Everyone deserves to feel beautiful because everyone is beautiful. Everyone had a quality or qualities that are beautiful.  I like to focus on those. We all have flaws but no one needs to dwell on them, especially ourselves.  We often spend too much time worrying about our flaws that we forget about our strengths. 

January 16th I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing the gorgeous Christine as a surprise for her husband for Valentine's Day. I will only share with you a select few that are appropriate for viewers other than her husband. ;)

These 4 shots were all done with natural light inside my living room. I love shadows as it gives dimension and depth to images.  I wanted to make sure we got a nicely lit face with soft shadows. 

We hit it off pretty quick and had a great time.  We ended up shooting longer than we planned because we were having fun. We looked at the clock and went, "Whoops!" :)
