As I sit down to write this, I find myself reflecting on the journey that has brought me to this moment. Recently, I received a diagnosis of orthostatic hypotension, a condition that affects blood flow and can cause dizziness, nausea, fainting, and fatigue when going from a sitting to standing position or when standing for too long. Unfortunately, there is no cure for this condition—only palliative care to help manage the symptoms. This diagnosis has prompted me to embrace every opportunity to capture and celebrate life, and it is with this spirit that I am excited to talk about my group photography shoot coming up soon, which may very well be my last group shoot, as they tend to be long and arduous.
Event Details
Mark your calendars for July 26th, 2025, from 5 PM to 8:30 PM, at the stunning Pole Garden in Monroe, WA! For just $45 per model and photographer, you’ll have the chance to be part of a unique and memorable experience!
What to Expect
Models will be transformed into ethereal beings with glittery makeup and boho, gauzy dresses. There will be an extensive collection of size-inclusive body jewelry (courtesy of Indulgence Intimate Portraiture) and beautifully crafted crocheted shawls (courtesy of Crocheted Chimerism) available as accessories. These unique additions will allow everyone to express their individuality and enhance their photos in a personal way. Crocheted Chimerism is also supplying crocheted blankets to sit on in the outdoor space by the studio.
We will use a purple and cream crystal, moss, and floral decorated frame, a rainbow colored floral and crystal-decorated mirror, and a beautifully intricate filigree mirror as props in the grass. Each piece is designed to add a touch of magic and whimsy to your photographs, creating an atmosphere of joy and celebration. Then we will move to the driveway, a long, winding dirt road surrounded by trees and magic.
To keep our energy up during the shoot, I’ll provide refreshments, including water, fresh fruits, and vegetables. It's a chance to mingle, connect, and enjoy the company of fellow creatives while savoring some healthy snacks.
Important Notes
Please note that electricity will be limited to the area directly near the studio, and we will not be using the indoor studio space—only the beautiful outdoor area and the bathroom facilities will be accessible. This setup encourages us to embrace the natural beauty around us while focusing on creating memorable images together.
A Personal Reflection
This photography shoot means more to me than just capturing images; it’s a celebration of life, creativity, and community. I want to create a space where everyone feels welcome and valued, regardless of their background or ability. As I navigate this new chapter of my life, I am reminded of the importance of cherishing every moment and the connections we forge with others.
I invite you to join me on this journey, to share in the laughter, creativity, and beauty that photography brings. Together, let’s create lasting memories that will warm our hearts for years to come. I look forward to seeing you all at Pole Garden on July 26th, 2025!
