Menopause in women is the period of hormonal change at the end of the fertile phase of life.
Doctors divide this period into the perimenopause, the time phase shortly before the absence of menstruation, which begins at the age of 40. This is followed by menopause, the time of the last menstrual period, which is followed by no bleeding for at least 12 months. It is followed by postmenopause.
I am 41 years old and I am in the period before menopause.
A year ago I unexpectedly became a mother for the second time, this time in a steady partnership. Only now I want to pursue my passion and become self-employed as a photographer. There is a lot happening right now.
Because I am in contact with many women my age, I get to know their themes and life phases. These are so different, from the last possibility of a pregnancy desired from the heart or the surprising not desired pregnancy, over the first bad diagnoses of physical and psychuschen illnesses, separation and divorce, but also self-determination, empowerment and a big topic, sexuality. At this age we have been able to get to know each other better and know what we want.

I am very happy that I was able to capture and share this phase of the lives of these women.
