| Essence of Women |
| Embracing your essence when you are a woman can be very difficult at times. I am creating a series to capture the very thing that sets women apart but can also be hidden so easily behind masks. I aim to challenge the everyday woman to look deep inside her, nurture her unique spirit and also allow this spirit to be shown to others through a casual portrait. I am also offering a photography package aside from my personal series for anyone who desires to grow closer to their inner spirit. |

Laura-The essence of a woman is being true to herself. It seems difficult in this world for many women to do this honestly, with media ads, stereotypes, and a disconnected materialistic soceity; we forget who we are beneath all the masks. The masks are for defense of the sesitivity of our selves, and are necessary, to some degree, until true understanding and openness can be optained between all people; this is a rather daunting task. But we can each contribute to this task by taking off aspects of our masks and remembering that not only dothey hide us from others, but that they eventually prevent us from seeing ourselves when we look in the mirror of our self. The woman that I am: a creator, a writer, a healer, a friend, a passionate lover, a fearful child, a sarcastic cat, a dreamer, an animal talker, a small piece of the collective subconscious, an animistic believer, a collector of feathers, rocks and shells, a woman that will someday be a mother, a woman that someday will have sagging breasts and wrinkles, but who knows that these physical changes are part of being a woman and are an accumulation of the years of knowledge that have been gained.
