Melissa's Experience
"I had a great time! Samantha was very professional and did everything she could to make sure I was comfortable. I had such an overwhelming feeling of confidence during my session, which is not something I expected given the nature of the photography! "
"Not really. I was more excited than anything else. My biggest fear was not knowing what to do in front of the camera, but [she] gave really good and simple direction. It was fun watching myself come out of my comfort zone and really get into it as the session went on."
"My biggest inspiration was myself. I have been on this crazy, awesome, exciting health and fitness journey over the past year. With eighty pounds and 7 dress sizes down, I have been on this whirlwind of self discovery and I wanted these photos to show my new found sense of confidence and beauty."
"My favorite part was getting all dolled up. I felt like a movie star sitting in the high director-style chair while an artist created the perfect hair and makeup for the shoot. I also really enjoyed getting to pick the music. There's always that one song that you just come alive to, and I listened to that during my more sexy shots."
"Absolutely astounded. I was in awe of the lighting, color, and angles that seemed so effortless by Samantha, but showed up so beautifully on film. I finally saw myself through everyone else's eyes and thought, "Wow, Melissa...you really did it. You are beautiful and radiate confidence. Where have you been all my life?""
"Just. Do. It. Don't wait until you lose those few extra pounds, or until you get your hair done next, or until you get your man's thoughts on it. Just do this for you. Once you see your photos, you will realize that you don't need to change anything. You are beautiful and perfect just the way you are. Only change for you, if you want to. Not for anyone else. This session was better than any hour of therapy I've ever had."
