Project Flor Bella
The Flor Bella Project was created from a deeply personal place — born from my own healing journey and the power of seeing myself bloom again. During one of the hardest chapters of my life, taking photos became part of my transformation. It reminded me of my strength, beauty, and everything I was becoming. Now, through the Flor Bella Project, I gift one woman a full floral photoshoot experience — a moment to feel seen, celebrated, and worthy . Each session includes a personalized floral dress designed to reflect her story. This project is my way of giving back — a reminder that we all deserve to see ourselves as the beautiful, resilient women we are.

How this project came about?..........
Back in 2024 I was doing a creative style shoot and the model couldn’t make it. Everything and everyone was ready, and there was no one else available—so I had to step in and be the model.
Growing up, I hated taking pictures. I avoided the camera at all costs. But these photos ended up becoming a turning point for me. They were the moment I started learning to truly love myself.
Now, at 36, I finally love the woman I see in the mirror. I’ve learned that real beauty starts within—and I’m so grateful for that.

This photo shoot was such a beautiful and meaningful experience for a momma who is slowly finding her pink again. For a long time, mom guilt hit hard, and taking care of myself always seemed to fall to the bottom of my list.
As I get older, I’m learning that it’s okay to be a little “selfish” and pour back into me. A solo photo shoot was never something I even considered, but being lucky enough to win this experience felt like the gentle nudge I didn’t know I needed.
It became more than just photos — it was a reminder that I deserve to feel confident, to feel seen, and to love myself too 🤍
Grateful, thankful, and forever appreciative of this moment that helped me take one more step toward bringing my pink back.
