40 over 40 - 2022
I’m looking for 40 women to join me in a project in 2022 to show the wisdom, strength, beauty and resilience that is the gift of age.
I want to change the way women view themselves, I want to challenge the narrative that defines our cultural beauty standards.
40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and beyond have never looked so good. We are too experienced not to be heard and too beautiful not to be celebrated.
I want every woman to experience herself through my lens, to exist in photographs, and to truly love every step of the journey.
One day, your children will look for pictures of you… What will they find?
What others are saying…
“I most definitely do not feel comfortable in front of the camera, so much so I would use capitals for the DO NOT. Somehow Fiona managed to not only coax me outside of myself to let down my barriers, she managed to make me feel so comfortable in her company, I almost forgot I was in a photoshoot and I actually enjoyed myself. For the first time in a long time, I felt beautiful. I can’t thank you enough Fiona” — Holly
“This experience exceeded all expectations. This boosted my self-confidence beyond where it has ever been, you found my beautiful and that will last a lifetime. I’ve never enjoyed formal photoshoots but I so totally loved this experience from start to finish, and it was worth every cent! Thank you so very much Fiona, my 80 year old Mum cried with excitement seeing them and my sons love them too, I just know they will live on from generation to generation and I’m so very proud, they are so beautiful!” — Janine
this experience includes:
📞
Pre-shoot consultation
This is for us to chat and get to know each other before your shoot, and to learn all the details you want to know about the process. Fiona will answer any questions you might have, and will ask you how you want to be seen, what your greatest hopes and fears are for this experience, and help give you guidance on selecting different outfits to bring to your photoshoot.
🖥
In-studio Image Reveal
About 2 weeks after your photo shoot, you’ll come back into the studio to view and choose your images. Bring whoever you’d like to help you with this process, this part is lots of fun! While there’s no obligation to purchase additional images, if you do wish to purchase more, you can apply $150 studio credit (as a gift from us!) towards any product or collection you like.
💄
Professional hair & makeup styling
Show up on the day of your shoot fresh-faced, ready to relax and enjoy this pampering experience. This is NOT bad 80’s glamour makeup, this is about you feeling confident and being camera-ready. Our professional stylists use an easy visual guide so you can communicate the exact look you want and be 100% happy with the results. For more info, check out the FAQ’s. Make sure you plan to go out afterwards!
🌟
Share your story
Our stories have the power to lift and inspire others. As one of our chosen 40 over 40, you have the chance to share your story and be featured on our blog. We’ll send you a short questionnaire asking your views on things like confidence, ageing and motherhood, plus an opportunity to tell your own story (as much or as little as you like).
📷
1.5hr studio photo shoot
There is no stiff, awkward poses or forced smiles here, check out the gallery to see the kind of beautiful, authentic images you can expect, or read the testimonials to learn that this is an experience you will love! You can include up to 11 people - who do you want to be photographed with? Your Grandmother, Mother & Daughters? Your partner and children? Or an experience all to yourself?
♥️
Your favourite image
You will receive a beautifully matted 7”x10” traditional photographic print of your favourite image for participating in this campaign, ready to frame and hang on the wall for you and your loved ones to enjoy now, and for years to come.

About photographer Fiona Lindberg -
I’m a portrait photographer for women who want more than just a pretty picture.
My portrait sessions are a journey into self-value that provide a life-changing experience of confidence in front of the camera and a lasting, gorgeous trophy of that feeling in the form of the best photographs you have ever seen of yourself.
Re-awaken the ‘You’ you have put upon the shelf in favour of your work, your children or the call of ‘more important’ duties… The You that has become forgotten, lost or neglected. I will guide you gently into a space where you can let go of your fears, insecurities and your self-critical talk, where you can shed the false idea that you can’t look and feel beautiful, exactly as you are, today.
This is not forced, cheesy, stiff, awkward poses and fake smiles. This is definitely not bad 80’s formal portraits.
This is a time to allow yourself to feel unapologetically beautiful, and to share that feeling with your daughter, your mother, girlfriends or partner - or - enjoy this experience all to yourself.
This is a chance to celebrate the relationships in your life, to truly honour where you’ve come from, who you are today and the people who’ve been there for you every step of the journey.
This is the time to embrace your own imperfect perfection, to see yourself in a new light, and re-connect to the woman inside who is finally ready to spread her wings.
Stop avoiding the camera, it’s time to exist in photographs. I invite you to book a session with me, it will change the way you see yourself.
