I was thrilled

when my Branding Session client reached out to me for another shoot that was business related at all. We had so much fun last year that she decided to invite me to be a part of her 40th birthday celebration. And Yes, we Lived it Up!

She decided to have her shoot at sunset at Lake Elkhorn in Maryland so that we would have versatile space to work with that was wide open enough to have enough space for us to be socially distanced throughout our time together. The weather this October evening was absolutely perfect and we had so many people walk by and congratulate (and question lol) her for turning 40. “Over the Hill looks really good nowadays.”

I actually couldn’t agree more. This is yet another sign for this 30-something girl to embrace aging gracefully with humble pride and dignity. I love seeing women celebrate themselves. This is something that black women need to see more of. Because we are truly worthy o being celebrated. Especially in 2020 when our job duties have doubled and in some cases tripled. We are living through a period of time that the world has never seen before and our lives deserve to be recognized and recorded. It deserves to be documented so that we can share our experience to future generations, letting them know that we not only lived but thrived through a time where it seemed impossible.

If you’re interested in booking your session with a 30-something old female photographer. I’m happy to welcome you to thrive in front of my lens.
