I've been keeping journals since I was in the 3rd grade and I'm so glad to share some of my most intimate life moments with you here! Here, you'll find inspirational and encouraging stories of me and other broken people like me. We are all jars of clay who have been afflicted in every way, but not crushed...struck down by not destroyed. Here, you do NOT have the right to remain silent, so as you read, grab your favorite snack and drink and leave a comment...share YOUR story. I can't wait to connect with you in this beautiful safe space.
I’m so incredibly blessed to meet beautiful people all the time, but the moment I saw Aurora all I could think was:
“oh. my. gosh. This woman is STUNNING. Look at those EYES!!!!”
When I moved to Anchorage, I was a little worried about finding a team of hair and makeup artists as good as the ones I had in Virginia. I wanted women who weren’t just fellow creatives, but women who had big hearts, incredible souls and women who I genuinely enjoyed being around. God came and gave me ALL MY LIFE when one of my clients introduced me to Aurora and Emily of Icebox Beauty! These two women are everything I could have ever dreamed of in an hair and makeup team. They are CRAZY talented, have the sweetest personalities, are SO much fun to be around and are stunning inside and out! I already have so much fun while shooting, but having Aurora and Emily around makes it SO much more fun!
Aurora and Emily both needed some portraits that captured their genuine spirits, confidence and fearless spirits, so we made that happen! We met up at Beluga Point and had the most amazing time! I absolutely LOVE this place! The water, the mountains and this beautiful golden sunlight??! This place is so magical!! Between the laughter and girl chat, there was never a dull moment.
How beautiful is she??!
This image right here!! It’s easily one of my new favorites!!
Aurora, I can’t thank you enough for gracing my lens and being such a joy to be around!! You are absolutely beautiful and I am SO grateful to have you and Emily on my team helping me to capture Alaska’s beauty!
I can’t wait to share Emily’s portraits later this week! I’ll give you a hint….she totally rocked it!!
Beautiful inside and out certainly describes Aurora.
I could easily say a lot more than “WOW!!!”, but that pretty much covers it.
I love this lovely young lady, although I haven’t seen her since she was a little girl.
Cousins are Forever!
