I Am Fearless. I Am Beautiful.

I have created four photography/essay books in the last 16 years. It's really been my journey through life. Now I am really exploring a real sexy woman's body as art. 

I created a Valentine's portrait campaign I called, Fearless Diva Valentine's Portrait Party. I did a shoot with a beautiful woman featured here, Christina Dunbar. She is a poetess and as she brands herself a "Catalyst for Badassery." She is also blessed with an amazing body and the confidence to love it and express that love in poetic posing. She was a blast to work with. I am grateful to have a fantastic makeup/hair artist Nicole Bolin.

I have posted many of the portraits from that session on Facebook to promote the portrait party. Most of the comments where, "Well if I had that body..." So it made me realize that I needed to create a project I am calling, "I am fearless. I am beautiful." I see how so many of us women, no matter what age, have body issues. I know, I'm not the first to bring this up. 

So I am putting out there that I am looking for women with full bodies and mature faces. I am looking forward to exploring, body as art!
