WHERE DOES THE SHOOT TAKE PLACE?

My portrait studio is in the Denham Springs Antique Village

WHAT DAYS DO YOU HAVE AVAILABLE FOR THIS SHOOT?

We shoot Tues-Thurs starting at 9:30 and finishing up around 2:00. Most of our clients take a day off work to spend with us being pampered.  

TELL ME ABOUT THE PORTRAIT EXHIBITION + CELEBRATION?

One of the most exciting parts of this project is to celebrate all 40 of our participants and share your images and stories with the community. There will also be a final celebration featuring all 40 women's portraits on display once this project is complete. Our venue will be announced as we get closer.

WHY ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS PROJECT?

I am 43, and I can relate with all my 40+ sisters of the feelings we have about aging and how we are underrepresented in the media. There's no expiration date on being a fabulous, happy, fulfilled, and vibrant woman. You inspire me. Your story inspires me. You show me and our society the truth-- that a woman just gets better with time, like a fine wine! I am a huge believer in women's empowerment. There aren't enough platforms for women over 40 to share their story and their beauty.

I'M NOT PHOTOGENIC THOUGH! IS THAT OK?

"Photogenic" is not something you are...or not! It's my job as the photographer to make you look and feel amazing. And lucky for you I am a trained master at making women of all ages, shapes and sizes look amazing in photographs.

WHAT WILL I WEAR?

You can wear up to 3 different outfits in your photoshoot. We have a collection of over 100 lingerie pieces, robes, etc for you to play DRESS UP! Or, you can be casual in in an oversized sweater or button up shirt. Shop your own closet for fun or comfy pieces.. you can even just wear your birthday suit! There's no rules. This is up to you! I want to photograph you based on YOUR UNIQUE VISION.

CAN I REFER A FRIEND OVER 40 TO ALSO BE A PART OF THIS PROJECT?

Yes! I would love to also have your friends be a part of this project! Please spread the word.

WHAT IF I BOOKED MY DATE & PAID $500 AND THEN HAVE TO RESCHEDULE?

I totally understand that life happens! I do book in my hair & makeup artist's time to be at your photoshoot. Therefore, you are allowed one reschedule more than 7 days out from the shoot at no charge. If we have less than 7 days notice (or this is the second time you need to reschedule) we do charge a $100 rescheduling fee.

HOW ARE YOU CHOOSING WHO PARTICIPATES?

We aren't "choosing" anyone. Every woman's story is inspiring. Every woman is beautiful. So we aren't going to exclude anyone who wants to be involved. Basically, this project is first come, first served. If you are willing to connect with Missy for a "get to know you" call pay your $500 participation fee, book your date, are over 40 (or turning 40 this year) you can be a part of the shoot! YAY! The other limit is that we only have 40 spots available. Once we hit 40 women, we will create a waitlist of interested women.

THIS IS AMAZING, COUNT ME IN! I'M READY TO BOOK MY DATE! WHAT'S NEXT?
