Embracing Confidence at 47: A Glimpse into DeLaura’s Empowering Experience
In a world where societal roles often define us, DeLaura White, at the age of 47, took a bold step towards self-discovery. In a candid conversation about her recent empowering photoshoot experience with Depiction Portraits by Diana at Smithsburg Studio, she shares insights into her journey, challenges, and the transformative impact it had on her perspective.
Breaking the Chains of Expectations
Delaura begins by reflecting on her age and the unique vantage point it offers. At 47, she finds herself embracing the wisdom that comes with time, highlighting the empowering nature of her 40s. In a society where women often play various roles, she emphasizes the importance of not losing sight of one's individual power.
“I'm 47. Just a few years, I guess, away from 50. I actually kind of like this age. I feel better in my 40s than I did in my thirties. Maybe it's because of knowledge. Like, I can get through whatever, right? So in your 20s, everything seemed horrible when it wasn't that bad. But I guess if you live long enough, you can get through anything. So, I like this age, pretty much. What intrigued me with the campaign was we spend a lot of time being other people's people. We're mothers and wives and employees, and we forget that we should take care of ourselves and that we have power in our own selves and that women are pretty powerful if we let ourselves be that.” – Delaura White
Feeling Nervous Before the Photoshoot
Delaura's journey towards self-discovery had its unsure moments. She admits to being nervous before the session, unsure about what to expect. Despite the anxiety, the experience turned out better than she anticipated.
“I wasn't sure what to feel. Like I knew what to expect. You gave a good example of what to do, so I knew what to expect. I wasn't sure how I'd feel. It does take a minute for me to become more confident, but I did feel much better during the session. Like, before I came, I was super nervous. I even think I technically said, oh, my God, I'm nervous. But I didn't feel as nervous as I thought I would once we started.” - DeLaura
Capturing Strength and Independence: The Purpose Behind the Photos
Delaura's reflection on the purpose of the photos unveils a desire for confidence and strength. She envisions using the images as a source of empowerment, possibly sharing them with loved ones. In her words, "I just want to look at them and feel powerful, I guess, and stronger."
Feeling Good: Emotions Behind the Photos
When asked about what emotions she hopes to feel when looking at her photos, Delaura keeps it simple. She wants to feel strong, independent, and, in her words, "a little pretty." This highlights the emotional depth of the experience, touching on both inner strength and a sense of personal beauty.
Conclusion: Embracing Your Power
As we wrap up DeLaura's empowering journey through her photoshoot with Depiction Portraits by Diana, let's take a moment to reflect on something she shared. She pointed out how we often spend a lot of time being what others expect us to be—mothers, wives, employees. But in doing so, we forget about taking care of ourselves and recognizing the power we have within.
DeLaura's words are a reminder that, as women, we hold a unique and strong force within us. This photoshoot isn't just about pictures; it's a way of saying, "Hey, I'm here, and I'm powerful just as I am."
