From Erika: “I’d like this shoot to be a tribute to my mother and the new season I’m entering in my life. I’m about to turn 30 and I feel more like my mother then ever. I am proud of the woman I am becoming and the character that my mother instilled in me and left with me forever… I’d like to look back on these photos years from now, show my own daughter and tell her about the hard days I faced then, but the beautiful lessons I learned, and the woman I was becoming. I’d like her to see a woman who loves life, loves to laugh, who encompasses strength, faith and perseverance.” || Denice Lachapelle Photography, South Florida Boudoir & Portrait Photographer

When a woman allows me to take their portrait, as she is, I feel an immense responsibility to capture her not only as I see her, but also capture her essence. As I write this, I think, her essence may very well be something that has not yet been discovered to her own self.
