"This is Fantasy Life" - Los Angeles Transformational Beauty Photographer

More than half a year ago, I shared Christina’s passing. I’ve finally gathered enough courage to go through her behind-the-scenes footage.

My clients say the most unexpected things during our photo shoot. In Christina’s case, she said “this is fantasy life” only second look into our session.

This video is far from being polished and fancy. It is all raw and real. What matters to me is what it does to your heart. It put a smile on my face. I hope it does you as well.

I’m photographing 40 women 40s, 50s, 60s+. Join me for a one-of-a-kind experience, including, but not limited to, professional hair & makeup, personal fashion styling, and your own magazine-style photo shoot. You'll be featured in my upcoming gallery exhibition and celebration.

Fallen Leaves, Dancing Lives - Los Angeles Transformational Beauty Photographer

I’ve been surrounded by an aura of sadness lately. Was it the longer shadows that the slanting rays of sun are creating on the ground? Is it the chilled temperatures brought on by darkness? Could it be the recent passing of Christina?

Especially Christina’s passing?

It’s not the first time that I cried when my clients leave this world. I was overwhelmed by the fact that there was no official goodbye. I was also unfortunately reminded, again, that I did not have as much time with them as I so ignorantly thought, although they clearly had serious illnesses. Yes, I said “again”, because it reminded me of how Polly had passed when I still had an email from her in my inbox to reply to.

As I’m inevitably adding on tree rings to my life, I have finally waken up to the fact that I’m running out of time creating legacy.

I thank my clients for allowing me the privilege to experience lives enriched with deeply textured stories. It is with profound gratitude that I acknowledge the role each one played in shaping not only my artistic journey but also my perspective of life's fragility.

I will slowly work to share the work that Christina and I created together. I may cry. And I could smile, and even laugh looking at the footage from our photo session…

Until I surface again, I wanted to share this quote:

“Even those fallen leaves dance, on the musical wind cadence.”
— Anoushka Tyagi

Happy Mother's Day (2023) - Los Angeles Custom Portrait Photographer

When I saw this sculpture by Antonello Gagini, I was deeply touched by the baby’s joy in the company of his mom, who caresses him with her gentle love.

In my opinion, there are as many types of mother/children relationship/interactions out there as there are mothers. I’m not interested in promoting religions or their practices here.

For all the moms that show love in your own unique ways, I simply wanted to wish you a happy and memorable Mother’s Day!
