meet hillary. a unique personality. grounded and centered. aware. alive. awakened…a gentle spirit. she is all of these things knitted into a beautiful woman who is changing her world simply by being herself. I had the greatest time with her on this shoot. She is just a light to be around {she can also rock out some mean yoga poses}. it was a breath of fresh air just sharing her company. enlightening. reviving. giggle provoking. awe inspiring. i really do wish we could all be more secure in who we are as ourselves. taking time to re-evaluate and (to quote Hillary) “stop comparing (our) insides to other peoples outsides.” The ability to just BE HAPPY is within everyone’s grasp… we just seem to miss it in the bustle of everyday life. what I love about hillary is::she makes a concerted effort to NOT miss it. and that is inspiring to me. its inspiring to me that she is real…not perfect, but genuine and truly happy with that. these photos remind us that its ok to dance in the tall grass or stop and smell the flowers every once in awhile. life will go on and maybe our kitchen floor doesn’t get mopped every week like martha stewart’s, but in the end, is that what we’ll really care about anyway? deep thoughts… i know, i know (its the psychologist in me…forgive).
now go enjoy some photos. 
visit Hillary and show her some love at http://healinghillary.typepad.com/ she’s also teaching yoga at the yoga room in berry hill on sunday nights!!

I love the backbend over the stream, her criss cross apple sauce by the stream, and love colors and composition of the one where she is sitting.
