In a world that often celebrates youth and beauty as the pinnacle of existence, it's refreshing to witness a movement that challenges societal norms and embraces the beauty found in ordinary women. The 40 Over 40 Birthday Photoshoot is an empowering project that celebrates the elegance, wisdom, and charisma that come with age.



Irene celebrated her 40th birthday with an authentic experience participating in 40 over 40 project in New Hampshire.

Irene is very talented and creative jewelry maker. She used some of her creations during her photoshoot, you can see them on photos.

She brought all her artistic talent and creativity to this photoshoot.

We choose a few different styles for her, but one of my favorites is Red on Red

which gives this rich, vibrant look and at the same time adds some drop of mystery.

I will post her other looks in my next blogpost.

Through intimate conversations, we uncover their dreams, aspirations, and the challenges they've overcome, revealing the hidden gems within their souls.

Turning 40 is often viewed as a significant milestone in a woman's life, and the 40 Over 40 project recognizes and commemorates this pivotal moment. With each birthday photoshoot, the women are not only capturing their external beauty but also embracing the wisdom and experiences they have gained over the years.

In this fast-paced digital age, where smartphones and social media dominate our lives, the value of printed photographs may seem to have diminished. However, there is an irreplaceable charm and significance in holding a tangible photograph in your hands—a keepsake that encapsulates a moment frozen in time. Let us delve into the enduring value of printed photographs and why they hold a special place in our hearts.



  1. Tangible Connections: Printed photographs evoke a sense of nostalgia and emotional connection that digital images often struggle to replicate. The act of physically flipping through an album or displaying cherished photographs on the wall creates a tangible and interactive experience, triggering fond memories and stories that can be shared with loved ones. There is a joy in gathering around a photo album, tracing the faded edges and reliving the captured moments.

  2. Preserving History: Printed photographs serve as historical artifacts, capturing slices of life that shape our personal and collective narratives. From family milestones to cultural events, these physical prints become a tangible record of our history, connecting us to our past and allowing future generations to understand their roots. Holding a photograph taken decades ago can transport us to a different era, fostering a sense of appreciation for our heritage.

  3. Uninterrupted Access: Unlike digital files that require a device and an internet connection, printed photographs provide uninterrupted access to cherished memories. There's no reliance on technology or the fear of losing files due to accidental deletions or system failures. Printed photographs can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere, without the need for electricity or an internet connection, making them accessible to all, regardless of technological constraints.

  4. Aesthetic Appeal: Printed photographs offer a tangible and aesthetic quality that digital images often lack. The feel of high-quality paper, the texture of an old photo, and the richness of colors can evoke a sense of beauty and artistry. Printed photographs can be displayed as wall art, creating a personalized and visually appealing ambiance in our homes. Framing a photograph brings it to life, transforming it into a cherished piece of decor that reflects our unique personality and style.

  5. Enhancing Emotional Well-being: Research suggests that surrounding ourselves with printed photographs can have a positive impact on our emotional well-being. The presence of these tangible reminders of happy moments and loved ones can evoke feelings of joy, comfort, and gratitude. Printed photographs have the power to uplift our spirits, serving as a visual reminder of the people and experiences that bring meaning to our lives.

Conclusion: In a digital world, the value of printed photographs endures, offering a unique and unmatched experience. They connect us to our past, strengthen family bonds, and decorate our living spaces with love and nostalgia. As we navigate a world that constantly evolves technologically, let us not forget the beauty and significance of printed photographs, for they hold an eternal place in our hearts and preserve our most treasured memories for generations to come.

Once upon a time, when I was still young and beautiful, I decided to change my life. It was very hard time for me, I struggled a lot, trying to raise my kids alone, trying to keep up with my business and finances. And after two unfortunate attempts I never wanted to get married anymore.

I was broken. I was alone. I felt that I am getting older and thought that nobody will be interested in me. I was ready to live my life as it is until this magic happened.

I realized that sometimes life is changing by itself, without even asking what I want and what I don’t want. You can call it anything, I call it Hand of God.

When I was giving up my wishes and relied on His Will, I’ve got some incredible changes – I have now very happy marriage and home.

When you want to change something, you have to act. In this case I applied to the dating agency and I grabbed all money I had and hired a good expensive photographer as well as makeup artist. They created incredible images for my dating profile and literarily after 2 month of posting them, I found my soul mate in Internet. And we are now together for 12 years.

Do not underestimate the power of professional images created by a professional photographer.

Sometimes they can play a main role in improving or changing your destiny.

I encourage you to do whatever it takes to change your situation.

Did you get through ugly divorce recently or many years ago ? And are you still in a stage of healing?

Did you loose someone very dear to you - your partner, you love? Are you feeling emptiness in your heart?

Oh, guess what! It all can be changed!

Just simply take some steps towards yourself.

I promise that beauty photoshoot can be life-changing. It did for me and it will do for you!


Live your life, love yourself, put your beautiful portrait on the wall of your house (not just in social media). Look at it every day and believe in yourself, believe in your beauty and believe that you destiny will change!
