+ Why are you passionate about these sessions?

I just turned 40 years old this year. I feel like we’ve been told by the media and society that once we reach this age is all “down hill” from here or that our “best years” are over. I know many women, I know you do too, over the age of 40 that are in their best years and have accumulated so much wisdom and maturity in every stage of their lives. I want to use this platform to share with the world the stories of successful, inspiring amazing women that are over the age of 40. That's why I've created these sessions.

+ I'm not photogenic though! Is that ok?

I hear this often. You need to know that you are perfect and beautiful just the way you are. My superpower is turning women of all shapes and sizes into super models through expert direction, lighting, styling & posing.

+ What will I wear?

We will go over what to wear during our consultation. You can wear up to 4 different outfits in your session. Outfits can include jeans and a top, a sun dress, a fancy cocktail dress or jumpsuit. This will be up to you! I want to photograph you based on your vision.

+ Can I refer a friend over 40 to also be a part of these photo sessions?

Absolutely. I would love to have your friends be part of this. Please share with others.

+ How are you choosing who participates?

The photo sessions are first come, first served. We only have 40 spots available. Once we hit 40 women, we will create a waitlist of interested women. Basically, if you're willing to have a phone consultation to connect with me, you pay the promotion offer price of $350, you book your date, you are over 40 (or turning 40 this year) you can be a part of the photo sessions.

+ What if I'm schedule and paid $350 session fee but need to reschedule my session?

We get it, life happens. I do book in my hair & makeup artist's time to be at your photo session. Therefore, you are allowed one reschedule at no charge. We do charge a $100 rescheduling fee. That said, hopefully this won't be an issue at all.
