Beauty Makeover photo shoot Portland

The woman I met a year ago & the woman I had the pleasure of give a Beauty photo shoot Portland experience last month might as well be 2 separate people.
But she is not!
She is the same woman BUT with a different energy about her! She has come so far in the past 12 months! She has completely turned her life around from the darkness of depression to finding a way to love herself again! She is now over 80lb lighter, she has sparkles in her eyes, she has a pep in her step & her laughter and presence just light up the room!
This session was her way to CELEBRATE the JOURNEY she is on and to have these gorgeous portraits of her to remind her, especially in the moments of self doubt, how SPECIAL & BEAUTIFUL she really is!
When I asked her what was her turning point, what has triggered her to turn her life around this is what she wrote:
“There was a long period of time of my life when my worthiness was determined by other people and I had a lot of sadness, used medication for depression and anxiety, and these things numbed me out but didn’t really make me feel better. I was walking around with this big hole inside of me, emptiness and kept thinking that it was gonna be filled up if I just felt loved enough, felt smart enough, felt desirable, but the problem was that nothing that other people said really made me feel whole, and It was because I did not believe in myself.
It wasn’t about them, It was about me!
It was around this time when someone close to me said some really terrible things to me and made me feel broken down. But At the same time I was surrounded by these amazing women who helped build me up and this is when I realized that My sense of worthiness is actually about me!
Do I like who I am. where I am or what I’m doing? If the answer to any of these question was NO then what was I going to do about it?
So throughout this journey of determining where I stand in life and what’s important to me I have decided that I am OK!
The most important things that I’ve learnt is that I am strong! Really, really strong!
Way stronger than I ever imagined! I’ve also came to the realization that I am valuable! ….. I ‘m valuable not because somebody said so or because somebody else makes me feel that way , but because I AM A GOOD KIND, LOVING PERSON WHO DESERVES LOVE AND TO BE LOVED!

Ms B is such a great example to show other ladies out there the power of self-love and self-acceptance! I know there are many women out there who could benefit by hearing her story. I know she has inspired me immensely and I feel tremendous appreciation for her allowing me to share her journey with you all. So please feel free to share this post with others!
