6 Weeks to Embrace Yourself In Photos & Life

From Cringe to Compassion

“I look bad in photos”
”There’s a reason why I’m a photographer”
”I hate myself in photographs”
”I always looks terrible when someone takes my photo”

These are just a handful of phrases that I have heard in my career as a photographer in the past 15 years. Whether I was photographing weddings, families, portraits, boudoir, etc. it never mattered - during my consultation almost every single person would confide in me that they hated the way they looked.

And it got me thinking…if everyone hates the way they look, maybe it’s not about their looks at all. And that led me to conduct some research in the past few years to uncover a handful of reasons why we struggle to embrace what we see in a photograph and even, in a mirror.

5 of those reasons were discussed in my Tedx Talk:

5 Reasons You Look Bad in Photos

While I provided a suggestions on how to start embracing yourself in photos, I knew I wanted to take this deeper because there are a ton of folks out there who’s gifts are needed in the world, but they are too afraid of being seen.

I want to literally walk with you through the process of changing how you see yourself in photos - past, present, and future - so that, at the end of 6 weeks, when you see yourself in photos (yes, even the “bad” ones) it no longer takes away your self esteem or confidence.

When we release the fear of being seen, we can shift our focus to what’s really important: our mission & purpose.

Here’s what students are saying:

Who is this course for?

This course is for you if:

-You want to improve your visibility in your work.

-You have a big event coming up (wedding, birthday, etc.) and will be photographed

-You have a long history of not being in photos and want to find out why

-You’re ready to excavate the thoughts & beliefs that shape how we see ourselves in photos and in life!

CURRICULUM

Week 1: Introduction + Reflections - understanding how seeing ourselves in photos is at odds with how we see ourselves daily

Week 2: Unrecognizable - taking a look at the identities we've taken on shape how we think we "should" show up vs. how we do

Week 3: Hyper-fixation - breaking down the reasons why we hyper-focus on parts of ourselves in images and what to do about it

Week 4: Expectations - Getting curious about what we've been taught to expect from our bodies & photographs and how to come to a place of acceptance.

Week 5: Angles - Understanding what we've been taught about "flattering" vs. "unflattering" and how to become comfortable seeing yourself from any angle

Week 6: Other factors - We will discover a few other factors that can impact how we see ourselves in photographs and finish the class feeling empowered, educated, and excited to show up!

Just when you thought you were done! There’s even MORE testimonials!

I won't have you forcing confidence or faking a smile. Instead I will be creating a space where you can see yourself in photos and not have it impact your self worth - regardless of what the photo looks like. Through hands-on exercises, real-time feedback, and a welcoming, judgment-free atmosphere, you’ll learn to see yourself with more kindness, more curiosity, and ultimately, more love.

This class isn’t about taking better photos. It’s about seeing the person in them ~ you ~with compassion, care, & acceptance.

This allows you to show up as your full, magnetic self!
