A fellow photographer once had a woman client scheduled for a "glamour" session, complete with all the frills and sparkles.
When the client arrived at the photographer's studio, she said, "You know, I'm not really feeling the frilly-sparkly kind of beautiful today." "What kind of beautiful ARE you feeling?" the photographer asked. With a sly smirk on her lips, the client responded, "Poison Ivy." 

So they ventured into the photographer's spacious back yard near a stone wall with climbing English (not poison!) Ivy and did a session that was dark and organic to produce photos that best fit the woman's mood that day. It was unique to her. Only her. "Now, THAT'S me!" She was thrilled.

We women don't have a one-size-fits-all mood. Whether all glammed up and ready for a night on the town, or casual in your softest jeans, or feeling like "poison ivy," I encourage you to be free to express whatever mood you're feeling IN THAT MOMENT.  Our time together is all about showcasing your genuineness, whether smiley and perky or somber and serious -- your session is about capturing the True YOU. No fake smiles here.
