SLP 414: Bringing Out The Beauty In All Women with Jaya McIntyre

‘I’m just always looking to bring out the beauty that they don’t see in themselves. So, obviously when it’s individual women that’s what I’m looking for and maybe showing themselves a side of themselves that they didn’t see before. I’m all for encouraging people to step outside their comfort zone. I think when you step outside your comfort zone you spark a little bit of something that fuels your soul a little bit more.’ ~ Jaya McIntyre

This is such a beautiful interview with a very special woman who shares her story so openly and explains why photography is such a special part of her world and her vocation. Jaya shares her breast cancer story and captures our hearts by telling us all to take more photos. She is such an advocate of this she is offering a FREE photo shoot valued at $299. Yes you read that right.

Her definition of Self Love is: Self-love is layered for me. I think it is more about self-care, and the ultimate act of self-love is putting myself first and foremost. Making sure you’ve got your mental health, your physical health and you’ve got your boundaries set. It is truly allowing yourself to take a bath, read a book, doing things that lift your spirit.

Her favourite quote is: ‘This too shall pass.’

Quotes: Photography is a really crowded space but I needed to stand out as a professional. I wanted to help people be good at their craft and for women to be kind to themselves. I think there is absolutely a reason for why everything happens. The lesson for me was to slow down, not be so fast-paced and be more present. I had to pay the ultimate price to slow down. I put myself first, take care of my mindset, get my exercise done and set up the right nutrition for the day. As women, we are the nurturers and the givers, and a lot of women over-give in every area of their life. You never give yourself credit for the skills you do have. I have learned so much from so many of my clients. A pre-shoot helps people realise it is not a scary place to be. It is nice to have a portrait done at some point in your life. I do encourage people to step outside of their comfort zone. When you look at yourself in the mirror you are looking at a reverse image. When you see a photo of yourself you are actually looking at a true image. There’s a million reasons why people don’t like having their photo taken. We do not take enough photos in life. Quite often photos get trapped in a phone and never get seen. Maybe we should be taking photos that are a little more connected. As soon as you see a photo it takes you back to that moment instantly. You will realise it all happened for a reason.
