This Is 47: Unapologetically Glowing

Fine Art Portraits by Brandon Watts

This wasn’t just a birthday shoot—
it was a celebration of presence, growth, and grace.

Before a single photo was taken, Jodi and I sat down for a full consultation.
We talked through every detail—wardrobe, background, hair, makeup, posing, and tone.
We weren’t chasing trends or trying to “capture youth.”
We were building something honest, refined, and entirely hers.

When she walked into the studio, she didn’t have to second-guess a thing.
She was prepared. She was confident. She was ready to be seen.

The full session resulted in a curated collection of 28 portraits, later designed into a custom photo album—a visual legacy of who she is at 47: bold, beautiful, and unapologetically glowing.

What you're seeing here is a selection of my favorite images from that day.
Not just because they’re stunning—but because they speak.
They speak to strength, to softness, to self-worth.
