Seven remarkable women volunteered to be a part of this Beauty Collective. They came to Taylors Falls with seven different and incredible stories. Seven sets of fears. Seven faces. Seven cars and seven bodies and seven beautiful hearts. These women are all beautiful. They are all flawed and imperfect. They are all funny and unique and special. These women are real. They are you and me. Your mothers and sisters and best friends, and strangers behind you in line at Target. They are faces in a crowd. Commuters. Worker bees. Dreamers. Lovers. They are each and every one of us. And they are remarkable. So, let us revel in their beauty. In their flawed perfection. In their exquisite and profound beauty. If only for a moment. And let us allow that moment to last a lifetime. To the ladies in these photographs, thank you. For giving yourselves over to this project. For showing...

Today is one of those days when it seems like winter will never end. I’m starting to worry that the wind will never again be filled with the sound of birds or the delicate scent of wildflowers and that we’ll never see the beauty that is a Midwest Summer. But instead of throwing my hands up in defeat, and accepting the seeming permanence of the ugly landscape, I’m channeling a different kind of beauty. The kind that is the absolute essence of every woman. Raw. Real. Powerful. Exquisite. Today, as the threat of snow lingers in the cold spring air, I’m remembering the past two Beauty Collectives. I’m reminiscing about the amazing women who opened themselves up, not only to my camera, but to themselves, and I’m missing every single one of their faces and every last ounce of their hearts. Which means …….. it’s time for another Collective! I’m doing things...

The women in these photographs are exquisite. Remarkable. Brave. Strong. These women are you. Me. The woman behind the register at Target. Your best friend’s cousin. Your sister. A stranger you pass in the library. But most importantly, just like the rest of us, they are beautiful women struggling to overlook their imperfections and insecurities. And they are the faces behind the most recent installment of the Beauty Collective. To learn more about the Beauty Collective – and the meaning and message behind it- Please read this post.

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...
