When I first met Lorraine, she looked through the photographs I had taken, and I could see how deeply she appreciated the beauty captured in each and every woman. She didn’t just see the beauty, she felt it.
As we spoke, she told me her hope that her own session would bring equally beautiful results.
Knowing Lorraine now, I can tell you that her beauty radiates from within—despite the challenges life has thrown her way, her positive attitude and sweet spirit shine through.
Truly an inspiration!
Here are some questions that I asked Lorraine:
Q: How has your relationship to time changed as you have gotten older? Has it sped up? Has it slowed down? When did it move the fastest for you?
A: The fastest move was when my children were younger and I can say the happiest days ever.
Q: What advice would you give to yourself when you were a young mother?
A: My advice to my self when I was a young mother was always be positive even when life gives you a bitter taste.
Q: What gets you up in the morning? What are your motivations?
A: My motivation to wake up in the morning is my family that I adore them.
Q: When in your life, so far, have you felt most confident and why?
A: Believe it or not the more I’m getting older I’m getting more confident of myself.
