Your Life. Your Story. Your Portrait.
This is a shout out to the Mom who has been looking for the ultimate graduation gift for her Daughter. The Grad Girl Photoshoot is a fun photoshoot with a focus on bringing out the confidence in young women before they head off to College, University, or into the real world.
Meditation isn’t for everyone, but quiet breakfast meditation might be just the idea to change up your morning routine. It won’t require you to close your eyes or breathe deeply. Instead, you’ll become more mindful and present; something we all could use a little more of.
Based in Milton, Ontario and serving the Greater Toronto Area (physically) and the world (digitally), a part of my work is women’s life and self-esteem coaching. This is an integral part of the portrait photoshoot session and is something not a lot of women get from other photographers. Talking to women about their lives and helping them organize their thoughts and feelings has always been an important aspect of every engagement; providing women with both an empathetic ear to listen with and a voice that will tell you the truth.
It’s so easy for life to get overwhelming. Eventually we’re all living on autopilot mode. So, when was the last time you felt good about yourself? When did you take a day to relax and enjoy life? A few ways to make you feel good about yourself are vacations, material things, helping others, and experiences.
We easily dismiss the things we don’t understand. That’s one of the reasons why I think people are mean. Just think about a time you weren’t able to grasp something. You may have even made the effort to understand it, but you ended up disliking it from the onset. If we just see the world with empathetic eyes we can help avoid being mean.
If you’ve always wished you could look as good as the women in magazines then I can give you that in just 45 minutes. Do you think it’s possible?
At a young age I was told to “give because you want to” and later in life, especially in business, I was told to “give to receive”. That has caused a bit of confusion in the way I operate and perhaps you have the same concern in your own day-to-day life. Do you find you’re just giving in the hopes of receiving or because you want to make people happy?
When someone tells you they understand your pain or struggle they may mean it, but they never actually will. The reason is that you are unique and how a particular situation affects you will be different from the way it affects someone else. Although their intentions may be good, what you need to understand is that they’ll never be able to feel exactly how you do.
