I remember how nervous she was at the beginning of her photoshoot with me. And how over time, her worries slowly melted away. And then there was her reveal. When she saw the beautifiul images, it was like a weight visibly lifted from her shoulders. Read on to hear in Miss B.’s words, how her shoot went down and then, the breakthrough she had. Yay!
“When my friend told me she had booked a session and what the project was about, I knew I NEEDED to do it, too. The past few years have been hard on my self esteem and confidence. Somehow, I knew Shawnalee could remind me of my own beauty, power and light. I just wish I knew about that sooner!
The whole experience was incredible. Shawnalee and her hair and make up artist made sure that I looked my best and was comfortable throughout the entire process. She is a professional in every way and very good at knowing what will work to bring out the best in everyone, while staying within their comfort level.
Honestly, I was scared shitless. I thought that I had to be a certain shape and size to be beautiful. As a fitness professional, it is a long-standing idea and the basis of a lot of the programs out there. So when I saw my photos, I was blown away!! And it made me so emotional.
I was blown away that someone who had barely met me saw and captured ME. The next day I broke down in tears. I think because it made me understand how much I needed to do it FOR ME. The pandemic really kicked our asses. This experience feels like the beginning of kicking Covid’s ass back and putting that behind me. And maybe it’s not fair to blame solely the pandemic.
Life gets crazy and you stop doing things for yourself. This was the beginning of me reclaiming something that was mine that I forgot that I had and now I remember. It knocked me OUT.
Thinking about how my friend kept telling me that I had nothing to worry about. I didn’t believe it. I didn’t have the right ears to listen to it. That inner critical voice I have! Now I am ready to kick that critical voice in the ass. I used to be good at telling it to shut up. And then over time, the volume kept turning up. And after the shoot, the volume has been turned back down again."
The most unexpected benefit was that it reminded me of who I AM, that through the highs and lows of life I continue to be a beautiful human being with many talents and gifts. Because that is what I can see in those pictures.” Miss B.
