How a 45-Minute Portrait Session Can Transform Your Confidence

You’d be amazed what can happen in 45 minutes.

A woman steps into my studio unsure—apologizing for the way she looks, for the years around her eyes, for how life has shaped her. She says, “I’m not photogenic” or “I’ll try my best.”

But this isn’t about trying. It’s about being.

What Is the 40 Over 40 Portrait Experience?

The 40 Over 40 Project was born to offer visibility to women at midlife and beyond. It’s for women who’ve spent years caring for others and are finally ready to honour themselves.

And yes, each session is just 45 minutes. But that’s more than enough time for a quiet revolution.

Why 45 Minutes Is All It Takes

In less than an hour, something profound happens:

You are styled, guided, and lit with intention.

You stop performing. You start unfolding.

You are witnessed—without judgement, just light.

This isn’t a photo shoot. It’s a moment of truth.

What My Clients Say After the Session

Women often tell me:

“I’ve never seen myself like this before.”

“This reminded me of who I am.”

“I walked in shy and left glowing.”

It’s not about the makeup. It’s not about the dress.

It’s the feeling of being truly seen—and the shift that follows.
