Going Out (of 2022) with a Bang! - Los Angeles Transformational Beauty Photographer

Going-Out-(of-2022)-with-a-Bang---Copyright-Jean-Huang-Photography

Drama, loss, sorrow…

Some of us have had more share of those in our life-time…

Some have had more in the last few years…

As yet another year-end draws close, I’m glad that I stayed true to what I set my mind on at the end of last year:

In the coming year, I resort to continue to honor the true beauty
and present fine art
from the day-to-day, the not-so-famous, and the “normal”...

We all are not having more time on this planet.

As if the universe heard me, I’ve had the honor of meeting/working with many inspiring mature ladies that have incredible stories to tell and experiences to share.

”Life won’t wait”, said yours truly more than 20 years ago.

Today, she says:

Life’s too short
to not be yourself at all;
to not be crazy at least once;
and to not be weird all the time! :D

Speaking of weird, I don’t know what goes on my clients’ mind every time I pull out this gear (the one in my hand in the image above).

For those that’s interested, feel free to look up “beauty dish”. To me, if it reflects, comes in the dome shape and produces beauty (images), it’s a beauty dish. And mine is one-of-a-kind. It’s got the traces of being banged around in the kitchen and carries the patina of seeing through all those yummy food over the years.

I really don’t blame my clients for associating it with the word “kitchen”. It’s truly got an origin that belongs there. But it’s also good at, once in a while, doing something that’s beyond the normal call of duty. It just feels so organic (I think my client Linda knows how it feels :-)) when I’m being true to my origin (being Asian) and honors all my passions (besides “transforming women” :-), I love food and creative cooking).

For those of you that know me, I’m not a New Year’s Resolution kind of person. I follow my guiding poles and wander accordingly.

So now, as we count down to 2023…

I wish you being you (i.e., the true beauty)!

As to me? I will continue wearing my hat (uh-huh, lid, Chinese stir-fry wok lid) of weirdness! :-) Julia Child may even consider it drama done right.

Sayonara, 2022…

Bang! Oops… Excuse my “weirdness” hat! :-p

What Would You Tell Her - Los Angeles Transformational Beauty Photographer

"I NEVER, for one moment in my life, believed I was ever going to be called beautiful". Juliana came to my studio and these are the exact words from her. She’s held that belief for more than 6 decades.

I have a feeling that she’s not alone.

Earlier this year, I embarked on a journey of challenging myself to “transform” more mature and wise women. Moreover, I want to keep an open dialogue about what contributes to what we believe of ourselves and what we are capable of in this world/lifetime and how our self-image impacts different aspects of our lives, such as relationship, career, health, etc.

To start off, would you give Juliana your authentic and genuine thought about her in this image? All feedback will be compiled and relayed to her - whether it’s one word or one essay :-) :

A Heart-to-Heart with Yourself - Los Angeles Transformational Beauty Photographer

When was the last time that you had an honest conversation with yourself? That’s right, the kind where there’s no one to provide the “correct” answers to you, and there’s no one to report the result to.

For many that know my story, I “found myself” years ago by asking myself the tough questions in life (not by choice, but I’m glad that it happened). Little beknownst to me at the time that it was the beginning of transformations that some have witnessed in front of their eyes. A series of consequential events later, here I am, having more peace, happiness and sense of fulfillment.

My women clients do it as well in the process of working with me. That’s part of what makes “transformations” in my Transformational Beauty Photography. :-)

Nowadays, I still hold these conversations with myself. As we morph in this world , it helps us find more clarity in who we are and what we care about.

Have you wanted to have more confidence in yourself? Better relationship? More successful career? When was the last time you had a heart-to-heart with yourself?

I’d love to hear your stories.
