Amber: “I struggled with getting older.” – Annapolis Boudoir

This is Amber on turning 40. Thank you for spending your birthday with us Amber. We hope to see you again soon!

I recently turned 40 and struggled with the thought of getting older. I never imagined I would be turning 40 single and having no children. I just knew that by the time I turned 35 I would be married, own a home and be a mother. None of the above happened. I just looked up one day and I was 39.

It was as if January 1st of this year came and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve always been a confident person but the thought of not being where I thought I would be by this age was a tough pill to swallow. But God works in mysterious ways. My best friend noticed a change in me and set me down for a good heart to heart. I explained to her that I wasn’t in a good place and struggling with turning 40.

As I’m sure you know your friends can often see what you don’t see in yourself. She opened my eyes to all the other things I have accomplished. I’m single but there is nothing wrong with that. She reminded me that I’ve always refused to settle.

She also reminded me that I love to travel and being able to move and do things on my own time. This would be very difficult to do with children. In this moment it was as if light bulb turned on in my head. I realized that I am living in the moment that God had planned for me. I was comparing myself to what and where others thought I should be in life.

I recognized that before now I was very happy with how my life was going. I was allowing the pressures and expectations of certain family members to dictate how I felt about myself or what I should be doing with my life. It is still sometimes a daily struggle to remind myself that I am enough. That where I am stand at this very moment is enough. After reading about the women Over 40 project I knew that this was something I had to participate in.

Turning 40 is a blessing and just another opportunity to be the best woman I can be.

I knew that Veronica was the photographer for me when I took a scroll through her website and I could actually FEEL the energy from all the images and I knew that she meant every word written on it.  And on my session day, everything that I thought had been confirmed.  I'll be 50 this year and after having 6 children, it was time to celebrate this body and embrace all the sensuality it offers. Thank you for helping me fall in love with myself all over again.

I had so much fun during my shoot and intially I had booked a shoot to surprise my husband-to-be but I felt like such a bad ass during that shoot, I left feeling sexier than ever and when I saw my photos, my jaw dropped. I could NOT even take myself seriously (in the best way). I can't stop looking at my photos! Thank you, Veronica!

I can't stop looking at my photos!

This was my second shoot but the first in her new studio. Veronica has done it again! I got to work with her on my birthday this time around and had another great experience. I felt so comfortable with her and completely trusted her vision. I love the new space (especially the exposed brick) and can’t wait for the next one!

Veronica has done it again!

This is something I have always wanted to do but never got around to it. I'm 52 now. I wanted to celebrate where I am in my life. I have been single for the last 5 years and for this first time, I have become truly comfortable with my body and all of my curves. I decided this is the perfect time in my life for this photo shoot.

I'm 52 now.
