Autumn is My Favorite Season - Los Angeles Transformational Beauty Photographer

The onset of the fall season always brings out a lot of emotions. The shorter day light. The crispiness in the air. The quality of light - oh yeah, the way certain shadows show up on the wall only in fall. And as a person passionate about food, the fruits loaded on trees, ready for harvest. And the smell of bakery and the heat from the oven…

If I have to describe the fall season with a couple words, “intense richness” come to mind. It’s the maturing after the jolly spring and the (sometimes) unbearable summer, the slower pace, the calmer ambiance and the depth that comes after all the ups and downs in life.

Wait, am I talking about life?

Yes, I am. When many look at the transition into fall season in life in terms of wrinkles, grey hair, weight, etc., I enjoy and appreciate the richness that this season brings in life. Like nature, the colors are more saturated, and the occasional fallen leaves bring more character.

I had the pleasure of getting to know and photographing a beautiful lady and got to show her a side of her that she didn’t know exist. As someone that used to work in a photography studio, this is the first time that she had her own portraits done. I am honored that she entrusted me to be part of her journey in this pivotal point of her life.

Now, I’m obsessed with photographing ladies in silver hair. So if you are or know someone with silver hair, send them my way (my phone or email on this page). :-)

I love fall season and I’m on a mission to show its beauty to the world.

Francesca has been dyeing her silver hair since she was 20. Coming to us was a key moment in her journey to accept her true self and discover her beauty.

As someone that used to work in a photography studio, this is the first time that she had her own portraits made. Now, her future grandchildren will see all the beautiful sides of her.

"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
