OK! You may recall that a couple of months ago I looked into the mirror and saw the dreaded, proverbial
BEFORE picture looking back at me. Thus, I embarked on learning to do my own hairstyle, eyebrows, went to the library and checked out books on reclaiming our outer beauty, etc. I am happy to say that the
BEFORE picture is gone and here are some of the
AFTER shots -
after I remembered that I was worth taking care of too;
after I remembered that it is OK to take time to shape your eyebrows;
after I remembered to ask my amazing hair stylist to teach me to do it myself; and
after I remembered that I can spend some time in front of a mirror without feeling guilty! So here is what happened after I remembered to enjoy who I am...
My wonderful husband gifted me some time with one extremely talented photographer and friend in the Utah area. My friend, Emily, and I had a blast together getting rid of the
before image and putting together a basic head shot for either my real estate business cards, a jacket to a possibly published book or a promo shot for getting commercial print or film jobs. So basically, since I have no idea exactly what I am going to be doing with these pictures, we just had FUN!
Here is that sneak peek that my friends have been requesting. More can be found on Emily's photography blog or her websites -

Great pictures, [Sis]. They look fantastic, and I'm glad you got to get away and have some "you time". Kudos to [your husband] for helping make all of this possible for you and to Emily for taking such wonderful pictures. You look fantastic!
