She is Mine and I am Hers.

My sister is me
And I am my sister.

Usually opposite in most ways,
Because together we are whole.
The parts of me I call the "shadow"
I usually see in her.

(Interestingly enough, when we were younger I would say she followed me around like my shadow.)

This can cause disagreements and misunderstandings, of course,
But it's because she reflects back to me, the parts of myself that I am afraid of.

The brashness
The unapologetic
The "bad girl"
The tenacity
The fighter
The rebellious
The perseverance
The soft heart
The tenderness
The "good girl"
The cute one
The hot one
The chaos
The calm
The structured
The flighty

She is a fun house mirror,
The image distorted slightly so it's different than my usual reflection,
She shows me what I could be capable of - both the dangerous and the kind.

When I look at her,
She looks at me.
When I feel pain,
She feels my pain.
When she cries out,
I cry out.
When she laughs,
I laugh.

Over time, I learn to sit with her,
Learn from her
And make peace
With what I called
My "shadow"

So, when the time comes,
She will have taught me
How to be whole.

I am hers
And she is mine.

Because my sister is me,
And I am my sister.

Ryon & Regan have been muses for me for a few years, so when it was time to get back in the studio I had a vision that I wanted to create with them. Ryon has been dealing with some health stuff in the last few years and Regan has been right by her side, worrying just as much, if not moreso than Ryon. When these 2 came into the studio, it was evident that Regan wanted Ryon to have this experience to distract from what was going on in her life. My vision for the session was all about metallics & glam vintage vibes. A huge shout out to Sandy for the incredible makeup looks!
