Fig Tree Portraits

BOZENA S

When I inquired about the photo session, my goal was to walk away with couple nice pictures of me and my daughter. All I wanted was to have my daughter’s beautiful face to look at while she is away for two years serving in Peace Corps. I was completely unprepared for the surprise I was about to receive from Patricia. I have to admit that I was somehow taken back by all the “glamour thing”. At the consultation I kept pushing back and Patricia kept pushing forward – explaining to me that we don’t need glamour preps to look like girls from the cover of the magazine. Eventually, I decided to trust her and see what will happen. The photo session was a lot of fun. We felt great! Our makeup was touched up for each look and hair styled and re-styled 3 times. There was champagne and fancy snacks. I guess in this kind of atmosphere it was easy to bring up the models hidden inside us. However, what totally blew me away was the final product! The pictures look like a dream I always had! While this was probably easy with my young and beautiful daughter, I am a woman in mid 40’s and I believed that I missed the window of opportunity to capture my external beauty and youth in the pictures. Today I can see that my grandchildren will look one day at these pictures and say “our grandma was one beautiful woman”! Turns out that we carry our beauty with us through our entire lives but sometimes the beauty hides somewhere under our skin. With a little help of makeup and of course a good dose of Patricia’s magic, the beauty comes up to the surface and looks right in to her lens! As for my little baby girl? I look at her pictures and for the first time in her life I see not a baby girl but a beautiful young woman full of potential and passion for life. I wish that every woman in this world could experience at least once in her life what I was able to experience during that session. This is definitely the best gift I’ve ever given myself.”
