THE AVY BLOG

Red lipstick confidence isn’t about beauty standards or perfection. It’s about permission. After a year filled with major milestones, travel, growth, and clarity, 2026 is the year of authentic boldness. This is an invitation for women to stop shrinking, show up confidently, and choose what they love without fear or apology.

In a world shaped by filters and AI, confidence is built by being seen. Luxury portrait photographer Amanda Van Meter Burch of Avy Productions explores the psychology behind printed portraits, family photographs, and visibility across generations. Serving The Villages and Central Florida, she shares why showing up authentically in portraits builds confidence, connection, and lasting legacy.

Elevate your brand before the year ends with tax-deductible, high-impact branding photography. A professional session not only boosts your visibility and credibility, but also pays you back through stronger marketing, better conversions, and a polished presence your audience trusts. If you’re ready to grow in 2026, this is your sign to book now.

A Thanksgiving reminder about gratitude, purpose, and releasing the expectations that weigh us down. Let’s step into peace, clarity, and grace together.

Inside Gloria’s empowerment photoshoot, we captured something deeper than beauty—transformation. Her session became a soulful reminder that every woman deserves to be seen, celebrated, and confident in the purpose God created her for.

I didn’t feel ready, but I did it anyway. This personal branding session—captured by my dear friend Adri—became Session 11 of my Self-Portrait Marathon, and it reminded me exactly why I do what I do. As I step into a new decade, navigating body changes and confidence dips, I chose to show up. Not just for myself, but for every woman who’s ever felt unphotogenic, unsure, or unseen. This is the power of getting in front of the camera—even when it feels hard.

Think having too many portraits of yourself is vain? Think again. This blog explores why loving your image is actually brave, healing, and deeply meaningful.
