This is such a valid question for most of us, if not all. It makes us feel somehow that it would be rather selfish or self centered to do this for ourselves. Like we don’t deserve to spend that time and effort on ourselves. But let me say this, you ARE deserving of this experience. To have a day, just for yourself, to feel beautiful, to let down your guard, to see yourself as the rest of the world sees you. We are so self critical that all we do is down ourselves day in and day out. We don’t love that person in the mirror, all we can see is that extra 10 pounds, or those new gray hairs and wrinkles. That should NOT be a reason to not have your portrait made. It is ok to have that beautiful print on your walls, for your children and grandchildren to admire. Go ahead, be brave and do it, I guarantee you won’t be sorry that you did.
