For my 50th, I was photographed in New York City by the Portrait Madame herself, Alice Prenat.

I was anxious.
I didn’t lose the 5 kilos.
I tried a new beauty product and had spots on my face.
I had to drive to NYC myself, park and find a hotel.
The investment was high, hello $USD.
I was downright scared, and I know how to pose!

I was hoping Alice would see past my flaws and bring out my strengths.

OMG … those nerves melted away and I had an amazing experience. I walked out of that session feeling empowered and inspired. I even had lunch by myself in the city. Now I have images I adore. I use them in my marketing and I have a legacy box full of images I can look at when I am not feeling my best. They remind me of what an incredible woman I truly am. That wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t been photographed.

And, my kids will have these beautiful images of me in the future alongside those awful (but fun) iPhone Selfies with our dog. We need to build the legacy we want to leave.

I proved to myself I was on the right path. I am so honoured that I can give this same gift to other women that Alice gave to me.

So if you are nervous. I hear you. And I have your back!

With every Wise Women session, a $50 donation will go to The Go Girl Foundation, supporting women at risk.

Wise Women Sessions are held on limited Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 am and on limited weekends. Limited weekend sessions are available, a $200 weekend fee applies.

A portion of each session fee will go directly to the The Go Girl Foundation. The Go Girls’ purpose is for every woman to have a plan. The Go Girls Foundation supports:

• Women who are unemployed to gain employment

• Women who have experienced domestic violence to move towards independence

• Migrant women who have faced social isolation to engage in their community

• Women who have experienced homelessness to overcome their circumstances

• Women recovering from breast cancer to find a new pathway

• Women in the workplace to take on leadership roles

• Women in business grow

I personally have seen the Go Girls in action and have met many of the women the Go Girls have supported. They have changed women’s lives for the better, thus helping not only the women but also the communities they live in. In being part of this project, you are not only doing something for yourself, you are helping the Go Girl Foundation support woman who need the extra help.
