WHY PHOTOGRAPHING WOMEN 40+ AND WHY NOW?

Going through my old photo albums I noticed I don’t have any portraits of my mom and grandma or even my sisters, it was a hard reality for me. I celebrated my recent birthday with a personal portrait session and the feeling of celebrating all stages of my life, owning a beautiful portrait which I love looking at, made me realize I love this for every woman.

Every woman deserves a beautiful portrait of themselves!

This experience will change the way that you look at yourself! It is fun, fulfilling and transformational. I want all of the PHENOMENAL 40+ LADIES to be a part of this practice of self-love, self-care and empowerment!

Your beauty is within you… and I want to bring it out. This is an opportunity for connection, transformation & celebration of self. Join me on a fun and incredible adventure!

Too many women over 40 feel invisible. I’m here to change it.

I was feeling nervous before the consultation because I don't like many photos of me. I didn't know what to expect, never done anything like this before so every thing was new and exciting for me. So glad I did it! The consultation session was great, lots of information and was fun picking out the cloths for the shoot. During the session I became much more at ease and Sara made me feel relaxed and more confident in how I look. I’m not used to so much makeup but they did a great job. The whole experience was so much fun once I relaxed and got over the nervousness. Sara you made my day special! I was so excited to see the photos and it was so hard to chose but I love them all, good job! Sara has patience while my Husband and I had a hard time picking. I’m thrilled with the photos you made me feel beautiful, my family loves them too and it feels good to get nice compliments from them.

It was a fabulous experience and I think every women should do it at least once in their life. Sara Thank you for an amazing experience you gave me more confidence in how I am seen and loved by my family and friends.

I liked Sara's idea of 50+ and Fabulous and felt like I wanted to be part of her plan and get some portraits done to celebrate myself. Before my session I was so curious to know how my makeup, hair and photoshoot would be and after the session I was so happy with the whole experience. I give it 10 out of 10. Everything was great and I was so comfortable with Sara which I think is the most important part. We had a consultation session before my photoshoot so I knew the atmosphere and the process and all the information. I went for the reveal session with my daughter and couldn't wait to see my photos, they were hidden at first. I couldn't believe in my eyes. They were all so pretty that made the decision so hard. I am so happy and I love all photographs but not only because it's me, they are truly magnificent art which is captured by Sara. That was one of those experiences that stays in my mind forever. Thank you so much for creating that beautiful moments for me!
