Celebrate the 'YOU' that is here now ~ Jossie (Glamour Session)

In terms of subjectivity, I was giving some thought to this in regards to beauty.

Is beauty subjective?... I’m mostly referring to a woman’s beauty here.

I guess in a way everyone may have different opinions on what beauty looks like. However, I truly believe everyone, and I mean everyone possesses some form of beauty.

As a photographer, my intention is to depict the best version of an individual. I like to believe I have the ability to find beauty in a woman’s appearance. But more importantly, I have the technique and skill set to convey a woman’s beauty in the form of a portrait.

The past few months I’ve been studying the art of beauty & glamour photography, and I’ve had the pleasure to photograph a few women who let me bring out their own natural beauty. Today, I want to share some images from Jossie’s glamour session. She was first pampered to a makeup/hair makeover with Vanessa Gutierrez, and later rocked the glamour session like a pro.

My absolute favorite part was watching her reaction when she first saw her images a week later. Like most of us, Jossie has her own insecurities about herself, but her reaction as she saw her images, was priceless. I realized in that moment right there, that it doesn’t matter what your insecurities are... every woman, and let me rephrase again....absolutely EVERY WOMAN deserves to look and feel beautiful.

So, treat yourself to a glamour session! Do it now because trust me, you are perfect the way you are. Don’t let life get in the way. Celebrate the you that is here now, not the one that needs to loose those extra pounds, the one waiting for a new haircut, or the one who feels age has stolen something from you. The truth is that the YOU now is the best version of you, and is the only version that deserves to look and feel gorgeous!

Take it from the girl who was adventurous enough to get on the other side of the camera, and out of her comfort zone... I’ll have to tell you about my glamour experience some other time for sure!
