beautiful lady

growing up my friends and i would get all dressed up and do home made "Glamor Shots". Glamor Shots was a place in the mall where you could go and they would do your makeup and hair and you had outfits to choose from, then they would photograph you and make you feel super pretty. i have always struggled with self esteem, but looking at my Glamor Shots photos, i always felt pretty. they always did a great job of telling you that you looked great and just really boosted my self esteem. so sometimes, my fiends and i would make our own homemade glamor shots. i enjoyed making someone else feel the way i felt at the real studio. i wish i had some photos easily accessible to show you. they are pretty funny now, but we sure enjoyed doing it.

one of my goals, when i do a photo shoot is to make the lady in the photos feel good about themselves. almost every shoot i do, the women are hesitant and say they don't care for photos of themselves. i hate this for them, as i know exact ally how they feel, BUT when i take their photo, my goal is to change this! i want them to look at the photos and feel beautiful, if it is a family shoot, i want them to be able to see how important they are to their families.

i had a blast last weekend playing "glamor shots" shots again with my friend kara. she is beautiful! i hope she sees it in these pics.
