40 OVER 40 PROJECT

Anyone 40 and over is invited! So you can be 40, 50, 60, 70, 80+ or anything in between!

In my 10 years as a professional photographer, I have photographed hundreds of women of every shape, size and background. There are no restrictions!

This experience is an exciting and indulgent photoshoot experience custom tailored and focused on you! You are so worth it!

The participation fee is £295. This fee holds your date for your photoshoot and allows us to book in the hair and makeup artist for your shoot. 

It also covers the design & styling consultation, one beautiful matted 8×10″ print of your choice (with the matching digital) and inclusion in the special edition 40 over 40 portrait magazine. 

DESIGN & STYLING CONSULTATION:
We discuss how you want to be photographed and give guidance on what to wear plus styling options. 

PROFESSIONAL HAIR & MAKEUP:
Enjoy being pampered with a makeover to help you feel more confident in front of the camera.

TWO HOUR GUIDED PHOTOSHOOT:
Nervous about posing or what to do with your hands? Don’t worry – you aren’t alone! You will be fully guided & directed by Wani so you don’t need to feel awkward, uncomfortable or worried about not getting good pictures.    

VIEWING & ORDERING SESSION: 
Enjoy seeing all your beautiful images in a guided setting in our private studio. You will see 20-30 images from your session depending on how many outfits we photographed you in.

At this session, you will pick your one complimentary image included in the £295 special offer and will also have the opportunity to purchase additional images. Portraits start at £345 per image and collections of 5 or more images start at £1295. The more photographs you purchase, the more you save. 

PORTRAIT CELEBRATION & MAGAZINE:
Upon completion of the project, your chosen complimentary portrait & story will be complied into a beautiful special edition keepsake magazine. You will get access to the online version of the magazine. And the physical copy can be purchased separately.

FEATURED ON OUR BLOG & SOCIAL MEDIA:
Your images & story will be featured on your social media, blog and website. 

I believe my clients deserve the best so I have worked hard to source premium quality products that will last and can be handed down to the next generation one day. We offer a variety of options including matted prints, albums, folio boxes and albums.

My most popular item is a beautiful handcrafted wooden box made in the UK that serves as both a picture frame and album box. It sits on your fireplace, coffee table or book shelf to show off your favourite portraits. The best part is that the images can be swapped easily to suit your mood.

You will get the opportunity to see, feel and touch all our beautiful products when you come in for your photoshoot.

Absolutely! We work hard to create images you love. So chances are, you are going to want more than one. You may even want them all! But that’s a good problem to have. 

Extra photographs (an 8×10″ matted print with the matching digital image) are £345 each. But the more you buy, the more you save. Most clients choose to purchase from our collections which start at £1295 for 5 images and go up from there.

We do take credit cards and offer payment plans as well.

All photoshoots take place at my private studio in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire.

Our photoshoots take place weekdays and are strictly by appointment. Availability is first come first served. During your discovery call, Wani will share a slot of available dates and make sure to find an opening that works for you.

There are limited Saturdays available but there is an additional charge of £100 for these premium slots. We will always do our best to accommodate your schedule. 

I’m a big believer in the printed product and I wanted some way of commemorating this experience for all our participants. Each participant will get a page or spread with their image and an excerpt of their story. Further details will be shared towards the end of the project.

I’ve always loved photographing women – creating beautiful portraits of real everyday women is my passion! I love watching a woman fall in love and rediscover herself and I am honoured to be part of the process. 

Society hasn’t always been kind to women over 40. It’s like an invisible curtain call where one moves from being seen to being unseen. Women aren’t allowed to grow old gracefully in the same way men are and I believe that’s a huge shame. 

I am inspired by women over 40 who have freed themselves from society’s expectations and are simply living their best life! I want to share these stories to inspire women of all ages. 

I’m pretty darn excited about going on this adventure with you. 

Don’t worry – so many women I’ve worked with feel this way. But it’s not your job to be photogenic! It’s my job as your photographer to help you feel comfortable so you look & FEEL amazing!

I’ve been doing this for over a decade now and have posed at least a thousand women. I am very experienced with working with women of all ages, shapes & sizes and I can help you look amazing in your photographs! You just need to turn up with your favourite outfit – I promise I’ll take care of the rest. 🙂  

You can wear up to 4 outfits in your photoshoot. And I always suggest going for a range. Options include but aren’t limited to, casual, personal branding, flirty, fun, sexy and even full glam. Clients wear everything from  jumpsuits to cocktail dresses.

If you want to go sexy – bring some sexy lingerie or even bare it all in your birthday suit. This shoot is really about photographing you the way you want and sometimes need to be seen. There are no rules – just your unique vision.

We go through all our different options  at your design & styling consultation giving you plenty of time to prepare.

Short answer: Yes!

Long answer: Makeup is important to helping balance skin tones, hide those under eye bags and help your eyes pop. We absolutely believe you should look like yourself! So this is you on your very best day when the skin and hair gods align to help you look your absolute bestest! 🙂 

Our professional makeup can offer everything from a “no makeup” makeup look to full glam. So we’ll make sure you love your makeup before we take a single picture! 

Most definitely! You are more than welcome to include your loved ones in your shoot. Additional hair & makeup (if needed) is £95. This is YOUR story – tell it exactly how you want.

Absolutely – the more the merrier! It would be amazing to have your friends be part of this project. So definitely spread the word!

While we hope this doesn’t happen – we totally get that life happens! I do book in my hair & makeup artist’s time to be at your photoshoot. So you are allowed one reschedule with at least 2 weeks notice.

If we have less than 2 weeks notice (or this is the second time you are rescheduling), there is a £95 rescheduling fee.

Rest assured, we will be employing all the necessary safety precautions in line with current government guidelines. Only one client is allowed into the studio at a time.  Main touch points of the studio will be sanitised in between sessions. Please email for the full list of precautions being taken. 

This is an open project and every woman over 40 invited to take part. Every woman is beautiful and we want to celebrate every definition of that beauty. So we operate on a first come, first served basis.

If you are interested or have more questions, then get in touch with Wani for a discovery call to answer all your questions. Pay your £295 participation fee and you are booked in for your shoot.

The only limit is that we have 40 spaces available. Once we fill all the spaces, we will create a waitlist of interested women. However, there are no guarantees that we will be running this next year. So I definitely recommend booking in for this year’s campaign if you are interested. 

Whoop whoop! <happy dance> I can’t wait to work with you!
