Portraits for Women Over 40: A Celebration of You
As women, we spend years juggling careers, caring for others, and keeping life moving. But somewhere in the mix, we often stop being visible – even to ourselves.
“This is about pressing pause, being seen, and capturing who you are – right now.”
You Are Worthy of a Portrait
Many of the women I photograph haven’t been in front of a camera since their wedding day or the last family holiday snap. The focus is usually on everyone else. This session is about you. A chance to reconnect with the person you’ve become and give her the space she deserves.
A Unique Gift For Women
What makes these sessions unique is the intentional curation. I spend time matching props and backdrops to your clothing, hair colour and skin tone. Every detail is thoughtfully chosen, dried or fresh flowers, a soft ceramic vase, or even a scarf from your wardrobe. If you have something personal you’d like to include a favourite plant, hat, or necklace I’m all for it, as long as it feels right to you.
Not About Perfection – About Realness
You don’t have to be ‘camera-ready’. You just have to be you. Together we’ll create warm, still-life-inspired images that feel honest, natural and quietly powerful, not overly posed or retouched. These portraits are keepsakes. For you, your loved ones, or both.
It’s Not Selfish. It’s Essential.
Midlife can be a time of transition. For some, it brings freedom and confidence. For others, it’s a time of reflection or even reinvention. Either way, this is your story to tell. Studies show that self-expression, creativity and being seen positively impact wellbeing, and these sessions offer just that.
Whether you’re after a unique gift idea for a friend, a birthday gift for mum or simply a moment for yourself, this portrait session offers a beautiful pause.
