I am Kenna Klosterman - A Shoot with Sue Bryce

I have always liked you as a host of CL but I was mighty impressed you were not only up for the shoot with Sue but that you then made this post. I have only just seen the post but saw the workshop back in September.

One of the most surprising and inspiring parts of that workshop was seeing how the women reacted upon first seeing the finished images of themselves. It totally changed my viewpoint about what I do. I have since made appointments and actually shown the images without giving an online preview first. It has made a huge difference to the resultant sales and my confidence in what I'm doing.

BTW your images really show you and you really are beautiful.

Your words...beautifully written. Those pictures - right on!

Wow Kenna! I have been watching Sue on the end of the year rewatch and loving ever minute of it, but reading your post makes it all the more fabulous.

You are beautiful to begin with but the way you feel just radiates in every image. I hope someday I get to work with Sue and have a similar experience!

These are absolutely gorgeous! Wow.

Kenna you look amazing. I truly feel that Sue Bryce is a legend in her time. Not just because of the beautiful images she creates, but for who she is and why she does what she does. She is uniquely talented and a beautiful role model. Kenna's photos are so simple yet absolutely stunning.

...and the world is a better place for it. As it is for the team that worked with you to bring this experience to fruition. So delighted for you. Thank you, and much love.

I so enjoyed watching Sue Bryce's workshop and seeing the tryptic of you on her blog. And now I'm seeing even more photos from your shoot with her. I loved reading your article and am inspired to try to get to that same place for my clients, to help them shed their veil and let their beauty shine into the lens and out to the world. Thank you for sharing, Kenna!

Kenna, you made me cry. This is so beautiful and so are you and the images. Thanks for giving an insight into what it is that Sue does for her sitters. It will help me as I formulate my own version of the Sue Bryce phenomenon. My first shoots a la Sue are this weekend and I can't wait. Thanks for that double shot of emotional umph!

Kenna, you ARE a beautiful, powerful, and intelligent woman. So glad you got to have this opportunity! I wish I could have an experience like that, to "let go" of worrying what I look like (because I always think the mirror and the camera lens don't match up, especially with my mind's eye!), and just be ME. So glad that you see YOU in your photos!

You look great - beautiful pictures :)

Kenna, you look amazing. These images shows how you look on the inside.

Kenna you are a beautiful young woman inside and out and the photo truly reveal your soul. I love watching CL and have been blown away by the talent ya'll are bringing freely to the world. I have purchased several classes and have never been happier over a purchase. Keep up the great work, love the curls, you are truly a gorgeous person.

I think Sue Bryce just inspired us big time to look beyond what's there by default to extract "the real you" in our clients. You looked terrific, Kenna, but more so because the physical transformation released the beauty inside.

Kenna, watching CL with you and Susan makes the workshops even more enjoyable. It's crazy how you guys connect with us. Already thought you were a beautiful woman and I envy you for always sporting the curls. Glad you got to have a Sue & Simona experience. So excited for you. Best, Gina

I was blown away by Sue Bryce's photographs of me, but I'm even more blown away by all of your comments! I LOVE you all creativeLIVErs! YOU make me feel beautiful inside & out and whenever I doubt that, I'll head right back over to your comments to boost my confidence! THANK YOU INTERNET!

Like you saw into your soul-gazing mirror, we get to see the real you through these wonderful portraits. I remember you, Kenna since watching LaForet's first workshop. You are the awesome person that you see in Sue's photographs!

The pics are gorgeous. No words.

i love love love love these. love what you wrote. love what you see.
gorgeous goregeous gals all of you

Hello Kenna,

Love the pictures, and had a pleasure of meeting Sue the last 2 days on WPPI Portland. You look beautiful and love your eye expression on your Facebook profile page. I can see what does it mean looking at someone's eyes and seeing their soul, and I can see what Sue meant about smiling with your eyes. Glad my friend told me about Creative live, and so glad for everything I have learned so far.

Happy Friday.
Behin.

Great comments. Wish I could have been in studio for Sue's workshop. Though I am primarily a wedding photographer, I get so much from every CL event that I watch. You all bring in the best teachers and shooters around. With a profession and market that is constantly in flux, more than ever we as photographers need to be plugged in to the latest and greatest that leaders in our profession have to offer.

Thanks CL.

Saw a link on FB. Incredible post and images. I really think that idea of "holding space" is one to delve into further for photographers. It's an incredibly powerful skill.

Kenna, thank you for sharing your experience and photos from your session with Sue. You look stunning all of the time but it's great to know how much you connect to these. :)

I think Sue has inspired me to change the way I shoot, who I shoot, and why I shoot. I want to be able to give people what Sue has given you.

you look magnificent, thank you for sharing your images, Sue is Incredible in what she does, but she needs the Raw material, to do the magic.

I can "see" you and you are beautiful. I love what you've written here Kenna. I know it comes from the deepest place in your heart and soul. i think you've managed to put words to what has been inexplicable and what has been referred to as "magic". not magic at all. You are revealed, truly deeply revealed and you are beautiful. Sue knows that. She knows she can expose every woman because she "knows beautiful".

These are gorgeous!!

Kenna, I've been watching CL for about 2 yrs now and I am already drawn to your personality as a host...these images are perfectly striking a chord in my soul of how absolutely stunning you are inside and out!!! Thank YOU so much for putting your nerves on the line and giving yourself up to the process. You've truly redefined who you are and w/the words of the group MERCY ME - YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL!!!

Powerful blog, beautiful message and amazing photos.. Im in tears!!

You look absolutely incredible, Kenna! I always thought you did so I'm so glad that you see that now! Thank you for sharing Sue's pictures with us. She did an amazing job and I can only imagine what the rest of the images look like. I've loved watching you on CreativeLive and I love that Sue was able to shoot you so we could see the transformation. It's awesome! You look amazing!

Stunning images, and beautiful you Kenna, inside out. Your personality is so very attractive and Sue captured it so beautifully!

truly beautiful. sue has inspired me in so many ways moving forward in my own business. to make a woman feel like her true self - to move deep down within her soul + shine. well it's clear to me you are shining + you my dear are stunning. bravo.

Love your words and your soul. A fan from Florida!

Fantastic images Kenna! So glad it has given you a boost too! Sue did her job well as she always does!

Kenna, these are stunning images. Thank you for sharing the images and what it was like to be photographed by Sue. You are seeing what each of us sees when we watch creativeLIVE.

The photos are awesome! Kenna I've always thought you had something unique, that drew me to you, while watching you on Creative Live. You allowed Sue to bring that beauty out in portrait. You both rock!

outstanding! Beautifully said Kenna. from the heart.

You look amazing!

Just stunning!

I am amazed how "chin forward and down" seems to bring out the inner soul of a woman :-) Through the reactions of you and other women to their portraits taken by Sue on Creative Live , I have gained more understanding of women than through 40 years of life experience. Thank you for sharing, Kenna!

You inspire me lovely Kenna! These images are the real YOU and I'm very grateful to have such a beautiful friend. xo

Such beautiful images of a beautiful woman. Sue and Simona did such great work too. And on top of that, your writing skills are so very impressive. You write with such skill and weave the reader though your beautiful text. So impressive.

Kenna, you are great and you look great. As CL got a little bit part of my life, YOU got part of my life. As if you were sitting beside me in my home-classroom.
Again, want to thank you and the team of CL for a lovely week with Sue and Simona. xoxo from Austria - Dorelies

I look at these photos, especially the one headlining the post, and I see someone who is truly connected. This was one of the most compelling things that I took from Sue`s workshop. I went back through the posing guides several times, rewatched the broadcasts ALL NIGHT over several days, more than once...was truly exhausted and exhilarated, and I see the best of what I HOPE that I learned in your portraits. Sue is truly amazing and knows how to connect. I jumped right in to try to connect with my own clients, in the hope that I can, one day, do it as naturally as Sue does for the women that she photographs.

Thank you for sharing.

Gorgeous..!! :)

Kenna, you are an extremely attractive young lady! You should be modeling not sitting in the "anchor" position at CreativeLive, though we really appreciate your on-screen presence there! I was really struck with the description of your metamorphosis from a nervous subject to a beautiful model who is comfortable with herself. Excellent! Bravo to you!!

Kenna you look beautiful!! Love that you kept your curls...they're perfect!!

What a well said post, Kenna. That it's now how you feel and not how you look is such a magical transition of thought. The images are truly you in so many ways.

Kenna, you look absolutely stunning! Freedom to be yourself is the most liberating experience one could ever hope to achieve. Sue and Simona brought that experience of celebration and beauty to you and all the creativeLIVE audience that we, as photographers, hope to pass along to those in our life circle. You're lookin' good, kid!

I am so happy that you guys got to have this experience!! I only wish that all women could feel the way that you did, Kenna, as is reflected in your eyes..beauty, confidence and self liking!! Thank you for sharing your inner most feelings with us!!

Lovely!!!! Just adore these so much!

The pictures are lovely, of course, but you look completely, I don't know... satisfied? Content? Happy? Relaxed. Comfortable in your own skin. All of those things.

What a beautiful piece of writing by a beautiful woman! :)
