OUR STUDIO ONLY PHOTOGRAPHS REAL WOMEN JUST LIKE YOU!
EVERY TRANSFORMATION BEGINS THE MOMENT YOU DECIDE TO SAY YES TO YOURSELF.
01
FEELING INVISIBLE OR OVERLOOKED
Do you feel less seen as the years pass, as if your stories and beauty have slipped from the spotlight? You are not alone. Many women over 40 long to be recognized and celebrated for who they are today. This experience gives that visibility back.
02
TRANSITIONING LIFE STAGES
Children grow, careers shift, and our bodies and priorities change. It is natural to feel uncertain and hopeful all at once. A portrait session becomes a moment to rediscover your evolving self and to be reminded that your best years are still ahead.
03
PUTTING YOU FIRST AGAIN
You give so much to everyone else that your own desires can fade into the background. It is time to feel cherished and vibrant again. This day is for you, with care, styling, and guidance that put your needs first.

For me, this isn’t just about taking beautiful photos.
It’s about giving women over 40 the chance to see themselves again, the strength, the softness, the beauty that life’s responsibilities sometimes make us forget.
I’ve photographed hundreds of women who said the same thing before their session: “I’m not photogenic.”
But when they saw their portraits, something shifted.
They stood taller.
They smiled differently.
They finally recognized the woman everyone else sees.
I created this experience because I know how powerful that moment can be.
You’ve spent your life showing up for everyone else, this is your time to show up for you.
My goal is that when you leave, you don’t just love your photos…
You love yourself a little more.
– Anya Day

So many women tell me, “I’m not photogenic.”

They stand taller. They smile differently.

You’ve spent your life showing up for everyone else.
This is your time to show up for you.
My hope is that you don’t just love your photos, you love yourself a little more.

WHAT WOMEN ARE SAYING
WHAT WOMEN ARE SAYING
I walked away with a new perspective and attitude.
“Going on 50 something, I’m embracing the changes and paying tribute to myself. My photo shoot is my reminder of the beauty I possess. Anya is an incredible photographer and coach. I’m that girl that hates to have her picture taken and she helped change that for me. She was able to get me to forget about the camera and focus on just having fun. This was an incredibly positive experience. I walked away with a new perspective and attitude. I feel beautiful.”
A reminder of another part of me that I almost forgot.
“I’m 74, a divorced mom, grandma and cancer survivor. I’d seen some boudoir photos of younger women, and I wasn’t sure if I was too old, but if not now, then when? I had never done this before, didn’t think I photographed well, and was more than concerned about every shortcoming, wrinkle and scar that I saw in myself. On our call Anya was very friendly and easy to talk to about my hopes and fears. During the shoot I felt beautiful, sexy and confident. She captured a side of me that is me, but not always seen, and reminds me that I am also that woman every day. I will treasure my album forever as a reminder of another part of me that I almost forgot, and am so happy to have found.”
Working with Anya was actually empowering.
“I’m 47 and I hate photos of myself and always shy away from the camera. I have to say that working with Anya was actually empowering! I spoke to her a few times before my shoot – and she helped me pick outfits and think through what I wanted. I was nervous, excited, terrified…But the day was fantastic! and my photos were AMAZING!”
