Poised With Purpose

Meet Erica Grider... mother of two active sons, a business woman, an entrepreneur, a true go-getter, and a professed woman of God. Erica has a lot going on in her busy life, and is constantly on the go, but she holds it all together with prayer, faith, consistency, and by keeping both feet on the ground.  

Erica approached the TEAM recently about getting some new images done and doing a refresh on her personal brand. She is very passionate about consistency and setting the tone for all of her business dealings. Since she does a lot speaking engagements and is the host of local networking events, she plans to stay on top of a fresh and up-to-date presentation at all times. Having regular head shot sessions are a must if you are a serious professional looking to take your business to the next level. A powerful brand identity is built on the impression that you make and the reputation you create, so therefore your image and presentation mean everything.

The Sexy at ANY Age Photo Shoot!

In celebration of Women's History Month, the TEAM recently hosted a photo session to spotlight some beautiful ladies representing several age groups: Asia and Kristin (20-somethings), Angelyse (30-something) and Nicole (40-something). These ladies are not only alluring and attractive, but they are clearly comfortable in their own skin and they exude an energy that is completely undeniable, while STILL fully clothed. These wives, mothers, business women and leaders radiate with an abundance of sex appeal all wrapped up in class and effervescence found only in mature womanhood. 




Merriam Webster says to be sexy is to be "appealing, attractive, or exciting"; but I say that sex appeal is so much more than just how you look. Sex appeal is a state of mind AND a behavior. It is confidence. It is authenticity. It is a great sense of humor. It is an infectious smile. It is lightheartedness and it is peace (YES, to have all of these qualities AND peace is VERY sexy!). Now, I am not saying that looks do not count in the equation, but what I am saying is that you can be pretty or handsome, and still not have the fire that makes you a sexy beast. 

I asked our ladies to share what it meant to them to be sexy. Their poignant responses are below.

 
 "Spotlight on the 20-Somethings"
KRISTIN & ASIA
 

 "Sexy is being confident, classy and ambitious. A woman who puts value in her appearance and herself is sexy. Sexiness can be seen in a purposeful walk, a driven spirit and a caring attitude." 



 
 "Spotlight on the 30-Something"
ANGELYSE (ANGEL)


 "Sexiness is having the confidence to be comfortable in your own skin. The idea that women are beautiful in their own right, regardless of nationality, age, size or skin tone. Sexiness is loving yourself without regard to the opinions of society or others. Sexiness is owning YOU."




  "Spotlight on the 40-Something"
NICOLE
 

 "Being sexy to me means having a certain charisma and aura about yourself, that's attractive to others that surround you. Sexy is also a way you may feel on the inside that shines through to your exterior...the way you talk, walk and carry yourself. Sexy can be exhibited in many forms: exotic, sexual or just simply beautiful, and in our case, Simply Sexy!"


  


"The Sexy-Somethings"

 


This was yet again another amazing photo shoot! We had so much fun spending the day with these ladies enjoying fellowship, and I am certain this is not the last time you will see of them. These dynamic, vivacious and determined women prove without a shadow of doubt that sex appeal does not end after you reach a certain age.  Remember, you can be sexy at ANY age if you have the right attitude, a kind and loving heart and you prove to be sincere and authentic in all that you do.
