40 over 40 – unwavering women project
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are you passionate about this project?
By asking so many people around about when was the defining moment of the life most of them will tell me told me 40 was that one that’s the reason I brought up the 40 over 40 unwavering women project, this project is international movement that is taking place as we speak to redefine society standard and to reshape what it means to be a women over 40, what it means to become part of a bigger cause and be the voice of the unheard.
In this project, I want to show women how strong they really are and help them in a new way to grow and feel confident in their own skin and confident the way you look and that they matter.
The love I have for womanhood and empowerment is something dear to my heart since before “girl power” became a thing. Listening to woman stories & see their strength unfolding in from on my eyes and lens to reach her fully aligned self. it’s where the magic happens each time.
Every people in this world has been given a purpose, and I have been given a purpose to bring up women soul essence and voices. Offering to all women a special a sacred space where I get to capture & celebrate and show them back their inner beauty and their power that was there all along.
Showing you back that you matter and you deserve it all.

Where does the shoot take place?
My portrait studio is based in Muskerry Estate, 83 Beech Road, Ballincollig in a quiet and private studio.
What will I wear?
We’ll do a consultation before the shoot so I will know how you would love to be photographed and what styles resonate with you. I have a collection of over 40 dresses in all sizes. I’ll encourage you to bring any clothing or jewellery items that are sentimental.
When do I see my photographs?
We will meet for a Reveal Session a few days to a week after the shoot.
I’m not photogenic though! Is that ok?
Let me debunk one big lie society brought us to think, “Their is no such thing of being photogenic.” You either have a good portrait of you or you don’t, it has nothing to with your self-worth.

The 40 over 40 photoshoot are taking place on Tuesday & Thursday for the weekdays and we have limited Sundays available at a premium of €1100 including €400 credit towards a collection. Shooting start at 10am if you are by yourself 9.30 if you bring your mom, friend, sister.
Availability is first come first served. On your phone chat with Lucie she will share next available dates and make sure to find an opening that works for you. If you are SUPER EXCITED to participate but just can’t possibly make those times work let’s chat about your availability. I want to be as inclusive as possible for this project but I am working around my hair & makeup artist’s schedule too. We will do our best to accommodate you.
What if I want more than one photo?
Absolutely! You’ll have the opportunity at the Reveal Session to purchase additional matted prints, beautiful Folio boxes or albums to store and display your new photos and Wall Art. When you see the stunning portraits we have created for you, you’ll probably want them all! Extra photographs (including the digital and 5×7 print on 8×10 mat) are €285 each, though the more you buy, the more you save. You can save by purchasing collections. Our packages with 8 images start at €1400 and go up from there. We do take credit cards and offer interest free payment plans as well.
