Now is the time

These 40 over 40 photoshoots are designed specifically for women. They are all about celebrating the beauty and strength of women.

We're on a mission to showcase that women matter just as much as anyone else, and embracing self-care and self-love isn't just acceptable, it's essential!

And let me tell you, it's not about being vain, no! It's about recognizing your intrinsic worth! These photoshoots are your chance to finally prioritize yourself. And it's liberating! 

These photoshoots are your golden opportunity to finally put yourself first. Take Jill, for example. She realized it was the perfect time to do it because her son was off to college. "I was newly an empty nester. It was a year to do things for me."

Question:

If you could give your younger self advice, what would you say?

Answer:

Always trust your gut!

I always love encouraging women who join the 40 over 40 portrait experience to first have the photoshoot in my Granville Studio.

And since they already look amazing with their "camera ready" hair and makeup professionally styled, I ask if they want to add family members they love, pets or different kinds of photography. They think of ways they can use their images that might benefit them like include headshots or if they have a business; create branding images they'll use for their website, social media or billboards.

Jill was able to include her son because his college is close by and we even added her two dogs at a park close to her home.
