Calgary Mom Who Wants Photos Just for Her

When I capture a dancing series like this, it looks best in sets of 3 or more. This is presented in a beautiful Larson Juhl frame, available through my studio.

Calgary Blog Series Featuring Women 35+: 30 Days of Gorgeous

Tell me your story.

I was born and raised in Calgary.

Growing up I had few friends, and it wasn’t until high school that I felt I had friends that really understood me (and we are all friends still today!).

I was able to figure out more about who I am and be ok with the fact that I didn’t always quite fit in- because I met people who helped me feel like I did fit in at least sometimes.

I’m a Libra and my friend tells me my astrological chart is the most libra chart she’s ever seen- which I can believe!

I always try to look at all sides to understand different views and I hate arguments.

Family is huge for me and most of my focus is on my kids and my husband, so I don’t always think of doing things for me.

Although as a mom with young kids I think many others are in the same position- doing things for ourselves is definitely a rare luxury I think.

At Laurie MacBrown Photography, we use state-of-the-art software to design your wall art.

Why do you want to participate in the 30 Days of Gorgeous?

I’ve seen the photos from last year- they are stunning!

I would love one like that of me.

Also, often get family photos done, but not of just me (always a focus on the kids!).

I’d love one of just me.

I’m also curious to see how I might look in a glamour photo!

I can’t seem to picture me as anything other than plain old me.

What does being a woman of your age mean to you?

I feel often that I am stuck in a limbo where I still feel young but am quickly approaching 40!

I am so much wiser than I was in my 20s, and am much more aware of the passage of time.

Being a woman in my 30s means to me that I have reached an age where I can (hopefully) make better decisions than in my 20s but my body can keep up with activity better than it will in my 40s (although hopefully this won’t be true!)

What is the number one piece of advice you'd tell your younger self?

I really wish I could tell my younger self to invest more!

But for life advice, I would say to not listen to the judgments of others and do what I want.

I feel like I didn’t do some things I wanted because of critical (unnecessary) feedback when I was young.

What makes you feel beautiful?

Very cliche, but when my kids or husband tell me I’m beautiful or that they love me, I feel like a million dollars.

When designing your wall art, I can use photos of your own walls. There are hundreds of frames to choose from and almost any custom size is possible.
