A project that is incredibly special to me is officially live. ONLINE and in person. It’s real. What seemed a dream or maybe just a really cool idea has finally come to fruition.
Several months ago, an idea was created between myself and a fabulous woman named Coralee. For my local people in Burleson, Coralee knows someone for everything you could need. What started as her asking Woolard’s Custom Jewelers for a donation, quickly turned into an idea based on what they do best. Custom jewelry creation. Let me back up and give you the back story behind the idea that sparked it all.
While I will always photograph people in general – my passion is women of all ages. From little girls to mothers to the women who lead us by the lives they have lived. The passion behind what I do is fueled from having a desire to show women how beautiful and strong they are. To remind them that you will never be the perfect weight or size, you will never be the perfect shade of tan, you will always be tired from running here and there and taking care of others… however, take a step back and see yourself as those around you view you. You are strong. You are worthy. You are making an impact on someone else, even when you don’t see it. It’s important to me to remind women of this when they step in front of my camera. It’s important to me to help the little girls see this and not get lost in what society says they should be. There is no perfect woman… the world would be so boring if we all were.
While brainstorming about how I wanted to take over the world (kidding… kinda), Coralee and I talked about … What would a woman BE if she could BE anything? (get it… BE = Beautiful Evolutions… keep up with me now)
After asking some of the women in a private Facebook group that I have… these were some of the words that were given to us.
ACCOUNTABLE
ALIVE
AMAZING
BADASS
CONFIDENT
COURAGEOUS
DETERMINED
FEARLESS
FIERCE
FREE
GRACIOUS
HERO
INSPIRING
INVINCIBLE
KIND
RESPECTFUL
STRONG
SURVIVOR
UNIQUE
UNSTOPPABLE
VALUABLE
YOU
Each and every one of these words has a story behind it. For me… my word was Inspiring. I want to inspire others, I want to show women how amazing they are, I want to show our daughters growing up that they can truly accomplish anything if they are dedicated and driven, I want to show women that no matter what size, shape, color, or age they are… they are beautiful.
These words have been hand created into necklace pendants. Each necklace has two pendants.. a BE and a word… you can actually, add as many words as you would like. These are a small reminder to BE the person you are intended to be. A gentle nudge to keep you moving in the right direction. A gift to help someone else remember that they are worthy and they are loved.
And now… they are real. An idea that has been created and is actually on the market to purchase. An idea that is no longer just living in our minds. Thank you Woolard’s Custom Jewelers and thank you Coralee for creating this beautiful reminder for women of all ages and at all stages in their story.
{Proceeds from the BE charm will be donated to The Women’s Center}
