40 OVER 40: THE CREATIVE SESSIONS
PRESENTED BY C.S. MARCHAND PHOTOGRAPHY
I plan to photograph 40 women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond between 2023 and 2025. Will you be one of them?
Experience an unforgettable creative portrait photo shoot in Southeastern Connecticut that will celebrate & capture every facet of you.
SCROLL TO LEARN MORE
Every incredible woman shown above is over 40.
Here are some of the things they had to say after their photo shoot experience:
ABOUT THE TEAM
My name is Claire Marchand, and I am a portrait photographer. I believe that everyone deserves to look and feel incredible in photographs.
I am passionate about helping you evolve your confidence through empowering photo shoot experiences. It is my greatest honor & joy to capture women of all ages and show them (you!) that they are powerful and uniquely beautiful.
Keely Lozier is a professional wardrobe stylist, creative director, and my right hand woman. Oh — and she does the best hair wind in the business!
Keely is an integral part of every photo shoot, from planning to the final product. She is an expert in what looks good on camera — from wardrobe and accessories to set design. She and I work closely to translate your vision into incredible photographs.
In addition to styling for camera, Keely also styles people for everyday life and special events.
The 40 Over 40 Creative Sessions are $450 (an $850 value)
Your experience includes:
CONSULTATION
During this Zoom, we will discuss your vision, go over the process in detail, and you can ask any questions you may have. From there we will take a look at dates, finalize the booking process, and begin customizing your photo shoot together!
WARDROBE STYLING
The 40 Over 40 Creative Sessions include one creative concept/look. Keely, our studio wardrobe stylist will connect with you before your shoot via Zoom. Dressing for camera is much different than for real life, and she is an expert in both. Her job is to ensure that the wardrobe lines up with your vision!
PHOTO SHOOT
When you arrive for your photo shoot, Keely will finalize wardrobe while you are relaxing in hair and makeup. Once you are styled, you will step onto your set. You don’t need to worry about knowing how to be photographed, I will show you how to pose from head to toe and coach you through expressions that achieve the feel you want your images to have.
HAIR & MAKEUP
Professional hair & makeup is included in every session. My artists are well versed in working with all skin & hair types, tones, and textures and can create looks from the most natural (but still camera ready) to full glam!
REVEAL & SELECTION
After your photo shoot, I will invite you back into the studio or we will meet over Zoom to view your images together. This is when you will choose your favorite portraits and create your collection! I will guide you through the selection process as well as customizing print products & wall art to display your gorgeous portraits at home.
For participating in the 40 Over 40 Creative Sessions, you will receive one complimentary fine art matted print + corresponding digital file as my gift to you. This is valued at $250. If you choose to upgrade to a collection, that amount will be applied as credit.
Once all 40 women have been captured, it’s time to celebrate!
The 40 Over 40 Creative Sessions will culminate in a gallery show inspired event — you are art and I am going to show you and the world! We will gather to sip, mingle, and highlight each incredible woman who has been a part of the campaign.
In order to be a part of the 40 Over 40 Creative Sessions, I ask that:
You sign a model release — this allows me to share your story & portraits on my website, social media, and display at the gallery event!
Your photo shoot must take place between May 1st, 2023 and December 31st, 2025.
You are ready to trust my team to create the most breathtaking portraits you’ve ever seen of yourself.
Will you be one of our 40 women over 40?
