“"The pictures are unreal. You totally get the feeling of the photos ; they are beautiful in their own right. All my insecurities about my appearance fade away because I can see what you've captured. Instead of a 'perfect selfie' taken 20 times to look my ‘best’, I actually look my best because I'm with my loved ones. What you've captured is so much more than a 'perfect’ appearance.“
