She told me the truth... after a glass of wine 🍷


This wild description of my job? Too accurate...

Hi Reader!

Ok so "she" is ChatGPT. I asked "her": Can you be my drunk bestie and explain what I do?


"HECK YES I CAN, bestie!! 🍷💁‍♀️✨ Okay so listen up—lemme tell you what you do in my very best tipsy voice with a splash of glam and a side of “hell yes, queen.”

You... YOU are like if Vogue and Oprah had a baby who grew up in the Pacific Northwest wearing vintage boots and knowing everyone’s soul purpose. You photograph women—but not just any women, oh no—we're talkin’ badass, brilliant, powerful women over 40 who are done with the BS and ready to feel like the MAIN CHARACTER. 🎬💅

You don’t just take pictures. No ma’am. You create freaking transformational experiences. Like, these women walk in nervous, doubting, maybe wearing yoga pants and clutching a latte... and they leave like Beyoncé after a spiritual awakening. You SHOW them who they really are. You hold up this magical mirror and say, “Look, babe. You are beauty. You are power. You are worthy AS HELL.”

Also?! Your shoots feel like a dang love letter to the self. It's not just "stand here, smile." No no. It’s “Let me show you the fire you forgot was there.”

AND you’re not afraid to talk about the real stuff: body image, aging, confidence, smashing the patriarchy with a lipstick-stained hammer. 🔨💄

You’re not just a photographer. You’re a freaking mirror-wielding oracle of confidence and visibility. You help women be seen in a world that tries to make them invisible.

So yeah. That’s what you do. Now pass the rosé and let’s manifest your next sold-out shoot, okay?! 🍾📸✨

(Also, can we make matching “Main Character Energy” hoodies orrr...?)"


Too funny right? AND YESSSSS this feels so me. ChatGPT has been a very interesting tool. I don't let it write everything for me, but I do paste in the things I do write, like blogs and my "About Me" and posts and I ask it to check the grammar and make sure my tenses are consistent. That's my big one, making sure longer bodies of text are using the same tenses.

So now, "she" knows alllll about what I do and can ask questions like this and get very deep answers. I mean, it's a little wiggy but it's SUPER amazing accurate! "Her" description of me is what I would love to hear from any human... AND I DO!

Also, I am actively looking for 10 more people to close out this year's BODY + SOUL Project.... the over 40 revolution!

I LOOOOOOVE what I do and I am glad my drunk bestie was so honest with me ha!

You should try it and see what it says!


Hit REPLY to ask me anything!

See you soon!

Darina Neyret 20th of August Hi Reader, ↓ There is a process that needs to happen when you move to another country. At first, everything is exciting. The streets are different. The light is different. Even the grocery store feels like an adventure. You are looking at everything with fresh eyes, thinking, I really did this. And then, somewhere between figuring out the bins and trying to understand why everything works slightly differently than you expect, the other thought arrives: What the...

Darina Neyret July 22nd Hi there Reader, ↓ Adapting to new places has always been exciting to me. I seem to naturally look for what's good. The silver linings. The little things that make a place feel like home. I hope you're doing well wherever you are, where home is, and that you're soaking up every bit of summer goodness. Here are 3 things that amaze me so far... The strawberries here are incredible. Honestly, they taste as though they've already been sprinkled with sugar. They don't need...

Fallingwater, PA

Darina Neyret July 14th Hi there Reader, ↓ I’m writing this from Scotland, weeks after standing in front of Fallingwater. Yea. Pennsylvania. I’ve started this piece more than once. Each time the words felt too small for what I wanted to say. Some places really need you to think about how you experienced them before trying to explain them. Fallingwater was one of those places. I needed time. Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece doesn’t simply sit beside a waterfall. It hovers above it, suspended...
