Women shining light on other women is a cornerstone of our business, so we were honored when @emilycummingsphotographer asked us to be a part of the Luminous Project! Her goal was to photograph 50 women from various industries & stages of life, showcasing that strength and beauty comes in all forms. She stressed that the point wasn’t perfection, but rather a celebration of exactly where you are in this moment and everything it took to get here. From the photo shoot to the showcase gala, we were thrilled to be amongst these fabulous women. “Your Light Doesn’t Diminish Mine; Together We Burn Brighter” ✨
