5 Years Later: Leenie

Leenie booked her session after celebrating 5 years of sobriety (fck yes.)

She said she wanted to see what everyone else sees when they look at her. Not the insecurities. Not the flaws she focuses on. Just herself.

And once she got here, everything changed.

Her why:

“I recently celebrated 5 years of sobriety. I wouldn’t say it changed fully but I want to see what everyone else does when they look at me.

Her biggest concern:

I am self conscious about how I look. I started feeling better the minute I got there honestly. Julie met me outside and was excited and bouncy and bubbly.

her experience:

I went in thinking that maybe I could feel pretty for a while. And I do, but Julie and Ky asked about certain things in my life and were genuinely wanting to get to know me. They made me feel so empowered and I am grateful for that. When Julie started taking photos, she walked me through every step and even showed me some of the pictures. I couldn’t believe it. But I finally saw myself without the imperfections.

To anyone reading:

Do it. Best decision ever. You won’t regret it.”

Something to hold onto:

Leenie chose the Sapphire Collection and took home an 11x14 wall art piece along with a 5x7 photo.

Why? Because for the first time in a long time, she saw herself differently.

Confident. Soft. Strong. Real. The kind of reminder you keep around to show yourself who you are on the days you forget.

And if you ask Leenie?

Best Decision Ever. ↓
