I did my first session today with Krista

I was extremely nervous today when I woke up and realized where I was going and what I was doing. That's saying something because I don't generally get nervous about anything and I am extremely comfortable with myself. But am I comfortable enough to put on some pieces that show less than more and be photographed and be excited about those pictures enough to give my fiance this as a gift on our wedding day? What if my stretch marks showed or those thick thighs I haven't gotten rid of since I gave birth to my son or that dreadful momma pouch? I started to second guess the decision I made. I would have rather lost some weight, toned up some areas, blah blah blah - but work and life got in the way and I'm out of time. I wanted to get this done for my fiance before our wedding day.

I didn't tell Krista this because I didn't feel like giving meaning to my feelings in the way of talking about and having someone try to smooth my self-esteem over. Plus who wants to admit these things? Also, I didn't want Krista to know the things I don't like about myself because I wanted her genuine artistic abilities to come out without the influence of my negativity of my own body.

The minute I sat down in the hair and makeup chair, all of that went away. Then they put that mirror in front of me and told me to look at myself and I was shocked. I looked sexy - I don't think I've ever actually felt that way about myself. At least not in some years. At one point during my session, I can only describe it as Krista made me feel like a piece of art.

If you're waiting on doing one of these sessions because there are aspects of yourself you aren't happy with then don't wait. Krista will help you become reacquainted with yourself again and find your beauty again. If you're worried about how to pose - don't. Krista will literally lay down next to you and show you what to do and then walk you through it. Krista has a way of making you feel completely comfortable in doing this. So, don't wait. Do this for yourself and not anyone else. Make the session about you and how you want to see yourself. And if you have someone who also wants to look at the pictures, great. But it's not about them. It's about you.

So thank you Krista. For a wonderful experience. For making it so that I'm already thinking about what to do for our next session and I'm so excited to see how the pictures came out. You're an artist and completely talented in what you do.

(PS: Some clients are down to share comments on their session, but not their images and that’s a-ok in our book. You get to decide if you want your images shared or not.)
