What if you could slip back into your wedding dress… not for the vows, but for you?
Imagine stepping in front of the camera, not as a bride, but as the incredible woman you’ve become since that day. The strength in your eyes, the softness in your smile, the story written in every curve and crease of that gown... this time, it’s not about tradition. It’s about transformation.
These Vogue-inspired portraits are a celebration of who you are now... elegant, confident, powerful. Let’s create editorial-style images that feel timeless and stunning, honoring your journey and your beauty in a way that feels cinematic and unforgettable.
Because your wedding dress still fits your story... just in a whole new light.

Jessica walked into the studio today and brought the magic with her. Wrapped in my new feather robe, she wasn’t just playing dress-up... she was claiming space, celebrating herself, and reminding us all that you can be a mom, a wife, and still feel like a goddess. 😍

Sally had reached a turning point, a quiet but powerful shift where she began to see herself differently. She felt the pull to do something just for her, something that honored the strength she had gained and the woman she was becoming. Her boudoir session wasn’t about perfection... it was about truth, healing, and stepping fully into her own light. It marked a moment where she let go of who she thought she had to be and embraced who she truly was.
The 40 Over 40 Project has become a catalyst for something much deeper than beautiful portraits. It sparks a shift in mindset. For so many women, it’s the first time they’ve truly paused to see themselves not through a lens of expectations or age, but with pride, power, and grace. It’s a moment of reflection and rediscovery... a reminder that confidence doesn’t come from fitting into someone else’s definition of beauty, but from owning your story and standing in it boldly. This experience often marks the beginning of a new perspective, one rooted in self-worth, joy, and unapologetic authenticity.

Confidence isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up anyway.
Meet Pam... a woman whose heart radiates the kind of beauty that truly matters. She believes in reminding women of every age that beauty doesn’t fade with time... it grows. And for the next generation, she carries a powerful message: your size does not define your worth. Real beauty begins within, and Pam is here to help all women see it in themselves.
At the heart of the 40 Over 40 Project is a mission to celebrate, empower, and honor women who have lived, loved, lost, and risen... women who carry stories of strength and wisdom. This project is a powerful reminder that beauty doesn’t have an expiration date and confidence can grow stronger with every year. It’s about showing up for yourself, claiming your space, and being seen exactly as you are... bold, radiant, and unapologetically you. Through each portrait and story, the 40 Over 40 Project inspires women to rediscover their power and to know they are not alone in their journey.

At 44, Julie stepped in front of the camera and into her power. As a participant in the 40 Over 40 Project, she chose to celebrate exactly who she is... right now, in this chapter of life. This project continues to remind us that every woman has a story worth honoring. Julie`s was one of strength, joy, and embracing every part of her journey. Here’s to women celebrating themselves unapologetically... and to lifting each other up along the way.
Are you ready to see the power that’s always been within you too? We`re ready to hear 40 more beautiful stories!

When you photograph people in color,
you photograph their clothes.
But when you photograph people in Black and White,
you photograph their souls.”
– Ted Grant
There’s something timeless about black & white photography. The moment color is stripped away, all that’s left is truth. Emotion. Depth. Soul. It’s in that simplicity that I find the most powerful stories. Every woman who steps into my studio carries a lifetime of strength, beauty, and vulnerability. In black & white, those layers reveal themselves without distraction. It’s not about the dress, the makeup, or the background. It’s about her... her presence, her fire, her softness, her light.
This art form lets me honor each woman exactly as she is. No filters. No masks. Just her soul... quietly shining through. It’s the kind of beauty you feel, not just see ... and I’m endlessly grateful to witness it. Thank you to the incredible women who trust me with their stories. You are unforgettable.

LAETITIA - 57
You are seen... every single day. By your children, your partner, your friends, your colleagues. They see your strength, your kindness, your individuality, your beauty. They admire the way you show up, how you care, how you push forward even when you don’t feel like it.
BUT DO YOU SEE YOURSELF THAT WAY?
Too often, we get caught up in our flaws, our to-do lists, and the expectations placed upon us. We overlook the light we bring into the world... the light that others can’t help but notice.
It’s time to see yourself through their eyes. To witness the beauty, power, and grace that you embody every single day.
This is why I do what I do. Because every woman deserves to have a moment where she truly sees herself... the way the world already does.
Are you ready to step in front of the camera and experience that moment?

IT`S TIME FOR WOMEN TO TAKE UP SPACE!!!
There’s a moment when you realize you’ve been playing small... hiding parts of yourself... dimming your light to fit in or make others comfortable. But you weren’t meant to blend in. You were meant to shine.
Stepping into your power is about recognizing what’s been inside you all along. It’s about seeing yourself the way the world sees you... with admiration, with awe, with love.
A photo shoot is a mirror reflecting back the woman you are. The one who has faced challenges and risen stronger. The one who loves deeply, gives endlessly, and is worthy of being seen. Sometimes, it takes stepping in front of the camera to truly see yourself again... to be reminded of the fire within you.
So if you’ve been waiting for a sign... this is it. Step into your light. Let yourself be seen. Take up space.

A woman is made of many layers, each one telling a part of her story. She is strong and soft, fierce and gentle, quiet and bold. She carries her past, lives in her present, and dreams of her future, all at the same time.
She is the love she gives, the lessons she’s learned, and the moments that have shaped her. Some parts of her are seen by the world, others she keeps just for herself. She is not just one thing... she is many, always growing, always becoming. And in every layer, she is beautiful. ❤
