THE 40 OVER 40 EXHIBITION

THE 40 OVER 40 EXHIBITION

BOOK YOUR SPOT

Are you a woman who is in your 40s, 50s, or 60+?  This is for you!

I am looking for 40 amazing women in their 40s, 50s 60s and up, for a one of a kind empowering experience.  Celebrate your life and your story.

Photography is my passion.  There is no greater joy than showing women a portrait of themselves that takes their breath away and brings tears to their eyes.  I recently turned 43 and it will be an honour for me to show other women like me their strength and beauty- for themselves and for the world.

We are too important not to be heard and too beautiful not to be celebrated!

It's time to start a conversation about the beauty of aging. Let's change the way the world and media define us and embrace the freedom and confidence of finally being comfortable in our own skin.

Join me on this adventure of being 40 and over, and fabulous.

The project will culminate in a gallery-style exhibition and celebration.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

I am offering the 40 OVER 40 promotion package for just $299.  The total value is $520.

THE 40 OVER 40 PHOTO SESSION INCLUDES:

A pre-session phone or in-person consultation.

We will discuss all things regarding your photo session including wardrobe and all the details you need to know before the big day!

Professional Hair & Makeup.

Make sure you make plans for a night out on the day of your session, either with your girlfriends or your significant other, because you will look and feel absolutely gorgeous!

Full photo session with multiple wardrobe changes.

Don't worry if you don't know how to pose- I will guide and pose you down to your expression and fingertips.

1 Complimentary 8x10 fine art print of your choice, in an elegant 11x14 mat.

A few days after your photo session, you will come back to my studio for the great REVEAL of your portraits.  During the Reveal you see all your beautiful portraits, choose your complimentary print and have the opportunity to purchase more, if you choose to.  What you purchase is entirely upto you.  Every purchased print comes with the corresponding digital file.

Testimonials

Linda

"Thank you Adrienne and crew at Vital Image for creating the 40 over 40 campaign. 
I had made many changes with my life but I was still searching for validation for the changes that I had made. I began by writing about my experiences that have shaped me into the person that I am today. My writings became a book, then another book and I am currently writing my next one. Going out of my comfort zone was becoming natural for me. Then I heard about the 40 over 40 campaign. I knew I had to step out of my comfort zone again and allow myself to be photographed which I had never been comfortable with before. I was blown away by the pictures to say the least! I felt beautiful and confident again. I gained self esteem. One of my goals in life is to empower other women but I knew I had to empower myself first. Self love is the first step. I feel that I now love myself and I am empowered. Adrienne photographs with her heart more than her eyes and it shows in every picture of each and everyone of these beautiful women . I am so happy that I stepped out of my comfort zone again and I can’t wait to personally meet every one of these women who also did the same."
Lorraine's Words

Lorraine

"I am proud to be able to feel sexy at 65 and so grateful that you made me feel comfortable in my body and encouraged me to show off my best features.  I never could have imagined feeling so good about a glamour photoshoot at 65 years old."

Corrine

"This is such a great empowering experience!! So glad I mustered the courage to do it!!!"

Linda

"What a wonderful opportunity this photo shoot was! This was something I had wanted to do for myself for many years, but kept putting off because I never felt I looked my best.  This time, I decided that if I didn’t do it now, I probably never would, and what a truly amazing experience it was!  Adrienne and Emma could not have made me feel more comfortable, empowered, and special on the day of my photo shoot. The bonus?  I have stunning photos that I’ll treasure forever."

Charlette

"To feel safe, relaxed and beautiful in 2020 and in my 49th year.  What an absolute treat!  Adrienne and her team allowed my Mom and I to have some time together that was so heartwarming and necessary.  She is a photographer with special talent."

Jodi

"Adrienne is absolutely amazing!  I had a great time and my pictures were definitely not what I expected :). This woman works miracles!"

Lesley Lee

"Your photography project was a very bright spot for me in a dark year. You didn’t just make me look like a movie star, you made me feel like one. Entering your beautiful studio, choosing which glamorous gowns I would like to wear for the photos, having Tarah do an amazing job with my hair and make-up, and being served beverages and snacks all added to the specialness of the afternoon. During the photography session itself you both kept me relaxed and laughing so that I had a wonderful time. The only difficult part was choosing which photos I wanted to keep." 

 

Janine

"I read about your project late one evening at home alone browsing through Facebook., which I rarely do. Something that night had me stop to read and before I even realized fully what I was doing, messaged you!  Totally out of my comfort zone, and nothing like I had ever done before!  I am the single mom who takes all the pictures with my phone of my children, events, etc to create memories, but rarely am I in the pictures.  

 
When you called me to discuss, by the end of the phone call, I was excited to try this photo shoot.  Many that I told I was doing this said "Good for you!!"  What made you decide to do it?  Truthfully, I am not sure!  After speaking with you, it sounded like so much fun, and I had been told by many that it's time for me to get out there and do something for me for a change, and not for everyone else.... and I did!
 
Photo shoot day, I was at first extremely nervous.  I don't know how to pose.. I don't dress up.... I am just me that wears blue jeans!  You and Tarah made it all seem so easy and just like that the fear was gone.  The photo shoot was something I will never forget.  I don't wear gowns or get my makeup and hair all done... I was feeling like a princess!  Having 2 of my daughters join me part way through the shoot is another memory bank moment.  I left feeling exhilarated and happy..and I admit a little sad that the shoot was done!
 
Viewing the photos was another event.  I found it hard to believe they were me!  They were beautiful pictures, and I thought those can't be me!  I don't look like that!  I am thrilled to show those photos..... I NEVER like pictures of me, and always show the kids photos only... I stay behind the camera... but you had me out front!.... I had no idea that woman was hidden inside!
 
Still not totally believing that I could look like that... I don't think it was until we texted one night when you told me someone who doesn't even know me liked the photos of me that I started to think... wow... really?  Adrienne found me in me!  Comfortable in my ways, and not looking for any "forks in the road" as this stage of life... you had me thinking.... maybe there could be more!.. and maybe I would be willing to see!
 
So thank you, Thank you for opening my eyes to possibilities....new things to try,  to appreciate me, and to make some time for me!  I am always willing to help everyone else I am told, so this was the first thing  that was just because for me!  I love being included in your gallery - 40 women over 40.  Everyone is beautiful and stunning, and I am thrilled to be included in the group.  I would love to be able to meet everyone one day when COVID is done. Thank you for making a beautiful memory of 2020 for me."

 

Janette

"It was a joy to be able to do this for myself this year. The timing felt right to be able to celebrate my personal journey and the transformation I have undergone, particularly in the last couple of years. The path of becoming who we are truly meant to be is not an easy one.  Shedding layers of unwanted and unloved parts of myself through the years has finally brought me to a place of loving acceptance, a new attitude and confidence for this next chapter of my life. Thank you for capturing my essence at this transformational point of my story."

Debbie


"I wanted to do something special with them and you certainly made that happen.
I will cherish those memories for a life time.... listening to my sisters chatting away while I was getting hair and makeup done was heartwarming to say the least.
My sister Irma got to have eyebrows for the first time ♥️
The reactions we got from our family and friends with the pictures is priceless.
Before, during and after the photo shoot will always be a beautiful blessing for me and my sisters.

The results exceeded my expectations for sure♥️"

Norberta

"I loved how you brought out the confidence and sassiness in all of us. The experience you provided was absolutely incredible. The task is actually hard work and even more so for yourself. There was so much attention and attending and in both you did a phenomenal job. You held our egos as a fragile egg while at the same time bounced it around reminding us of our resilience. I think the challenge doesn't come from you, it comes from us as we try to figure out what/who we think we are or can be., while doing this in real time with the snap of the camera lens.
I know that you navigate through the needs of the individual as I saw you address the needs of both myself and Ang, both very different women.
 
I will cherish the collaboration with my friend as you captured our relationship and the fact that we are fun loving and goofy human beings.  My own hope to capture a sassy, younger looking middle aged woman was accomplished.  I cannot think of anything that needs to change to the scene as the environment, the dolling up and your attention, it was all terrific... I just know in hindsight what we bring in terms of our inhibitions, fears and insecurities is what really comes into play. You did a great job in coaxing the person to speak through their body...
 
You are amazing!"
