The Photo Session....

magic created by Denise

truth be told, i hate having my picture taken.
i squirm on the inside.....and when i agreed to do a photo session, the squirms were totally activated. i started out not even looking at the camera, actually, walking away from it.
but she was patient,
and she was sensitive to my shyness...
and she intuitively knew what would work
best for me to feel at ease,
snuggled down right next to what i relate to most.
and within a matter of minutes,
she had me rolling around on the ground, all while
being up close and personal with the lens.
she knew what setting, what position gelled with who i am.
she knew i would feel most at home rolling around
on the ground, knee deep in nature...
(smart cookie, that Denise!)

she made me feel pretty, and hey,
its not that i feel like i am a big dog, but i certainly
dont do a kick-line when i look in the mirror these days.

i didnt feel self conscious about this or that, because she was wise enough to
have me engaged with what made my soul happy and that melted all that other stuff away.

this photo session was the first time,
ever, that i feel at ease and comfortable.
and its because of the woman behind the camera.

i love and respect the way Denise works ~
how gentle her heart is, how she intertwines
her brilliant creativity with her mystical intuition...

Denise and i are collaborating on a beauty of a project together,
involving photography, and music, and video, and the stories that happen
behind the scenes...Take a peek at Denise and my Godchild, HERE and read more
about the work we are doing....
I feel extra lucky to be able to work with her,
but a million times more lucky just to have her as a good and dear friend. . .
