She came into the studio this past week as a model call.
"Make sure you work your magic on covering up my baby pouch."
"See what you can do about all of these stretch marks"
..."oh, and these scars too."
Let me tell you, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
SO MANY WOMEN are ashamed of their markings, of their "roadmaps"... I totally get it.
These marks are but stepping stones you've taken to becoming the AMAZING WOMAN you are today. Honey... You are gorgeous. You are a freaking bOmBsHeLL. In case no one has told you yet today, YOU ARE ENOUGH. You are perfect, just the way you are.

If there are things you want to see or not see in your photos, tell me. This is part of my questionnaire when you book your session.
"What are your 3 favorite parts of your body?
What are your partner's 3 favorite parts of your body?
Are there parts of your body that make you uncomfortable (scars from a procedure, or
a crooked toe that you don't particularly love, or something else?) please indicate here
so I can pose and light your body accordingly, to produce images you LOVE."
Here is an example. This client wanted to have her veins fixed in the closeup of her legs. She is gorgeous inside and out... But this was one of her "areas" that she wasn't particularly fond of. She wanted this image blown up, and did not want to stare at her veins every morning when she woke up. Check out the final copy!!!

I can "heal" your skin in case of an acne flare-up. I can smooth the skin for any uneven texture or coloring. Sunburn is a little harder (so use sunscreen!!) LOL, for real... I will work to get you images that you LOVE. But before I remove a single scar or stretchmark, I will always ask. I love my scars - they are there to remind me of the long road I've walked to get me where I am. Kinda cliché, but it's true.
This is a small insight into what we photographers can do. We empower. We enlighten. We light beautifully. And honestly, we become cheerleaders and BFFs...
I cannot wait to meet you, Talk soon!
XOXO,
Nichole
