A friend of mine wanted to give me a 30th birthday present. Very vaguely he stated “I would like to have my friend photographer take some pictures for you for your birthday”. I said “Ok”. I just thought they would be some professional photos of me for my website or something. A few weeks later with the session already paid for, I took a look at Lolos’s website and immediately went into panic mode… “Oh my.
Women Stories
We live by stories. Stories shape us, inspire us, amuse us, change us, and set us free. Stories teach, heal, help us remember and celebrate important pasages in our lives. Sometimes we tell our story, to let it go, and make room for a new story. We are not one story. We are many.
In her creative work, Lone listens for the deeper story, or rather the essence. Through the lens she looks for the stories hidden in people's gestures, tone of a voice, body language and movement. Or she makes up stories, that are larger than life, in an attempt to show what we might not yet see.
In these story pages, she share stories, hers and those of others, hoping to inspire you to tell your stories.

Dear Me,

Coming Out" is sometimes a gradual process (like my metamorphosis at the moment), and other times it requires a big bold statement - to self, to the world. 
Powerful shifts in life happen when you realize that the relationship to you is the most important to honor, relish and nurture. 
Wow! I am deeply touched by Katherine's courage to go on living, no matter what! Katherine's story is a great example of the kind of curve ball life sometimes throws at us, and how it is possible to mine the loss, grief, despair and turn it into something that pulls us forward into the light and expands us into something fuller, wiser, more beautiful. I am so honored that she trusted me to hold space for her process of self-expression of the woman she is becoming.
Expressing Your Sexy Soul part of your bucket list? It was part of Miss C's, here joyously falling in love with her beautiful self, the best kind of love... ♥
I remember walking around the beautiful La Pere Chaise in Paris, looking at the graveyards, one more beautiful than the next, complete with personalized houses, statues and decorative art around it, and thinking: so much tribute paid to a life lived, what if we paid as much tribute to our lives, to living, while at it? 
Life has a way of making sure we get what we need. What initially was a big goal related to weight loss, became a foray into her sexuality and womanhood.
Miss Tres is a wonderful example of a woman who courageously chooses joy in her life. She is also a creative soul who draws erotic self-portraits as part of 'claiming' her sexuality. I was so inspired when she shared her sweet, sexy note book with me, and grateful that she'll share some of her reflections, photos and drawings with you...
Dani was wonderful to work with, because she so deeply engaged herself in the entire adventure and thus, realized she didn't need 'sexy attire', masks or otherwise, to feel liberated in her sexual, sensual self. Naked she felt the most powerful - and sacred. Something for all of us to consider as we stretch toward authenticity and truth in ourselves, our lives and relations.
It all began with a corset. It was a Christmas gift that my boyfriend, soon to be husband, surprised me with one afternoon. I went to the shop and picked out the fabric, cut and style with a bit of pressure since it is often difficult for me to make decisions in general, let alone my very first and only corset! I absolutely loved my gift and thought that it deserved to be photographed, and yes well, I need to be in this photograph as well! Me in my corset! An outgoing and bold thought for a 23 year old student.
