Dear Women Over 40:


 

I see you, but I know it may not feel like the rest of the world actually sees you. I know how it feels to not feel represented in the movies and magazines, and if we do see a woman over 40 in the media it’s to advertise anti-wrinkle cream or hair dye. I for one would LOVE to see more fabulous, vibrant and sexy women over 40 in our media. Representation matters and it makes a difference in how we view ourselves.

As a 47-year-old woman, I know what it feels like to finally come into my own skin and feel my true beauty. It’s an amazing feeling, but then there’s the not-so great feeling of not seeing women like me being portrayed in this positive light in the media. Where are all the fabulous women over 40 that are feeling confident in their own skin and still look damn good?

I know there are women our there who are kicking butt in their careers, raising families, starting businesses and still have many, many years of vibrant youth still in them. I want to capture all that and add to the positive pro-aging movement women are having.

That’s why I’ve createdthese Empowerment Photo Shoots

For the wise woman who knows her own beauty and wants to have it recognized and celebrated positively in our society.

In these sessions you will be SEEN, HEARD and DOCUMENTED in hopes to inspire a beauty revolution for women over the age of 40.

 
 
 
 

As a women’s empowerment photographer I specialize in bringing out what is beautiful in each women--and I’ve consistently found that older women bring a depth of life experience, wisdom, and even spiritual richness that can make us shine and have others take notice.

I’m here to capture that spark within you. Because yes, it’s there inside you--but you probably haven’t yet gifted yourself the space and opportunity to let that shine.

We all know beauty is more than what we look like on the outside--haven’t you met that older woman who radiates a joie-de-vivre and calm, grounded confidence that lights up a room, and makes everyone take notice?

When a woman finds her own beauty confidence, even if she’s never had it before, her unique beauty becomes intoxicating to everyone around her.

 
 
 
 

I’m on a Mission…

To help you find that beauty confidence

This new sense of confidence and empowerment that arises from just an afternoon photoshoot, is truly surprising. I know that it’s not possible to magically have confidence in just one afternoon, but hopefully this special experience will spark something in you to continue that journey to your most confident authentic self, and most importantly an abiding self-love that everyone around you notices.

Because isn’t that the real beauty of getting older? We are hear to live our most authentic lives and inspire others to do the same.
