It’s my favorite time of the year – the earth is readying itself for winter’s embrace. Dark, grey clouds rush across a cold autumn sky as the trees shake free their final leaves. Most people think it’s sort of ugly outside – but where others see brown, dead landscapes – I see beauty. Which is why I’m looking to shoot another installment of my Beauty Collective.

This is a project about women – about beauty  and acceptance – and about love. The only requirement to be a participant in the Collective is the willingness to open yourself up against your own criticism and see yourself in a new way.  I’m looking for approximately 8-10 women for this installment, and the shoot will take place on Saturday, November  17th, 2012 at approximately 3:00 in the afternoon (in the Twin Cities metro area). If you are interested in participating or want to learn more, please contact me!

(UPDATE: The Nov. 17th Beauty Collective is completely full! You ladies amaze me and I’m soooo blessed by your willingness to participate in this project. If you’re interested in being a part of the Collective, stay tuned to the blog for future dates! There will be many more opportunities to participate!)

I’ll also be shooting a Collective on Saturday, December 15th in NEW YORK CITY! If you live in/near NYC and want to be a part of this collective, please email me! I’ll have details on this one, soon!
