      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Clover - Choices of a Lifetime</image:title>
      <image:caption>It occurs to me that a group of women defined by a label of “Over 40” contains a pretty wide swath of human experiences. In 2026 I turn 66. Both of my parents were 66 when they died, so this landmark age has been an auspicious one for me since the 90s, when I found myself without them. I was living in California in my early 40s with 2 young sons and a crumbling marriage. I learned then that no matter what my age, life throws curve balls that can challenge me, crush me, strengthen me, inspire me, and, yes, even kill me.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Clover - One of the hallmarks of aging – along with its liberating aspect - is the recurring reminder that we really do not have forever on this beautiful blue ball. Every moment counts. It’s up to each of us to make the kinds of choices that keep us growing and thriving. How the AF do we acquire the skill sets to do that?</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Clover - At this moment in my life, I feel more fully self-expressed, content and excited about the possibilities for my future than I ever have. I’ve decided that it’s all about making choices without judging them.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Clover - I was lucky to be brought up in a time (1960s and 70s) when a lush exposure to public school arts programs fed my curiosity and creativity. Fine arts, music, dance, and theater were an integral part of my childhood and teen years. Choosing universities where I could major in acting and dance was a natural extension of who I was. My dreams were lofty. I wrote songs on my guitar, I got lead roles in plays; I had no idea if I was any good, but, in a school setting, it all felt so right.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Clover - Speaking of the choices we make… after graduating, and pounding the pavement in the big city without the necessary drive to conquer the world of professional entertainment, I returned to suburban Detroit. My performing aspirations fizzled and were shelved for decades as I pursued other careers and important relationships. Those choices felt right at the time, and, looking back, they absolutely were.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Clover - Who knew that relocating to northern Michigan in my 50s as a single mom would put me back on the  path I’d organically begun so long ago. It seems to me that, when we stay open to our hearts’ desires, they will never be extinguished, and are standing by, ready to reignite. I’m a flaming example of this. I’m proud to be among a group of women who are open to the conversations that inspire us to make  bold and beautiful choices. The kind that bring us - at every age- to an authentic sense of who we are.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Jessica - I didn’t begin this journey because my life was peaceful—I began it because I was drowning. For years, depression was my default state. I lived in constant internal battle mode: stressed, dysregulated, disconnected, and deeply uncomfortable in my own skin. I stayed in a corporate job for the paycheck, not the purpose, and coped in ways that numbed me instead of nourishing me. My body was tense, my mind overwhelmed, and my spirit buried under survival mode.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Jessica - Learning how to create coherence—the state where the heart, brain, and nervous system work together—became my turning point.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Jessica - Through nervous system rewiring, heart coherence practices, intentional self-regulation, and clearing the energetic clutter that weighed me down, I began to transform from the inside out. I learned how to restore my own system, shift emotional patterns, and direct my energy toward what truly mattered. Slowly, I stepped out of battle mode and into alignment.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Jessica - Today, in my late 40s, I feel more grounded, clear, and aligned than ever before.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Well-being—emotional, physical, and spiritual—is now my highest priority and greatest passion. Challenges no longer feel like roadblocks; they feel like invitations for deeper growth and evolution. This is the transformation I now share with others: the journey from reactivity to regulation, from chaos to coherence, from survival to wholehearted living.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Rebecca - Designing a Life of Purpose: A Journey of Redefining Success By Rebecca Rankin</image:title>
      <image:caption>There I was in my early 20s, sitting at my computer in the financial district of San Francisco, looking at CAD drawings of yet another building I didn't care about. It felt like my entire life was mapped out in drawings, deadlines, and corporate meetings. Is this it? …This can't be it…There's got to be more than this.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Rebecca - I had followed the standard formula for "success:" graduate from high school, go to college, get a degree, land a job, make money, and you're set. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in architecture, moved to San Francisco, and landed a coveted job at a corporate architecture firm. By all accounts, I had made it. But inside, I was miserable.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I watched my colleagues, people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, spending late nights in the office, missing time with their families, dedicating their lives to this work. And I knew in my gut, "This is not my path." That realization set me on a journey I never could have predicted. A journey that took me from designing buildings to designing wellness experiences for women around the world.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669a6d24ee919a78151dbd43/339e7064-6750-45c5-97af-6bc37c868cc1/Rebecca_web-5206.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Rebecca - The stress of working for a corporate architecture firm was consuming me, and a colleague suggested I try yoga to help me cope. Thankfully, in San Francisco, there's a yoga studio pretty much on every corner. I walked into my first yoga class and let's just say, it was not love at first sight. But something inside me said, “Keep doing it”. And so I did.</image:title>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669a6d24ee919a78151dbd43/3e0f0c57-9ad9-4832-8f56-d303ac7dd419/Rebecca_web-5192.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Rebecca - My yoga practice became the one place where I could release the weight of my stress and anxiety. It was where I could simply be. Over time, my practice deepened, and I realized I wanted to share this gift with others. After three and a half years in architecture, I took the leap. I quit my job, packed my bags, and moved to Los Angeles for a 9 week yoga teacher training.</image:title>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/669a6d24ee919a78151dbd43/5f239f59-f123-42a0-9249-0f5b3710a7b4/Rebecca_web-5180.jpg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Rebecca - I had no idea if this would work. I was scared. What if I fail? But sometimes, you don't need to see the full path. You just need to take the next step.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Leaving architecture behind, I started teaching yoga full-time in San Francisco. My journey took me across the world, leading yoga retreats and yoga teacher trainings in Central and South America, Europe, and even living in the Netherlands where I managed a yoga studio.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Rebecca - Eventually, I returned to the U.S., opening my own yoga studio in Pittsburgh and later, in Northern Michigan. Each pivot was a step deeper into alignment with my purpose. Owning a brick-and-mortar business came with its own set of challenges: learning to navigate entrepreneurship, leadership, and learning to adapt along the way. Yet through all of it, I learned that every challenge was an opportunity to grow.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Rebecca - In March 2020, everything changed overnight. The pandemic forced all of us to pivot, and for me, that meant making the difficult decision to give away my yoga studio and shift my focus to supporting women through wellness online. I created a self-care membership app specifically for women, designed to support them through cyclical wellness practices, and through this process, I discovered my next calling. What came naturally to me, creating digital programs and building websites, was a major hurdle for other women wellness entrepreneurs who wanted to share their gifts online but felt overwhelmed by the technology.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Rebecca - Once again, I felt the call to realign to my purpose.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Rebecca - I’ve learned that success isn't about following a linear path. It's about listening to your inner knowing, and having the courage to realign with what truly lights you up. If you're feeling stuck in a career that no longer serves you or afraid to take the leap into something new, trust that every transition brings you closer to your purpose. The path isn't always clear, but it always leads to where you're meant to be. You just need to take the next step.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Niché - In her own words: As I’ve entered this new season of life, life over 40, I carry with me the gifts of growth, grace, and hard-earned transformation. I am a woman of faith and a person in long-term recovery—over seventeen years of choosing healing, choosing honesty, and choosing a life that aligns with God’s purpose for me. Recovery has shaped me; it has opened the door to discovering who I truly am and the woman I continue to become.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Niché - Over the last few years, I’ve been intentionally focused on growing into the person I want to be—for me, and ultimately, who God designed me to be. What matters most now is connection—connection to God, to myself, and to the people around me. I’m learning to build deeper relationships, the kind that go beyond the surface and make space for truth, vulnerability, and the hard things we often avoid. These relationships have become sacred places where real healing takes root.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Niché - I’m learning to meet every part of myself with curiosity rather than judgment, to allow my emotions space without letting them dictate my reactions, and to understand that healing the deeper places within me brings more freedom than I ever imagined. I’m discovering the importance of play—something that was mostly out of reach before my 40s—being less serious, relaxing, and allowing joy to take up more room in my life. I’m practicing laughing more, taking vacations without guilt, and fully enjoying the simple goodness around me. Like sitting on the beach, building sandcastles.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Niché - As I step fully into life at 46, I’m embracing this next chapter with hope. I want it to be marked by more love, more freedom, more play, and more authentic connection. I want to continue becoming a woman who listens closely—to God, to others, and to the quiet wisdom within. My story is still unfolding, and I’m grateful for every part of the journey that brought me here. If you’re reading this, I hope you feel encouraged to keep discovering what brings YOU peace, love, and hope—because your story is worth every step. I’m cheering you on!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Kathy - I’ve known Kathy for years now and I’m always inspired by her authenticity and courage. She was one of my first 40 Over 40 Portrait Sessions way back in 2024! Here is a bit of Kathy’s story in her words…</image:title>
      <image:caption>“Biologically, I hit 60 recently. That apparently unlocks a whole world of “senior discounts”. That’s the good part! The trade off is suddenly hearing the word “senior” used to describe me, or hearing those in their 60s referred to as “elderly”. It took 60 years to get here but that shift, the labeling, feels so abrupt!”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Kathy - “Here’s the thing though: with age has come clarity - real clarity, the kind that only accumulates through lived experiences. I am now unapologetically clear about what matters most to me. My head, heart, and gut are in alignment, providing the kind of peace I never had in earlier decades.</image:title>
      <image:caption>For much of my life, I believed that I could influence others (especially those close to me) into adopting my beliefs and values. I thought that they didn’t yet see what I saw. After all, they are good people, so they must just be misinformed. Not only was that naive, it was admittedly arrogant.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Kathy - “What I discovered instead was something far more powerful: the value of finding common ground.</image:title>
      <image:caption>At 55, I made a major career shift from corporate life to being self-employed as a speaker and workplace culture facilitator. My focus is on using healthy conflict as a tool for strengthening relationships.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Kathy - “The truth is that everyone wants to feel a sense of belonging and the confidence of knowing that their voice is valued, even if it isn’t completely aligned with others. Yes, we differ, often profoundly. But the commonalities are even stronger. Yes, conflict exists. But beneath it lies an even deeper desire for connection and stability.</image:title>
      <image:caption>For me, influence no longer feels like pushing, persuading, or placating. It feels like inviting, listening, and meeting people where they are. Admittedly, I am still on that journey and I fall short more times than I’d like. Yet, gaining clarity has allowed me to reflect and course correct far sooner. Now, excuse me while I go take advantage of that early bird special!”</image:caption>

In her own words, she reflects on becoming a mother at 40, honoring loss, and finding joy in everyday moments—often outdoors and often in motion.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40 Spotlight: Meet Katie - “I am a teacher, a new mom, and an outdoors enthusiast who loves art, nature, movement, and community connection. I live for northern Michigan summers, soaking up any chance to run with my Springer Spaniel, mountain bike with my husband, or take my toddler to the beach. These outdoor moments are my moving meditation, my self-care, and my reliable escape from the steady to-do list.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40 Spotlight: Meet Katie - “After becoming pregnant at 40 and fulfilling my long-held dream of becoming a mother, I shifted to part-time teaching to be present for my daughter’s early years. Life as a new mom has given me a surprising set of emerging superpowers: interpreting one-year-old babble, predicting nap-time mood swings, and locating missing socks with near-psychic accuracy. My daughter has quickly become both my greatest joy and her most adorable workout partner—I’ve learned that carrying a toddler definitely counts as strength training.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40 Spotlight: Meet Katie - “When I’m not running across town or running after a small child, I can be found in the garden—my happy place—where I grow vegetables, herbs, and a deep appreciation for plants resilient enough to survive mild neglect. Growing yard produce is my quiet counterbalance to a wonderfully full life. This past summer, I even turned it into a small source of income, setting up a farmstand offering yard-grown flowers and fruit.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40 Spotlight: Meet Katie - “Though loss and grief have shaped me—becoming a widow in my twenties and later caring for, and losing, my father in my thirties—I do my best to meet each day with appreciation, curiosity, and an open heart. More and more, I’m finding that joy lives in the small, ordinary moments—often outside, often in motion, and often through connection with others.”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Sue - Meet Sue. At 68, she embodies versatility, creativity, and humor. From working as a project manager in construction to serving as Executive Director of a nonprofit art center, Sue has lived many lives — all rooted in connection and service. A poet, musician, and lifelong lover of the arts, she believes laughter is essential to surviving life’s deepest emotions. More confident and grounded than ever, Sue is committed to being the calm, compassionate presence she wants to see in the world.</image:title>

      <image:caption>“I’m an outside the box kind of person.  I never really knew what “the box” is.   Growing up with three brothers in the 1960s, I found I’d rather catch frogs or play army than play with dolls.   I never had a Barbie Doll.  My mom claimed I didn’t need to have what all the other little girls had.  Perhaps that is what taught me I didn’t need to DO what other girls do.   I did get married and have children, but I was the only one of my siblings that followed our father into the men’s world of construction. Hard bid and conceptual estimating plus construction project management are a few pieces of my experiences.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Sue - I had challenges as a woman working in a man’s world, but found that my girl brain saw work arounds that others did not.  What helped me was a passion for observing what other organizations did, understanding what made sense for what circumstance, and having the ability to adapt procedures across situations and industries.  My roles in professional organizations like the American Society of Professional Estimators, the U.S. Green Building Council, and acquiring my LEED accreditation in Building Design and Construction provided even more insights on how things get done outside the box.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 over 40: Meet Sue - That was my career.  My PASSION is The Arts. As a volunteer executive director of a non-profit arts organization, I witnessed a whole other side of life.  Right brain thinking vs left brain thinking and how thought processes from both can interact and enhance goals and outcomes.  Just as with the joy of witnessing a construction project from concept to completion, witnessing the evolution of an artist and arts organization through creative beginnings to success has made life worth living.  My life experiences have taught me to look at the world from the perspective of “what can go right”?”</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40: Meet Ashley — A Story of Dedication, Boundaries, and Becoming - Ashley carries a quiet confidence — the kind that’s earned, not given. The kind that forms after years of showing up, working hard, and learning to choose yourself.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Before her session, during our inquiry call, Ashley described her life’s journey with three simple but powerful words: dedication, perseverance, and humility. Those qualities have guided her through some of the toughest and most defining years of her life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40: Meet Ashley — A Story of Dedication, Boundaries, and Becoming - When her family was young, Ashley worked two jobs and went three years without a single day off. She was determined to build stability, to create a foundation her kids could grow from. Somehow, through exhaustion and grit, she fit it all in — and now her children see firsthand what it means to work hard, stay committed, and push through even when life is demanding everything from you.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40: Meet Ashley — A Story of Dedication, Boundaries, and Becoming - She knows herself better now. She sees red flags clearly. She’s learned boundaries — a big shift for someone who naturally tends to be a people pleaser. And maybe most importantly, she’s learned how to advocate for herself.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When we planned her session, Ashley wanted photographs that reflect how far she’s come — images that feel strong, playful, outdoorsy, feminine, and true to who she is right now.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40: Meet Ashley — A Story of Dedication, Boundaries, and Becoming - Ashley is the perfect example of that. She’s still the dedicated woman she’s always been — but now she’s living with more clarity, more confidence, and a deeper sense of who she is.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Her session was a celebration of that: her resilience, her beauty, her hard-earned peace, and the story she’s still writing.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40: Meet Holly - For most of her life, Holly admits, she worried about what other people thought. Her mantra for this season, inspired by Mel Robbins, is “Let them.” Let them have their opinions. Let them do what they do. “I can’t keep functioning under what other people think,” she says. “Time is our most precious asset.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>That clarity has become her peace — a calm confidence rooted in boundaries, self-acceptance and the freedom to simply be herself.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40: Meet Holly - A Life in Full Color Holly laughs about branching out from her usual wardrobe. “My husband wanted me to wear pink, so I bought some pink clothes,” she says. “If I wear dark colors, I won’t stand out.” Now, her closet includes three red dresses — and when she wears them, she feels like a rockstar.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Her new love of color reflects her vibrant, multifaceted life. Holly has broken 38 bones, earned a second-degree black belt, and once taught self-defense. She’s been skydiving, ziplining, rappelling, paddleboarding — the kind of woman who’s lived boldly, fully, and without apology.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40: Meet Holly - The Heart of a Connector These days, Holly serves on seven different boards, including as a board president for Charlie Golf One, a nonprofit supporting veterans. She describes herself as a “connector,” someone who can rally people to come together and make things happen. “I like people,” she says simply, and it’s clear she means it. Her life has been defined in part by motherhood — raising children shaped her identity for decades — but this new chapter is about rediscovering herself. Newly remarried and blending a family of 11 children, she’s learning to embrace both structure and spontaneity. (Her planner still comes out daily — she’s traded her Franklin Planner for a notebook with “three starts and three stops” for each day.)</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40: Meet Holly - Confidence and Clarity When asked what’s most rewarding about being over 40, Holly doesn’t hesitate: “Being more comfortable in your own skin.” Her photo session was full of laughter, color, and confetti — the perfect celebration of a woman who’s learned to live life on her own terms. “ I used to think there were bad photos,” she told me, “but really, it’s just how your face looks sometimes.” That insight — simple yet profound — speaks to everything this project stands for: self-acceptance, grace, and seeing beauty exactly as it is.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40: Meet Holly - Holly was not new to being photographed. She doest it regularly for her business, but she says that this session captured her more like herself than ever before. As a photographer - that is all I could ever hope to achieve. Thank you for trusting me Holly! Holly’s portrait will be featured in the 40 Over 40 Exhibition at Studio North Collective this winter — a celebration of women embracing every chapter with power, joy, and authenticity. Stay tuned for more details on the show.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Kristen’s 40 Over 40 Portrait Experience: Finding Harmony in Healing - During our first call, Kristen described her life up to this point in three powerful words: healing, balance, and synchronicity. Her story is one of growth through adversity—navigating childhood trauma, anxiety, and depression before undergoing what she calls her “awakening” about a year and a half ago. Life seemed to unravel all at once: the end of a marriage, her father’s decline and passing, her mother’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, and the transition of her son leaving for college. In the midst of this chaos, Kristen leaned into her healing. She discovered EMDR, IFS, and books like The Body Keeps the Score, all while channeling energy and divine messages that she, as a scientific mind, once doubted. She needed to heal—fast and fully—not just to survive, but to step into the purpose she knew was waiting for her.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Kristen’s 40 Over 40 Portrait Experience: Finding Harmony in Healing - From Science to Spirit Kristen’s inner world is a dance between logic and magic. A naturally curious, scientific thinker, she also receives messages and visions that are hard to explain but impossible to ignore. Feathers show up in her path (often pointed out by her intuitive dog), numbers align in powerful ways and a sense of synchronicity seems to guide her each step of the way.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Kristen’s 40 Over 40 Portrait Experience: Finding Harmony in Healing - Embracing the Inner Child There’s a bright, childlike wonder in Kristen that feels like sunshine in human form. As a little girl, she once said she wanted to be a flower when she grew up—and in many ways, she has. She gravitates to sunflowers, daisies, and rainbow colors.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Kristen’s 40 Over 40 Portrait Experience: Finding Harmony in Healing - For her portrait session, she brought a sunny yellow sundress that she lovingly called her “sunnery dress,” a nod to her childhood self. Against a soft pink backdrop, Kristen’s portraits captured the whimsical, wise, and wondrous layers of her journey.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Kristen’s 40 Over 40 Portrait Experience: Finding Harmony in Healing - On Aging, Love, and Letting Go When asked what she finds most rewarding about being over 40, Kristen didn’t hesitate: Love. “Love is everything,” she said. For her, love is the thread that holds the healing together. Love is pink hearts, paper hearts, hands held in heart shapes. It’s learning to love her body— strong, resilient—even if it bears the signs of change and time. She calls these changes badges of honor, a reflection of a life fully lived.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Kristen’s 40 Over 40 Portrait Experience: Finding Harmony in Healing - A Portrait of Purpose Kristen’s portrait session was not just about capturing how she looks in headshots—it was about honoring how far she’s come, how deeply she feels, and how brightly she shines. We used a dark blue backdrop to reflect the depth of her journey, and paired it with soft feminine colors to echo her inner child and the energy of healing.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40 Feature: Meet Vicki - When I first connected with Vicki, one thing was very clear: she is a woman who lives life fully, joyfully, and unapologetically. At 61, she radiates a mix of excitement, happiness, and optimism that makes you want to get on the dance floor with her!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40 Feature: Meet Vicki - For over 25 years, Vicki has worked as a financial advisor, and she still loves what she does. She has grown her business, even purchasing another practice in Florida, and she speaks with confidence about the joy she finds in helping her clients reach their goals. What struck me most was how she balances her work ethic with a zest for life. Vicki is the first to admit she’s a bit of a workaholic, but she also knows the importance of celebrating, dancing, and living in the moment.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40 Feature: Meet Vicki - Dancing really is her thing—whether it’s live music, line dancing, or even a dancing app that teaches her new moves. If there’s music, she’s on the dance floor. “That’s when I’m happiest,” she told me with a laugh. It’s no surprise her session outfits included a black dress with a feathered neckline paired with her sage green cowboy hat—because, of course, we were did some dancing in the studio!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40 Feature: Meet Vicki - Beyond the dance floor, Vicki’s life is full of rich experiences. She and her husband of 30 years share a love for ballroom and swing dancing, riding Harleys, traveling (she has Bora Bora and overseas trips on her list), and spending time with their family, including four grandchildren. Her home is the kind of place where kids get to make memories with a popcorn machine, cotton candy machine, and even a snow cone machine.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40 Feature: Meet Vicki - This year brought both joy and heartache for Vicki. She lost her father in February after 61 years of marriage to her mother, a loss that caused her to reflect deeply on whether she’s truly making the most of life. Her answer was a resounding… yes!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - 40 Over 40 Feature: Meet Vicki - When I asked her how she wants to feel when she sees her portraits, her answer was simple: “Comfortable and happy.” And that’s exactly who she is—a woman grounded in her accomplishments, grateful for her experiences, and excited for what’s still ahead. “It’s just a number,” she said about age. “It’s how you’re living it.”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Vicki is a reminder that life after 40 isn’t about slowing down—it’s about embracing every moment, dancing whenever the music plays, and living with joy.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tina’s 40 Over 40 Session - Strength in Stillness</image:title>
      <image:caption>In this season of her life, strength is no longer about how much she can carry — it’s about how she intentionally chooses to set things down. Motherhood is a profound part of who she is with one daughter (13) and one son (9), Tina is navigating her own mid-life transformation while walking alongside her children in theirs. There’s a richness to this stage, a layering of experience as she learns to hold space not just for her family, but for herself. Her partnership is a true team, built on presence and mutual respect, with a shared understanding that each person is allowed to simply be.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tina’s 40 Over 40 Session - After losing her own mother recently — a woman who was a fitness instructor, a joyful mover, a caregiver — Tina strives to live with more presence. That looks like slowing down, letting go of perfectionism, and choosing daily to ask, what is most important right now? For her, that’s time around the table. It’s being outside, cuddling up with her kids, dancing in the kitchen, breathing in the woods. It’s the soft strength of self-awareness.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Tina’s 40 Over 40 Session - As a physician, Tina holds space for others in moments of vulnerability. She sees the full human in front of her — not just symptoms, but stories. Not just illness, but identity. Her work is healing, whole-person care. She is a safe harbor for those who need to be seen, validated, and supported. And yet, her greatest work might be the quiet, internal healing — learning to offer that same care to herself.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Tina’s 40 Over 40 Session - This season of life is about growth for Tina. Growth through movement. Growth through stillness. She’s discovering strength that has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with being rooted — in her body, in her presence, in the dance between softness and power. Movement as joy, not obligation.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The legacy of her mother pulses through her — music, rhythm, aerobics, bold  lipstick. She’s the first girl on the dance floor, the one who moves with her whole heart, the one whose children come to her as a place to land.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tina’s 40 Over 40 Session - We created this portrait experience to reflect all of that. Botanical. Earthy. Woodsy. A little glamorous. A little nostalgic. A little silly. A celebration of navy and green and that perfect swipe of red lipstick. A celebration of not taking up less space, but learning to own it — fully.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Strength, for Tina, is not about powering through. It’s about standing still — and knowing she is enough.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tiffany’s 40 over 40 Session - A few years ago, Tiffany and I met through Traverse Connect when we both served as Ambassadors — but I didn’t really get to know her until she joined my 40 Over 40 Portrait Project</image:title>
      <image:caption>When I asked her the three words that described what she’s accomplished at this stage in life, she said:</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Tiffany’s 40 over 40 Session - “Independence. Acceptance. ENOUGH.” “ I’m enough — the things I’m doing are enough. I don’t have to be all the other things.” YES. That kind of self-knowing is powerful.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Tiffany’s 40 over 40 Session - During her session, we celebrated her love of gardening — a passion she shared with her dad who had passed about a year earlier. And then she showed up in a red suit — something she never would’ve worn in the past — bold, vibrant, radiant. She later wore it to a Christmas party and rocked it.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Tiffany’s 40 over 40 Session - When we sat on the studio couch reviewing her images, it didn’t feel like business anymore — it felt like two old friends catching up. And I left thinking: I want to hang out with her more.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is what this project has gifted me — not just beautiful portraits, but real, soul-deep connection with the most inspiring women.</image:caption>
