Everyone, please help me give a BIG welcome to our newest member, B Michele Wilson! ❤️ I already love what she's doing! @B Michele Wilson is teaching plus-size women how to sew clothes that actually fit THEIR bodies—and she's building a sewing sisterhood around it at Sewing Though It Her message? Sew It! Pivot! Become It! And my personal favorite: “Because sewing is cheaper than therapy!” 😂🧵✂️ She created a space for women tired of clothes that don't fit and ready to stop trying to change their bodies to fit the clothes—and start creating beautiful pieces made specifically for them. Now THAT is a story about creativity, confidence, and becoming. ❤️ And B Michele, I couldn't resist giving your profile picture a little Photography by Cristal, using your hot pink, black, and white brand colors. 📸💕 I hope you love it! We're so happy you're here. Please make yourself at home, jump into the stories, and share yours with us too. Welcome t Photography by Cristal, B Michele! ❤️ And I have to say it one more time... Sewing is cheaper than therapy! 😂✂️🧵💕

THIS is what happens on a live remote headshot call! 📸❤️ People still ask me, “But Cristal, how can you photograph someone when you’re not even in the same room?” Here’s the before and after. ⬇️ You simply put your smartphone on a stand so you’re hands-free, and we get on a live call together. I can see you, you can see me, and I personally guide you through everything—your lighting, your position, your expression, your chin, your shoulders—every little adjustment. I direct you. I capture the images from my end. You never have to come to a studio. And now I’ve discovered something even more exciting… I can do this during a group live session! The host can pin one member at a time so that person is the only one on my screen, and I can photograph and direct them individually while everyone else gets to watch the experience. We’ve already done it—and it works! 🙌 That opens up a whole new possibility for communities, teams and events: remote headshot mini-sessions, with one person stepping into the spotlight at a time. I’m experimenting now with getting each mini-session down to about 10–15 minutes per person, which could mean several people photographed in a single live event. No studio. No traveling. Just your smartphone, a little direction from me, and a whole new way to get your headshot. ❤️📸 Who would come to a live remote headshot event like this?

@Leah Higdon ❤️ I am ESPECIALLY excited about this new member because… she’s my beautiful daughter-in-law! ❤️ Leah is my son @Cash Vancarson wife, the mother of my very first grandbaby, and one of the most beautiful, supportive, incredible women. And she’s sitting right here next to me as I write this! 😂❤️ We have been having SO much fun because Leah has become my official family researcher! 🔎😂 She has been digging through the internet and finding modeling photographs from my past that I haven’t seen in YEARS. She even found some of me from 1984 at Tokyo Disneyland for Olive magazine! I made the cover and 14 pages🤯🇯🇵🏰
