Wow, what can I say that will sum up this wonderful experience other than - DO IT! Don't let age, weight, self-esteem stop you. Trust me.It seemed like a spur of the moment decision but it really wasn't, it was a long time coming. To sum it up, this year has been crap and I wanted to do something for myself - a way to be kind to myself. I saw a post on FB from Klein Studios looking for mature plus size women. Well, I thought, I'm mature (57 yo) and I'm plus sized why not, I can always change my mind!Next thing I knew I was anxiously arriving at Klein's beautiful studio and being welcomed by the kindest people - Sarah and Martina. Martina put me immediately at ease and quickly transformed me into, well, ME! But a beautiful me that I had never seen before. Not even on my wedding day! She is a master.Sarah made me feel so at ease and relaxed. I had brought lingerie, but honestly never thought I would wear any of it in the end. Well, I wore almost all of my outfits! She put them together with the right jewelery and a few props I had brought along... A book, tea cup, my hubby's hat, etc. It was a fun day but since I didn't want to get in my own head, I chose not to view any of the pictures as we went along. I probably wasn't going to buy them anyway I thought. This was more for the experience.When Liz and I did my photo reveal she was so lovely. She kidded that I didn't SOUND excited to see my pics even though I said I was...I wasn't. I've rarely been happy with a picture with me in it. I can't say that any longer. I had a hard time choosing my images! Not because I didn't like them, but because I loved them!! I looked confident and beautiful - the way my husband says he sees me. The best part? I still looked liked me.This team did more for me than just do my hair, makeup and take a few photos. They gave me something that I had been missing. My only regret is not doing this sooner. But being closer to 60 than 50, I feel this timing may have actually been the best.
