The BE Project | Tiffany and “Joyful”
Every year, The BE Project invites people into my studio to pause, reflect, and choose a word that will guide the next chapter of their lives. It is not about perfection or reinvention overnight. It is about honesty. Courage. Becoming.
When Tiffany stepped in front of my camera, she smiled when she said her word.
“Joyful.”
It came after a year of rebuilding confidence, reclaiming health, and refusing to let hard seasons steal her light.
The BE Project exists because I believe that we are all evolving and every person deserves to see themselves as art while they are becoming the person they are meant to be.
Why She Chose “Joyful”
Tiffany shared that last year her word was “Confident,” and she worked hard to quiet the voice that told her she was not enough.
Then life happened.
Hard things.
Heavy seasons.
Moments that dulled her spark.
This year she decided joy would not be accidental.
It would be chosen.
“No matter what happens, I’m choosing joy.”
What She Is Working Toward This Year
One of Tiffany’s proudest accomplishments is reclaiming her health.
After losing weight, regaining some, and starting again, she is now just a few pounds from her goal.
This year is about maintaining what she fought for.
Consistency.
Trust.
Believing she can keep the promises she makes to herself.
What Grounds Her
Home is Tiffany’s refuge.
Her husband.
Her children.
The quiet that settles when everyone is together again.
When anxiety creeps in, that space becomes her reset button.
What She Is Learning About Herself
Tiffany is discovering that resilience and joy can live in the same body.
That healing is not undone by setbacks.
That choosing happiness is an act of bravery.
She is learning to celebrate progress instead of chasing perfection.
Photographing “Joyful”
In the studio, joyful looked radiant.
Bright eyes.
Relaxed laughter.
A woman who has decided she deserves delight again.
Her portraits sparkled with lightness and confidence.
A Final Reflection
Tiffany’s story reminds us that joy is not naive.
It is defiant.
It is choosing hope when circumstances argue otherwise.
What word would you choose for this season of your life?
What are you stepping into this year?
