Women have been getting professional photoshoots for years.
In my experience, each shoot costs about $2,000, and I’ll do up to five a year. So yes — I’ve invested a lot into creating professional-quality photos. But with AI editing tools today, I can now capture that same level of quality right from my phone. Honestly, it’s made me less inclined to spend thousands each time, even though I’ve still done it twice in the last five months.
The photos are there so you know exactly what I look like. If I ever showed up and didn’t look like my photos — or better — you’d have every right to turn me away and write a review about it.
Some ladies will die on the hill of “no editing” or “selfies only,” but here’s how I see it:
Have you ever looked up and seen a beautiful full moon — glowing, perfect — and tried to take a picture of it? What did you get? A blurry white blob that looks nothing like what your eyes saw. Yet, the only stunning moon photos you’ve ever seen have all been edited — not to fake the moon, but to make it look the way it truly appeared in real life.
That’s exactly how I view my photos. When I look in the mirror and think, “Wow, I look amazing right now,” I’ll take a quick selfie. But bad lighting, angles, and the camera’s limitations don’t always capture what I see. So, I use a little AI magic to make the image reflect reality — to show you what you would actually see if you were standing in front of me.
And in addition to that, I’ve updated some of my older photos to better reflect how I look now. I’ve lost over 35 pounds in the past two years, and I have thousands of dollars’ worth of professional photos from before that transformation. Rather than let them go to waste, I’ve refined a few so they match my current appearance more accurately.
I don’t edit to deceive — I edit to represent myself honestly. Technology just helps me bridge the gap between how I look in person and what the camera captures.
