You Don't Need To Lose Weight To Have a Great Photoshoot

Not feeling slim enough is one of the biggest worries I hear about as a photographer. While I think we should be confident and love ourselves simply the way we are, I totally understand these worries.

Maybe you tried to lose weight for some time and you’re reaching a point where you’re really frustrated and disempowered. A lot of our clients struggled with this issue, but what they found is when they finally did their photoshoot… they only regretted not doing it sooner.

I always explain what we can do to help, so you don’t need to be stressed about this issue and can end up looking your best, but still like you:

  1. Flattering Wardrobe

    We talk about your wardrobe in detail during Your Consultation before your photoshoot and we help you choose outfits that are visually slimming.


2. Posing & right angles

Angles are everything when it comes to photography. People are always so pleased when we show them the results!


3. The right lens

As a portrait photographer and a woman, I choose lenses that are flattering. We’ve all heard the saying “a camera adds 5 pounds”. Well, if you’re using the right one, it does not! On the contrary, certain lenses will make you look slimmer.


4. Editing & retouching

With over 20+ years of experience with editing and retouching, it’s very easy to apply subtle slimming.

What do you love about yourself?

I love that I am a driven individual that thrives in change. I excel at giving myself challenges and then setting plans to achieve them. I am a firm believer in change for the good, whether it’s in the small ways in which we may organize a desk or our closets, to the big things such as how do I parent my kids, how can I become a more giving member of my community, how can I change for the better. I also love my sense of humour and ability to bring levity to situations. Life and work can get heavy, it’s great to get through these times of heaviness with levity at the right times.

How do you define beauty at this point in your life? What makes you feel beautiful?

Beauty at this point in my life is having grey hair, fine lines and wrinkles, scars, etc. that show a life that is well lived.

How do you nurture your confidence?

I nurture my confidence with physical activity, I always feel better and stronger after a workout. I also challenge myself to do things that I would normally not do or even avoid. That way when I accomplish them, it is like score one for Karen!

How did your photos help you with your confidence?

Seeing myself in the photos helped me appreciate just how good I really do look at 50! I was proud of myself for pushing myself outside my comfort zone. I realized I actually have a pretty smile after all which is something I had been self conscious about for years.

Why are you proud of yourself at this point in your life?

At times I have to remind myself that I have many accomplishments to be proud of; I have always been financially stable and self dependent, I am a very successful Mom of two incredible kind and loving teenagers, I have overcome so many emotional and heartbreaking challenges....I am not ok with being a survivor, I am a THRIVER!
I am so proud of the relationships I have maintained for 3 plus decades and the way my sphere describes me as a friend; loyal, honest, empathetic, loving, selfless, supportive, creative, adventurous, and fun!

Before this photo shoot, when was the last time you did something special for yourself that you desired?

This photoshoot was truly the first thing I have ever done on my own for me that was fun and exciting and enjoyable. The whole experience was amazing. I want to do this again in my 50’s!

Karen

Karen is one of the participants of our 40 over 40 Experience. It has been wonderful photographing women over 40 and I can’t wait to share more shoots with you.

We have met incredible women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s & even 80s and we’re so excited for the art exhibition showcasing their beauty, wisdom and power.

We asked Karen questions about beauty and confidence over 40:

What does beauty mean to you?

To me beauty is more than just being blessed with a good gene pool. I think what is on the inside is just as important. To me truly beautiful people have an energy, it is like a light that radiates out from them. What makes me feel beautiful is when “everything comes together” - the right outfit, the right place , the right mood with the right people.

How do you nurture your confidence?

I nurture my confidence with physical activity, I always feel better and stronger after a workout. I also challenge myself to do things that I would normally not do or even avoid. That way when I accomplish them, it is like score one for Karen!

Before this photoshoot, when was the last time you did something for yourself?

OMG years ago, probably a good ten years or more.
