Local Photographer Joins National Search for America’s Most Beautiful Mothers

As part of Beauty Revived, a photography movement, Erin Perez is asked for nominations for beautiful mothers in Eagle Pass to be featured in a national magazine.

The beauty of these women were not be measured by their waist size or flare for fashion. No, these women were be chosen because of their real beauty, their courage and their countenance. The winner was given a free photo session with E Cubed Photography and a feature in the Mother’s Day issue of Beauty Revived magazine.

Beauty Revived is a movement that celebrates women with real beauty. Photographers donate sessions to these women and their stories are featured in their magazine and website: www.beautyrevived.com.

Hundreds of photographers applied to be a part of the Beauty Revived 50 Most Beautiful Mothers campaign and Erin Perez of E Cubed Photography was chosen to find a deserving mother to photograph.

“I was excited to work with Beauty Revived! It is very important to me that I am allowed to showcase what amazing women we have in this city.”

E Cubed Photography accepted nominations in late February and early March; then choose one to donate a photography session to. The chosen mother is Melissa Gratkowski. She is an example of real beauty and has shown their beauty by her service when weary, grace in defeat and kindness when tried.

“I hope that when others read the article and see her images, they have a feeling of empowerment and pride knowing that with hard work and a positive attitude they can make a difference in their community.”

Beauty Revived was started eighteen months ago as a way for photographers to use their lens for good and shine light on the real beauty that was happening in our communities. In the last year and a half, more than 300 women, girls and children have been featured on their website and magazine.

“As a high school senior photographer, I started Beauty Revived because I saw the power that a photographer has in shaping perception and altering dialogue on beauty,” Michelle Gifford, Beauty Revived founder, said.

“The photographers who participate in our campaigns not only have great technical and artistic talent but also have big hearts and a desire to be more than just a picture taker. They want to be a photographer who changes the world with their work,” Gifford said.
