These past couple of weeks have been the craziest of times for me, professionally, and I only see it getting more busy and more exciting from here on! And I say “Bring it, I’m ready!”. I’ve been working hard and dreaming of this moment for a long time and I’m excited that it’s paying off. I still have a lot of work to do and a long journey in front of me but I feel ready for this, can you tell I’m excited?!

But in spite of all the lovely crazy things going on, today’s High Tea session comes from a reader, Miss S, who recently asked me,

What is it that you desire to do?

I have always known I was different. I was an outsider when I was younger (I had red frizzy hair and kids tended to think I was weird), my family didn’t have a lot money so I never had designer items or what was considered on trend, and my personality was very independent and stubborn that people would say I disrespected authority.

Throughout my childhood all I ever wanted to do was blend in and be accepted. I wanted to apart of the in-crowd and I would imitate the way people laughed, talked, dressed (if I could find similar items in my closet), and sometimes even their goals and dreams. All of these exercises really helped me in theatre, but got me no where in life.

Until the day I said, ‘screw it, I am who I am and I need to embrace it’. That was the day that I became myself and accepted that I am independent and stubborn, I like to ask questions and need to know the why and what behind something before believing it, and that I do have frizzy red hair and need to learn how to tame it! 😉

But my desire is to stand out and make a difference! A difference in my life and anyone I come in contact with. And that is the reason WHY I specialize in Boudoir photography! So that when I connect with women my goal is to to ignite passion and dreams in them, for them to feel like they were put on this earth to do something special, and also help them feel sexy, beautiful, and feminine again. That no matter what the media says, they ARE beautiful and gorgeous!

I want to continue on the path that I attitudinally started and be different, to stand out, and let people know that it’s okay not to blend in and go after something you’re passionate about!

So now I am asking you, what is it that you desire to do?!
