KENDRA | THIS IS ME

Kendra is a practicing hypnotherapist, and, as such is in touch with her different personality types - healer, “date night”, warrior and party girl. She wanted each of these personalities photographed, which included some Cosplay because, as she put it so well, she loves to “freak it!”

“I struggle with societies views on [the idea of convential beauty]. When Iwas younger I didn’t understand everyones desire to look the same way, I liked the fact that I looked different.”

Kendra wanted to participate in the “This is Me” project to show her 13 year old daughter that she is proud of who she is and life is to be celebrated. 

“Overcoming obstacles continuously has made me into a very strong and confident person because I know where I’ve been.”

When asked what her favourite non-physical feature was about herself, Kendra replied,

“My empathy and ability to connect with people.”

“I have been multiple sizes over the years, but am always proud when I look in the mirror and into  own eyes because I am proud of the person inside.”

It was really special for me to be able to create a beautiful image of Kendra with her bow and her Father’s arrows. I know that this meant a lot to Kendra, and it is such and honour that she trusted me to create such a strong image for her.
