Meet Amy, a beautiful human who joined us this sum

Meet Amy, a beautiful human who joined us this summer for our "Beautiful Begins At 40" portrait project. Amy is mother to 5 beautiful and accomplished daughters, local entrepreneur and successful businesswoman.

When we began this project, we tried to convey our mission: To celebrate women who have given of themselves for much of their adult lives and have overcome whatever life has thrown their way, with a custom, magazine-style photoshoot. Our goal was to play a part in helping them rediscover themselves and see the beauty that those who love them already know and see everyday. We can't imagine conveying all of the above any better than Amy herself expressed recently, when sharing her favorite portraits from her session, taken in our Wakefield, NH studio...

"A little over a year ago I began a walk through the most painful experience of my life. I was shattered, broken, dust. I felt really UGLY. I went on an excruciating journey I did not choose, and I saw BEAUTIFUL again...God (skeptics, God is so real), my family, and a few very dear friends showed UP and held me up when I couldn’t stand. I found strength, the capacity to forgive, and a depth of love I had no idea I had, and more recently,-it’s a process-compassion for those who hurt others and who hurt me.
I have always thought scars were nice. A couple of my kids have them on their faces. I tell them they are beautiful. They mark stories of our humanness and ability to heal. Some scars you can’t see, but they are scars because the wound HEALED. I choose to wear mine well.
One night, scrolling FB, up popped an ad from Birch Blaze Studios in search of mature women for a photo project celebrating beauty in aging - women who have lived through some stuff. I was like, well, I sure qualify, and commented something like ‘totally out of my comfort zone, but I’ve been through the fire so I’m game.’ They contacted me, and I immediately felt regrets. What was I getting myself into? And yet, I gathered my courage and went, and I am so glad I did. Taylor and Kerry, this photo shoot was powerful, so symbolic of my spiritual 'seeing beautiful again.' Thank you."

Thank YOU, Amy!!
