Our beautiful roaming nomad, Joanne!

When Joanne called me about having her portraits taken, she said she was only available within the next week. I was so intrigued as to why - she and her husband, in their 'retirement' live the nomad life and travel all over as pet sitters. She lives out of her suitcase and loves living so lightly while bringing joy to her pet babies, her family and her friends.
Joanne I am so thankful I got to photograph you, show you your beauty and meet your mom over zoom!

And I love what you told me after you received your portraits: that you began taking care of YOU and signed up for a course to develop your intuitive soul. That makes my heart sing!! and brings tears to my eyes, especially when you thanked me again for providing this great opportunity for you to actually SEE yourself at 64. 😍 I'm so proud that you said yes to you! Keep on seeing you, Beautiful!

I am so excited to introduce you to some of the most resilient, beautiful, badass, kind, and courageous women from our first round of 40 over 40.

First up is Tina, who came to us already so full of joy! What a gift it was to capture her light! These are Tina's own words about her experience.

"Last November, I hesitantly participated in a 40 over 40 photoshoot and today was the mini gallery exhibition hosted by my amazing photographer, Robin Terhune! What a beautiful day and space to celebrate so many phenomenal women, their unique essence captured in photographs, and their individual stories. So incredibly proud of myself for stretching outside of my comfort zone and elated to be among the first 40 women to participate. I also made a friend in the process. Thank you, Robin, for your time and hard work, your guidance from wardrobe to poses, for the laughter and ease of the day, Taylor Swift music 🫶, and for truly capturing “me” in my photos. (Also loved how Manda did my hair and makeup!) I can’t speak highly enough about Robin and this experience!!"

It was my pleasure to capture these beautiful images.

Thank you so very much to Tina for sharing her story and her light with all of us.

Are you ready for your own powerful photoshoot? Cause we are ready for you! See comments for more info and to book a call, I'd love to chat and learn about you!

when i started my 40 over 40 portrait experience i dreamed of creating magical portraits with women in my studio, showing them how i see their beauty after finally seeing mine and guiding them toward their vision and showcasing the sides of them they wanted to see.

what began happening was the connection i was having with each one, friendships being born from the minute we began chatting on the phone.

i started creating once-a-month get togethers to discover beauty and hang out and just have fun amidst our busy lives.

on saturday we celebrated these women and their portraits in a gallery exhibition celebration. it was beyond incredible. being all together in this stunningly beautiful setting - i have no words except thank you. thank you for blessing this world with your beauty and joy for life. lets do this again!

i have started my next round of 40 women and i would love to meet you! see the link in the comments to find out more or simply join my vip ladies to see behind the scenes and each womans portraits, and maybe we'll see you at the next get together!

you are beautiful. you are a light in this world. we'd love you to join us!

Sarah Sullivan has been a radio dj and personality in new hampshire, AND nationwide with her own country music show as well as classic rock. as you saw in an earlier post she is back on live radio in the 'shark tank' with her own weekday show from 6am-2pm on 102.1 + 105.3 --- which can be heard worldwide on the station's app! needless to say, she embraced her personality and love of rock music during this shoot with her rolling stones jacket, the love of her aunt's exquisite coat, and the fuzzy pink fun!

Nancy needed a headshot and images for her fitness and dance studio, and brought a gown that she never got to wear for a NYE party during shut down. We honored these sides of her during this photoshoot. She has an incredible story to tell, one of triumph and strength. Because of the changes that happened from her experience of having shingles spread from her ear across her face, which caused paralyzation, she has endured surgeries and ongoing treatment and looks so incredible. She now advocates that everyone needs their shingles shot to prevent anything like this from happening to them. she was so nervous to have her portraits taken. And is now so happy to have walked through her fear and feeling confident to put herself out there again. We need your light, Nancy! You bring joy and strength to those you touch! see link to her dance and fitness studio in the comments 💃

Karen you are radiant and beautiful, and a powerhouse! After Karen sold her business, she came to my studio to celebrate this major change in her life. She started working her sold business as a teenager, worked her way up and ran it like a BOSS. She's also very involved in the Ayer Rotary, and was president for a time. Looking to be in a more part time role, she was one of the first to respond to my offer to have her portraits done. She's given so much of herself to her kids and business and community and wanted photos she 'actually liked of herself'. Well, as soon as she received her portraits, she posted a bunch publicly and told me 'I think I like them. :) ' Yes, and after over a hundred comments, raving about how beautiful she looks, I think everyone else does, too. 😍💗✨. I still have spots left - see the comments and book a call with me. We have the BEST time creating images that you love!

I love playing with new ideas in lighting and posing and expression - there are so many parts of us to express and witness about ourselves. and I love the idea that personal brand photography is all about YOU. And its not just for business. Its for your life.

Hey, I love a great location, I love all the props....but our friends, family, ideal clients, basically EVERYONE in your life wants to know the true you, not just what you do or where you are in the world.

This is my evolution in personal branding. This is why I am photographing 40 women over 40.

YOU ARE YOUR BRAND.

Being a women over 40 myself, I've noticed that we've lost ourselves to all our roles.

I want you to meet you.

In the self discovering work we do and building up to your photoshoot, and then the creation of art and expressions we create in your portraits, you will find that YOU are the most fascinating discovery you will ever make.

And as a byproduct, those attracted to you will appear. Your life elevates.

And heck - who doesn't want a celebrity style portrait? You'll feel like one every time you see your portraits. Its pretty freakin' cool and oh-so-magical.

I'm curious, what do you see in these brand photos I took of myself this weekend? What is the essence you feel when you see each one individually or together as a whole?

If you'd like to learn about the 40 over 40 special that is running in my studio, please see the comments for the link to read all about it and sign up for a call. I would love to learn all about you!

Sarah took this photo of me while I was experiencing being on the other side of the camera. As a personal brand photographer I know all too well that each photo needs to suit a purpose or it is deemed useless toward helping your brand. Pretty photos are lovely and yes we should all have some to document our lives. But in building your business photographs need to communicate to your ideal clients who you are, what you're about, and what your business can do for them as well as how well you can serve them. They are looking to you as the expert and someone they can trust to help them in what they want or need. Brand photography not only grabs attention, but also helps communicate a message. I loved having gorgeous photos for my website, and loved seeing me in my best light, creating confidence and momentum toward my goals. Read Sarah's expert thoughts on this below. She is oh so wise, and her questions can get your wheels turning on how you want to plan your next photoshoot.

What goes into a branding shoot?

If you represent a business, chances are high that you will want some brand photography at some point. But the photography is just one small piece. To avoid the tragedy of having a stack unusably beautiful photos, here's some of the prep that goes into each shoot I have with my clients.

WHY- Why are we taking these photos? What is the purpose? Let's figure out why we're doing this so that we can do it successfully.

WHAT- What are we going to be saying with these photos? What story are we telling? What are we wearing? What will we be doing in these photos?

WHERE- Where are we taking these photos? Let's pick locations. And where are we sharing these photos? You'll need different considerations depending on where they are going. Website? Social media? PR bylines? Let's figure out how many you need vertically vs horizontally, or with space to write, or what colors you'll be up against.

WHEN- When are we sharing these photos? Do we need to dress seasonally, or dress in a way that could be used at any time? When do we just need a few professional shots, and when is it time to invest in ongoing professional photography?

A big piece to successful brand photography, is being really clear and confident on what brand you are photographing. When you are clear on your brand and your message, the photo session is a snap. 📸
