She walked in perfectly poised, with an air of stunning and grace surrounding her. This new body she had made for herself looked good on her, but she’s always had this inner grace and beauty that shines outward. I knew "K" from my mall studio days, as her sweet and doting husband worked as a manager at Peavey Mart right beside me. They had previously hired me to photograph her maternity and newborn sessions. So when Ian asked me if I could sell him a gift certificate for Krista, I was excited for her, mostly because I knew how hard she had been working at her Beach Body. And knowing what starwars die hards they both are, I knew we would be having a little bit of fun :) What a treat she was in for! Following are Krista's words about her session ~
Not going to lie, when I opened my gift certificate I thought "what the heck?? - what a dumb gift!!" But my darling husband explained he wanted to do something special for me so I could see myself as beautiful as he saw me, so I nervously booked the shoot. And for the next couple months I prepared- stuck to my nutrition plan, doubled up on workouts, and got to go shopping! And get my hair and nails done! All things I wouldn't normally do, but had to - For the Photo Shoot- and having a set date to look forward to was fun- I felt like a model. Fast forward to the day of- I was pretty anxious.... But as soon as I got all dolled up with hair and makeup I started to feel like a different person - like a real model- and I was like, you know what, I can do this. Marlene immediately set me at ease, she kept the compliments flowing and gives such clear direction that I I feel like it was more than just pictures, it was empowering and confidence boosting. We had to take a few giggle breaks and it was hard to stop smiling, it was like spending a couple hours hanging out with a positive and uplifting friend. I give the whole experience two thumbs up, 5 stars, 10/10
