A Celebration of Confidence: The Essence Of Curves Fashion Show 👠
The Essence Of Curves Fashion Show was a remarkable event that shone a spotlight on the beauty of diversity in the fashion industry. As the proud photographer for the occasion, Sorena A Photography captured the spirit and energy of the day, where every curve was celebrated, and every design spoke volumes of inclusivity and style.
The runway was ablaze with color, confidence, and the latest trends that cater to all body types. It was more than a fashion show; it was a movement, breaking barriers and setting new standards in the world of fashion. With each click, my camera caught the boldness of the models and the intricate details of their attire, creating memories that will inspire and empower for years to come.
Reflecting on this event, I feel a renewed sense of purpose in my photography – to showcase the beauty in everyone and to tell stories that resonate. I am grateful for the chance to have been a part of such an important event and look forward to future opportunities that celebrate such powerful messages.

A Tapestry of Empowerment: The Jane Club's Event at the Essence Festival
The New Orleans Essence Festival was brightened by The Jane Club event, a sanctuary for working mothers from LA. Co-founder Jess Zaino infused the gathering with a touch of California's warmth, enhancing the city's vibrancy. This gathering was more than an event; it was a movement, celebrating the multifaceted roles of women in an environment that felt like home.
Attendees were treated to a variety of soul-enriching activities. Mentorship sessions offered wisdom, while Planned Parenthood sparked critical conversations. Children enjoyed creative activities orchestrated by Chudney Ross. The portrait experience, styled by Julia Wilson and captured through Deun Ivory's lens, allowed women to see and celebrate their own beauty. The Artleadher exhibit showcased inspiring works by women artists.
The event was further elevated by the presence of celebrated personalities. Chudney Ross, Estelle, Tai Beauchamp, Dezi Santiago, and Mashonda Tifrere each brought their unique spirit, adding to the day's inspiration and empowerment. My role as the event photographer allowed me to capture these moments, creating a visual narrative of the day's magic.
