One of my points in my talk was about “showing yourself”. It’s SO good for us to be in front of the camera! I know some of us HATE being on the other side of the lens. It’s hard. We know what looks good and we know what looks bad. So naturally, we constantly worry about our poses, double chins and puffy eyes when we’re in front of the camera. We do this because we’re HUMAN and sometimes our anxiety gets the best of us! Well, you know how you fix this phobia? DOING IT! Have your pictures taken!
It’s really SUCH a great experience to have another photographer pose you, encourage you and shoot you!! Not only is it nice to have updated portraits, but you will learn SO much about how your own clients feel!! Michael and I were lucky enough to have the amazing Annamarie Akins take some anniversary portraits for us in SEDONA!!! AH!
While we were visiting some friends, we casually threw out the idea about how awesome it would be to travel to Sedona and snap some portraits! That quickly turned into a full blown shoot and I LOVED it!!! These images mean SO much to me for some many different reasons. Annamarie is a past KJ BRIDE, coaching alumni, workshop model and a dear dear friend of mine!! Seriously, she’s amazing!! I’m so proud of all that she has accomplished in her business and I couldn’t be more thrilled with these amazing images!!!
Thank you so so much Anna!!! We love them AND this first picture is my FAVORITE!!! Well, one of them! 
I LOVE this one!!
Ahhh!!!
So SO beautiful!!!
Is it just me, or did the rocks perfectly match my hair?! :) 
Thanks for reading!
