Patti Perez's Empowering Birthday Gift to Herself: A Photoshoot
I'm absolutely thrilled to share my experience photographing Patti Perez's 40-over-40 portrait sessions in my photography studio in Smithsburg. Let me tell you, she truly rocked her shoot and looked stunning from start to finish—Patti has aged like a fine wine! At first, she was a bit nervous, but she quickly felt right at home in front of the camera, and it showed in every single shot we captured. Her confidence shone through so beautifully, resulting in some gorgeous images that perfectly capture the essence of who she is as a person. Her confidence and poise during the photo session were truly inspiring.
Embracing the Power of Middle Age
During our 40-over-40 portrait session, I asked Patti what she enjoys about this stage of life or is looking forward to. And you know what she said? She said that her middle-aged years and into her fifties have given her the power to make decisions that make her happy without worrying about anyone's opinion. Isn't that awesome? She is finally able to do things for herself and her family without any guilt or pressure from others. And not just that, but she has also learned how to say no and prioritize her well-being over external obligations. Talk about empowerment! I'm so proud of Patti for embracing this time with such grace and confidence.
"I think what I like most about my middle-aged years and into my fifty years is being able to make decisions that make me happy and not being so worried about everyone else's opinion. I’m enjoying doing things for my family and finally being able to say no to other people and not accepting every obligation."
The Inspiration Behind the 40-over-40 Portrait Sessions
Now, you might wonder what inspired Patti to be a part of the 40 over 40 portrait sessions. Well, just like most women, Patti doesn't do a lot of things for herself. It's always family first and then work. Being self-employed, she has put so much effort into building her business that it often feels like there's no time left for her. “Well, like most women, I don't do a lot of things for myself. It’s always my family first and then my work. As someone self-employed, I put so much effort into building my business that sometimes it feels like there's no time left for me.” But when she heard about the 40 over 40 project, she thought, "Why not do something special for myself?" With her birthday just around the corner, it was the perfect excuse to treat herself to a little birthday present by capturing this beautiful moment through these stunning photos. It's not every day that we get to celebrate ourselves and our milestones, especially when we reach a certain age. But Patti took charge of her own celebration and decided to freeze this moment in time by participating in this portrait session. How cool is that?
I loved that Patti chose to have this portrait session close to her birthday and embrace herself at 53 and truly celebrating her journey. I feel so honored to have been a part of capturing such an important moment in her life. The 40-over-40 portrait sessions have been an incredibly meaningful experience not only for me but for the women I photograph too. It reminds us all how important it is to care for not only those around us but also ourselves at any age.

“I felt really prepared. Diana sends instructions ahead of time, so you know what to do to get ready, what to bring, what to do the day before, the day of, and she makes you feel really comfortable while you're getting your photos taken.” - Patti Perez
“Do something for yourself. It’s the best thing that you can do. And even if you feel like it's going to be uncomfortable or it's kind of out of your element. This is the age where we can do what we want and not feel like we need anybody else's approval. So do something you're not comfortable doing.”
