First Steps

Written By M.Dayton

Getting my head on straight.

2025 was to be my retirement decision year. I “thought” that decision would be mine to make, but life had other plans. So, in June of this year, my time with a firm I’d been a part of for nearly eight years came to and end, propelling me into a life in retirement I wasn’t quite ready for.

What to do now? How do I get my head on straight and move forward after my job was taken from me?

After much thought and self reflection … reinvention became the new focus. Taking what I’ve learned over the past 30 years as a Creative and using it for a NEW future. My focus now is giving our senior members a voice they may not have experienced previously. A voice that speaks their language in a way that showcases their beauty and the “life equity” they’ve earned.

Modern portraits for a classic clientele. Taking what I’ve learned from publishing, art direction, and professional lighting to create images showcasing the beauty and stature of folks 50 and up.

We deserve this.
