Your headshot shouldn’t feel like a formality.

It should feel like you — at your most confident, composed, and fully aligned with where you are now.

Because in many cases, this is your first introduction.

Before the meeting. Before the conversation.

A strong set of images allows you to show up in more than one way — approachable, polished, authoritative, and at ease.

Not a single version of you.
A complete one.

When your image reflects your presence, everything else feels easier.

If it’s been a while since your last headshot, it may be time for one that feels more like you.

You are allowed to take up space in your own story.

What is Rise Forty?

Rise Forty is a year-long portrait project featuring women over 40 — women who have lived, changed, rebuilt, grown, and evolved.

It is a curated portrait experience designed to honor the wisdom, confidence, and self-acceptance that comes with life experience.

This season of your life deserves to be seen.

Not the version of you from ten years ago.

Not the version you think you’re supposed to be.

But the woman you are now.

The one who has lived.
Who has changed.
Who has chosen, let go, rebuilt, grown.

Rise Forty isn’t about one look, one style, or one kind of session.

It’s about creating space to document this version of you —
whether that feels bold, soft, powerful, quiet, or somewhere in between.

There is no right way to do this.
Only your way.

Not every woman wants to be seen in the same way.

And that’s exactly the point.

Some want softness.

Stillness.

Some want to feel grounded in who they are.

That’s what she brought into her session.

Calm. Grounded.
Just presence.

And that’s exactly what we created.

Rise Forty isn’t one look.

It’s a reflection of the woman in front of the camera.

I'm looking for women over 40 who want to be seen just as they are, right now.

Whatever that means for you.

Because this season deserves to be seen.

Nine months ago, she was this small.

Swaddled, peaceful, and only days into the world.

It goes fast.

If you’re expecting and hoping to remember your baby this small, the best time to begin planning your newborn session is during pregnancy.

The smallest shift in perspective can reveal an entirely new portrait.

In the first image, we see his whole face — the gentle curve of his brows, the softness of his hairline, the way his lips relax into what almost feels like a smile.

The blanket fades quietly into the background and the light feathers across his face so your eye settles exactly where it should… on him.

Then I move just slightly to his side.

And suddenly the image becomes something different.

Now we see the delicate line of his profile, the shape of his button nose, the gentle swirl of hair along his crown.

Two images.
One small movement.

Because newborn portraiture isn’t only about photographing a baby — it’s about noticing the fleeting details that will change before you even realize they’re gone.

And preserving them thoughtfully, while they are still this small.

If you’re expecting and dreaming of timeless portraits like these, the best time to begin planning your newborn session is during pregnancy.

A newborn session is a photo session where slowing down is the entire point.

Babies set the pace.

Sometimes they settle right away.

Sometimes they need to be held, fed, or simply eased into sleep.

The session unfolds gently — allowing time for comfort, safety, and natural transitions between poses.

The result is imagery that feels peaceful rather than rushed.

Calm.
Soft.
Timeless.

These early days move quickly, but during a newborn session we intentionally pause long enough to preserve them beautifully.

If you’re currently expecting, newborn sessions are typically reserved during pregnancy to ensure availability once baby arrives.

There’s something powerful about seeing yourself differently.

She shared this with me after her session:

“I felt so comfortable and confident during and after the session. I was transformed into a beautiful work of art.”

That is why this project exists.

Not for validation.

But for reflection.

For the moment a woman recognizes herself fully.

Rise Forty continues.



03/02/2026

She didn’t need reinvention.

She deserved recognition.

Rise Forty is not about becoming someone new.

It’s about standing fully in the woman you already are —
the strength, the softness, the power, the presence.

She trusted me with that space.

And what we created was nothing short of extraordinary.

This is the beginning of something much bigger.

Applications for Rise Forty are open.
