I will never forget when Ari walked into the studio to inquire about a photoshoot.  She was asking about family photos but when I mentioned the 40 over 40 campaign, she immediately sounded interested in participating!  She said her birthday was coming up and she was turning 65, so this would be a great way to celebrate her birthday!  In addition, Ari mentioned that she would love for her daughter to experience the session with her!  She said that they didn't have any portraits together and she wanted to change that!  

Let me just say, having two amazing ladies over the age of 40 celebrating themselves individually and together in portraits was an absolutely beautiful experience!  I felt honored to hold space for them to see their beauty and empower their inner goddess to emerge!

Round 2 of the 40 over 40 campaign will be launching soon!  But if you would like to honor and celebrate motherhood now, click this link to learn more about the Celebrating Moms portrait sessions going on now.
