You’re invited to a unique celebrity-style makeover and photoshoot experience.
We intend to disrupt & transform the way we are viewed (or forgotten) by the media and society by putting out beautiful, authentic images and real stories of ourselves.
Let’s celebrate the beauty, strength and wisdom of women 40 and over!

why over 40?
But after that, women disappear. Often, we are behind the camera taking the photos of our families, or we just don't feel comfortable in front of the camera. If you are a woman who never got married, it's possible you were never celebrated in this way.
I wanted a way to show the women that I knew and loved just how beautiful, strong and inspiring they were at every age. I wanted to celebrate the many journeys we travel in life that are often unmarked, even though they are just as significant if not more than the ones we traditionally celebrate.
before and after gallery
"I’ve never done anything like this before, and was quite nervous."
"But Ann quickly put me at ease and made me feel like a queen.
Every single one of my friends who saw the pictures had the same thing to say… beauty, elegance, and strength."

Watch Me
Yours truly, Ann.
I am committed to delivering unmatched quality in every aspect of your portrait experience, from our initial conversation to the moment you hold your portraits.
I’ll capture the best portrait that you have seen of yourself.
Hey there, I'm Ann!
I've realized that many of my "Struggles" are just stories I tell myself that shape my self image.
I've discovered something magical happens when we step in front of the camera: we start telling ourselves new stories.
We get to decide to tell ourselves that we are strong, we are beautiful, we are resilient, and we are loved. A portrait is a reminder of all of the stories that we get to choose every day.
with love, Ann
Those laugh lines?
Proof you know how to have fun. I'm not here to erase your years or pretend you're 25 again. I'm here to show the world - and remind you - just how gorgeous you are right now.
Maybe you're killing it in your career and need some portraits that scream "boss lady." Or perhaps you've hit a big personal milestone and want to mark the occasion.
Or you just want to remind your daughter how fabulous you both look. Whatever the reason, I've got you covered.
NEVER, EVER
think your moment in the spotlight has passed.

Proof you know how to have fun.
I'm not here to erase your years or pretend you're 25 again. I'm here to show the world - and remind you - just how gorgeous you are right now.
Maybe you're killing it in your career and need one shot that screams "boss lady."
Or perhaps you've hit a big personal milestone and want to mark the occasion.

It's not your job to know how to pose or look "natural."
The magic happens when you step into the studio. We take our time to find the lighting and body language that works best for you, your body and your expression.

Why Book a Photoshoot?
SCHEDULE MY FREE CONSULTATION
My goal is to create the most beautiful images you have ever had of yourself. It is a collaborative process, so we will work together ahead of time to create the perfect shoot for you and to discuss both what you love and what you are insecure about. Our pricing is structured so that you only buy what you love and there is no obligation. Of course, we want you love all of your images, so get ready! That said, we want you to be 100% in love with your images and your experience. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with your portraits at the viewing session, we will offer a reshoot at no additional cost to you. Our goal is to capture images that you will be excited to share.
Yes! It is so fun to share your photoshoot experience with a friend or family member. You can book a session with your Mom, Daughter, Sister, Friends, Partner, etc., and shoot together or they can come along to cheer you on. This is your day!
What if I don't like my images?
Can I experience a photoshoot with a friend?
The beauty of these sessions is that they are very flexible, and can incorporate everything from boudoir to branding, and everything in between. Many women choose to create some images that are fun and beautiful for their personal use, as well as images that are more formal for professional use. We offer beautiful print products, including albums and wall prints as well as digital files so that you can use your images on your website and social media.
How can i use my images?
When you schedule your session, you will also receive my what to wear style guide. We'll chat about your outfits at your consultation, and I'll help you decide what works best at your session as well. If you would like even more help, I can recommend a fabulous stylist who can personally help you style your session.
What should I wear for my session?
We typically shoot out of our home studio in Barrington Hills, which is a unique Mid-Century Modern Architect's home with tons of light and a dedicated studio space.
Where are you located?
We price our sessions and images separately so that you only pay for the images you love. Sessions start at $450 and include hair and makeup, your consultation, a two-hour photoshoot and your reveal session. Images start at $250 each with packages of 10 or more starting at $1500.
Then you are in the right place! I would guess that 90% of my clients think this before their shoot, probably because they haven’t been photographed in good lighting with posing that flatters their body. It’s my job to guide you so that you look your best, you have fun and your personality comes out. It’s your job to love and accept yourself. It won’t take you long to relax into our shoot and realize that not only is it not difficult or scary, but that you are actually very photogenic! Many clients have shared with me how positive this experience was for their self-image and how good they felt about themselves and their bodies afterwards.
I'm not a model, can you make me look good?

You should give the risk-free "40 over 40 experience" a shot if you are motivated by any of the following:
"This photoshoot wasn’t just about taking pretty pictures of me.
It was about celebrating who I am and everything I’ve been through.
I’ve faced hard times and have gotten through a lot, and I wanted to remember this important time in my life, to show how strong I am.
It was a way to celebrate the person I’ve become."
"The thought of being in front of the camera was a bit daunting at first.
But, I wanted something big to celebrate the start of the next chapter of my life.
It felt so energizing to see myself in a new light and to see how strong and happy I have become.
For me this was about embracing who I am and who I can be."
"I felt bit unsure about booking this photoshoot, but I realized that I'm not getting any younger.
I was ready to do something for myself, and I am so happy I did.
I normally hate photoshoots but I absolutely loved my photos.
I had so much fun and everything I was worried about just disappeared.
I am so glad I just did it."
Julie acknowledged this as a testament to her resilience and strength.
Kathy just went through her divorce and was ready to embrace the next phase of her life.
Andrea stopped waiting for the "Perfect Time".
