The 40+ Experience: Celebrate Your Beauty, Strength & Story

This is for YOU. The woman who has lived, loved, learned, and grown. The woman who has given so much to others and now deserves a moment for herself. The woman who is ready to see herself in a new light.

I’m inviting you to a one-of-a-kind luxury portrait experience designed exclusively for women over 40—a celebration of your strength, beauty, and individuality. This isn’t just a photo session; it’s a transformative experience where you will feel seen, valued, and truly radiant.


This is your time. A time to celebrate, to feel seen, and to embrace your beauty in a way that’s both elegant and empowering.

Is This for You? The Challenges We All Face:

Between responsibilities and the demands of daily life, it’s easy to lose sight of the woman you are beyond your roles. This session gives you the space to reconnect with yourself, see your beauty, and embrace your journey.

Aging often comes with self-doubt, but confidence has nothing to do with age—it’s about how you feel. This experience is designed to make you feel incredible, both in the moment and every time you see your portraits.

Women often prioritize everyone else before themselves. This is your time—to celebrate who you are, do something just for you, and create a lasting reminder of your strength and beauty.


You Deserve to Be Seen, Celebrated, and Cherished.

SO LET ME INTRODUCE:

An Empowering Portrait Experience for Women Over 40, 50, 60+

This is more than a photo session—it’s a transformative experience designed just for you. A chance to reconnect with yourself, embrace your beauty, and capture your spirit in a way that feels authentic, elegant, and empowering.

The photos Lia captured are breathtaking! I’ve had headshots and branding photos taken for years, but this was the first time I also had portraits just to capture me as a woman, fully present in this new season of life. Lia guided me effortlessly through poses with a calming and supportive demeanor, allowing me to settle into my body and connect with the camera.

PHOTOGRAPHER

LIA GIANNOTTI

For over 15 years, I’ve dedicated myself to the art of portrait photography, capturing the heart and soul of the people in front of my lens. To me, photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about seeing yourself in a new light, feeling seen, and celebrating who you are. It’s a powerful experience, one that can shift the way you view yourself. I’m deeply passionate about the stories an image can tell, the emotions it can hold, and the way it allows us to preserve the moments that matter. But above all, I’m grateful for the trust my clients place in me to capture them in a way that feels true, beautiful, and deeply personal.

BEHIND
the COURSE

With gentle encouragement and an art director's eye, I collaborate with my couples to create effortlessly editorial images full of pure love, stunning backdrops, and natural moments (with just enough guidance!)

Light is my biggest inspiration, and I find weddings to be complex, joyous, fashion-filled, emotional, utterly beautiful celebrations that I can't get enough of.

When I turned 40, I had professional photos taken of myself—and it was more powerful than I ever expected. Seeing myself in a new light was emotional, empowering, and made me appreciate myself in a way I never had before.

Now, at 43, I’ve stepped in front of the camera again, and I want you to know—I understand how it feels. That’s why I’m so passionate about this project.
I am you. I know how easy it is to put yourself last, but you deserve this moment.

Every time I photograph a woman, I witness something incredible—she reconnects with herself in a way that’s deeply powerful. I want you to experience that too. To see yourself the way the world sees you—strong, beautiful, and absolutely worth celebrating.

Let me share a little bit with you...

A Celebration of
Strength, Beauty & Story

This experience doesn’t end with your photoshoot—it’s just the beginning. Once I’ve photographed 40 incredible women, we’ll come together for a celebratory event filled with music, food, and connection.

On this special night, your portrait will be showcased alongside the stories of other inspiring women. It’s a chance to reflect on your journey, celebrate who you are, and be part of a powerful community of women who have embraced this experience. It’s an evening to connect, celebrate, and be inspired. This event is designed to honor you and the legacy you’re creating.

This isn’t just a photoshoot; it’s a movement. A chance to see yourself, celebrate yourself, and connect with others who truly understand this stage of life. I can’t wait to honor you and all the incredible women in this project.

LET’S TELL
YOUR STORY

Your Moment is Now
This is your time to embrace where you are in life and honor the journey that brought you here. Step in front of the camera, own your story, and celebrate the woman you’ve become.
