Marta

We recently had a very special photoshoot with Marta Herman, an accomplished, award-winning opera singer. We first photographed Marta 10 years ago, so in a way this was our anniversary.

Looking at these photos of Marta as well as the ones from our previous photoshoots, I see her story as a woman and as an opera singer. It makes me emotional to see her journey through life as she’s going through different stages, as she’s changing and growing, stepping into her power, getting to know herself more and more, becoming more beautiful in the true sense of this word every single year.⁣

Stephanie

It was lovely to capture Stephanie. This photoshoot was a gift to herself.

During Stephanie’s Reveal, I mentioned how interesting I found it that her that her eyes were different colors. Stephanie asked me what I meant… Can you believe she didn’t actually realize her eyes were different colors?

Stephanie’s nurturing nature means a lot of her life has been about caring for others. We both had a great laugh while agreeing it was HIGH TIME she did something for herself.

Enjoy these highlights.

How my favourite artwork inspired me to create art for my clients

I have this beautiful artwork in my home (photo below) that I absolutely adore. To me, it represents the power of a woman and how she’s this incredible part of our world - nourishing, loving yet ever powerful.⁣

⁣I’ve always been a big sketching enthusiast, so I got inspired to create similar artwork for my clients. Artwork you can display in your home where you can see it every day as a reminder of how beautiful yet powerful you are. Whether it’s a gallery wall in your hallway, a photo in your office, on your night stand or next to your wardrobe, it’s a daily confidence boost.

⁣Let's immortalize your beauty, allowing it to blossom in the warmth of your home, reminding you of the incredible strength and grace that resides within. Let’s create a piece of art that will be held dear for generations to come.

What do you love about yourself?

I love that I am a driven individual that thrives in change. I excel at giving myself challenges and then setting plans to achieve them. I am a firm believer in change for the good, whether it’s in the small ways in which we may organize a desk or our closets, to the big things such as how do I parent my kids, how can I become a more giving member of my community, how can I change for the better. I also love my sense of humour and ability to bring levity to situations. Life and work can get heavy, it’s great to get through these times of heaviness with levity at the right times.

How do you define beauty at this point in your life? What makes you feel beautiful?

Beauty at this point in my life is having grey hair, fine lines and wrinkles, scars, etc. that show a life that is well lived.

How do you nurture your confidence?

I nurture my confidence with physical activity, I always feel better and stronger after a workout. I also challenge myself to do things that I would normally not do or even avoid. That way when I accomplish them, it is like score one for Karen!

How did your photos help you with your confidence?

Seeing myself in the photos helped me appreciate just how good I really do look at 50! I was proud of myself for pushing myself outside my comfort zone. I realized I actually have a pretty smile after all which is something I had been self conscious about for years.

Why are you proud of yourself at this point in your life?

At times I have to remind myself that I have many accomplishments to be proud of; I have always been financially stable and self dependent, I am a very successful Mom of two incredible kind and loving teenagers, I have overcome so many emotional and heartbreaking challenges....I am not ok with being a survivor, I am a THRIVER!
I am so proud of the relationships I have maintained for 3 plus decades and the way my sphere describes me as a friend; loyal, honest, empathetic, loving, selfless, supportive, creative, adventurous, and fun!

Before this photo shoot, when was the last time you did something special for yourself that you desired?

This photoshoot was truly the first thing I have ever done on my own for me that was fun and exciting and enjoyable. The whole experience was amazing. I want to do this again in my 50’s!
