Women’s empowerment portrait session in Northern New Jersey studio
A CELEBRATION OF WOMEN · 2025

Meet yourself with a brand new kind of acceptance.

Fifty women. Fifty portraits. One photographer turning 50.

I'm turning 50 this year, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than to photograph 50 amazing women like you. When I say I would love to photograph you, I mean it with my full heart. This experience is a trust fall. And I will catch you.

50 to 50: A Women’s Portrait Project in Northern New Jersey

I would love to photograph you and invite you to meet yourself with a brand new kind of acceptance.

Meet Your Photographer: Merry Fitzpatrick

Womens Portrait Photographer

Hi, I’m Merry!

For years, I’ve been passionate about helping women reconnect with themselves, celebrate their beauty, and feel empowered to live authentically. This passion came from my own story of growth, transformation and love.

You are perfect as you are. Nothing to become. Nothing to prove. Just presence.

A few years into my photography journey, I discovered I was being called to something deeper… to photograph women exactly as they are. Not the version they think the world wants to see.

Turning 50 feels like an invitation to go all in on that calling. Photographing 50 women this year isn't just a project — it's a celebration of every woman who has ever wondered if she was enough. You are. And I want to show you.

— Merry

The 50 to 50 Celebration

More Than a Session.

At the end of this year-long project, I’ll be hosting a celebration + photo exhibit to honor all 50 women who said yes.

It will be a moment to view the portraits together, share stories, and celebrate each woman who showed up for herself and for this community.

Merry’s Process

A guided, heart-centered photography experience from start to finish:

  • 1. Connection

    Begin by filling out a quick inquiry form. I’ll follow up with all the details you need to prepare for your dream session and answer any questions along the way. Sessions are primarily on weekends, giving us space to create a relaxed, unhurried experience.

  • 2. Feeling Empowered

    From wardrobe guidance to tips for feeling at ease in front of the camera, I’ll support you every step of the way. My goal is for you to show up feeling safe, confident, and truly seen.

  • 3. Love your images

    After your session, we’ll connect over Zoom for a personal image reveal. Together, we’ll explore your portraits helping you select the images that truly reflect your story and celebrate exactly who you are right now.

WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN HERE

They were willing.

That’s where the magic is.

The way you captured me, I felt like the fire inside of me just lit up even more. I wouldn't change anything about it.

Dr. Jessie E.

I absolutely loved my final images. It's hard to put into words how much I value those moments in time being captured so beautifully.
