When I decided to do this shoot I was feeling really down about my work.  I was in a place of not being inspired and I just needed something to get me going.  I thought “ENOUGH”….do something!  And then I thought about the  the movie Enough with Jennifer Lopez.  What I love about that movie is that she is knocked down and knocked down and yet she rises and stands strong and I wanted to do a shoot that captured that strength.

So when discussing with Jennifer ideas for her session it was told to me that she had been kicked down so many times by her ex-husband and she finally had enough and left him and since has had to pick up the pieces of her life.  So I pitched her this idea that I had and it fit perfectly.  I am so happy with the way everything came together.

When we arrived to the location, I dumped out a few water bottles of water into the dirt and used the mud to dirty up the outfit and her skin.  I then just rubbed some crazy makeup on her face and said “let’s do this thing” and so we did it.

You don’t need a makeup artist to always create the vision you want…instead just go to town yourself!
