Empowering Women Portrait Sessions
Are you a woman in your 40s or over?
This is your time to Shine
I’M PHOTOGRAPHING WOMEN OVER THE AGE OF 40.
I’D LOVE FOR YOU TO BE ONE OF THEM.
For many of us, reaching 40 marks a significant milestone in our journey. It's a time of reflection, a moment when we become more attuned to our purpose, our self-awareness, and our capacity for love. That's why I've launched this special project – to celebrate the remarkable women who have reached this stage in life.
I believe that growth is something to be cherished and honoured.
Whether you're embracing your 40s with excitement or approaching them with introspection, you are special, and your journey deserves to be celebrated.
Join me for a contemporary glam photo session designed just for you, right here in my London studio. Let's capture the essence of who you are – both inside and out – and create timeless images that celebrate your unique beauty and strength.
“Ageing is not ‘lost youth’ but a new stage of opportunity and strength"
What you will get:
A pre-shoot consultation.
Before your session, we'll have a personalized consultation where we'll discuss the theme of your shoot and explore wardrobe, hair, and makeup options. I'll also take the opportunity to ask you a few interview questions, getting to know you better and ensuring that your session reflects your unique personality and style.
Full makeover.
On the day of your shoot, you'll be treated to a full makeover by a professional hair stylist and makeup artist. Their expertise will ensure that you look and feel absolutely stunning, setting the perfect tone for your photo session.
The photo session.
Your photo session will last 2-3 hours, during which I'll guide you through each pose and expression, capturing the essence of who you are. Together, we'll bring your story and unique features to life in beautiful, authentic photos.
Photo reveal.
Once all your images are ready, we'll have an online reveal session where you'll have the opportunity to view and select your favourite images. This ensures that you have a say in the final selection and guarantees that you receive images that truly resonate with you.
Your story featured
As a special touch, your story will be featured on my blog and potentially in a magazine. This platform allows us to showcase how fabulous you are and inspire other women to embrace their unique journeys.
The session fee is £290
Top 3 Reasons to Participate in the Empowering Women Portrait Sessions:
Celebrate the Best Version of Yourself:
Your fourth decade is often one of the most exciting and fulfilling periods of life. After years of building your career and nurturing your family, it's time to celebrate how far you've come. These photos will showcase just how fabulous you look right now, highlighting your emotional and physical well-being. You're at a stage where you know what you want and what makes you happy, so why not capture it?
Be a Role Model for Others:
How often were you told when you were younger that women in their 40s are old? It's time to change this narrative, and you can be a part of this movement. Your over 40 session isn't just a celebration of who you are; it's also an opportunity to be a role model for younger women who may fear ageing. Use these photos to tell your story and showcase your unique beauty, inspiring others to embrace every stage of life.
Boost Your Confidence:
If accepting the ageing process has been challenging for you, a session like this can change your mindset. With the guidance of the right photographer, you'll see yourself in a whole new light. Viewing these photos will leave you with newfound confidence and a positive outlook on your life – the exact energy you should carry into the next 40 years.
An over 40 session is more than just another photoshoot; it's a celebration of your style, grace, and your life.

Coming soon to toy stores near you... not really. But imagine!
Introducing the Valentina action figure:
Wearing the classic jeans + white tee combo
Armed with a Canon camera (obviously)
Comes with accessories like a laptop, lit candle (for vibes), white orchid (because aesthetics matter), AND my real-life Labrador sidekick
Mood: somewhere between “let’s create magic” and “I need chocolate.”
Honestly, this was such a fun little thing to try and kinda hilarious to see myself as a 3D mini-me! 🙈
But behind the toy box, there’s a real woman who’s spent years telling stories through photos. Helping mums feel beautiful. Cheering on women rediscovering their confidence.
Freezing the messy, emotional, magical in-between moments that make life what it is.
And while I don’t come in packaging (thank goodness, can you imagine the plastic hair??), I do show up with camera in hand and music in the background, ready to turn your moments into something timeless.
So tell me… if YOU were an action figure, what would your accessories be?
Mine better come with a never-ending SD card.
PS. My daughter said the figurine looks like an Oompa Loompa.
I might have laughed a little too hard… mostly because she’s not wrong.

These photos?
They were taken minutes after she told me everything she didn’t like about herself.
And yet… look at her.
Strong. Present.
Fully seen.
So many of the women I photograph say the same things before we begin
“I’m not photogenic.”
“I don’t like how I look.”
“I just want to hide.”
We’ve been taught to shrink.
To criticise before we’re criticised.
To see ourselves through the lens of judgement, instead of truth.
But what if we could rewrite that story?
That’s why I created the Women Empowering Session, to give voice to the powerful woman who’s already in you. You don’t have to become someone else. You just have to see her.
And if you want to start this journey gently,
I created something for you: The Empowered Woman’s Manifesto. A loving reminder of who you are beneath all the noise.
DM me manifesto and I’ll send you the link.
Tell me, what part of yourself are you learning to celebrate?

I know, I know… for mums-to-be, new mums, or parents in general, stress kind of comes with the job.
Between the night feeds, the baby prep, and the emotional rollercoaster that is parenthood, it’s so easy to feel overwhelmed.
That’s why this month is the perfect time to pause and check in with yourself.
YOU MATTER.
Taking care of your mental health isn’t selfish, it’s one of the best things you can do for yourself and your little one.
So let`s chat, how are you managing stress lately?
Maybe it`s a hot cup of tea?
A few minutes of quiet time?
A couple of deep breaths or a walk around the block?
Whatever it is, let`s share and support each other!
Your tip might help another mama breathe easier today.

The clocks went forward yesterday . . . and on Mother’s Day, of all days. Come on, haven`t we earned that extra hour?
To most parents, that lost hour is deeply felt, especially at night. How is your child adapting?
Sleep is difficult at the best of times, and it’s one of the most frequent things I am hearing from parents dropping by my studio this time of the year. If your baby or toddler has been a bit (or a lot!) off schedule - you’re not the only one.
Here are some reminders that can help them (and you!) transition into the new tempo:
Slowly alter the time.�Start shifting bedtime 15 minutes earlier each night until you’re back on track. Small steps go a long way.
Bring the outdoors into the morning.�The morning sunlight will help reset their internal clock. A bit of outdoor play after breakfast can work wonders.
Stick to your wind-down routine.�Consistency is the key. Bath, book, lullaby, the rhythm is soothing and tells the body to sleep.
Keep it dark and cool.�A cool, dark environment is key for quality sleep. Consider blackout curtains and the right room temperature for better rest.
Don`t stress is you haven`t made changes yet - it`s never too late to start making little adjustments to help your baby (and YOU) sleep better.

Happy Mother’s Day
Being a mum has changed me in ways I never expected.
It’s made me softer and stronger. More patient and more protective. It’s helped me see life through a completely different lens.
And while I’m incredibly grateful for the bond I have with my own mum, I know I’m not always the “easiest” person in my daughter’s eyes right now. She’s 13 and I remember exactly how I felt about my mum at that age too. 😅
But that’s the thing about motherhood, we show up anyway. We love fiercely even when we’re met with eye rolls and closed bedroom doors. We support, we guide, we stay… even when we’re not fully understood.
So today, I want to honour every kind of mum:
The ones with grown-up children.
The ones just starting out.
The single mums.
The mums missing their own mums.
The mums coping with loss.
Those struggling to become a mum.
And the ones holding space for complex emotions and evolving relationships.
I’m really grateful my daughter let me share this photo of the three of us. Because this moment — three generations together — is one I’ll treasure forever.
To all the mums, you are doing an incredible job. Today is for you.

Because memory is fragile.
And sometimes, a single photograph brings it all flooding back.
A scent.
A laugh.
A detail you didn’t even know you’d forgotten.
Not because the photo is perfect. But because you were there.
This isn’t about cameras or printing or even photography.
It’s about remembering.
It’s about connection.
What’s a photo you’re grateful you have?
