Bio
Mary Ann Halpin is an acclaimed photographer, speaker, and workshop facilitator. She passionately focuses her lens on women’s issues. Her first book, Pregnant Goddesshood: A Celebration of Life, Mary Ann garnered national attention for her book’s powerful images. Controversial at the time, it portrayed pregnant women as radiant and beautiful, and encouraged women to embrace and celebrate their pregnant bodies with a commemorative portrait. This book blazed the trail for the now popular "pregnant portrait." Images from Pregnant Goddesshood have been featured in LIFE Magazine. Mary Ann has appeared on television shows such as The View in “Hot Topics”, Inside Edition, Extra!, and A Baby Story where the book sparked heated national discussion.
Mary Ann has created four photography books, her second book, Fearless Women: Midlife Portraits, which contains compelling black and white portraits of women holding swords who have dared to approach aging with passion and fearlessness. This book features celebrities such as Joni Mitchell, Cybill Shepherd, Erin Brockovich, and many other extraordinary women. The book was featured on The Today Show.
Continuing with the “Fearless” theme, Mary Ann Halpin was a speaker on the “Fearless Women Panel” at eWomenNetwork International Business Convention, Dallas, 2008-2010. Having photographed over 150 women at the conferences, Mary Ann created her photo/essay book, Fearless Women, Fearless Wisdom, portraits and stories of forty amazing women who have transformed their life-challenges into life-triumph. These courageous women are mirrors and examples for us all. Their stories show us that in order to create conscious change within, we must face our fears and walk through them. Their portraits are visual reminders of their personal courage.
