A friend linked me to this post yesterday and I loved this quote from it. “Never apologize for your own sense of beauty. Nobody can tell you what you should love. Do what you do brazenly and unapologetically. You cannot build your sense of aesthetics on a consensus.” It really hit home with me since…
I’m not really sure how to begin this post or even where it will end up. Some may think that it’s too much to put out there or a cry for attention, I hope it’s just a light at the end of the tunnel for someone else. After all, it’s opening up and reading about…

Writing about this is huge. My world has recently fallen apart in a different way but putting yourself out there for others to RELATE, because people do, takes a lot of courage.
You don’t know me, but I follow your blog. You’re the reason I bought my camera a couple of years ago and you encouraged me to start shooting.
You are extremely creative and talented and I’m so glad you have a group of friends, family and love that supports you. xoxo
Stacy I am proud of you. Takes a lot of courage to take that first step and ask for help. I am not going to tell you it will be easy because it won’t. ..but it will be worth it. You have the support of those who are close to you and of those who are not as close. I know you can overcome this . Don’t give up on yourself. I am not going to give up on you.
I’m SO proud of you! I’ve suffered from anxiety for years, but it took my social anxiety reappearing for me to finally start therapy again. I know how hard that first call is, and how easy it is to talk yourself out of things – which is why this is a BIG deal! Good for you! You’re such a strong and intelligent woman, I have no doubt you are on your way to real recovery. I’m always an email away! xx
It’s very hard to fight our demons, no matter what they are. I have had to face mine and it has been a long hard road. It gets better with a great support system. Kudos for your bravery ; )
So super duper proud of you for posting this!! You will be an inspiration for so many…stay strong! You have a huge support group.
It’s been a super busy end of the year with wrapping up my final shoots and wrapping up some super sexy gifts to go under the tree this Christmas. Needless to say, there are going to be some really, really happy guys out there this Christmas! Is yours one of them? No? Well, don’t worry…

Fantastic shots! Very well done indeed.
I was speaking with a friend and fellow photographer the other night when she asked me a question that I feel took the conversation from lighthearted with lots of laughs to serious and emotional on my part. Her question was a great one and completely legitimate, but one that made me stop and think and…

This post touches my heart! It spells out exactly how I feel. I’m still learning on how to love myself, and so I know first hand how hard it is to except a photo of myself- so your right, if shes not ready, shes simply-not-ready. And the part about not wanting the client that just wants the cheapest photographer… I couldn’t have said it better myself! This post is truly amazing, thank you for writing it out. I too have anxiety issues that spread like wildfire when in a group of unknown people… its sometimes hard to deal with. I am, however, taking Christa Meola’s boudoir workshop in 2 days, [online] to give me sort of a new perspective, as the clients I’ve been getting recently are the ones I’m not really interested in having, those looking for a “cheaper” photographer. I am cheaper as Ive recently found out, and thats completely my fault for not calculating the worth of my photography, but it can and WILL be changing in the new year!
again, thank you! Your truly amazing!

I first received her call a few months ago. It was from a number with a long distance area code so I immediately thought of a bill I might have forgotten to pay. Shortly after there was a “bleep” letting me know I had a voicemail. I curiously picked up my phone and listened. There…

Hey, it’s my birthday! Such a random number – 27. Not nearly as exciting as 25, or even 30 but I’m always learning and always willing to share. This is a list of 27 of the many things I have learned over the past 27 years. Enjoy and please send cake and Jack Daniels! 1….
