I absolutely love when my craft goes beyond me and makes someone smile, makes them feel inspired, and helps remind a woman that she is stunning simply because she is herself.

Photographing the lovely Van felt like it was an afternoon spent with a beautiful friend who absolutely rocked that inner model. Van is not only one of the nicest, most down-to-earth women around, but she's also a wife, the proud mother of 2, and a driven and passionate entrepreneur, serving as founder of Tempo Bicycles.

I'm so excited to share a sneak peak into Van's photo session below - there are definitely more lovely images to come, so stay tuned!

Many thanks to Kat Tinney for the styling of Van's hair and makeup!
