"Let go of who you think you're supposed to be; embrace who you are." - Brene Brown⠀
⠀
⠀
Stop struggling to be anybody but you. ⠀
⠀
⠀
Live with yourself for the next two weeks and let that inner voice shine! ⠀
⠀
⠀
Honestly, I feel like some people might find this very difficult because they either aren't sure who they are, or don't want to face who they are, or have shame about who they are. Let go of the shame and fear. There is someone beautiful on the other side.⠀

What is true beauty? ⠀
"I think true beauty is defined by inner happiness and the possession of compassion and selflessness. The capability to provide a loving atmosphere for yourself and others."⠀

Ella's definition of True Beauty: ⠀
"I think that beauty is both inside and out. If you feel that you are beautiful and know that you have a beautiful soul then it will shine on the outside no matter what you look like. Beauty lies in personality and heart. If you feel good about yourself then you will carry yourself better and show the world that you are beautiful."⠀

I speculate that some people don't know which images to hang. I often group my images in clusters or displays so that similar images compliment one another. ⠀
⠀
But don't worry. You don't have to make that decision on your own. I can help you find the best images and hang them in the most attractive way.

Not everyone has a great relationship with either/both parents. And every relationship goes through ups and downs. If you are at a moment of conflict with your parent, consider inviting someone else to your session who will make you laugh. Because you want your senior session to reflect your very best you! Bring the people who will make you feel comfortable. If you feel uncomfortable because of who is around, it will show on camera. It's a decision only you can make. ⠀

You can never go wrong with a hat, but having a graphic tee and dress pants is even better.⠀
