What is a big "shift" in my career?.. Back to basics..

So.. a little back story to that first..
I had been taking portraits since I've started my photography business. It was always fun. I have also some decent knowledge of make up, so I could even do a make up for my clients (convenient but not very practical, because it's too much to do in one photo session).


But I always enjoyed working with people - one on one. And I was also interested in weddings, so I started shooting weddings too. I would say, it was never my passion. I love doing weddings and capture such a special day in people's life. The biggest part I love about wedding was usually the continuity working with the same people. First their engagement pictures, after that wedding, pregnancy pictures next, family pictures, some anniversaries.. The list goes on. I definitely enjoy the portraits the most, because it's time, when I can be creative, open up and let my clients to open too and hear their story, so I can capture it.

Since my son was born, I'm going through a huge transformation and transition and lately, I'm realizing, that I don't wanna be away from my family for so many hours and afterward spend so much time on my computer with the postproduction.

After Eli's first birthday celebration, Nick and I decided to do a special detox/cleanse by Dr. Robert Morse. He is amazing, if you wanna check him out, he has a channel on youtube and he is helping anyone who is willing to listen and do something about their health. I'm super passionate about it too.
I have to tell you, part of this shift/turn in my career is because of this detox. It's only raw vegan food diet. Without seeds and nuts. Only fruits, veggies and juices. We've been doing it for about 3 weeks and I felt amazing. The clarity of my mind is incredible and I'm really enjoying it so much. Also all the inspiration that is freely coming and I feel super motivated. Hands down, best detox that I've ever done. I can recommend it to anyone!

Ever since we moved into our own place in Normal Heights, San Diego, I'm feeling more and more on a right path in my life. I'm a healer. I love helping people to heal and see the beauty within. I always wanted to combine my life purpose - healing and helping with my photography business. And now I know how. I'm in love with glamour portraits.

I love working with women. I love empowering women and I love connecting with people. And I can do that through photography. It's such a wonderful gift to share my skills and healing with anyone, who would like to give themselves the chance to open their heart and see the beauty within through my eyes and heart.
I also realized, why I loved taking pictures of weddings so much (and I still do, but I'm not as passionate about it as I am about the fine art portraiture)... Because the bride is so nicely dressed up, with beautiful hair and make up, in a spectacular dress and she feels and looks like a princess. And that's what I want to capture - the happiness in the woman's eyes, when she feels special and beautiful. It's such an important reminder in every day life.

I believe, that we don't have to wait for a wedding day (not everybody wants to get married anyways) to look and feel like Goddesses. My team and I can help you capture your beauty any day on our mutually open schedule.

I also believe, that everyone needs and most of the time wants a good portrait of themselves. And I can do that for you.

The question is simple, how would you like to be photographed?

Have a wonderful day and stay tuned for more to come.

Warmly,

Barbora
