"Well, so I did this...something that didn't seem like it was for me but yet I admired the beautiful women Andrea Costrino photographed through her different campaigns. This year was quite a year for me, I became a grandma, twice, I turned 60 and I realized that the long, hard journey of making each day a joyful one while carrying the heartache of missing my son, every day, all day...perhaps this "warrior" campaign was one for me. I thought long about it actually then I thought, why not? I didn't want to do this alone though, so Andrea quickly said yes to me bringing my daughters with me. This then became very appealing and we made an adventure out of it, as we do most things. Bring the wine...well of course after all we should be sure to capture our "hobbies"...bring the book...after all that is the driver in this campaign speaking to me and then I wanted the poses to be "us" as much as possible because photos are what keep our memories in tact, all while Andrea adding her amazing professional touches and guidance for optimal poses. So I am doing this post to promote Andrea Costrino Portrait Photography and her beautiful work because it is more than just photography. She connects with you during this session, after all it is about 4 hours long! So am I glad I did it? Absolutely. Moving out of comfort zones has become something I am quite used to with the trials of life so with that..whether we call it Sassy and 60 (per Alyssa's description) or a Warrior theme...it was a great experience. For me it is capturing our love, support, joy and true loving friendship my daughters provide. I also dug out an old gown to find a use for once again LOL..(a closet full of them so any chance to use them more than once is all good). Thank you Andrea for capturing our best angles and the moments I so wanted to be sure that we did...here we go!
