We are women, power houses

Looking at these portraits of Julia, I see a power house of energy, softness, intelligence and humour looking back at me. 

A straight up warrior, living life vigorously and compassionately from the inside out.

A woman in tune with her power, fiercely capable of handling anything.

A loving force, but a force none the less and one to be reckoned with.

A multifaceted unparalleled tower of strength that we, as women, can and should all celebrate … straight up!

I see beauty!

ps:  A massive thank you to Julia for jumping out of her comfort zone to stand in front of my lens and go all in for a wonderful portrait session. Two things of magic happened:  she won over her fear of facing the camera and, importantly, grew her power. As the über talented Sue Bryce would declare: she now also exists in photos #ExistinPhotos
