WHY OVER 40, WHY ME AND WHY NOW?
We are actually blossoming as we age! We are at a special age where we have so much to offer the world, knowledge, experience and all that we’ve accomplished.
Because your age can be your SUPERPOWER and not something to fear.
I intend to celebrate women over 40, even if our society does not. My goal is to offer a magazine style experience that will leave you feeling confident, bold, and seen. You will leave with at least one gorgeous image of yourself to reminder you of this experience everyday. If you’ve been thinking about having your portrait taken, this is the time. If you want to celebrate yourself, this is the time! If you want a gorgeous heirloom portrait to share for generations to come, this is the time!
The REVOLUTION is within you... and I want to help you bring it out! Please join me on this incredible adventure.
THE EVENT
TO SHOWCASE THE PORTRAIT SERIES…
YOUR STORY VIDEO INTERVIEW with Michelle will be answering questions about stepping into your power after 40, what beauty means to you, etc. You will be able to share your story. That interview may be shared on my website, blog and social media.
Your story will be used to showcase the portrait series at the 40 over 40 gallery exhibition and in promotional materials including on my website, blog and social media platforms to share how FABULOUS you are with the world.
All 40 participants will come together to celebrate each other and share our stories. I believe that magic happens when women gather and are able to just be and feel seen and heard. There is power in gathering and sharing!
MORE ABOUT THE 40 OVER 40 EXPERIENCE
There has never been a better time in history to be a woman over 40!

The images were incredible. I couldn’t believe it was me in some of them! I loved how calm and supportive you were during the session. You made everything incredibly easy. Plus, I love how professional you are – you really knew the best poses and angles as well as getting the best lighting and using the right props and backgrounds.

In those pictures, I saw myself in a whole new light, which gave me more confidence to grow my business quickly. I’ve worked with many photographers, and Michelle’s ability to capture the most attractive expressions and poses and her editing abilities are outstanding and the best I have ever seen.

I feel like getting my photos taken is such a confidence boost. It’s empowering, and I feel like a million bucks afterwards. Michelle is really professional and has such talent, it’s such a pleasure to work with her.
