When a girl since you’ve known since 1st grade reaches out to you for a shoot for themselves, of course, you say YES!

Yup – Lesley and I met each other in elementary school but went to different schools for Middle + High School.  Thank you to Facebook, we reconnected yand Lesley reached out asking to create something for herself.  When I saw her message, I said, YES!!  We spent a few months planning and Lesley sent me inspiration + storyboarded her session.  On the day of, like all clients, she was nervous when we first started but with the help of her sister Sarah, we quickly warmed up and Lesley ROCKED it!

We created something so empowering, uplifting, fearless, and full of self-love.  Lesley, basically became the benchmark of gorgeous – but I’m not just saying that because she looks gorgeous in these photos, her personality and heart play a huge role too.  She’s kind, sweet, and a go-getter.  As I write this, she just moved from the Bay Area to NYC, where she’s enjoying her new home!  Thank you so much for having me create this for you, this was an extra special experience!

To my fellow females finding their inner voice and strength, I highly encourage you to capture who you are at any milestone.  You are young, beautiful, powerful, and gorgeous.

Hello 32.
