A CELEBRATION OF WOMEN IN THEIR 40s, 50s, 60s AND BEYOND
ARE YOU A WOMAN IN YOUR 40s, 50s or 60+?
THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE!
I’m searching for 40 women over the age of 40 who would like to empower themselves through portraiture, whether signature or boudoir. I’m turning 40 in 2023 and I want to start a conversation around the beauty of ageing and change the way the world sees and hears women 40 and over. They have so much love, life and experience to give the world and I want to shine a spotlight on it.
We are sensual, desirable and vibrant beings. I want to showcase your beauty even if you haven’t seen it with your own eyes yet or felt it in your soul. I want to tell your stories and change how the media defines us. Join me in this exciting exploration of mature women by participating in this project that will transform the way you feel in your own skin.
“We need women at all levels, including the top, to change the dynamic, reshape the conversation, to make sure women’s voices are heard and heeded, not over-looked and ignored.” — Sheryl Sandberg

A CELEBRATION OF WOMEN AND THEIR STORIES.
YOUR 40/40 CUSTOM PORTRAIT SESSION
WHAT WE OFFER
This is for Claire to get to know your more and plan just how you want to be photographed. We look at your perception of you, stimulus you are drawn to and how you want to be seen. Every session is different and by the end of it we have five looks planned.
STYLING CONSULTATION
As part of your consultation we’ll talk about you and help you choose the outfits from your wardrobe that will show you best at your portrait photography session. You also have access to our Client Wardrobe for the out of this world killer dress or some sequins.
WARDROBE STYLING
HAIR STYLING
The day of your photoshoot, you simply show up. One of our hair stylists will give shape and add volume to your beautiful tresses.
Whether you decide to come with some makeup on or with a fresh face, our professional makeup artists will ensure your makeup is photo-ready. We’ll even add some eyelashes as well.
MAKE-UP APPLICATION
It is Claire’s job to find your best angles and guide you through a series of expressions until she captures your personality. She wants to tell your story through beautiful photos that you will gladly share all over your social media and gift to family members.
GUIDED PHOTOSHOOT
You’ll be with Claire for a while and that allows for several changes. Claire has found over the years that there is something liberating about putting on a different outfit that allows your confidence to come through.
MULTIPLE OUTFITS
Whilst the magic already happened during your photoshoot, every image is retouched as if it was going on a magazine. Rest assured that every little detail will be taken care of.
PROFESSIONAL RETOUCH
Claire will invite you back to the studio to show you your retouched images. You will be able to select your included print and see if there are any more images that you wish to purchase.
IMAGE REVEAL
DIGITAL FILES & PRINTS
We believe in the power of a print but also that people want imagery on their personal devices. You can purchase a package of digitals in addition to the one included and, once you have chosen those you can choose if you want to turn them into beautiful wall art.

THE ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE
WHAT DOES IT COST?
I’m offering this 40 Over 40 experience for just £250 (valued at £400)
THE 40 OVER 40 EXPERIENCE INCLUDES:
A pre-session phone consultation
We’ll discuss all the details involved with a session including wardrobe, hair & makeup, what to bring, how to prepare and everything else you’ll need to know about your special day!
Professional Hair & Makeup
On the morning of the photo shoot, you’ll be introduced to our professional hair & makeup artist extraordinaire. We’ll consult with you on how you wish to wear your hair and makeup. If you’d like to do something outside your comfort zone, we’ll be happy to give you the red carpet treatment!
Wardrobe Fitting Appointment
A fitting appointment will be scheduled in the days leading up to your photo shoot. This will give you the opportunity to try on studio wardrobe and mix & match with anything you’d like to bring from home. We want you to feel confident with your wardrobe choices and look forward to a stress-free day of pampering! Studio wardrobe is also available.
Full Service Session
10am – 2pm
You’re in good hands! I’ll be directing you every step of the way so you won’t need to worry about a thing. Our job is to help you feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. I’ll even show you the back of my camera a few times so you know how beautifully your images are turning out. You’re amazing and no detail is too small to make this a perfect day for you.
One (1) 10” fine art print of your choice, beautifully matted and ready to frame
You’ll be invited back for your REVEAL appointment within 6-8 weeks after your photo shoot. If you’re coming from a distance, a remote session can be arranged. First, we’ll watch a video with all of your photos. During the Reveal Session you’ll see all your beautiful portraits, choose your complimentary print and have the opportunity to purchase more if you wish. What you purchase is entirely up to you and I’ll show you all the beautiful products available at your fitting appointment.
