“For years, I’ve admired the work that Jennifer has created, but I never really considered having photos done of myself. I thought it would be seen as a selfish and vain thing to indulge in. But on the cusp of turning 50, I had a change of heart.
Growing up, like many of my peers, I struggled with my body image and self-esteem. And now, approaching the menopausal stage of life, those insecurities have begun slowly creeping back. I thought, what better way to embrace this changing body and time in life than a photoshoot. A photoshoot where I could look- and feel- glamorous (and maybe even a little sexy?).
As a stay-at-home mom and wife for the past 20 years, I don’t often get the opportunity to look glamorous. To have someone do my hair, makeup and style me. It felt so damn indulgent.
The day of the shoot, I was nervous. I could feel the weight of Mr. Anxiety on my chest. But from the moment I walked in, Jennifer and Katrina were w o n d e r f u l. Katrina is a master of her craft (also, do you know how relaxing it is to have someone do your makeup? Oh wow.) as is Jennifer. Jennifer helped put me at ease the entire shoot, which was a big task for her for as uncomfortable and self-conscious as I was in front of the camera.
Walking into the reveal session, I didn’t expect to be so blown away by Jennifer’s artistry. I truly couldn’t believe that was ME in all those photos.
I am so glad I pushed myself out of my comfort zone for this experience and would 100% do it again!” ~Karri
