SEE
YOUR
SELF
in a new
way
I’ve always loved photography but
somewhere along the way, through my own
journey to self-love, I realized that my
purpose in photography is to help other
women love themselves too. As women, we
can be so down on ourselves and when we
look at photos of ourselves, many times, we
immediately point out to our flaws.
At Gianna Snell Photography, we provide
an amazing luxury experience, beginning
with a planning consultation,
complimentary professional makeup,
optional wardrobe styling, flattering poses
and all the “yes, Queens!!!!!” you could
hear in one day!
Women leave our sessions feeling
confident in their skin and it makes my
heart smile knowing that we’ve helped so
many women love themselves
unconditionally because they’ve finally been
able to see for themselves just how fierce,
sexy, beautiful and confident they are.
We specialize in headshots and women’s
glamour and we would love to do a custom
session with YOU, Queen!! To begin
planning your dream session, visit my

Erin’s Picks: Spring List
Garden Party Elegance:
Immerse yourself in the sophistication of a simple yet chic
garden party. Reflecting on my childhood, I recall the
enchanting garden my grandmother cultivated. We would
spend afternoons on the porch sipping sun-brewed iced tea
and enjoying sandwiches. As I grew older, garden gatherings
evolved into events featuring decadent desserts, stylish
dresses, charming lantern lights, and breathtaking views.
Whether attending or hosting, find a garden party this spring
and relish in the experience!
Hydrotherapy Soaks:
Take a dip into the world of hydrotherapy soaks. The beauty
of these soaks lies in the fact that the outside temperature
isn't too hot, allowing you to revel in the tranquility of the
moment. Experience the rejuvenation as your body soaks in
the minerals, creating a serene and revitalizing escape.
Welcome to the fifth edition of Live Affirmed Magazine!
I am thrilled to introduce a fresh start as our new team embraces this season with
enthusiasm and a groundbreaking perspective. Spring signifies a time of rejuvenation
and renewal in the world around us. Flower buds blossom into vibrant flowers, and
the sun radiates with a renewed brightness, accompanied by the fresh aroma of
floral scents in the air.
In this edition, dedicated to Women’s History Month, I invite you to delve into your
own journey as a woman. Reflect on the lessons you've learned, embrace your
strengths, scars, and beauty.
As women, we wear many hats, often forgetting that the most important one is
simply "being." Regardless of who you are and where you are, there is beauty in the
essence of your being. Beyond the remarkable things we can do, there's beauty in
the WHO of who you are.
I take immense pride in serving our community alongside incredible women who
authentically embody themselves. Let's remember that we are the gift wherever we
go. As the world awakens from its winter slumber, it beckons us to own every aspect
of our story, empowering us to show up in this world authentically, with hearts that
are pure.
If you're seeking guidance on embracing the woman in the mirror, explore page 76.
For the latest in fashion and beauty trends, head over to pages 52-57. And for our
tribute to Mother's Day, venture over to page 34-36.
Never forget,
Matthew 5:14 TLB - "You are the world’s light—a city on a hill, glowing in the
night for all to see."

As the essence of spring fills the air and the anticipation of warmth, social
gatherings, and all the joys associated with the season takes center stage, I'm
delighted to share my top selections with you.
Floral Accents:
Embrace the current floral trend with a twist—opt for floral
applique outfits that accentuate your silhouette. Wear them
to brunch or special events, and be the belle of the ball with
this fashionable choice.

I am worthy of
real love.
I deserve the best.
I love me.
I celebrate me.
It's been my experience that when
we cultivate strong bonds with other
women, our lives become richer and
more fulfilling. Through the guidance
of mentors, the support of close friends
and family, and the wisdom gained from
acquaintances, I've been blessed to know
countless incredible women who inspire
me in various ways.
Their encouragement and inspiration
have provided me with the strength to
navigate the world with confidence and
authenticity, supporting both my personal
and professional endeavors.
As I've grown older, I've come to
understand
the
importance
of
intentionally nurturing these connections
with women who share our values and
aspirations. It's through these deep and
meaningful sisterhoods that my life has
truly blossomed and expanded for the
better, and I encourage you to seek out
those who uplift and empower you on
your own journey.
