All the Audacity.

I’m not one for resolutions, but I decided that my word for the year is AUDACITY. The audacity. The nerve. The boldness. The daring. The business of boudoir requires audacity. The willingness to be bold and step in front of a camera with skin and nerves exposed. To capture the real essence of a woman. A photographer I love challenged me to create self-portraits. To set an intention to be in front of the camera and lead with clarity for my clients. I did it, with no makeup and all the audacious courage I could muster. It was a quick moment of capture, not the fully curated experience I typically offer. Just the wall, my camera, and me. The images are not perfect, blurry, out of focus, slightly weird composition. And yet, I love them. Real. Unencumbered. Audacious.
