There is something so special about photographing women.

Our culture is constantly bombarding us women with lies that we are not good enough. Not pretty enough. Not (blank) enough.

I make sure that every woman that steps in front of my camera knows that she is enough. She is beautiful. She is strong. She is enough, because she is fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14)

It is such a privilege to empower women and help them discover their beauty. In that hour that we are shooting, I want them to feel on top of the world.

And when they see their images, I want them to see more than their physical beauty. I want them to see themselves as joyful + loved and more beautiful inside than they ever realized.

Last night, I had the pleasure of photographing Lauren who is absolutely beautiful both inside and out.

These images speak of her strength, beauty, joy and kind heart.
