STOP COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS FOR YOUR SESSION!

I know, to some extent, we are all comparing ourselves to others. But really, we shouldn’t, and we know it!

Before their session, I hear a lot from my clients that they don’t think they can pull off the beauty as my other clients can. But that is not even the point. I don’t want you to be as beautiful as the others. I want you to be as beautiful as YOU are, even if you can’t see the extent of your beauty yet.
This is what Dana said after her session with me:
“Diana made today so amazing and fun! I saw amazing portraits of friends and continued to second guess myself thinking there would be no way I could pull off their beauty. I left [my session with Diana] feeling like a million bucks.”
And yes, Dana didn’t pull off her friends’ beauty. She pulled off HER own beauty, and OMG, her photos look stunning!!! And you see Dana’s personality in her photos, which is my goal for every session. I don’t ‘just’ want to take pretty photos of you. I want to show how beautiful you are and how unique you are at the same time. That is my job, and that is what I am an expert in. I will guide you through the whole experience and will make YOU feel like a million bucks as well!

It doesn’t make sense to compare yourself to others because there is no other person with your exact DNA and experiences in life, good or bad, that makes sense to compare yourself to. YOU are too unique.

If you want to compare yourself to someone, The ONLY person YOU can realistically compare yourself to is YOU! You can see how much progress you have made and where you can improve some aspects of your life based on your own abilities and circumstances. 

This doesn’t mean that you are stuck in your environment. Comparing yourself to others to see how you can improve your life is beneficial. But comparing yourself to others to just feel bad about yourself doesn’t benefit ANYONE. Does this make sense?

Before your Planning Session, you have the option to make a Pinterest Board with photos you like, so I understand You more. We will not copy the photos at your session, but they will help visualize the style you like. Mainly things like hair & makeup, mood, outfit, etc. 

It is crucial that you try and distinguish between getting inspired artistically and comparing yourself to the look and abilities the person in the photo has.

This is YOUR photo session. You don’t need to compare yourself to anyone else because you are uniquely YOU! Whoop whoop!
