Frequently Asked Questions

+ HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PARTICPATE IN THE 40 OVER 40 PROJECT??

The participation fee is $390. The fee not only holds your date and allows us to book in the hair and makeup artist for your shoot, it also covers the consultation, photoshoot, one gorgeous matted print of your choice and inclusion in the 40 Over 40 Portrait Exhibition.

+ WHAT DOES THE $390 INCLUDE?

  • CONSULTATION - to discuss your vision for how you want to be photographed and coach you on what to wear/styling

  • HAIR & MAKEUP - a professional makeover on your photoshoot date

  • PHOTOSHOOT - a 1.5 - 2 hour photoshoot with Trang

  • REVEAL & ORDER SESSION - You'll view and select your favorite images immediately following your portrait session. You can choose the one complimentary image included in your $390 package and place your order for more images. Ala carte portraits are $250 and my collections of 8 or more start at $1500. The more photographs you purchase, the more you save.

  • PORTRAIT CELEBRATION + EXHIBITION - upon completion of the project there will be a celebration and exhibition to showcase the portraits of all 40 women. Your photograph will be included in this event.

  • VIP FACEBOOK GROUP - be a part of a community of women all participating in this project. Share your experience and cheer each other on.

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

+ WHAT IF I WANT MORE THAN ONE PHOTOGRAPH?

Absolutely! When you see the stunning images we have created for you, you'll probably want them all! Extra photographs (including the digital and 5x7 print on 8x10 mat) are $250 each, but the more you buy, the more you save. You can save by purchasing collections. The more you buy, the cost goes down. Our packages with 8 images start at $1490 + tax and go up from there. We do take credit cards and offer payment plans as well.

  • 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 item is a glass-front eco-leather box, hand crafted in Italy, 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 Broomfield. CO:

9769 W 119th Dr, Ste 10
Broomfield, CO 80021

+ WHAT DAYS DO YOU HAVE AVAILABLE FOR THIS SHOOT?

We have timeslots available for shoots during weekday by appointment. Availability is first come first served. On your phone chat with Trang, 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.

+ TELL ME ABOUT THE PORTRAIT EXHIBITION CELEBRATION?

One of the most exciting parts of this project 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 project is complete. Our venue will be announced as we get closer.

+ CELEBRATION? WHY ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS PROJECT?

I will be 44 this year, and I can relate with all my 40+ sisters of the feelings we have about aging 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 a woman just gets better with time, like a fine wine! 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.

+ 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.

+ WHAT WILL I WEAR?

You can wear up to 4 different outfits in your photoshoot. We are building a collection of dresses and gowns for you to play DRESS UP! Or, you can be casual in jeans and a black or white shirt. You can wear a sun dress. You can wear a fancy cocktail dress or jumpsuit. You can wear yoga clothes. 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.

+ WHAT IF I'D LIKE TO INCLUDE MY CHILDREN, PARTNER, PET OR FAMILY?

Certainly! You can definitely include loved ones in your shoot! Extra hair and make up is $150 per person (if needed). 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 PROJECT?

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

+ WHAT IF I BOOKED MY DATE & PAID $390 AND THEN HAVE TO RESCHEDULE?

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 $100 rescheduling fee.

+ 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 exclude anyone who wants to be involved. Basically, this project is first come, first served. If you are willing to connect with Trang for a "get to know you" call, pay your $390participation fee, book your date, are over 40 (or turning 40 this year) you can be a part of the shoot! 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.
