I am so excited to start my blog with one of my favorite clients ever… How do I even begin to describe this lovely woman? She has rocked my world since her first email. She has entrusted me with so much more than her portraits… she has shared her stories, love, heartache, zest, trust, belief, fears… she came to me with an open heart, an appreciation for who she is at this moment and confidence that I could capture that all in her images. I found it completely overwhelming and exciting and the perfect reminder of why I do what I do. So humbling, so beautiful…
One of her first emails was a journal entry in which she started with ‘I am…’. Anyone that has been to a Jesh De Rox workshop or had the pleasure of talking with him at any length will understand how this struck a chord instantly… what followed brought tears, smiles, laughs, admiration, connection. I feel so blessed that she found me. As you can see from the images, she is a woman completely full of life. And my life is better for knowing her…
Thanks T ;)

Tia Sherry: I am back now...ever since I viewed my photos, I've been gone...my soul just sort of took off, in flight. And I went someplace very far away. I left this Earth and entered the infinite universe where color enveloped me. I danced in the color yellow and was happy; I bathed in the color green and emerged clean; I skipped through the color blue and was calm; I slept in white and was at peace; then I was ravaged in the color red and I was satisfied. It was time to come home. I am back now. I have found home again. (04.22.2008 11:20am)
Kathy: Oh my god! These photos are frickin' stunning! Every one has a unique feel and side to Tia. I am gasping and in awe of her beauty and strength and soulfulness and sexiness. Wow. Wow. Wow. (04.24.2008 09:21pm)
Tia Sherry: Shannon - You are that sixth sense, that voice in my head, my guardian angel, my intuition, the spirit that says..."you're alright Tia." Been meaning to connect with you, but my life has changed so dramatically, there are no words except how I am lighter on my feet, softer with my voice, kinder with my touch - not just with people but with the very space around me - ever since I viewed my photos. I'll find you next week sweetie. Can't wait to see what my world is up to this evening, this weekend, this future. I am changed forever. xoxo times infinity (04.25.2008 04:52pm)
