My goodness, so much goodness!
If you've been joyfully following my instagram storie
s (shout out to those of you for all your support),
you might have witnessed I was in Texas last week for about four days.
I savored my time in an area just outside Dallas, known as Plano.
I spent these days, my oh my, spreading my passion of a profession, reconnecting with friends of clients, meeting new ones, all the while documenting, telling stories of fabulous individuals at this very point, this very victory in their lives.

This smile. Doesn't it just make you smile?
I know it makes me smile and even giggle.
The joy. The love. The excitement. The energy. My, is the energy so vibrantly heightened.
The sweetness. The appreciation. The inspiration. She is it all.
The badassness. The go get it and just be you nature.
​It just keeps going.

This woman, was so bubbly, so happy, so vibrant, both externally and internally, so excited to be documenting, to be connecting.
One of my favorite moments was when she looked at me at said,
"I have to do something each day that scares me."
She then took off her jacket and took portraits with her bare arms showing (something she says she doesn't do).
Ah, was that so inspiring.
Each and every session is an inspiration in itself as the souls I document
​are so truly beautifully unique, living their own path, their own way.

This woman. This goddess. This soul sister.
From the first moment I spoke to dear Gabbe, it was one of those immediate friendships.
The kind where you know where the conversation is going and its endless because there is so much excitement and support!

While I was in Plano, Texas documenting so many life enhancing events for the ever inspiring @kimberlypittsuimpact, I had the honor of documenting 
one of her childhood friends and clients, yes, this lovely lady right here.
She was born to be in front of the camera as that smile, is always so bright, so refreshingly inspiring, so HAPPY!
My, did I love getting to document this beauty!

Another soul sister right here, my goodness.
We're pretty convinced we were separated at birth or were most definitely sisters in a past life.
Myaann is the ever so talented stylist behind, @mynstylebox and @mynimage!

If you heard our co
nversations, it sounded like we've been friends and business partners forever,
but reality is, we just met in person for the first time a few weeks ago.
We were giggly roomies for two nights while in Plano, Texas.
We shared, laughed, cried a little (from laughing too much), experienced and all around connected.
​
It was such an empowering experience being so rooted in ourselves, our marriages, our lives and our badass selves that conversations expanded quickly and deeply. And to top it off, I had the honor of documenting her adorable self alongside her assistant.
