Miss L - Fabulously 40 + All For Herself
This smile belongs to a woman who just exudes joy…
When L walked into my studio… my first thought was “Holy moly, she’s gorgeous!” Then she smiled and I don’t think we stopped giggling together for the next 3 hours.
Yes, she was nervous. She looked at me like I was a crazy person when I asked if we could leave her hair as is. But I knew that I wanted to showcase those cheekbones and perfect teeth without distraction. We aren’t all blessed with faces that just need a simple frame.
She had mentioned during our initial consult that she had done a little modeling back in the mid-nineties. I think a lot of us took those modeling classes. I did, but I topped out at 5’5 and there went the dream of walking a runway like Cindy Crawford. 🤣
But L, she’s tall, she’s got spectacular muscles that are lean and feminine, and those cheekbones… well I already mentioned those. She really could have modeled, and I was DYING to get her out of the makeup chair and in front of my lens. I just knew the light would wrap around her with so much love.
She brought beautiful wardrobe that she had splurged on, but I think some of my favorites were the ones in the white sheets and the ones in the plain black bodysuit from my studio wardrobe for the same reason I wanted to keep her hair simple. I didn’t want to distract from her beauty.
Most of the photos she released to me aren’t smiling, which is hysterical because my belly was aching from all the laughing we did. It’s not unusual for my clients to be sore the next day as I guide them through the acrobatic poses, but I’m pretty used to it. But we managed to hold it together long enough to get these amazing photos.
L, thank you for letting me share these photos.
