Embracing the Beauty of Age: Celebrating Women 40+

Blog Post 4/1/2024

It’s no April Fools’ Day joke, my 40th birthday is just around the corner ;) I have spent the last five years reflecting on my journey to this milestone. Through self portraits, creative collaborations, travel adventures, new friendships, and a good amount of therapy, one thing I have come to understand is that the beauty of aging is something to be celebrated, particularly for women.

Over the past 13+ years as a photographer, I have had the privilege of creating portraits for my clients—capturing the wonder of pregnancy, the beautiful chaos of the toddler years, the excitement of a senior on the precipice of adulthood—so many moments worthy of being celebrated and remembered. This year I want to embark on a new special project close to my heart. I am extending an invitation to 40 remarkable women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond to join me for a custom portrait session in my studio.

This project is more than just creating beautiful portraits. It is about sharing the freedom, acceptance, and worthiness I have found in myself over the past five years. I had never felt worthy to be a subject of art, because I did not fit the mold—too round, too stretched, too tired, too uncool, too old. Being my own subject for the first time was initially terrifying, but the leap of faith resulted in a series of portraits that left me feeling beautiful, empowered, and valuable. Size fluctuates, age increases, yet women are still worthy to be celebrated in beautiful portraits that showcase who they are. Juggling careers, families, passions, and dreams with grace and determination, we can embrace imperfections and wear scars with dignity. Although our society may glorify youth, I believe true beauty deepens with age.

I am excited to see this project evolve over the next year. I will curate a digital magazine highlighting the stories and experiences of the incredible women I meet along the way. This magazine will celebrate the triumphs and wisdom of these women, and aim to inspire others to embrace the beauty of aging. In addition, a portion of each session fee will be donated to a local women's charity.

I am excited to meet 40 amazing women over the next year!
