Soccer Moms Rule | Fort Worth Boudoir Studio

Posted on April 24, 2009

So I’m not sure if L is a true soccer mom, actually I don’t think she is, but she’s a mom with two girls and emailed me about my Soccer Mom sessions. I knew she was perfect when she said to me that she’s a no frills kind of girl.

I had her come to the studio without any makeup on and in normal clothing. I wanted to do a before and after shot so I could highlight how important it is to do your makeup properly. L’s makeup was done by our fabulous Holly, she’s the woman I suggest everyone use for their session make-up, but if you’re not able to use her at least try to have yours professionally done. It really makes a huge difference.

L started off a little nervous, most clients are, but we talked a lot about her family and her husband and her work and eventually I started to see some of those smiles I was waiting for.

I’ve heard people tell me that I ‘make’ people beautiful. No, that’s not right. I don’t make anything other than art. What I do is simply find the beauty that each woman has. Those expressions or looks or smiles. The ones we don’t even know we have, which make us unique and beautiful. I see myself as a filter, I focus on just a few things at a time, and ignore the rest of the noise.

I like being that filter. I like being able to show women how they really look. Their true beauty, without the rest of the noise.

L, thank you so much for coming in to do the session with me. I had a great time and loved all your ideas and thoughts. I can’t wait to get your gallery loaded for you.
