Anu booked this session one year in advance. There was so much build-up of excitement! I can't imagine how she must have felt month after month, watching me post different birthday shoots haha. But the day finally came, and I must say that it was well worth the wait!

I first met Anu when she hired me to photograph her daughter's birthday party a few years ago. Her family is the absolute cutest! When I asked her about her proudest achievement, she said, "My children. They give me purpose." I feel that so much. I don't know what I would be up to right now if it weren't for my boys. Every time I give birth, I aim to level up in life. Children truly are a blessing.

Anu saw a photo that I took during a workshop that I went to in NY. It was during Lindsay Adler's class that I learned Edge Lighting and working hands-on with color gels. We don't have the same equipment that Lindsay had, but we were still able to replicate the photo that caught Anu's eye. I can't believe this was my first time using all of this gear on a client!

I'm always a big fan of women who embrace their age. It's really just a number. Don't hide behind it!, but embrace it For her 40's, Anu looks forward to:

-Personal growth
-Spending more quality with her loved ones
-Watching her kids grow and watching their personalities develop
-More travel

My headshot was very similar to these next two shots, and I think Anu's version might be a little bit cuter. Come throouuughhh, fur coat! Anu's 40th Birthday Shoot in studio in Norwalk, CT. Black on black theme. Birthday photo shoot ideas for adult women.

Anu's advice to women who are in their 30's: "Invest in yourself. Quality over quantity. Travel and don’t rush love. You’ll know true unconditional love when you meet your children. Enjoy the ride." Amen, sister!
