My aim through portrait photography is to show women how truly BEAUTIFUL they are. Whether your are in your twenties or sixties, any age or size you are created to thrive in your loveliness. But how can we define beauty? Mr. Webster says:
the quality present in a thing or person
that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind,
whether arisingfrom sensory manifestations
(as shape, color, sound, etc.),a meaningful design or pattern,
or something else (as apersonality in which high spiritual qualities are manifest).
Is it the senses alone that are delighted by such a wonder as Beauty?
I have to agree with the author of 'The Beauty of a Woman' when I think of
what truly defines the desire to posess Beauty and be our lovely, loving,
grace-filled best - this will certainly take a lifetime to achieve!
The Beauty Of A Woman
The beauty of a woman
isn't in the clothes she wears,
The figure that she carries,
or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman
must be seen from in her eyes;
Because that's the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman
isn't in a facial mole;
But true beauty in a woman,
is reflected by her soul.
It's the caring that she cares to give,
the passion that she shows;
And the beauty of a woman
with passing years only grows.
Authorship is variously attributed to the following authors:
Maya Angelou, Ralph Fenger, Audrey Hepburn & Sam Levenson
Here is an attempt at capturing a little sense of that beautiful feeling during a recent Pin-Up Party with my sisters. Looking at this photograph I recall how delighted I was to spend the afternoon photographing my lovely sisters, all in their 40s and 50s. What a thrill to laugh and take joy in one another - what a gift to feel beautiful with my wonderful sisters!! (I will post their photos soon!)
