Self Love Beauty spend a day in March with many amazing women in the Detroit, MI area. They were so much fun to get to know and braved the cold weather we ended up having that day! 

The women in this shoot picked clothing to wear from the Beautiful Me campaign that expressed who they are.

How does the shirt you decided to wear for this photo shoot express who you are?

“Being strong is more important than external features that we tend to associate as “beautiful.” ” – Lauren Valice, 19, wearing our ‘Strong is the New Beautiful’ shirt 

“I constantly doubt myself and when I do I end up failing. When I stop doubting myself I typically succeed.” – Maya Milton, 19 wearing our “She believed she could so she did” shirt

“I love that saying! Believing in yourself is so important to accomplish anything!”  – Sandy,  48, wearing our “She believed she could so she did” shirt

“Because it is an empowering message for girls” – Amanda Larsen, 19, wearing our I AM strong, focused, intelligent, motivated OH AND Beautiful! shirt

“It expresses who I am because I didn’t always believe in myself.   I missed many great opportunities because I doubted myself and my abilities.  When you start to believe in yourself, you realize that you can do anything.” – Romina Ramirez, 24, wearing our “She believed she could so she did” shirt

“Its not about what you look like, its your dedication, passion, care and strength. You must be kind , happy, and strong to be successful in your own life and if that isn’t beautiful what is?” – Alexia Thacker, 18, wearing our ‘Strong is the New Beautiful’ shirt 

“I have always believed that being called strong is a much more powerful compliment than being called beautiful.  I find it important to look past the outer beauty of a person and into their inner strength.” – Sam Welsing, 19, wearing our ‘Strong is the New Beautiful’ shirt 

“The shirt expresses me because I am mentally and physically strong, I am focused because when I say that I’m going to do something I make sure it gets done, I am a very smart person, too of all of my classes, motivation is key in my eyes, and I think that I am a beautiful person on the outside and on the inside.” – Riley Stoppa, 12, wearing our I AM strong, focused, intelligent, motivated OH AND Beautiful! shirt

“Because I can do anything I put my mind to” – Hailey Geladin, 13, wearing our “She believed she could so she did” shirt

“Because I feel that my strength inside and out makes me a girl who is worthy in this world.” – Mariah Saldana, 9, wearing our “She is clothed in strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future.” shirt 

“Because when you believe you are strong your beauty shines through.” -Layla Grace Hinds, 9, wearing our ‘Strong is the New Beautiful’ shirt 

“I chose that shirt because when I read about different people whether they have a disability or a big dream they never give up. That inspires me to believe in myself and accomplish my goals.” – Caroline Presley Hinds, 12, wearing our “She believed she could so she did” shirt

“Because I focus on what I do” – Trinity Anthony, 10, wearing our I AM strong, focused, intelligent, motivated OH AND Beautiful! shirt
