I meet a lot of people (usually women) who have not had a photo taken in YEARS. Many of them have a hard time seeing what they see and it breaks my heart … because everyone is beautiful and I wish they could see it. I learned through the years that I should document my aging so I’m never shocked with what I see.

I feel the best way to “Embrace my Face” as I get older is to get a pro shot done with minimal to no makeup at least once a year … just to see how I’m progressing with no botox or fillers. I do plan on carrying on au naturale in this life and love what the universe gave me. If you do botox and fillers, awesome! That’s cool too.

This shot was taken 12 days before my 48th birthday. I really love it. This last year (as we know) has been so wild and crazy. I see all of that in my eyes…and then some. Special thanks to genius photographer and lighting master, Moses Sparks for capturing “ME”.

I honor my truth, my realness, my love of self.

Allow me to help you EMBRACE YOUR FACE.
