Insta-mazing!

This week I experienced failure. For the first time I wasn't able to make a client see how beautiful she was. She is in an intense personal development class & was tasked with having a breakthrough in 24 hours so she decided to book a boudoir session to help her see herself in the best light. The only issue with this was that in 24 hours she didn't have time to speak with my wardrobe stylist to get her in outfits that she felt comfortable in. Instead she went shopping with a friend that WAS comfortable in her body & that friend had her buy a one piece lingerie that accentuated all the parts of her body she wasn't happy with. As we started shooting, I was very happy with what we were capturing. When she put her glasses on to look, she couldn't see anything except, in her words, "old" & "fat." That is how I figured out that what she was wearing was not helping. I always ask what my clients favorite features are & what they aren't as excited about so I know what to accent & what to let fall into the shadows. I tried all of the most flattering lighting & posing tricks I know to slim her & make her look younger, but she couldn't see past her insecurities. It broke a bit of my heart to hear that she just couldn't see anything attractive in herself. I offered to set her up with my stylist so we could get outfits that would look & feel better on her & then we could redo the shoot. I know that we ALL have the capacity to love ourselves & I was willing to do whatever I could to help. I sent her a few of the photos that she deemed as "not the worst" & she went to class. The next morning I asked her how it went & she said that she had shown the class some of the photos & they told her how amazing she looked. She thanked me & @makeupinthe702 for our hard work and relayed that she hadn't had the breakthrough that she thought she would, but had one none the less. She declined a redo & said that she just had to work through some of her programmed negative thoughts. I truly hope with my whole heart that she can see beauty in herself along her journey & I hope she stays in touch along the way. I know now that I can't help everyone, but I will never stop trying.
I got the honor of shooting the last cover story for @lasvegaswoman magazine featuring the amazingly talented @virginiatoalepai And tomorrow the next issue will debut at the spring cover party!!! Who is going?? Emerald at Queensridge Tuesday Feb 5, 5:30-8:30!! @eaqweddings #togetherwerise
Pushing your boundaries and getting comfortable being uncomforabke are what push you into greatness. Mary was nervous because she had purchased my boudoir package on NPR and didn't know if she could feel sexy at her age. I reassured her that we are all sexy no matter what age, weight, height, color, etc we are. She had a styling call with @ayron.bloss to get her wearing outfits that fit her body type and personality, then she got her hair and makeup done by @makeupinthe702 and she already started to see how gorgeous she really is. As the nerves faded away (with the help of a little rosé) I started to show her the images we were capturing and at the end of the shoot here eyes filled with tears as she told me that she never thought she would be able to feel that way about herself again. We shared a long hug and I thanked her for trusting me enough to show her the truth. ♥️ Who else needs to be reminded??
Whew it's been a long week. I feel like I have just been rushing around from place to place to make ends meet and try to meet people that will love my energy and refer me to their friends and family. Monday I drove out to San Diego to setup my mobile headshot studio at Raymond James for 10 financial advisors on Tuesday. Drove back Wednesday morning, took my gear to the studio then turned around to drive across town to a networking event. Thursday I had a call with my marketing coach, ran around town to get supplies for my goody bags for my Friday clients and for ingredients to make chicken for 12 for a dinner event I was attending that I ended up being 29 min late for because the chicken took forever to get to temperature in the oven. Then yesterday was my boudoir event. One hour of hair and makeup, one hour of photography in a suite at the Cosmo. I reached out to over 100 people, had 7 people say they were in, and then only 3 paid and showed up. I put so much effort into getting the word out and showing the amazing value I was giving, but business is all about trial and error and accepting failure, learning from it and moving on. With the costs from the suite and the hair and makeup and the editing I am breaking even. Which is much better than losing money but definitely not as good as getting compensated for my time and effort. I know my hard work will pay off, I just have to keep pushing through the resistance and show the world how talented and tenacious I am. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me on my journey!!
How are you showing up for your life? If you are waiting to "feel like it" you will keep waiting. Don't let your life pass you by while you are waiting for the right moment. All you have is the present moment. Your choice is the only thing you have control over. Don't let the fear of failure or rejection stop you from taking risks. Greatness lies outside of your comfort zone. When you start getting comfortable with being uncomfortable you will realize your greatest potential!!
RIP my beautiful friend, @brittneycason. I am so sad that you didn’t get to spend your 38th year gracing us with your contagious laugh and energy. I have so much love and adoration in my heart for you and your tenacity in life. You were always dressed to the nines and had so much spunk. I am so glad we got to spend time together and that I got to take these and some other wonderful images of you. You will definitely be missed. I know how much you loved travel and will carry your spirit with me wherever I may roam. Love you B! ♥️♥️♥️

Whew I've been home for a few days and I miss this boat so much!! I wish we would have gotten time to get to know our host family there better, they were so sweet and so full of life adventures and stories. Everytime we planned on napping on the boat it turned into an 8-12 hour nap 😂 Our beds were so cozy and comfy there. Being on the Thames was a bit surreal as I had heard the name my whole life but didn't expect to be seeing it anytime soon. The whole trip was pretty much like that lol. I'm so happy I said yes to this adventure and grateful to have had @_erikapriscilla show me the ins and outs of London and Paris. Do you have any cool trips planned this year??
Self empowerment is seeking the solution rather than fixating on the problem. Say no to resolutions that get left behind a few weeks into the year and say hello to real change in the areas you want it most. This time of year we are bombarded with input from retailers wanting us to spend $$ on the problems. Take a step back from all of the noise and get real with yourself. Start taking some time to be in a place of tranquility and solitude daily so you can get in tune with who you are being vs. who you truly are as a whole. Reevaluate what you are making time for. Time is our most precious resource and the first step to reaching your highest potential is evaluating where you spend unnecessary time so you can stop saying you "don't have the time" for things that will elicit the greatest abundance in your world. What is one thing you spend too much time on that you should cut back on?? Binging Netflix? Pokemon GO? Endless swiping on dating apps? Scrolling through stories on social? Daydreaming?
