Sometimes, you just need to treat yourself like the queen you are—and that’s exactly what Trinity did with her 24K gold birthday photoshoot here in Raleigh! ✨ Originally from Baltimore, Trinity moved to North Carolina to be closer to her grandmother, who raised her, and has been here for nearly two years. A dancer since the age of five, she’s now pursuing her passion for dancing with hopes of becoming an instructor and one day opening her own studio. How amazing is that?
What really touched me about this shoot wasn’t just the gold tones and glam—it was the story behind it. Trinity initially planned a 24K gold birthday party but decided to pivot when the idea of hosting a big event didn’t feel right. She mentioned feeling okay with not celebrating this year because she didn’t have many friends nearby anyway. But then, she had a brilliant realization: Why not celebrate herself, for herself?
When Trinity reached out a little over a week before her birthday, I knew we’d need to move fast to create something special and deliver her photos by her big day. I was honored she reached out to me. I wanted to make this birthday special for her. The result? Pure magic. From her glowing confidence to the flawless makeup by @won_flawlessbeats, every detail came together perfectly.
Why celebrating yourself matters
Trinity’s story is a reminder that you don’t need a crowd to celebrate your milestones. It’s okay if life looks a little different than you imagined—celebrate anyway. Whether it’s your birthday, a personal achievement, or just a moment where you’re feeling yourself, capturing these moments is an investment in YOU. You’ll look back at these photos and remember exactly how you felt: bold, beautiful, and unapologetically golden.
To anyone on the fence about celebrating
If you’ve been debating whether to celebrate yourself, let this be your sign to go for it. You don’t need a big group or a perfect reason. You’re worth it, just as you are. Whether you’re turning 24, 50, or simply want to document your glow-up, a photoshoot is a perfect way to honor who you are right now.
