Geared mostly toward us moms who are worn out caring for those around us, with little time to recharge or pamper ourselves, this special session is designed to spoil you. My professional hairstylist and make-up artist helps bring out your best features and make you feel incredible. {Thankfully she uses waterproof mascara because most of us tear up when we realize we are so\u2026 beautiful.} Then comes the fun part, digitally capturing the moment\u2026 stylized to match your style and vision; we capture images that are tasteful enough to share with everyone while still stunning, fabulous and ah-maz-ing! The feedback I have gotten from my clients regarding these sessions makes me happy-cry. By the time they are viewing their images at their big reveal\u2026 they get it\u2026 they are beautiful! Mission accomplished.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-110\" title=\"201205004-Amanda-4\" src=\"http:\/\/staceetaft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/201205004-Amanda-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staceetaft.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/201205004-Amanda-4.png 900w, https:\/\/staceetaft.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/201205004-Amanda-4-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/staceetaft.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/201205004-Amanda-4-768x369.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These days we\u2019re constantly bombarded with what beauty is <em>supposed<\/em> to be; enough so that most of us simply give up with a sigh and assume \u201cbeauty\u201d is not attainable \u2013 for us. Well\u2026 I\u2019m here to tell you, you ARE beautiful\u2026 and it has very little to do with what you look like!<\/p>\n<p>Surprised to hear that coming from a professional photographer? Well, don\u2019t be. I firmly believe that everyone <em>is<\/em> beautiful. I believe because we are created in the image of our Creator we <em>are<\/em> beautiful. Whether accentuated by physical features, character traits, a sparkle from within or a unique personality\u2026 everyone has something beautiful about them. And it\u2019s my passion to stage and capture what makes you beautiful so you can appreciate your beauty.<\/p>\n<p>My goal by the end of every session is for my clients to walk away feeling cherished and valuable\u2026 all while having a ton of fun capturing images they will enjoy for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>I realize I get sort of crazy-passionate about this topic. But I want you to know \u2014 I mean really, <em>really<\/em> know \u2014 how meaningful you are! It matters so much to me that you believe you have worth and value.
