WHO IS THE 40 Over 40

EXPERIENCE FOR?

All women 39 and up 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. Alana’s Fine Art Photography Portrait Studios values the experience. This is a time to be pampered. This time will be an exciting, indulgent, adventurous, and focused on YOU!

Think about how you want to be captured. What does your legacy look like? My passion is to take an everyday woman and give her an unforgettable, glamorous, celebrity-style, magazine photoshoot experience.

It's about so much more than just "taking pretty pictures." My hope is for you to reconnect with yourself truly, see your beauty & spirit the way others already see you.

  • Black and white photo of three women smiling and sitting on a chair against plain background. One woman is seated, and two women are positioned behind her with their hands on her shoulders.

    No experience is necessary. No, you do NOT have to be a model. I am looking for all ages, shapes, and sizes to be a part of the show and show your beauty.

Be a part of this UNIQUE ONE-OF-A-KIND CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE.

Feel free to share this page with anyone you think might be interested in joining. Let them know all they have to do is let me know that you sent them! And they will receive a $50 credit towards their art print purchase, and you will too!

This unique 40 Over 40 Campaign is going to be amazing for the ladies who participate! A big part of the project is finding out more about the women participating and sharing their stories. So, I will start by finding out more about you. About a week before the session, I will send a questionnaire to start.

Get in touch now and book! I have only a limited number of spaces. Please fill out the contact me form below.

Sessions will take place by appointment.

What can I expect on the day of the photo session?

I will style you using your favorite wardrobe items, and you are welcome to look through my wardrobe closet. We will review all of the outfits and make a plan for the style.

Hair styling and makeup will be provided if included with your package or you can go before to your own salon.

Enjoy a glass of Wine, snacks, tea, cookies, or fruit while you get ready.

what can i expect after the photo session?

You will have the opportunity to purchase wall art, fine art prints, folio boxes, and more after the session. In about 15 days, you will come into the studio for your ordering and design sales session or we will have a live ordering appointment via phone or video call.

If you would like to learn more, we can discuss this special offer over the phone so you know what to expect and have all your questions answered, or we can plan a time to come into the studio.

Through all the women I've photographed, I've noticed that many are experiencing a major shift or change in their lives. Whether it's an empty nest, changes with their parents, getting married, moving, or overcoming something difficult.


This will be a great confidence booster, and you will absolutely LOVE your photographs.

DISPLAY OPTIONS

I offer the most gorgeous luxury products to store and display your new photographs, including folio boxes, albums, and wall art. My favorite is the folio Box. It can sit on your mantle, your bookshelf, or nightstand, and you can view your images easily and swap out a different framed image on your wall so often with a new image.

Ordering

At the reveal about two weeks after your photoshoot, you can decide if you would like any additional. Prints can be added à la carte.

Fine art matted photographs 12”x8” are $109 a la carte, but you can save money by purchasing a collection.

Print collections start at $349. The more photographs you purchase, the more you save.

Some people will only buy a few photographs and spend a few hundred dollars. Some others want more and purchase a beautiful folio box, or a gorgeous album, and add some wall art for their home, and spend a few thousand. What you spend is entirely up to you; there are no hard sales.

Years from now, you and your loved ones will

be so happy you have

these photographs. They only get more precious

as time goes by.

I offer payment plans and a flexible pricing structure, so you can choose exactly what feels right for you.
‍ ‍

These images will be something you and your children will look back on, not just once, but forever.

To participate, pay the non-refundable

booking fee of $300
