Allow me to bare my heart for a moment. I’ve been meaning to write about the journey of pregnancy… specifically how I saw the body transform and it’s power! Even up to this day I still can’t believe that I have a human growing inside me.

That what I am now is exactly what I am meant to be. And that my outside actually matches my inside, which I didn't even realize I didn't believe was true." she shared...
We achieved something special through our shoot. A Melinda that was unadulterated, beautiful & bold! She has since told me how amazing the experience was for her and how it was liberating on so many levels. I will never forget the bonds I've formed with former clients, Melinda being no exception. The connection we had was unmistakable and I have her to thank for that. I am grateful for that connection, because through her growing confidence I felt mine do the same...
She’s vibrant, positive and compelling. There was something about Cristina that attracts people around her, maybe it was her charisma, her personality or her great style.
