Orange County’s #1 Women’s Portrait and Boudoir Photography

The 40 over 40 Project


I’m photographing 40 women in their 40s, 50s, 70s+ in 2023. I’d love for you to be one of them!

Do you know that 40+ accounts for around 40% of the population? This group is too big to be ignored and too gorgeous not to be celebrated. It’s time to start a conversation about the beauty of aging and to embrace the confidence about finally being comfortable in our own skin. Join me on this adventure to share the common bond of being a woman.

What to expect when you want to book your photoshoot…

1.
The Consultation

After you submit the contact form, we’ll reach out within 48 hours (typically much sooner) to schedule a quick and free consult info call to learn more about you and your vision for your session. We’ll go over available dates, answer your questions, and book you in for your photoshoot!

2.
Pre-Session Preparation

After you’re booked in for your session, you’ll receive our preparation magazine, the bonus guide, and you’ll receive more information about session styles available to you. You’ll have the option to pick out a collection that best matches what you’re interested in.

3.
The Shoot

This is the fun part! Your session will take place in either our San Clemente Photography Studio or an alternative location, such as your home, the beach, or an offsite studio location if you are outside of the Orange County area. You’ll be pampered by our professional hair and makeup artist and guided through your own 60-90 minute custom photoshoot.

4.
The Same Day Reveal


The same day reveal allows you to see your images on the same day they are taken! After your session, you’ll go on a quick lunch or stroll down to the beach. In the meantime, I’ll sort and edit your photos so that you can pick out your favorites when you return! No need to come back out for a separate ordering appointment.

The 40 over 40 Project of 2023


Our studio is going to be photographing 40 beautiful women during the year of 2023.
We will create stunning magazine-style portraits of each woman in a way that feels authentic to her, then interview them at the end of the photoshoot to learn more about their story and journey.

These images and stories will be shared on our social media and will be used to create a beautiful art-gallery-style exhibition and celebration held later in 2023.

The cost to participate is $299 + tax and includes:

$299

  • Professional makeover with custom hair and makeup

  • Fully guided photo session
  • Same Day Reveal and ordering appointment to view your images

The Portrait Studio

Our Portrait studio is completely private and women ran. You’ll spend the day being pampered by our wonderful makeup artist and hairstylist who specialize in professional makeup for film and photography for women of all ages, skin types, and colors.

Your photoshoot is customizable to you and your vision. From a beautiful glamour session to sexy boudoir photos, and even somewhere in between, we’ll capture you in the way you’d like to be photographed.
