With age comes beauty, elegance, wisdom, and grace.
FOR 2025, I'M CELEBRATING 40 WOMEN OVER 40 WITH SPECIALTY PORTRAIT SESSIONS THAT BEAUTIFULLY CAPTURE YOU.
For so many of us, hitting 40 can feel like a pivotal moment in our lives. You start to reflect on your life and become more in tune with your purpose, self-awareness, and love. I started this project to help you take time to appreciate the beautiful woman you've become, inside and out. Because I believe growth is something to celebrate. No matter what stage in life you are currently...you are special. Join me for a photo session designed just for you, at my New Port Richey, Florida portrait studio.
The 40 over 40 portrait session is an invitation for women in their 40's, 50's, 60's & beyond to invest in self-love and steal the spotlight - with the best photo experience of your life.
Hurry! I only have room for 40 women! Come join me!
FAQs
WHO CAN TAKE PART IN THIS PROJECT?
Anyone 40 and over is invited! So you can be 40, 50, 60, 70, 80+ or anything in between! This experience is an exciting and indulgent portrait experience custom tailored and focused on you! You are so worth it!
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 40 OVER 40 PROJECT?
The participation fee is $400. This fee holds your date for your portrait session and allows us to book the professional hair and makeup artist.
It also covers the design & styling consultation, one beautiful 8x10" matted print of your choice plus the digital, and inclusion in the special edition 40 over 40 portrait magazine.
WHERE DOES THE SESSION TAKE PLACE?
All portrait sessions take place at my private studio in New Port Richey, Florida.
WHAT DAYS DO YOU HAVE AVAILABLE FOR THIS PROJECT?
Our sessions take place weekdays and weekends and are strictly by appointment. Availability is first come, first serve. During your consultation, Naomi will share available dates and make sure to find an opening that works for you.
TELL ME ABOUT THE PORTRAIT MAGAZINE?
I'm a big believer in the printed product and I wanted some way of commemorating this experience for all our participants. Each participant will get a page or spread with their image and an excerpt of their story.
WHY ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS PROJECT?
I've always loved photographing women - creating beautiful portraits of real everyday women is my passion! I love watching a woman fall in love and rediscover herself and I am honored to be part of the process.
Society hasn't always been kind to women over 40. It's like an invisible curtain call where one moves from being seen to being unseen. Women aren't allowed to grow old gracefully in the same way men are and I believe that's a huge shame.
I am inspired by women over 40 who have freed themselves from society's expectations and are simply living their best life! I want to share these stories to inspire women of all ages and I'm excited to be going on this adventure with you!
I'D LOVE TO DO THIS BUT I'M WORRIED I'M NOT VERY PHOTOGENIC!
Don't worry - so many women I've worked with feel this way. But it's not your job to be photogenic! It's my job as your photographer to help you feel comfortable so you look & FEEL amazing! I am very experienced with working with women of all ages, shapes, and sizes and I can help you look amazing in your photographs! You just need to turn up with your favorite outfit - I promise I'll take care of the rest!
WHAT DO I WEAR?
You can wear up to 4 outfits in your portrait session. I always suggest going for a range. Options include but aren't limited to, casual, personal branding, flirty, fun, sexy, and even full glam. You can wear anything from jumpsuits to ballgowns. This session is about photographing you the way YOU want and sometimes need to be seen.
DO I NEED TO WEAR MAKEUP?
Short answer: Yes!
Long answer: Makeup is important to helping balance skin tones, hide those under eye bags and help your eyes pop. We absolutely believe you should look like yourself! So this is you on your very best day when the skin and hair gods align to help you look your absolute best!
Our professional makeup artist can offer everything from a "no makeup" makeup look to full glam. We'll make sure you love your makeup before we take a single photo.
WHAT IF I BOOK MY DATE AND PAID MY $400 BUT THEN HAVE TO RESCHEDULE?
While we hope this doesn't happen - we totally get that life happens! I do book my hair & makeup artist's time to be at your portrait session. So, you are allowed one reschedule with at least 2 weeks notice. If we have less than 2 weeks notice (or this is the second time you are rescheduling), this is a $100 rescheduling fee.
HOW ARE YOU CHOOSING WHO TAKES PART IN THE 40 OVER 40 PROJECT?
This is an open project and every woman over 40 is invited to take part. Every woman is beautiful and we want to celebrate every definition of that beauty. Therefore, we operate on a first come, first serve basis.
If you are interested or have more questions, get in touch with Naomi to answer all your questions, pay your $400 participation fee, and you are booked for your session.
The only limit is that we only have 40 spaces available. Once we fill the spaces, we will create a waitlist of interested women. However, there are no guarantees that we will be running this next year; so, I definitely recommend booking in for 2025's campaign if you are interested.
WHEN WILL THE MAGAZINE BE PUBLISHED?
The 40 over 40 project is for all of 2025. Once we have photographed our 40 women, the magazine will be designed and sent to print. Make sure we have your address so we can mail your copy to you!
