The Transitioning Stylist Stepping Into Light, Visibility, and Confidence

Lisa's journey with me began at a crossroads – closing one business chapter and stepping into her unique role in the world. With a rich background in fashion and styling, her life was marked by elegance and an exquisite sense of whimsy. Yet, beneath her accomplished exterior, there was a longing for a deeper connection with her evolving self.

Our meeting was more than serendipitous; it was a deep, heart-to-heart connection from the start. Wandering the streets of London, sharing stories, and finding that transformative top, Lisa's shift began. It wasn't just about changing clothes; it was about donning a new skin, embracing her journey through menopause with grace and self-acceptance.

Our session unfolded in a beautiful London home, each outfit change bringing a new facet of Lisa to light. From laughter to reflective moments, the day was a dance of moods and expressions. The camera captured not just her external beauty but the emerging joy and confidence from within.

The images from our day together were more than photographs; they were milestones in Lisa's journey. They marked her emergence from a menopausal cocoon into full, vibrant visibility. Her new website and array of offerings for women sprang from this renewed sense of self. Lisa reclaimed a part of her she thought lost and stepped back into her joy with a deeper presence, both in her life and in the eyes of others.

In Lisa’s words …

“I remember this day like it was yesterday. The light-filled moments of joy. The playfulness and the ease. The depth of conversation. The dancing. The movement. The truth I shared. This signifies the day I truly stepped out of my menopausal cocoon and chose fully embodied visibility.
I remember how great I felt in that dress. Such laughter too.
Oh. And the cake 😘 so delicious.”

The High-Powered Filmmaker Embraces the Artist Within

Kate, initially a high-powered filmmaker, had her life captured through my lens five years ago. Back then, her world was defined by striving and pushing in the demanding film industry, a narrative of success but perhaps not of personal fulfillment.

Feeling the call for change, Kate embraced a profound shift in her identity. She declared, "I am an artist!" and took a bold step by renting a studio in NE Portland. This marked the beginning of her journey from filmmaker to artist, a path less about striving and more about authentic self-expression.

Invited to capture Kate in her new creative space, I witnessed the nervous excitement of someone just stepping into their true calling. The studio session wasn't just a photoshoot; it was a celebration of her daring to redefine her life.

The impact of this session reverberated beyond the studio. A week later, Kate and her husband decided to sell their house and move to New Mexico, embarking on an unexpected yet fulfilling new chapter. When I visited her in their quaint new town, I saw a version of Kate happier and more content than ever before.

The Hidden Warrior: From Shadows to the Spotlight

Katariina, a former Marine with a history of battling through wars and personal health challenges, including breast cancer, approached me with a simple request for photographs. But beneath this request lay a deeper yearning – a desire to be seen, to share her gifts, and to step into a new level of self-expression.

Her journey was not just about capturing images; it was a call to emerge from the shadows, to embrace her multifaceted identity beyond her roles as a warrior, survivor, and mother. It was an invitation to step into her own light, leaving behind any remnants of hiding.

On the day of our shoot, Katariina stood in front of my lens, not just as a Marine, artist, or mother, but as her authentic self – radiant and stunning. The session transcended a typical photoshoot, becoming a conduit for her to showcase her true essence, strength, and beauty.

Katariina's reaction to the photographs was a testament to the transformative power of being truly seen. Her words, "WOW! They are magnificent. You are so extraordinary. Thank you for truly capturing my essence and my beauty," reflect the profound impact of our session together – a journey that honored her story and illuminated her radiant spirit.
