Did you know about my As We Glow Older Session?

(Previously named the 40 Over 40 project) It's a project that I started last year to photograph 40 incredible women over the age of 40.

Here are some beautiful words from one of the participants Danielle N Williams JD from last summer.

"Before my photoshoot I was extremely nervous as I suffer from alopecia and I didn't know if my beauty would be revealed but I chose to trust Damaly and the process.

I have always wanted to do my photoshoot on the beach. It is a place which brings me peace and tranquility. So when Damaly said that she would meet me at 5 in the morning I was really excited but also nervous because I didn't know if the pictures would reveal my inner beauty.

I was completely wrong.

When we got there, Damaly and her assistant were very professional and on time. I was able to change into different outfits and was able to do creative things in my photoshoot that I never thought would communicate my inner beauty to the world.

During the photo shoot we laughed and we played and we smiled and we just had an overall great time. I felt at the end of the photo shoot that I had met a new friend who truly knew who I was on the inside and out.

At the end we said goodbye and I truly missed being with Damaly and her assistant because we had made such a great connection.

The images were incredible. It was the first time that I looked at my face and not my head. When you lose your hair at age 40 it really changes you. I didn't know if I would be accepted in the world or be considered a true professional. Even though I believe I am. But also the opportunity to learn how to do a smokey eye by a makeup artist and be able to communicate that on my face was amazing. I am truly excited and grateful for the experience I had.

The most important positive change in myself now that I have worked with Damaly is my confidence. I will never have hair again in my life unless I choose to wear a wig. What this photo session did was confirm the freeness I feel being bald. It also confirmed that hair is just an accessory. What I want to see was in the pictures that Damaly revealed.

I'm so happy I participated in the “As We Glow Older” project. I did this as a birthday gift to myself because I needed a boost of confidence. Damaly made me feel so special and gave me tools and skills that I can use for a lifetime. As a woman nearing fifty it was an incredible experience because it showed me that I am only getting better as I glow older."

Danielle, thank you so so much for your trust and confidence in me and the process.

I may be a bit behind schedule thanks to covid but I would love to complete this project this year and am booking for 2021. If this speaks to you and you'd like more information click here!

Danielle's makeup was done virtually with Kinshasa Hunter guidance and they both nailed it!
