WHAT IS IT ABOUT

Over the past decade of photographing women, I am always left in awe of the women over 40.

I see their beauty, their knowledge, their grace, and I am blown away by them.

I see this, even in the women who are struggling to see it for themselves.

And I want to show women how I, and the rest of the world see them. I want to reflect your beauty back to you so that you can celebrate and see yourself in a whole new way.

I wish there was more representation of women 40+ in the media. And I’m on a mission to start filling the media feeds of those who follow my work with more of exactly that – women over 40.

I want to celebrate the amazing women over 40 in my community!

Will you join me on my mission?

I WORK WITH WOMEN WANTING TO:

… celebrate themselves and their lives so far.

… feel confident and what it is like to be pampered for the day. 

… see themselves how their loved ones see them.

… have an image of themselves that they absolutely love. 

… have a stress free and wonderful photo experience. 

… represent their business and brand with confidence.

CONSULTATION:


Let me help you figure out how you want to be photographed. We will plan and decide who you want to be photographed with and customise your photo session specifically to you. During this consultation I will also help you pick out and decide exactly what to wear for your session and while you decide how professional, casual, glam or sexy you want your session to be. 

And this is where I help you transform your fears around being photographed into excitement to be photographed 😀

One of my lovely professional hair stylists and make up artists will join us on the day of your session to help you have the style of camera-ready, custom make-up you want. You get to choose how much or how little make up you have on and how glam or natural you want your make up and hair to be.

“Over my years as a photographer it has been the most incredible experience observing how woman flourish on their wedding day when they are in a dress they love, surrounded by love, and are all made up – and ultimately when they just feel absolutely incredible about themselves. It boggles my brain that we don’t allow ourselves the opportunity to feel this way more often. 

So, come join me, let’s get your hair and make up done, wear your best dress, feel incredible about yourself and have beautiful portraits taken – let me show you your beauty, and change the way you see yourself.”

Testimonials

“I came to Tamryn to get some headshots and photographs done for my marketing, I’m busy updating it, and I am absolutely blown away. Absolutely blown away with the results. I can’t believe that I actually look like this, I was here last week for the photoshoot – it was the most amazing day – we had such fun. I had my makeup done, we had laughs, I felt special, it was just so much fun. And today I come to have a look and pick them up and I just don’t know what to choose.

This is going to help my business immensely in my marketing. I am an all or nothing person, and I’m a perfectionist, and I just can’t thank Tamryn enough for the results. I am absolutely amazed.”

– Janice

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually loved my photo shoot experience! Normally, I hate being in front of the camera—it’s just not my thing. But this was completely different. Tamryn made the entire session feel so relaxed and enjoyable, I almost forgot I was having my picture taken.

 

From the moment I walked in, Tamryn’s warmth and professionalism put me at ease. She guided me through every step with such care and attention to detail. Her ability to make me feel beautiful and confident was incredible. She has an amazing eye for capturing not just how you look but how you feel.

 

The results? Absolutely stunning. I couldn’t believe how beautiful I looked in the photos, she brought out a side of me I didn’t even know existed. I’m beyond thrilled with the outcome.

 

If you’re someone who dreads having their photo taken, trust me, Tamryn will change that. This wasn’t just a photo shoot; it was a confidence boost and an unforgettable experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat with Tamryn. Highly, highly recommend!”

FAQ's

Who can participate?

Any woman aged 40 and over is welcome! This campaign celebrates women in every season of life, your background, shape, age, or story doesn’t need to look a certain way. If you’re 40+, you belong here.

Where do the portrait sessions take place?

Most sessions take place in my Johannesburg studio, but you are welcome to choose a different location. This could be an outdoor space, your home, or even something completely unexpected. Rented spaces are for your account and if the session is outside Johannesburg, travel fees apply. 

Can I purchase more portraits?

Absolutely. Your sitting fee includes the full experience; your consultation, professional hair and makeup, your portrait session, your reveal, one portrait, and your feature in the 40 Over 40 magazine. Many clients choose to purchase the 40-image collection, and I also offer 20-image and 10-image collections. You only purchase the portraits you love at your reveal.

I don’t usually wear make up.

The goal is to enhance your natural beauty, we are not going to change or transform you. My makeup artist keeps everything soft, natural, and true to you. But, you choose exactly how much or how little makeup you feel comfortable with.

I don’t have anything to wear.

You don’t need a big wardrobe. I guide you through outfit choices, and you’re welcome to bring a small selection from your closet. Together, we create looks that photograph well and reflect your personality.

I am not photogenic. 

Most of my clients say this before their session, and nearly all of them leave saying they’ve never looked better. My job is to guide you with flattering angles, soft direction, and lighting that works for every woman over 40. I’ve got you!

I don’t know how to pose.

You don’t have to. I guide you through every movement. How to sit, stand, soften your shoulders, position your hands, and where to look. You can relax and follow my direction.

When do I get to view the gallery of images?

Your reveal session takes place about 10-14 days after your portrait session. This is when you see your full gallery (either in person at the studio or via Zoom) and choose the portraits you’d like to purchase.

I want to sign up, what’s the next step?

Submit your details on the form on this page. I’ll contact you to schedule a consultation where we’ll plan your session, talk outfits, hair and makeup, and answer any questions.

I’m 70, can I still participate?

Absolutely. The campaign is open to women 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and beyond. Your age is part of your strength and beauty, there’s no upper limit.

I don’t have a story, but I want to be part of the campaign, can I?

Yes. You don’t need a dramatic story to belong here. Your life, your experiences, your growth, and your presence are enough. Every woman contributes something meaningful to this project.
