You are Worthy of being in photos

Hi, I'm Debbie

Picture
Known as the photographer for Women over 40 in the New River Valley, I've been helping women feel beautiful in photos for over 15 years.

As an INFP and Enneagram 9 on the Leo/Virgo cusp, I bring a blend of empathy, calm energy, and gentle guidance to every session. My clients often tell me they feel instantly at ease, like they can finally exhale. That’s important to me, because I believe your beauty shines brightest when you feel seen, understood, and safe to just be you.

Every detail, from your colors to your posture, is guided with care so your final images reflect confidence and strength.
​
This is your moment to see your inner beauty radiate on the outside!

Check out what real, everyday women experienced during our photoshoots

Picture
Natalie - 40's
Before the photoshoot Natalie was worried "That people will see all the flaws I see".
​

​Afterwards she said, "Do something for yourself that allows you to experience self-love and self-worth. To really feel/see yourself and the beauty you possess. We all have flaws and we point them out to ourselves every day. So TODAY… identify all the things you love about yourself, inside and out!"

Picture
Teresa - 60's
"I have never felt attractive or pretty or really liked the skin that I am in." she said before her photoshoot.

​Afterwards she said: "
This experience has given me the confidence to shed that old skin and embrace my 60’s. That means accepting and owning all the lines, wrinkles, gray hairs, and saggy parts!"

Picture
Megan - 40's
Megan said before her photoshoot: "I never felt comfortable showing up or being seen, especially in marketing myself, for this seemed indulgent and self-absorbed. I never even considered how pictures of me could become an essential part of my career and life purpose. Me, why would they need to see pictures of me?"

​Afterwards she said: "I walked away from my experience feeling truly beautiful and realizing my worth comes not from my physical appearance but my magic captured on camera. Now, I can own and see those parts of me reflected through a camera lens and captured forever in a photo—such a beautiful gift to share with myself, my daughter, and the many other women I might encounter along the self-love journey"

It's Your Moment to Shine!

 

WHAT DOES A 40 OVER 40 SESSION INCLUDE?

Getting photos taken doesn't have to be a stressful experience!  In fact, we want this to be an empowering and fun experience for you!  It's important to us that you feel comfortable throughout your photoshoot journey. That's why we've crafted a thoughtful process to ensure you feel supported every step of the way.

Pre-Shoot Planning Session

Picture
Approximately 1 month prior to your photoshoot, we'll have a pre-shoot planning session over Zoom.  We'll cover topics such as wardrobe selection, items to bring, what to avoid, and address any questions or concerns you may have.  Clients say this step is very helpful and they feel a lot less stressed once we have talked it all out.

Wardrobe & Styling Help

Picture
When you arrive the day of your shoot, the first thing we do is go through your clothes together and I'll help you choose your best outfits for the camera. Sometimes I'll even have you try on clothing so I can see which ones fit you the best and what colors look best on you too.​

Professional Hair and Makeup

Picture
Roll out of bed and have a beauty team get you ready like the movie stars do!  We'll help you look polished for the camera so that you feel amazing in your own skin while soft spa music is played in the background to help you relax.   

Your hair and makeup is to your liking. We will make any changes if something is too dark or too light or the wrong color. These are your pictures and we want you to be happy with how you look in the mirror before we start the photoshoot.

A Fun, High-Class Photoshoot

Picture
Feel like a Celebrity in a magazine style photoshoot with personal attention, getting your hair and makeup professionally done, help choosing your outfits, a photographer who's an expert at posing women of all shapes and sizes, and showing you how to pose. 

AND you'll get to see a bunch of pictures on the back of my camera as we go along because I want you to see how you look and be a part of the process.

Posing Done for You!

Picture
You'll learn my go-to Power Poses!  I will show you what to do from your nose down to your toes.  I’ve worked with women of every shape, size, and age and have helped them change the way they pose for pictures.  You’ll walk away with confident and slimming posing tips to use forever.

Self-Care Day to Yourself

Picture
This is a 6 hour empowering experience.  We typically start 10am and wrap up the day around 4pm.  This photoshoot experience is like no other.  You are the only client for the day.  This is a custom, personal high-level experience that will empower you, lift you up, and give you pictures that you love of yourself.
