These photos are gorgeous! I am so glad you took them and that you are able to see how wonderful they are. Such a great topic that I can definitely relate to.

Beautiful pictures. I like all three, but there's something about the one with you holding the closed book, looking as if you just received a special memory.

You look beautiful, Robin! I so relate to what you've said here. Last fall, I finally hired a local photographer to take professional family photos and I nearly had a panic attack before arriving to our shoot. I've also gained weight, but I know that I've also gained, as you've said here, wisdom, strength, patience, and compassion. Cheers to you (and me) for taking up some fucking space!

I've got you beat--I think my photo is a dozen years old. But you've inspired me. These photos are wonderful and you look fantastic!

Nothing makes a Monday like some pictures of my friend, and you, friend, made that happen. Nicely done.

I totally get it, Robin. Just know that those pics look terrific. I agree with your friend--this is who you are now, and who you are now has so much more knowledge, experience, and, I assume, confidence.
