Sunday reminders.
We may seek acceptance in a thousand places but it is negated if we do not accept ourselves.

To accept we must come to know.

To know we must sit and engage with ourselves.

Both light and shadow.

Then we must love what we find passionately.

This kind of belonging is what we seek outside that can only be found on the inside.

This is radical honesty and radical honouring.

Have a beautiful day.
Know Accept Love.

Natalia's Branding session was both a celebration of a milestone birthday and her return to work following the lovely addition of a baby girl to her family.

I think in many ways it is a reflection of her growth and her becoming. It is also a declaration of her professional self image.

Capable, Competent, Confident & Caring.

Happy Belated Birthday Natalia.

The Ballet of Life

Working with Image Nation I have been taught more about carnival from Marie and Patrick band leads than I have learned my whole life.

Every conversation is a fountain of knowledge and experience.

They embody the literature of carnival in word, visuals and spirit.

Their offering for 2024.

Jouvay. The Ballet of Life.

Not to mention they are the greenest band i.e environmentally astute that you can find.

Thanks to Conrad for the encouragement and space to create.

Happpy Thursday.

Client love.

I love when clients send me the visuals of how they are using their imagery.

Gennike's statement headshots were done almost 2 years ago.

They have served as
Social Media profiles
Bio for her book
Panelist introductions.
Pod cast introductions.
Interpreters contingents.
Speaking engagements.
And soon a new adventure ..... emerging.

I love it and I am so here for it.

Happy Holiday

There's a song by John Mayers

So fathers, be good to your daughters. Daughters will love like you do. Girls become lovers who turn into mothers. So mothers, be good to your daughters too.

Adapting this for the mothers today.

Mothers be good to your daughters, Daughters will love and live like you do.

The mother daughter relationship is such a special one.

How you are nurtured , supported and loved feeds into how you move through life.

It's a feeling tone, beyond words that reminds you to hold your head high in this world.

Mum's the word today.

Be good to your daughters.❤️

Mother's Day Gift away things.
A few years ago I did a Mother's Day portrait gift away and while driving on my way to do a shoot with Lisa Faye Hand Dyed Silk Clothing a few weeks agoit popped into my heart to offer it as a gift in collaboration.

It was a gentle pleasant soul pop up😁.

So here we are.

Looking forward to meeting the winner of this gift and photographing them in their beautiful Lisa Faye.

I'm feeling quintessential Caribbean woman vibes.

Head on over to Lisa Faye Silks.
This quintessential Caribbean woman just might be you.

Some of my favourite client experiences are with clients who have decided to be more visible.

Mostly because I understand what it is to feel like you want to hide in the era of high visibility.
I hear my own words "that's so not me"

Something very beautiful happens when you see yourself and your work. It's like your insides just got turned outside.

Deeply vulnerable but as we grow necessary.

Kandy is an amazing artisan and it has been really lovely seeing her see her work in a new way.

Even if you may not shout it to the world. I think you get to say quietly to yourself.
" I am amazing"
" I am talented"
" I have gift to share with the world"

Blessings to you on your journey.

The update to I'm every woman.

Recently I've been playing with all the polarities of what it means to be a woman.

Some of which we have been conditioned into.

How to be both gentle and powerful all at once.

I am learning it requires us to be radically intentional but also deeply loving and accepting of ourselves.

We usually hinge acceptance to our flaws but today I invite you to hinge acceptance to all that is lovely , amazing and unique about you.

We live in a chaotically performative culture. It can be easy to shrink behind the scenes.

The truth is you don't have to dive into the melee.

You do get to live and practice the presence of yourself fully each day.

& then if you like you can share this with others and the world.

Totally optional.

But know that when you are lit up from inside, it's impossible to hide.

Girl you got some light to Shine........

Today I'm celebrating the guys.

It's always enjoyable photographing the gentlemen.

They easily fall into a natural way of presence.

The sessions usually start off with the words " Guide me on the posing and what to do" or some version of this.

And in the snap of a finger I'm like "You've totally got this" because they do.

I love that in a photograph we can balance the Yin and the Yang bringing to fore the unique expression of the gentleman.

Meanwhile
the song Let's here it for the boy is totally playing in my head.

All this to say. Let's celebrate the guys today.

Happppppy Sunday.
