+ WHAT IF I WANT MORE THAN ONE PHOTOGRAPH?
Absolutely! When you see the 30-60 stunning images we have created for you, you'll probably want them all! Extra photographs (including the digital and 5x7 print in 8x10 mat) are £250 each, but the more you buy, the more you save. You can save by purchasing photograph collections. The more you buy, the cost goes down. Our packages with 8 images start at £1490 and go up from there. We do take credit cards and offer payment plans as well. Our wall arts start from £600, and wall art collections like the one you see on the left from £2600.
+ TELL ME ABOUT YOUR PRODUCTS FOR SALE
I offer beautiful products to store and display your new photographs, including matted prints, albums, folio boxes and wall art. My most popular items are wall art collections and a glass-front treasure box, hand crafted in Scotland, which sits on your mantel or bookshelf to show off your new matted prints. It's like a living frame, where you may swap out the photo in the front at any time.
+ WHERE DOES THE SHOOT TAKE PLACE?
My portrait studio is in North London, nearest station is Bounds Green, just off of North Circular.
+ WHAT DAYS DO YOU HAVE AVAILABLE FOR THIS SHOOT?
We have time slots available for shoots during weekday mornings by appointment. On your discovery call we will share next available dates and make sure to find an opening that works for you.
+ TELL ME ABOUT THE PORTRAIT EXHIBITION + CELEBRATION?
One of the most exciting parts of this experience is to celebrate all 40 of our participants and share your images and stories with the community. There will also be a final celebration featuring all 40 women's portraits on display once this experience is complete. Our venue will be announced as we get closer to the end of photographing all 40 women.
+ WHY ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE?
I turned 40 this year, and I can relate with all my 40+ sisters of the feelings we have about ageing 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 age is just a number! I am a huge believer in women's empowerment. There aren't enough platforms for women over 40 to share their story and their beauty and I want to be one who does.
+ I'M NOT PHOTOGENIC THOUGH! IS THAT OK?
Whoa, stop right there beauty! I simply don't believe in "photogenic." 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. I will pose you from the top of your head to the tip of your toes with beautiful hands placement including.
+ WHAT WILL I WEAR?
You can wear up to 7 different outfits in your photoshoot. We will schedule your personalised zoom styling consultations where you can show me your favourite wardrobe outfits for you to play DRESS UP! Or, you can be casual in jeans and a black or white shirt. You can wear a summer dress. You can wear a fancy cocktail dress or jumpsuit. You can wear yoga clothes. You could even wear lingerie or your no clothes at all! There's no rules. This is up to you! I want to photograph you based on YOUR UNIQUE VISION, which we will discover during ZOOM styling call.
+ WHAT IF I'D LIKE TO INCLUDE MY CHILDREN, PARTNER, PET OR FAMILY?
Certainly! You can include loved ones in your shoot! Extra hair and make-up is £200 per person (if needed, but not required). 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 40 TO ALSO BE A PART OF THIS EXPERIENCE?
Yes! I would love to also have your friends be a part of this experience! Please spread the word.
+ WHAT IF I BOOKED MY DATE & PAID £490AND THEN HAVE TO RESCHEDULE?
I 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 no less than 7 days before 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. If you paid the session fee and do not want to participate for any reason, your session fee is non-refundable.
+ 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 include anyone who wants to be involved. Basically, this experience is first come, first served. If you are willing to connect with Paulina for a "discovery" call, pay your session fee, book your date, and are over 40 (or turning 40 this year), then you can be a part of the photo shoot experience! YAY! The other limit is that we only have 40 spots available. Once we hit 40 women, we will create a waitlist of interested women for a next campaign.
