What should people coming into a shoot like this know?
Bring things that have meaning to you and tell your story. Trust the photographer and be willing to be goofy. I really enjoyed working with a different make-up artist and seeing their vision for my face. Knowing that there were so many props and costume back-up ideas available on site was great even though I brought a lot of my own looks. Having a day to just play and focus on my own creativity was a nice breather from life stress.
The three most important things in my life are my kids, having space to be creative, meaningful connection to others. It lights me up to learn new things, dance and go on travel adventures. People don't know that I love studying foreign language and tend to hoard cookbooks.
What motivated you to come in for a session?
I had some professional and personal challenges this past year that required me to rebrand and take a new direction. I wanted to be able to have photos that recognized that and allowed me to feel more confident in taking the steps I need to move forward.
