From Behind My Lens V1
As a little girl, I remember absolutely loving make-up, lip gloss, jewelry, and nail polish. What little kid doesn't, actually? I spent countless hours discussing different shades of gloss with my mother, and every chance I got, I pored over the treasures in my grandmother's jewelry box. I remember contemplating my daily wardrobe and constantly futzing with my hair. I'm not sure I was deeply aware of what it was, but even then, as a young girl, I found a path to my own self-confidence.
Following my mother's path and passion, after high school, I headed into education, hoping to teach and mentor young people on their own journeys. This was very good for me, but ulitmately, I remained a bit restless within myself and not completely happy. Teaching is a gift, and as we all know; some are great at it and others lack the plethora of skills necessary to be truly amazing educational mentors. I feared I might have a foot in both camps.
In high school and my early years at university, I enjoyed and explored some elements of graphic & web design, alongside photography, which I really loved. I started photographing family, friends, their kids, weddings, and other important life events. The power of capturing life, love, and even loss is a privilege and one that I took great pride in. And while finding a comfort zone behind the lens was still a work in progress, I could see and feel the beginnings of my love for empowerment photography start to fill in. It took me back to my own early days of fantasies & dreams via lip gloss, pretty nails, and elegant jewelry.
Empowerment photography can have many meanings. For me, it speaks to photographing women in ways that provide a luxurious and unique personal experience, and our focus is on creating solace, within an intimate setting. I have worked extremely hard with my partners and team to create several settings at Monroe & Co, that offer our customers and clients many different options for getting comfortable and beginning their own journey to self-empowerment.
