    + WHY ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS PROJECT?

    I am 60 this year, and I can relate with all my 50+ 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 50 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.

    You can wear up to 4 different outfits in your photoshoot. We have a collection of dresses and gowns for you to play DRESS UP! Or, you can be casual in jeans and a black or white shirt. You can wear a sun dress. You can wear a fancy cocktail dress or jumpsuit. You can wear yoga clothes. You could even wear lingerie or your birthday suit. There's no rules. This is up to you! I want to photograph you based on YOUR UNIQUE VISION.

    + WHAT IF I'D LIKE TO INCLUDE MY CHILDREN, PARTNER, PET OR FAMILY?

    Certainly! You can definitely include loved ones in your shoot! Extra hair and make up is $150 per person (if needed). Part of your story is the people (and furry pets) you love. So if you want to include your loved ones, the more the merrier. And you also have total permission to make this photoshoot just about YOU!

    + CAN I REFER A FRIEND OVER 50 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 $399 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.

 Photoshoot Prep Guide

  • You’re booked in for a 24 People with Tqttoos Portrait Experience session! Now you might be thinking, what did I get myself into? There’s a lot that goes into a portrait experience and it can seem overwhelming. Here’s a guide to help you when prepping for your shoot - you can leave the rest up to us!

  • Use clear deodorant & moisturize your body before your session.

    Don’t forget to eat something and drink lots of water the day before.

    A good night’s sleep will ensure you are refreshed for your photoshoot.

  • Having freshly trimmed and coloured hair and eyebrows done - if that’s your thing - will make you feel like a supermodel during your session!

  • If you normally do your nails, get a manicure and pedicure before you session (or DIY at home). Your hands and feet will show in many of your images and we don’t want chipped polish or dirty fingernails.

  • For your session we do not recommend a spray tan if you haven’t had one done before as it will affect how your skin tone will photograph. You should also stay out of the sun to avoid any burns before your session! Retouching of streaks, tanlines and sunburns is not included in the retouching but available for an extra charge.

  • Please arrive on time for your appointment; if you arrive early, we may still be with another client. Late arrival will be deducted from your session time.

    Hair and makeup will take approximately 1 hour so come prepared to be pampered for a while! Your session itself will take approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours.

    The deposit for your session is non-refundable and there is a $100 rescheduling fee; please allow a minimum of 3 days notice for rescheduling.

ONLY 7 SESSIONS ARE AVAILABLE AND BOOKING FAST.
