BEAUTY DOES NOT HAVE AN EXPIRATION DATE


SESSIONS ARE LIMITED

Let’s have a quick chat about this Portrait Experience.

WHY PHOTOGRAPH AT THIS AGE?

  • Because there has never been a better time in history to be a woman over 40! This is your chance to be seen and heard!

  • Let’s celebrate that beauty doesn’t diminish with age.

  • Celebrate your beauty and appreciate every scar, every line and every grey (or purple!) hair.

  • Help us tell your story about what it means to be over 40 today.

  • We intend to disrupt & transform the way we you are viewed (or forgotten) by the media and society by putting out beautiful, authentic images and real stories of ourselves.

MUSE SERIES

YOUR STORY VIDEO INTERVIEW with Anais answering questions about stepping into your power after 40, what beauty means to you, etc. Your story will be used to showcase the MUSE portrait series and in promotional materials including on our website, blog and social media platforms so we can share how FABULOUS you are with the world.

MUSE: Debbie Heinz, 60 years old, bad ass rock star!

WHO CAN BE A MUSE?

All women over 40, 50, 60, 70+ are invited. I have photographed stunning images of women of different shapes and sizes; women with different tastes, from different backgrounds and with different views of life.

THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE with Anaïs is an exciting, pampering, indulgent adventure, custom tailored and focused on YOU!

Think about how you want to be captured, what does your legacy look like? Our passion is to take the every-day woman and give her an unforgettable celebrity-style, magazine photoshoot experience.
It's about so much more than just "taking pretty pictures." Our hope is for you to truly reconnect with yourself, see your beauty & spirit the way others already see you.

MUSE: Mary Sanders, 60 years old, flight attendant.

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER

and how old you are doesn’t determine how beautiful and powerful you are. After 40, you are a strong woman who has lived experiences that have shaped you into the woman you are now, and what better way to embrace and celebrate your journey than by having the most beautiful portraits of you. I want to show you how attractive you can be at any age using my expertise in the beauty industry to give you the ultimate empowering experience making you feel like a celebrity. I promise you it will be something you won’t forget!

MUSE: Barbara, 77 years old, bad ass rock star!

“Anaïs taught me so much about a subject I thought I was already an expert on: myself!”

—Katy F.

EXIST IN PHOTOS.

When was the last time you did something for YOURSELF?

DID YOU KNOW?

Women over 40 accounts for 35% of the population. This group is too big to be ignored and too gorgeous not to be celebrated, specially in Hollywood. It’s time to start a conversation about the beauty of aging and to embrace the confidence about finally being comfortable in our own skin. Join me on this adventure to share the common bond of being 40 and over.

 

BEFORE & AFTER

Because you are unstoppable!

    FEATURED ON OUR BLOG + SOCIAL MEDIA - your images and story will be featured on our social media, blog and possibly youtube

  • Absolutely! When you see the 30-50 stunning images we have created for you, there's a good chance you are going to want more than one! Extra images are $350 each. Or, if you opt to go for one of our larger packages with 6 or more images, we will give you a discounted price per image towards that larger package. Our packages with 6 images start at $1500 + tax and go up from there. We do take credit cards and offer payment plans as well. Again, there's no hard sell to buy more. This is about what you love and you won't know what you love until the photos are completely finished! So this isn't something to worry about now, it's a decision you make later when you see the results of our shoot.

  • At our Portrait Studio in Downtown LA.

  • We shoot Tuesdays - Fridays typically with at 10:00 am start and wrapping by 1:00pm. Availability is first come, first served and based on both Anaïs' schedule and our hair & makeup artist's schedule. Once booked, we will work with you to find an ideal time. Due to COVID19 we take one client per day so the studio can be thoroughly sanitized between shoots.

  • One of the most exciting parts of this experience is to celebrate all the women over 50 and share your images and stories with the community. Because we are still booking our 50 women that are participating, we don't have full details 100% figured out yet.

    We have now been thrown an additional challenge. COVID19. Due to the circumstances and large gatherings not being currently possible,we are looking at an alternative solution to the celebration, such as a virtual event and exhibition or perhaps a magazine featuring all participants.

    Hopefully, there will be some sort of completion celebration for all 50 women but can't give full details of what or how that will look just yet due to the challenging times we all find ourselves in.

  • Having worked in the Fashion and Beauty industry for so many years, I feel like I've heard so many times by many people and by the media things like “she is too old to represent the brand”, “Her best days are numbered" or "it's all downhill from here."

    I find this to be horrible and complete BS. There's no expiration date on being a fabulous, happy, fulfilled, and vibrant woman. I love to look to the women a couple steps ahead of me in life who are absolutely rockin' it. 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. And, I know that if I am inspired by women of all ages, others will be as well. But there aren't many platforms for women over 50 to share their story and their beauty. That's why I decided to cater to this demographics and created this experience.

  • STOP IT!


    You don’t have to be a model to exist in beautiful photos and celebrate your age.

    You don’t have to be photogenic either. It's my job as the photographer to make you look and feel amazing!

    My experience in fashion and beauty will make you look AMAZING with all my secrets for posing and lighting skin. It is not the same to light a 20 year old skin and a 50+ skin. I know how to do BOTH!

    Also, i’m known for making women of all ages, shapes and sizes look amazing in photographs. I GOT YOU! :-)

  • We will coach you on what to wear. You can wear up to 4 different outfits in your photoshoot. You can be casual in jeans and a black or white shirt. You can wear a fun dress. You can wear a fancy cocktail dress or jumpsuit. 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.

    My only requirement is to not wear patterns.

  • You can definitely include loved ones in your shoot! Extra hair and make up is $200 per person (if needed). Part of your story is the people you love. So if you want to include your loved ones, the more the merrier.

  • Yes! I would love to also have your friends be a part of this project! Please spread the word.

  • 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 $150 rescheduling fee. This goes to compensate the hair & makeup artist for lost work. That said, hopefully this won't be an issue at all.

    The session fee, however, is a non refundable retainer so please be sure you are committed when paying your retainer.

    DUE TO COVID19 - we are being flexible with reschedules as we cannot photograph anyone who is sick or has any symptoms even if mild (runny/stuffy nose, cough, any kind of fever, etc). Our team will not work sick as well to keep you safe. We understand it is a challenging time and will accomodate any COVID19 related reschedules.

  • 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. Basically, this experience is first come, first serve.

    You will also need to sign a photoshoot agreement and a covid19 waiver.

    The other limit is that we only have 50 spots available. (32 of which are already secured)!!

    Once we hit 50 women, we will create a waitlist of interested women. If there's a big enough waitlist we might launch this experience again in the future. That said, right now we are really just focused on the first 50 women for 2022.

  • No, this is not a model call nor a free shoot.

  • Images and products are sold separately.

    The session fee of $349 includes: hair and makeup, studio space, 4 hours of shoot, and Anais’ time for pre-consultation, post shoot reveal and retouching time.

  • 1.You can schedule your shoot date on this link: BOOK SHOOT

    2.You can also schedule a phone chat with Anaïs >> HERE

    Or Email us here >> anais@proagephotographer.com and we will get your shoot date picked out and your session fee taken care of. We accept credit cards which can be paid over the phone.
