I am not one to push shoots on people. (Okay...not totally honest because I do. Not push. Just explain that I believe every woman and man need to feel empowered in their own skin and these shoots do just that and it is extremely important) I do however believe that if you have even 0.01 ounce of question in yourself body wise or inner beauty wise, that you suck it up and take the plunge. Do it. Uncover your RAW , undisguised, frank beauty you carry. You will have no regrets.

“At some point in my life I was very thin. Ironically it was at that point that I found more flaws than you can imagine. I was sure that I was just not thin enough. Over the years I have been a size 5 all the way to a size 22 and everywhere in between. On August 24th 2018 I was somewhere between a size 16 and 18. On this day I felt free, beautiful, relaxed, excited the range of emotions swept over me. My size no longer mattered. I somehow knew that my beauty wasn't in the size of my clothes but in the depths of my soul. Christian was so captivating, she drew me in and helped me to just relax. We laughed and talked while she transformed me. I just let her use me as her canvas and she painted a beautiful story. the first thing I noticed as Amy entered the room was the feeling that this was all going to be worth it. It was. I hear women say "when I lose some weight, I will do it." Why wait? Society tells us we have to look a certain way to be beautiful or sexy. Society is wrong. I am perfectly imperfect. This is something that every woman should experience. Thank you Amy and Christian, I had a wonderful time.”
Thank you Ms. S. You are AMAZING!

I've always struggled with my body. When I was a young girl, I was overweight from age 9 or 10 and remember feeling "different" than the smaller girls.

What was your biggest fear before hiring me? Did it come true, and if not, what happened instead?
I was afraid that I wouldn't look good in the pictures. That did not happen at all. All the pictures came out better than I expected. I had a hard time choosing which ones to keep.
My comfort level with Amy ( please describe it a little!)
Amy made me feel so comfortable. She is cheering you on the whole time. After about 5 minutes with her coaching you are able to loosen up and just take gorgeous pics.
My hair and makeup experience with Christian:
Christian is so fantastic at what she does. I had never had make up professionally done and I could not have asked for a better first time experience. The way she was able to accent my natural features was amazing!
How I felt when I saw my images:
Honestly the first sneak peak that Amy sent to me, I didn't even realize it was me. I thought it was like a standard model she used for business cards. The next day I looked at the picture to send the coupon to a friend and thought the model is wearing the same outfit I wore. Then I was like wait that is me!
What, specifically, was your favorite part of your session, and why?
I liked getting my hair and make up done and spoiling myself for a little while. I also liked how Amy tells you how awesome you are doing while she is taking pics. Makes you feel good about yourself!
If you were to recommend us to your best friend, what would you say?
You have to go and do this! Even if you don't have a significant other to take the pics for take them for yourself!
