Kind Eyes offers a way to feel connected with the Beauty in every woman, an expanded more inclusive perception of beauty, both external and self-reflected.
Kind Eyes is about empowering our own relationship with Beauty and saying goodbye to our negative self-talk. It’s about my own journey and how I am learning to accept myself by celebrating the Beauty I see in others.
“the Beauty of each person is found in their imperfections” ~ Sophia Loren
We have the gift of a body, our body, one lifetime to live in it. Can we learn to love ourselves, our bodies, see our ‘flaws’ as our uniqueness and celebrate it? Can we own our Beauty, claim it for ourselves as our divine birthright?
“People often say that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves”
~ Salma Hayek
I am passionate about BEAUTY, and about reflecting back to any woman in front of me the Divine Beauty I see in her. My deepest desire is to contribute to the healing of our collective wounding around Beauty and to put out a positive message to women that will build self-love and acceptance and hopefully celebration!
Choosing to see myself as beautiful is my personal practice as a woman – As a photographer, it is my joy to help women own the narrative of their Beauty through visual imagery
Not that I never grab my stomach like it’s a sack of potatoes, or give myself a facelift with my hands on occasion…but I do it with love, and I laugh at myself and my humanness, and then I say something nice to myself and carry on.

PS – I am not a Navajo or any kind of Native American but I love this Navajo prayer because Divine Beauty is my guiding principal and how they saw Beauty in everything is really inspiring to me. May it inspire you too 🙂
Navajo Blessing Way Prayer
In beauty may I walk.
All day long may I walk.
Through the returning seasons may I walk.
On the trail marked with pollen may I walk.
With grasshoppers about my feet may I walk.
With dew about my feet may I walk.
With beauty may I walk.
With beauty before me, may I walk.
With beauty behind me, may I walk.
With beauty above me, may I walk.
With beauty below me, may I walk.
With beauty all around me, may I walk.
In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk.
In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk.
It is finished in beauty.
It is finished in beauty.
