Shimmer, Sparkle, Shine Girl 1

Today I had a girl day with Michelle, and it went awesome. Fantastic Sams off of Washington did her hair, then she had her own photo shoot. I loved seeing her be herself and having fun with her hair. I love seeing girls let their natural selves shine. She was always willing to be adventitious at the park when trying new poses, and never once cut herself down for how she looked in a photo. That is really what I wanted to accomplish. I wanted girls to feel pretty about who they are! My photography went well with this project too. I got to work in natural light more, and practice what goes with the sun and what doesn't. I made the photos into a movie during the song Fireworks by Katy Perry since that teaches you to be your best self and let your self shine through. From this point I am going to make a copy of the video for her family, as well as the pictures, and put it into a frame. I can't wait to do this with more girls to build confidence.
Here is her getting her hair done;


These are my favorite pictures from today :)
