillary and makeup artist, Melissa.  The women took turns getting GORGEOUS and camera-ready!  We laughed, talked and planned the order of the outfits.  The girls LITERALLY  brought a hamper full of outfits so, PHEW, I had my work cut out for me!!  An hour later we were ready to begin!

 

Let me tell you what I love about Renea...she's REAL.  Every last AMAZING part of her...she's real.  She was energetic, FUNNY, coy and yet bold as hell!  She wasn't afraid to show off her rocking curves and let me tell you, she had FUN doing it!  Her eyes POPPED in every photo and her confidence began shining thru as the session progressed.  We laughed about Mexican waiters and talked about how she wanted to put herself out there for REAL WOMEN in the world...to show that CURVES ARE FREAKING GORGEOUS !!    I think we captured exactly what we intended to do!

 

 

 

As our shoot went on....I found myself really connecting with her.  She was not only gorgous on the outside but I really got to see bits and pieces of the amazing woman before me.  She was someone I could identify with and her laughter was contagious.  I realized then that I had made a friend.  Someone who I would be proud to know, proud to call my friend.  Someone that I am looking forward to photographing again...and again....and again (right, Renea?!!?  LOL)!!

 

The shoot ended and I gave Renea and her friend the BIGGEST hugs and made plans to send them a sneak peek later that night...the first of MANY nights of text messages begging for, "JUST ONE MORE"!!  They were absolutely amazed that they were looking at images of themselves.  I had done it!!  I HAD CAPTURED WHAT WE ALL SEE!!  Their beauty, their style, their SASS and their vulnerability.  This is what I hope to capture in every session I do....

 

 

SO, without further ado, I present Renea.  The GORGEOUS brunette with a ROCKING curvacious body, dancing eyes, breath taking smile and now someone I am proud to call my friend.  ENJOY!

 



 

LOVE YA, GIRL!!!!!!!!!!
