Anti- Bullying Awareness
Bullying is the most common form of violence in schools... over 43,000 teens between the ages of 15-18 have surveyed as either being bullied or being the bully themselves...these numbers have gone up in that past few years...Facebook and Twitter has made it easier to hide behind a computer and cyber bully. Not realizing how much damage a few typed words can do to another... These are just statistics... There are children even younger.. starting out in elementary school who are bullied and continued to be bullied throughout their whole schooling experience. Sadly some of these children have had enough, and were either too scared to reach out or nobody cared enough to help... and took their own lives before their life really even started... This is soo many ways is wrong...
Our children are like sponges.. they watch us as their role models, repeating and acting just as we do. We as their parents, need to set an example. We are building our future in them. Talk to your children about bullying, seek help if they are getting bullied and don't just brush it to the side as part of a "much needed toughing up" Your child need's you more then ever.
And Parents if your child is a bully.. explain to them the harm that they are causing... I'm not saying its your fault but look around you and see where exactly they are learning these actions... is it the type of tv program they are watching?? violent video games?? is your home life stable and are you teaching them good values??...Bullying can be prevented if we do our part. Even if your child is neither a bully or a victim to bullying.. talk to them about it, because even they can help report bullying and maybe just save a life.
Natalie was a victim of bullying growing up. Made to feel ugly and fat. As you can see she is a confident, beautiful model and we both thought it was important to show others the pain that bullying causes. There is no reason why any child should have to go through school, a place to learn and build the foundation of their futures, scared and feeling unwanted or unloved...
"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, by define yourself"-Harvey S. Firestone
"Always be a first-rate version on yourself, instead of a second- rate version of somebody else."
-Judy Garland
"Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke"
" They can inspire, motivate, and bring joy. They can also tear down, destroy and even kill. Words hurt. Things you say can become identifiers to someone and change how they see themselves. Think before you speak. As someone who has personally been the victim of bullying, I know how much words can ruin you." -Natalie Evon
"To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day; is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform" - Theodore H. White
"Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine" -Ralph Waldo Emerson
"You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still like air, I'll rise." -unknown
"Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact." -William James

Let Go... and Set Yourself Free... Boho
I wanted to share my new photography inspiration.. A genre that I'd like to explore and promote. Bohemian-- its a mesh of free spirit, getting in touch with yourself and nature, expressing your Yoo-Neek style, standing out and becoming an individual. Its about making a statement, changing the world and speaking out on what you believe in.
Already Boho-Chic is reaching a height in the fashion world, making its way over from the west coast/central US. Like any fashion trend, boho comes in and out of a fashion, drawing on various bohemian and hippie influences. Boho-Chic first originated with pre-Raphaelite women of the mid-to-late 19th century, then made its appearance in the United States in the 1960's as part of the "hippie, free spirited movement"
Boho Today allows you to step out of the box and express your individuality! Breaking the "fashion laws" by mixing colors, patterns, layers and textures. Anything ranging from a simple cotton peasant top, to long colorful dresses, maxi skirts, and boots, crocheted backs, feathers, and dream catcher necklaces.
Boho Today is not just a fun, fashion style thou... Its a life style (not related to the 1960's of course ) Try it out...Get in tune with nature, Explore your individuality.. your own being...Let go and set yourself free.
I have the pleasure of doing different genres, awareness' with a professional model, Natalie Evon. Natalie is an inspirational woman, laid back, and free to be different. She speaks with her body language to portray a message that we both want to share with the world... Together We have plans to slowly impact the world.
"Dance like no one is watching.." We've all heard this quote somewhere... But have you tried it?? Natalie and I ran across the street to a road side field, and started snapping pictures... capturing the warm glow of the sun through the trees, feeling the tall grass tickling our legs (more like scratching :) .. BE BOLD... and most importantly, BE YOURSELF!!! Without a care in the world, Natalie loosened up the knot of her scarf and started twirling around in the field.. cars passing by.. who cares... Freedom to be your silly self allows you to feel like you can conquer the world.. or at least the field next door :)
When light like this catches your eye, capture it! Golden sun passing through the trees, causing the illusion of leaves on fire.. its an absolutely breath taking shot. God has quite the artist hand... so appreciate nature's natural beauty! And with perfect lighting...it definitely helps when you have a gorgeous model to work the light, and shine the rays off her hair! This girl is fierce.. she's on fire!
Stop.. Sit, Listen and Admire the Beauty of the World.. Life is beautiful if you let it. God has proven that day in and day out from the beginning of time. Plush green grass, painted skies at sunset, Trees overflowing with flowers, sparkling waters as the light hits it perfectly. Critters big and small, unique in their own way, all with a purpose... We all have a purpose in life.. We can make a difference if we try.. just need to Stop, Sit and Listen to what nature, and our hearts are telling us. Life is about taking risks... and making a difference!
And lastly... Make a wish.. and You make it come true...Wishes wont come true by themselves.. as much as we "wish" crossing our fingers and breathing a quick request as a star falls actually works... Only You can make your wish.. your dreams come true. Ask yourself what inspires you, what are you passionate about??? Take a leap of faith and follow your heart... Because really.. that's all we can do!
