Never be afraid to be yourself.

Sounds cheesy, right? But why would you spend your time being like anyone else? Everything about you--from your silly jokes to your signature style--makes you unique. Your value doesn't come from a comparison to others and their capability or personality. So let your light shine, friend! The world needs it!

My friend Tara is a great example of someone who isn't afraid to be themself! She lights up the room and is so expressive, even in front of the camera! I love photographing Tara because she is genuine (and beautiful)!
