40 Over 40

Let’s show the world that beauty does not diminish with age. Let’s tell your story of what it means to be an older women in the world today. Join me on this wonderful adventure and share the common bond of being 40 and over. To every amazing woman who has ever felt invisible with the passing years.

The 40 Over 40 campaign is a luxury photo shoot experience
celebrating the beauty, strength and wisdom of women 40 & beyond.

An empowering photo shoot experience for women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond.

Aging is a milestone to celebrate! Instead of letting our age be a source of discouragement, I want us to let it be a symbol of self care, a reminder to love ourselves. This is not the time to fade “gracefully” into the background, this is our time to show the world that beauty is timeless and ageless, that our present is perfect and that our future holds many wonderful possibilities.

The photo shoot was an experience that was exciting and fun and I enjoyed the different outfits and poses. Michelle makes you feel comfortable and the outcome in the images was amazing and much more than I expected. I have my beautiful book on my coffee table to remind me how happy the outcome made me feel :)
