I had the pleasure of creating a Lumiere session for Kate. She was vivacious, warm, and just lovely to photograph. Thank you Kate for being such a breath of fresh air.
"A 40th birthday is a milestone for anyone and this photo shoot was a way to treat myself and to capture 'me' in images that I can keep forever. Like many women who have spent the last several years raising small children, the focus has been on them. I am very blessed to feel great at 40. I have my wonderful husband, two healthy, happy children, my parents and extended family, my health, a job and our home - there really is nothing more I need or wish for. But time marches on at a very rapid rate, things change and I wanted to capture my spirit at this time in my life.
The photo shoot was really empowering and much more in many ways than I expected. I was pampered beforehand with hair, make-up and a manicure. And then Amanda was just fabulous in directing as I had no idea what to do. But soon, I felt completely relaxed and it was incredibly freeing to just enjoy being a woman. I am thrilled with the magic she weaved with these images and am so glad I did it; it was a once in a lifetime experience to indulge in and so worth it. Every woman should have a chance to feel this special! Thank you Amanda x"
When we spoke about the shoot, Kate had said she envisioned herself playing the piano in a forest. The Bermuda High School kindly let us borrow their piano. Sadly, I did not really have any forest photos, and forests in Bermuda are few and far between anyway. But with Gonzalo tearing through the island, it made finding anything remotely resembling a forest pretty tricky. This was taken at the arboretum and was really the only corner that was not completely shredded.
