The World English Dictionary defines beauty as:
beauty (ˈbjuːtɪ) |
|
— n , pl -ties |
|
1. |
the combination of all the qualities of a person or thing that delight the senses and please the mind |
2. |
a very attractive and well-formed girl or woman |
Interesting. Let’s look at this for a moment. The first two words are “the combination”. That means a lot of things put together. Next it says “of all the qualities”. What does ALL mean…..ALL means ALL! This is a very powerful statement! Wouldn’t you agree? Beauty is more than just looks apparently. It’s ALL the qualities. What sort of qualities do you have? When you look in the mirror at your “looks”, do you see all of your qualities? Do you see the different hats you wear? Are you a wife, a mother, a sister, a best friend? Are you only looking at your physical attributes or are you looking deeper than that?
We spend so much time limiting ourselves to what others say the standard of beauty should be. How many fashion magazines do we subscribe to? I think it’s time to finally take a stand and learn to be confident and beautiful without worrying about society’s standards.
I want to be the first to admit that there is NOTHING wrong with wanting to look beautiful. And, there is everything right with wanting to feel your best. I believe that you were designed by the Creator of all things to be extraordinary and have an inner and outer beauty according to His definition. When we get a new hair style or have our makeup done, there’s this sense of empowerment we feel. Like…wow..”look at me, I can conquer the world”. Well you can! You just need that reassurance that it was there before you looked like this!
I want to take you on a journey. A journey to a place where you can look, feel, and be beautiful not matter what shape or stage of life you are in. I want you to throw away the preconceived ideas of what society says is beautiful and trust me to capitalize on your qualities to show you just how amazing you are. I want to tell your story.
Here is a story: A story of a young woman. A woman who is a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend. Her family loves her and supports her in every endeavor she encounters. Her husband adores her for her confidence and ability to conquer great trials. She has walked thru the muck and mire of some personal trials that have caused her to lose sight of her greatness. She is a fighter, a prayer warrior, a woman with a heart so big that her loved ones turn to her when they are in need of a shoulder to lean on. Yet, she needed to be shown that her attributes make her more beautiful than words can say. She needed an experience to remind her of just how gorgeous she really is. Here is her visual story.
No words can describe how important it is for me to help women truly understand how beautiful they really are. It is my mission and my passion to break the barriers of what we used to know as glamour photos and press thru the lies that society declares as beauty and encourage women to reDEFINE their beauty by WHO they. My new brand of Pinup and Glamour Photography will take this idea to a whole new level. I hope you will join me on this journey and follow the pages of some incredible women who have chosen to celebrate who they are.
Blessings to you ALL,
