Posted @withregram • @helentanseyphotography Last week I had the good fortune of taking photos of the incredible @mindyshankar ♥️ There is so much I want to share about my time with Melinda but her story is hers to share. Which is why I asked her to be on my podcast @coming.into.focus in the next couple of weeks. What I can tell you is she is a kind and loving soul. Through her story, you will learn that our challenges are our gifts, that when we stay and embrace the shadow areas in our lives we find our strength and light. Thank you Melinda for such a beautiful session and not only are you talented and inspiring, but you are also the most beautiful woman♥️much love to you. Thank you @beautybychloeszcz for you outstanding makeup & hair
The kind of soul sisters that have you laughing for hours high on mocktails. 🙏🏽❤️

Is it a bad time to tell my agent that this hair is now a bit shorter and back to my natural black?? 😂😅
Cheers to an incredibly talented & COOL photographer @erinleydon 🙏🏽🌹 She knows how to capture energy, love & magic.
15 years ago my life changed forever when my first ever appearance on TV happened to be as a series lead for my absolute favourite show I used to watch. I had just turned 16, moved out of my home in Ottawa and began my #herosjourney without the consciousness to realize what was happening. The photos from @muchofficial were to promote the new season and I had grown up watching everything this channel had to offer. Was wild meeting fans the “old fashioned” way aka pre social media and pre cell phones! (hence the og point and shoot😂📷) For many reasons my life has never been the same but one thing is certain, I’ve learnt that an artist’s path is never fulfilled if they continue nurturing their love for creativity. I used to fall asleep imagining my role on this show even before I had an agent and I do believe in having a strong vision for what you want in life. Law and order.. I’m coming for you next! 😂 (my third fav show growing up- to present day) Second fav was #thatssoraven and I got my version via #howtobeindie 🙏🏽🥹 #THANKYOUUNIVERSE for a life of adventure and rites of passage into the version of self I am today. There is surely nothing conventional about my existence and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Today I’m being interviewed by one of my dearest friends and mentors.. the one and only #LewisBaumander of @lbactingstudio , the man that guided my craft and mindset from youth into adult roles (and esp how to lower my once high voice pitch lol) Can’t wait to share it! Xoxox – Melinda ! #8seasons & #221 episodes of #degrassithenextgeneration later😱 Shoutout to Stephanie Gorin, Linda Schuyler & my pal @stephenstohn for seeing the alien in me 🥶🌹
