The only studio in Rochester, NY and surrounding area specializing in photographing women over 40
This topic has been on my mind for several years. At some point, I realized that most women do not have a portrait that will define them for the next generations. Not a cell phone snippet that is stored in a cloud, but a proper portrait that depicts them in a way they should be remembered.
I grew to realize that women feel guilty about having a photo session for themselves and not for the whole family, or they simply feel they need to lose weight, or change their hair, or have a beauty procedure to minimize wrinkles, or... Believe me, I understand all of that! But the reality is that you are as young today as you will ever be! You are beautiful the way you are! And every shape and form should be celebrated!
So, why wait? Seize the opportunity to celebrate yourself, your journey, and your beauty with a professional portrait session. Let your story be told in photographs – timeless, captivating, and undeniably you.

I have never been photographed professionally and don't know how to pose. Will you guide me?
Absolutely! I prepare for each photoshoot based on our consultation. I select poses that are most flattering for each person I photograph. You do not need to have any experience, it is my job to make you look spectacular!
I do not have anything to wear. Do I need to purchase a new wardrobe?
During the consultation, we will discuss the style and wardrobe. It is always fun to get new outfits and if that is what you are looking for, we will talk about what to get and where to shop. However, we will look at your wardrobe and my client's closet to discover the possibilities and design the styling that is right for you.
Do you include hair and make up in the experience?
Yes, the hair and professional make-up are included. We will talk about the look you would prefer, and my stylists will work with you on creating the best look for you.
How long will the photo shoot take?
The total experience will take about 5 hours:
- hair/make-up (1 hour)
- photoshoot(2-2.5 hours)
- break with snacks/drinks (30 minutes)

During image selection, you will decide which images you wish to purchase and select the ones you want edited without the final commitment.
It seems like a long time, but it will be fun, and the time will go by quickly.
Are the images included in the experience?
No, they are not, but you do not have any obligation to purchase. It is my job to create images you will love. Once you see the images, you are welcome to purchase as many as you wish to own. Portraits are 300 each, and collections start at 1500. We offer folio boxes, albums, and wall art. You will love the products printed by the best industry vendors; some are made in Italy and are of the highest quality. Remember, you only buy what you love!
Can I do this with a friend or a family member?
Absolutely! We will discuss this during the consultation.
Anything else I should know?
Yes, this portrait experience isn't just about capturing beautiful images; it's about creating a platform for self-expression, a space to share wisdom, and a reminder that each one of us is worth celebrating.
