Meet A. Morini

Angelika, a vibrant 44-year-old and recently published author known as A. Morini, embraces her age with grace and a deep appreciation for the wisdom that comes with it. When she decided to participate in the "40 Over 40" photoshoot, her initial intention was to capture an author photo for her novel, "Do You See Me Now?". However, she also hoped that I could capture the parts of herself that often get lost in the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Conflicted yet hopeful, Angelika wasn't looking for a princess-like transformation or widespread recognition. Instead, she yearned for us to see and capture the entirety of her being.

The resulting photos exceeded her expectations. Just days later, life presented Angelika with a new challenge that demanded all her energy, making it easy to forget the woman smiling back at her from the photos. It was a stark reminder of how easily self-care can be pushed aside.

However, the photos became a powerful anchor, a tangible link to a moment when she felt completely herself. They represent more than just a beautiful woman; they depict a strong woman who knows herself and can embrace all facets of her personality, whether she's dressed up or facing a challenge head-on.

Angelika's experience beautifully mirrors the central theme of her novel: "How can I finally see myself?". The photoshoot became a profound answer to that question, reminding her of her own multifaceted beauty and strength.
