Mother & Daughter Moments

"Linda" means beautiful in Spanish, my native tongue. Linda has three daughters, three grandchildren, and she doesn't like smiling in photographs. And the name certainly suits her. Becca is one of her daughters. A runner and a very active mom who could hardly imagine herself as glamorous. Mother and daughter came to Lightfolly's studio one afternoon, a little bit skeptical that a lens could capture their connection. What an opportunity to make some magic.

So here we were: tulle skirts, curlers, and mascara all around. They began by siting down and commenting on each other's make-up and clothing choices. They were a little awkward at first, being asked to pose and embrace under direction. But eventually they let go; Linda smiled, Becca looked glamorous. But most importantly, they let themselves be together and connect. They let themselves step outside of their comfort zones and be beautiful. They let themselves #existinphotos. And that, my friends, is magic.
