I plan to photograph 40 women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond between 2023 and 2024.

Will you be one of them?

Experience an unforgettable creative portrait photo shoot that will celebrate & capture every facet of you.

SCROLL TO LEARN MORE

Every incredible woman shown above is over 40.

Here are some of the things they had to say after their photo shoot experience:

  • Thank you for making me feel so EMPOWERED & BEAUTIFUL on this day! I hope this encourages women everywhere to step into their greatness.

    Lori M.

  • Easily one of my favorite summer memories was this day with these fabulous ladies! The dream team! They made me feel like a princess, a goddess, and a total badass!!

    DE P.

  • These women boosted my confidence level and reminded me I need to be kinder to myself. I feel like the woman in this photo isn't an unrealistic version of me - just me amped up a level.

ABOUT THE TEAM

My name is Claire Marchand, and I am a portrait photographer. I believe that everyone deserves to look and feel incredible in photographs.

I am passionate about helping you evolve your confidence through empowering photo shoot experiences. It is my greatest honor & joy to capture women of all ages and show them (you!) that they are powerful and uniquely beautiful.

Keely Lozier is a professional wardrobe stylist, creative director, and my right hand woman. Oh — and she does the best hair wind in the business!

Keely is an integral part of every photo shoot, from planning to the final product. She is an expert in what looks good on camera — from wardrobe and accessories to set design. She and I work closely to translate your vision into incredible photographs.

In addition to styling for camera, Keely also styles people for everyday life and special events.

The 40 Over 40 Creative Sessions are $450 (an $850 value)

Your experience includes:

01

CONSULTATION

During this Zoom, we will discuss your vision for the shoot, go over the process in detail, and you can ask me any questions you may have. From there we will take a look at dates, finalize the booking process, and begin customizing your photo shoot together!

02

WARDROBE STYLING

The 40 Over 40 Creative Sessions include one creative concept/look. Keely, our incredible studio wardrobe stylist will connect with you before your shoot via Zoom. Dressing for camera is much different than for real life, and she is an expert in both. Her job is to ensure that the wardrobe lines up with your vision!

03

PHOTO SHOOT

When you arrive for your photo shoot, Keely will finalize wardrobe while you are relaxing in hair and makeup. Once you are styled, you will step onto your set. You don’t need to worry about knowing how to be photographed, I will show you how to pose from head to toe and coach you through expressions that achieve the feel you want your images to have.

04

IMAGE REVEAL & SELECTION

After your photo shoot, I will either invite you back into the studio or we will meet over Zoom to view your images together. This is when you will be able to choose your favorite portraits to create your collection. I will guide you through the selection process as well as customizing print products & wall art to display your gorgeous portraits at home. From there, I will retouch & put final creative touches on your images and order your products.

For participating in the 40 Over 40 Creative Sessions, you will receive one complimentary fine art matted print + corresponding digital file as my gift to you. This is valued at $250. If you choose to upgrade to a collection, that amount will be applied as credit.

Once all 40 women have been captured, it’s time to celebrate!

The 40 Over 40 Creative Sessions will culminate in a gallery show inspired event — you are art and I am going to show you and the world! We will gather to sip, mingle, and highlight each incredible woman who has been a part of the campaign.

In order to be a part of the 40 Over 40 Creative Sessions, I ask that:

  • You sign a model release — this allows me to share your story & portraits on my website, social media, and display at the gallery event!

  • Your photo shoot must take place between May 1st, 2023 and March 31st, 2024.

  • You are ready to trust my team to create the most breathtaking portraits you’ve ever seen of yourself.
