There comes a point in life when the questions begin to change.

 

You've spent years building a career, raising a family, serving others, and creating a life. Now you're asking different questions. Who am I now? What do I want this next chapter to become? How do I make the most of the time I've been given?

The answers aren't found by doing more. They're found by intentionally creating a life that reflects who you are, what you value, and what you want to leave behind.

Celebrating Women Redefining What's Possible in the next chapter of life.

The project that changed everything.

What began as a portrait exhibition became something much bigger.

Over the course of photographing extraordinary women in midlife, I heard hundreds of stories about identity, courage, reinvention, purpose, family, loss, legacy, and the desire to make the most of this next chapter of life.

The portraits became more than beautiful artwork.

They became conversations.

Those conversations revealed a question that kept appearing again and again:

How do we make the most of the time we've been given?

The search for that answer ultimately became the foundation for Make Your Life a Masterpiece™ and The Curation Code™.

Today, the 50 Over 50 Project continues to celebrate remarkable women while reminding us that every life has a story worth honoring—and every chapter deserves to be lived intentionally.

What women like you are saying…

  • Dr. Christina Greathouse

    “Participating in the 50 Over 50 project has been a transformative, life changing experience for me. I never felt more beautiful." - at age 63! - than I felt during the shoot and upon seeing the photos. ~ Dr. Christina Greathouse

  • Jen Ohrman

    “The 50 over 50 Project is a transformational experience that has shown me so clearly, where I was playing small in my life, and gave me a safe and empowering platform to find my way back to that powerful part of myself!" ~ Jen Ohrman

  • Kelli Komondor

    “Being a part of the 50over50 Project has been a life-changing experience. Gathering 50 women for a common purpose isn't easy, but Tracy has succeeded. Her vision is much broader than a beautiful portrait - it's a movement!” ~ Kelli Komondor

  • Michelle Chenn

    “I thought it was just going to be a portrait session... I had no idea it would be so transformational. Tracy has a way of pulling out who you really are. It’s one of the best investments I’ve made since turning 50. Call Tracy. You won't regret it.” ~ Michelle Chenn

  • Sherri Frontino

    "This was the first thing that I did for myself after empty nest set in and I’m so glad I did! I had spent so many years taking care of others and putting their needs before mine, and this experience was the opening of me finding and being me again. I’ve learned to embrace my 50’s as a new beginning rather than an ending." ~ Sherri Frontino

  • Kim Adley

    "My experience with the 50 over 50 project was like a fun therapy session where I was made to feel comfortable , valued and beautiful. The finished photographs were so empowering. I looked at one of them and said , "Who is this powerful woman? " and it was me. What a gift this has been for me. I highly recommend it." ~ Kim Adley

  • Linda Long

    “After battling cancer and other health issues I allowed myself to admit I deserve this treat. Tracy made me feel so comfortable and beautiful again. What I didn't expect was the camaraderie that has developed with the other ladies of 50 over 50 which has been a true blessing." ~ Linda Long

Meet Tracy

For more than thirty years, my work has explored one enduring question:

How do we make the most of the time we've been given?

From anthropology and museum collections to portraiture, legacy projects, and the Masterpiece Life framework, each chapter has led to the same belief:

A meaningful life doesn't happen by accident. It is intentionally curated.

Today, Villa Montarti brings those ideas together through portraits, legacy, education, and extraordinary experiences designed to help you make your life a masterpiece.

“I want to live a life of meaning. I don’t want to come to the end of my life and realize I invested in all the wrong things.”

— Greg McKeown, author ESSENTIALISM
