The owner of Yamini’s Goddess Portraits, Yamini, has an extensive artistic background including designing fashion, painting, drawing and photography. Her current artistic passion is “photographing women over 40 as goddesses out in nature to give them a different perspective on their self image.” Yamini highlighted that she had noticed how sensitive women were about their looks at that age, and she felt compelled to encourage and empower them with beautiful, natural portraits. She chose a style unlike studio boudoir portraits, but more like who they really are with nature as a backdrop. She is publishing a book by the end of the year called “The Natural Goddess — Portraits of Extraordinary Women Over 40 in Nature,” which is composed of several Hollywood Stars.
