UniquelyMade

by CHANEL MARLENE

Welcome

UniquelyMade: a place where your story is seen, heard, and valued.

UniquelyMade is a one-on-one photo experience with photographer, Chanel Marlene.

UniquelyMade was created to empower women by naming their individual qualities to help them pursue their unique purpose and calling. While being photographed, they are encouraged to call out insecurities/lies over their identity that hold them back from seeing their inherent beauty and uniqueness.

By taking photographs of their emotional journey, they are provided with tangible evidence of their journey and testimony.

"I used to be terrified at just the idea of a picture like this even being taken - let alone posted. But when @chanelmarlene shared it yesterday in a post about her #uniquelymade collection, my brain just said "Wow, I want to hug that woman."

Like the run toward your friend screaming joyfully and laughing just because you're happy to see them - kind of hug; loving on those belly rolls she used to be ashamed of but now sees as soft and a beautifully made hug-enhancement."

"I was at my all time low a few months ago and I’ve been trying so hard to claw my way out of the darkness and insecurity. I hated how stuck I was in life, no job, school cut short, distanced & quick goodbyes, and no sense of purpose. I felt hopeless and like a failure.

[Finally], @chanelmarlene and I got to do this shoot. I can’t believe that this woman is me. I’m FREE from the chains that were binding me.

Thank you @chanelmarlene for allowing me this opportunity to see beauty in myself."

"Rarely have I walked away from seeing a photo of myself and was not devastated for AT LEAST 24 hours after the fact.
I had such a fun time on the beach with Chanel. We talked about my deep rooted history with poor self image and life long lies that have been falsified as truth in my mind. She made me feel at ease and ultimately, she made me feel beautiful.

Tonight I received my sneak peek photos and I literally gasped. I didn’t sit here devastated, with my weakly built self image crashing down around me. Quite the opposite. The image on the screen was brighter, stronger, real and more beautiful than the vision of myself that I carry with me day to day."

During our shoot, we explore a location for about an hour and enjoy conversation about your passions, purpose, and gifts all while being empowered in front of the camera!

You are encouraged to bring outfits that bring confidence and reflect WHO you are - because that's what all this is about.
