"Embrace"

Good Morning!


I have been MIA for a bit because I have some new things in the works.
As many of you know this year has brought many changes here at the studio.
After specializing in Bellies and babies for the past 13 + years I decided it was time for a change. While I am still offering pre-natal sessions I am no longer photographing babies and young children.  I have decided to focus on women's portraits exclusively.  This includes young women (tweens and teens) through the mature woman. 


One of the comments I hear most often when I am talking to women about having their own portraits taken is "I don't look good in pictures!" followed by "I need to lose 20 pounds first".  Seriously, I hear it all the time. But, why aren't we "enough"?  Why can't we be happy with who we are, AS we are now?!  Which brings me to this:


Last night I attended a screening of the movie "Embrace" (see the trailer below).  I first heard that the movie was coming to Hooksett about a month ago and I immediately got a ticket for both me and my daughter.  As soon as I watched the trailer there was no question in my mind that we would be attending.  THIS is the message I want to share, THIS movie says it all.  Any woman that has ever had body shaming issues needs to see this!   I was NOT disappointed and (I can safely say now) neither was my daughter.  Each woman in the movie told a story and every woman made great points that hit home.  The best part was, it opened a dialog for my daughter and I, and we had a great talk on the way home from the show, that SHE started!  It was great!


Here we are waiting for the show to start and Syd being Syd!  <3  Girls night!

I went to bed thinking about this movie and woke up this morning thinking about it.  I had to learn more!  So, I went to the to see how I can bring this movie to Concord so that even more women can see it. 


Here is the overview taken from the website:  "When Body Image Activist Taryn Brumfitt posted an unconventional before-and-after photo in 2013 it was seen by more than 100 million people worldwide and sparked an international media frenzy. EMBRACE follows Taryn’s crusade as she explores the … Moreglobal issue of body loathing, inspiring us to change the way we feel about ourselves and think about our bodies."

To say that this was eye opening, and inspiring, and empowering would be an understatement!  It needs to be seen by as many woman as possible.  Here is where we come in!  


I have scheduled a showing at the Regal Theatre on Loudon Rd in Concord on Tuesday, November 29 at 7:30 pm.  We must have at least 60 tickets sold for them to do the show!  What I need You to do is follow this link below and reserve your tickets so we get a count.  Once the film is "tipped" (we get the 60 tickets sold) you will be charged for the ticket(s) but not until we have the confirmation that it is a GO!  


Yes!  I believe so strongly in the film that I don't want to wait to share it and have scheduled it during the studio's busiest season!  So, let's get the word out!   I will start a page on Facebook where you can share it with your friends to get the word out but in the meantime you can follow the link below so you can check it out and share it with friends now!  It would be a great girls night out or bring your moms and your daughters! 


Check it out here!
