beauty night society | makeovers & portraits | jennifer picard photography

a while back i volunteered for the beauty night society {https://www.facebook.com/BeautyNightSociety}

and was fortunate enough to take photographs of the women who received a night of pampering and makeovers.

 it was such a rewarding experience meeting all the of lovely ladies, hearing their stories, seeing them smile & best of all, feel great about themselves.

the best part was giving each of them photos from their session & seeing their faces light up.

for some of them it was the first time they had really ever “seen” themselves in that way.

beauty night society, founded by the amazing caroline macgillivray, is an award winning charity that builds

self-esteem and changes lives for women living in poverty. the program focuses on wellness, life skills development & makeovers.

 {life skills + makeovers + wellness = life-makeovers}

beauty night society has been on-going for 12+ years and has given over 26,000 makeovers, thanks to the help of over 500 volunteers. wow!

jana & her ukulele | sunshine coast, bc | jennifer picard photography

everything that jana touches turns to magic.

she is one of the loveliest and most talented humans i’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.

her voice is like a small slice of heaven – dreamy, whimsical and so soothing. { watch out world }

while visiting with her here on the sunshine coast, we were able to squeeze in a couple of photo sessions.

{here are some images from our time together}

the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shore line,

no matter how many times it is sent away”
