“I can’t explain what this photo shoot and pictures mean to me… This was more than just a photo session for me. It was a celebration of my body and spirit, a gift to me from me. Visual proof that no matter how broken I feel inside, I am whole. Visual proof that despite heart break, I can still laugh, really laugh. The fact that you were able to capture all that in our short time together takes my breath away.”
“I’ll be honest - I’m a little choked up because these are so incredible…”
“When I see these photos I feel so empowered and just full of wonder, hope and joy.”
“This was, hands down, the coolest thing I’ve ever done for myself…”
“OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!! THESE ARE AMAZINGGGGG!!!!
I literally can’t stop smiling and almost cried— they are GORGEOUS!!! I love every single one of them. This is way beyond my expectations, I am utterly blown away.”
“I feel like your superpower is taking a woman and showing her all of the reasons to celebrate and love her body, exactly as it is.”
“OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You’re a genius! I don’t know how I’m going to choose!!!!! These are AMAZING. “
“I’ve never felt more seen, supported or safe to express my whole self…”
“Okay, seriously, some of these are so beautiful that I want to smack you. Is that weird? You f***ing KILL at your job, madam. I feel so fortunate that I got to shoot with you - there’s just magic in your eye and your camera.”
“I knew it would be a cool experience, but honestly it’s magical how you captured the essence and spirit of who I am.”
“Years ago, before my eating disorder recovery began, I never could have imagined being photographed, almost naked, in front of a camera. BUT THAT’S WHAT RECOVERY GIVES YOU – FREEDOM FROM LIMITING YOURSELF. Freedom from telling yourself “you don't get to do that” and “you are not good enough, skinny enough, beautiful enough.” Not only was I able to experience a boudoir shoot and be FULLY PRESENT FOR IT, I was able to LOVE every moment of the experience - feeling comfortable in my skin and loving the way my body FELT - sexy, empowered, strong…and most importantly, happy.”
“I am beyond grateful. I will cherish these photos forever.”
“Oh Cara...crying. How do you do it?! You make capture moments in time we can never get back, but now can vividly remember through your art. What a gift and talent you have. I’m blessed our paths crossed and continue to cross. You are a treasure and you’ve captured imagines I’ll cherish for my lifetime and hoping beyond!”
“This was about way more than just taking beautiful photos…you succeeded in making me feel great about my body. I sincerely mean it when I say every woman should do a photo shoot like this. I’ve never loved my body more than I do after today, and that’s saying something.”
“I cannot believe what an impact these photos have had on my life. They are a just as special to my husband and I as our wedding photos…”
“First of all, my book is fabulous. Like, FABULOUS. I can't believe it's actually me in there. Once again, you are seriously gifted.”
