In her own words

True Beauty-Beauty is confidence in yourself. Being comfortable in your own skin and who God created you to be. It’s more than what the eye can see. Beauty is your heart and the way you treat others around you. Your outward appearance is only a plus. With a good heart you are just as pretty as the next.

How did not wearing any makeup make you feel?

It felt liberating!

Thinking about it, what did your session mean to you?

An encouragement for others in my community to have self confidence no matter what thy are going through.

What are your thoughts or how do you feel about Project Beauty?

This is a great way for girls to naturally express themselves while encouraging others to fight against perfection.

Has this experience changed how you see yourself?

No, however; it helps me to be reminded that our world of social media puts great pressure for perfection.

Testimonial. Could you share your testimony?

I’ve always been a believer of providing encouragement to others. In the past, this has been done through having a strong a faith, in my relationship with God, family, and friends. Being a senior model has just provided an additional avenue to express myself while encouraging others to do the same.

In her own words

True Beauty- True Beauty to me is more about what it isn’t than what it is.  Beauty to me isn’t what most people think it is.  It isn’t the size of your pants, the flawlessness of your skin, how long your eyelashes are or if your teeth are straight or crooked.  Beauty isn’t how long your hair is or if you even have hair.  It isn’t what other people see when they look at you, what a photograph captures, or the reflection you see in a mirror.

True beauty cannot be seen.   Beauty is what people’s eyes can’t see but what draws them to you and makes them not want to leave.  Someone’s beauty is what makes you laugh, cry and feel safe when you are with them. Beauty is kindness, your sense of humor, generosity, natural talents, empathy and ambition.

True beauty cannot be judged in a contest and does not fade with age.  Beauty is what every person should aspire to have and to see in others. The measure of Beauty is how you can impact the world around you for the better and the respect you have for yourself.  Beauty is being authentically yourself and seeing the beauty in everyday things with deep appreciation.  When you are able to see the Beauty that can’t be seen, that is the definition to beauty.

How did not wearing any makeup make you feel?

Natural and uninhibited. I felt like there was nothing being hidden, it was just me.

Thinking about it, what did your session mean to you?

It meant being comfortable in my own skin without having to be concerned with what I had on or if my makeup was on correctly.  I was able to show the unedited version of myself, someone Im pretty proud of.

What are your thoughts or how do you feel about Project Beauty?

Project Beauty is a great way to inspire girls and women to show their true selves and to be comfortable with their most natural state. It shows that even girls that they think look perfect all of the time really aren’t.  It means finding your inner beauty and confidence and helping others to do the same.

Has this experience changed how you see yourself?

It has made me more comfortable to be seen as just myself without barriers and know that I am beautiful regardless of the texture of my hair or face on any given day.

In her own words

True Beauty- True beauty is the beauty you radiate with out the distractions of hair and makeup products and expensive clothes. It’s the physically unalterable charm you show through your confidence and your unwavering kindness to others. Knowing that you are beautiful and appreciating everyone’s different beauty, shows true beauty.

How did not wearing any makeup make you feel?

Being without makeup is a freeing feeling.  Even though I have to admit I was a little nervous to see the images for the first time.

Thinking about it, what did your session mean to you?

This session showed me that I am enough and helped my confidence. It built friendships and a sense of comfort in my own skin.

What are your thoughts or how do you feel about Project Beauty?

I hope project beauty helps girls see that what we all know is “normal” is beautiful.  I hope all realize  we are more critical of ourselves than everyone else. When I look at others’ images. I see their true beauty and hope they see the same in me.

Has this experience changed how you see yourself?

Yes, it has helped me see that I don’t have to be filtered or airbrushed to be beautiful!

Testimonial. Could you share your testimony?

In my picture you may be able to see a small, light birthmark on my cheek. I’m named after my grandmother and we have exactly the same mark. My mother has always told me it is a beauty mark. I think it’s a cool mark that will always identify me with my Nana.

In her own words

True Beauty- -True beauty comes from the inside out. There is nothing more beautiful than someone who is 100% in their own skin.

How did not wearing any makeup make you feel?

To my surprise I actually loved this no makeup photoshop. It was so freeing to be naturally myself in front of a camera for the first time.

Thinking about it, what did your session mean to you?

To me this session meant acceptance. Learning to accept the things that I’ve once seen as flaws and learning to love things I used to hide.

What are your thoughts or how do you feel about Project Beauty?

Project beauty was very special for me. I encourage everyone at some point to to do something out of their comfort zone. This shoot reminded me the importance of self love.

Testimonial. Could you share your testimony?

I challenge everyone to embrace who they are naturally. Like I said there is nothing more beautiful than someone who loves who they are, has confidence and loves their flaws.

In her own words

True Beauty- is something that people don’t realize they already have!

How did not wearing any makeup make you feel?

Not wearing makeup made me very self-conscious because I have always been in an environment that girls or guys look weird without makeup. To me makeup is like a shield to guard from not only judgement but from my own self criticism.

Thinking about it, what did your session mean to you?

This session meant a lot to me because it showed me that I’m not that ugly girl anymore but I’m a beautiful girl who should give less crap about what she looks like. As long as I know deep down I’m beautiful I feel like everything is going to be alright.

What are your thoughts or how do you feel about Project Beauty?

Project beauty is an amazing thing to me.  Not only does it show the model that they are truly beautiful it shows to other girls to get out of their comfort zones and show everyone no matter what they wear or look like they are the true definition of beauty.

Has this experience changed how you see yourself?

This experience greatly changed the way I see myself. I am no longer scared to run outside without makeup. If I ever have doubts, I think of the photos I took and remind myself that I am truly beautiful no matter who else says differently.

Testimonial. Could you share your testimony?

I feel like I could share my testimonial to other  girls and guys since I know I’m not the only person who has felt this way before. And if I ever got the chance again to share my story, I would hope that it would truly change the way they feel about themselves because in my eyes they are beautiful.

I found having a shoot with no makeup to be lots of fun. I feel confident in my skin and personally loved not having to do my makeup!

In her own words

True Beauty- True beauty goes deeper than one’s looks, it’s how she portrays her character and confidence.

How did not wearing any makeup make you feel?

Truthfully I’m not much into wearing makeup a lot, but it was very different not wearing it in front of the camera. It took a lot of courage from me but I loved it!

Thinking about it, what did your session mean to you?

This session meant more to me than I expected. Growing up, I faced comments that made me very insecure about my body type; there was a point where I felt bad about even wearing a tank top and shorts. I thank Jim and this project because it has shown me there’s much more to me than what they said, that I’m more than what meets the eye!

What are your thoughts or how do you feel about Project Beauty?

I believe every girl should have this opportunity. It’s a project that targets what every single girl is dealing with no matter who they are.

Has this experience changed how you see yourself?

As stated before, this project has changed my perspective of myself. I feel as if I can look past the looks of everyone, especially myself, and focus on mine and their character and confidence. Which is what makes a person who they are.

In her own words

True Beauty- In my eyes, true beauty comes from the inside. Proverbs 31:30 says, “Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;” and I feel that no matter what you look like, kindness, love and compassion are beautiful. In young girls minds, “beauty” is defined in how many likes you have on your Instagram picture, or by who stays up with all the latest fashion and trends but I can tell you that trying to fit in with world is stressful and causes you to loose your unique self. Love who God made you be because there is only one you!

How did not wearing any makeup make you feel?

Not wearing makeup made me feel refreshed and myself! Personally, I prefer no makeup because;

1. In the mornings you get some extra
2. It’s a way to let people see the true me!

Thinking about it, what did your session mean to you?

To me, my session was about speaking up for those without a voice. The modern day and age puts so much pure pressure on women to be the perfect face, perfect body, and lead to a perfect life but they forget to mention to be confident in who you are beacause you are beautiful!

What are your thoughts or how do you feel about Project Beauty?

I love what Project Beauty is all about and how they’re not afraid to take a stand against society.

Has this experience changed how you see yourself?

This experience has raised my confidence in the girl God made me to be!

Testimonial. Could you share your testimonial?

I want to encourage others to get to know the person behind the face. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but kindness is recognized by everyone. Whether someone likes what they see on the outside of me or not, I want them to look past my outward appearance and hopefully see a heart that is kind and truly cares about people. This is how I try to “see” those around me as well!
