In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to lose sight of our own confidence amidst the chaos of daily life. But Terri's incredible journey serves as a beacon of inspiration, reminding us to prioritize our self-assurance. She radiates confidence and vitality, showing us that embracing our age can be empowering. As I sat down with Terri to hear her story, her words echoed with resilience and self-assurance, urging us all to reclaim our confidence and make a difference in our own lives. Moreover, her experience with the empowering photoshoot at depiction portraits by Diana highlights the transformative power of self-expression and self-discovery.
Living Her Passion: Making a Difference in Cancer Research
In a candid conversation with Terri, a 54-year-old cancer research professional, she shares her experiences and perspectives on life in her 50s. Terri expresses contentment with her career, emphasizing the fulfillment she finds in making a meaningful impact in cancer research. With a heart full of compassion and determination, she's making a real difference in the world.
“I'm happy with my career. I work in cancer research, and I feel like I'm making a difference in the world with that.”- Terri
Turning Challenges into Triumphs
When asked about her decision to participate in a photoshoot campaign, Terri reveals a pivotal moment in her life. Life hasn't always been a smooth ride for Terri. From dealing with a tough marriage to overcoming personal obstacles, she's faced her fair share of challenges. But guess what? She's come out stronger and more resilient than ever, ready to take on whatever life throws her way. The decision to participate in a campaign celebrating older women symbolizes her embrace of change and empowerment.
“At the time I saw the campaign, I was getting ready to get out of a toxic marriage with someone with substance abuse. And at that time, I didn't feel like I had the money or the resources to do it, but I was intrigued with the idea and felt like it would be empowering to be a part of it. I liked the idea of celebrating people who are older and have had to go through life situations already and come out of that and show the strength of older women. And so, about a year later, I saw the ad again and decided to go for it.”- Terri
Getting Camera-Ready: A Fun Adventure in Self-Discovery
When the opportunity arose to be part of a campaign celebrating women like herself, Terri was intrigued. Sure, she had some doubts about her outfits and poses, but she embraced the challenge with gusto. Terri not only felt prepared but was pleasantly surprised by the previewed poses on the camera, affirming her satisfaction with the experience. And let me tell you, she absolutely rocked it!
“I did feel prepared. I wondered if I had the right kind of outfits, only because I'm a very casually dressed person normally, and I don't have a lot of dresses and things, but I looked at my closet and I looked online and I came up with things. And then I felt good about them. I felt good about how they looked before I came. And then during the shoot, I felt really good about how it went and how I looked. And when you showed me the poses on the camera, I was really surprised at how much I liked what I saw just from those previews.” - Terri
A Reminder of Strength and Empowerment
As for the purpose of the photos, Terri envisions displaying them at home, serving as a personal reminder of strength and empowerment during moments of self-doubt. The images from the campaign are poised to be a source of inspiration and reflection for Terri, encapsulating the essence of a transformative day.
“I would like to display some at my house. I would like to have something around as a reminder to myself of on those days when I'm not feeling confident or empowered. I'm hoping that they'll be a reminder to me of this day and just of being a part of this campaign.” -Terri
