When I did my first photoshoot, it brought out my self-confidence in a way that I never could have imagined.

My first shoot was one that I’ll never forget because it was a turning point for me and my business where I felt I was truly stepping into the role of the entrepreneur.

After about a year of working as a virtual assistant, I was ready to take my marketing to the next level which led me to reach out on a local FB Group to find a photographer in the area to help me capture some content for my website and socials.

Shortly after, I connected with a local photographer and booked a date to make it happen.

After that first photoshoot, I began showing up as the person I wanted to be.

The person who is confident and happy with her life.

The person who believes that she is capable of anything she puts her mind to.

The person that is not afraid to put herself out there even when it can be uncomfortable at first.⠀

Yoko from Yoko’s Photography dressed me up like a princess 3+ years ago and I will never forget the way she made me feel beautiful despite my own internal doubts and fears.

Honestly, there is nothing like having someone call you beautiful for an hour to make you start actually believing that it could be true.

Since that experience, I started doing collaboration photoshoots, and now, modeling with my agency, Glass Management.

None of this would have been possible if it weren’t for this first photoshoot that gave me the confidence to be seen!

Now, I try to schedule a photoshoot for myself at least every six months.

Not only are photoshoots great for my social media content and website images, but they also give me a little confidence boost to remind me that, “I’ve got this!”⠀

As a kid, my dad always told me to “take a step back from the mirror” because I tended to (and still tend to) get up close and personal with the tiniest of imperfections that the average stranger would never even notice.⠀

Have you ever done a personal photoshoot before? ⠀

If not, what is stopping you?
