We see it everywhere: “You’re never going to be good enough”, “you’ll never be as pretty as her”, or “you’ll never accomplish as much as them”. We might not always hear it, but those sorts of ideas are everywhere we look. Billboards with ladies who look like we’ve always wanted to, people in our lives who seem like they have it all together, or those go-getters who’ve actually achieved all of their goals in record time. Or maybe you do really hear these things, and everyday is spent trying to convince yourself that what they’re saying isn’t really true. For almost all of us, self-esteem can be hard to grasp. That’s why it’s so important to be around people who build you up instead of tear you down, and why it’s even more important that you do the same for everyone around you.
Even when we really grasp a sense of our own beauty and value, we can lose sight of it pretty quickly. That’s why it’s so important to have tangible evidence of this truth, real proof of your own beauty that permeates inside and outside of you. A mirror could work, but some days we just want to remember another time where we really felt truly beautiful and confident. That’s where having nice photos of yourself can really shine. And that’s my mission: to give you an experience where you feel confident and beautiful, and where you can truly realize your own worth and value - and then give you proof that you’ve felt that way before. The photos from your session with me will be what you can look back to on hard days where your own worth and beauty is a bit hidden, at least in your mind.
Life can be such a hard thing to live at times, so it’s so important to have things you can remember the better times by. Maybe that’s all you need to remind yourself of the truth, of your own beauty and confidence, and that makes them worth their weight in gold. To have pictures that remind you of this is one blessing, but having people in your life that are always making sure you know that you’re wonderfully enough is a blessing that keeps on blessing. You’ve probably heard it: “Be the change that you want to see in the world”. It’s such an important ideal, but it can seem too big to grasp. Start small, by being that person that encourages and uplifts others, even when you don’t feel like it, and you’ll really be that change.
Think of those pictures of yourself that help you remember your confidence and beauty as your foundation, something to work from, and then spread it everywhere, to everyone you meet. Keep those pictures on your phone, or in your back pocket, so you can keep them with you wherever you go as a pick-me-up, but work from that to be the pick-me-up in someone else’s life, too. Trust me, living life this way is infectious. Soon enough, you’ll have everyone around you encouraging and lifting up each other, and you’ll be able to have a community full of people who want to help each other realize their own beauty, confidence, self-esteem, self-worth… you name it.
And it would have all started from a photo.

“Even though I was super nervous to take my senior photos because of insecurities and just being shy, I was so comfortable the whole time. I LOVED every minute taking my photos with Lisa and my pictures (even the quick iPhone ones) are just what I wanted my senior portraits to be. ”
