Comments Please...

Okay- so if you're not normally the type to leave comments, then I need you to step outside the box for a sec and let me know if this is something that would appeal to you. I'm talking to the ladies out there, moms (especially); young women; older women- all of you.

When it comes to photography, I've heard many women say, both young and old that they wished they had 'good' pictures taken of themselves. There is wedding, family, baby, and other shoots that generally fill our albums; would you love to own an album that contained images that represented all the sides of you? The real you? Crazy, soft, nutty, sexy- (and yes we all are in our own ways), beautiful you?

Some would say it's self-indulgent or a waste of money...but I can tell you 100% that I have never come across a beautiful self portrait of a relative that I haven't cherished. I have one image of my grandmother when she was in her twenties...she was stunning. I wish I had more. I have about 5 of my mother- tiny little black & whites, again, wish I had more. SHE wishes she had more because she says she's almost forgetting what she once looked like, the person she still feels like inside. She's inspired me to think about offering this special photo shoot for women. For moms, young women, any women, really.
I'm envisioning a 2-3 hour location photo shoot, complete with a makeup artist, maybe a hairstylist, (all optional) lots of wardrobe changes...a day for you, and then of course a beautiful album of the most important person in your life. You.
Comments please.
