The 40 Over 40 Experience

JOIN MY PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE WHERE I CAPTURE WOMEN IN THEIR 40s…
As a woman in my forties, I can relate to women worrying about their age, looks, or simply not feeling worthy enough to celebrate their story and body. This inspired me to celebrate and empower women to embrace self-love and their beauty.
So in 2022, I set out to photograph 40 women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond, celebrating their unique beauty through empowering portrait sessions. Over these years, I’ve had the honor of capturing and celebrating the stories of 120 incredible women.
If you are a woman over the age of 40, I invite you to apply to join my 40 Over 40 experience. If you’re selected to participate, you’ll get 50% OFF your custom portrait experience.

THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME
GET A BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK
LUXURY PORTRAITS ARE VALUABLE MEMORIES
Women LOVE hiding behind the camera. Thousands of photographs of their families, pets, and friends. But, they seem not to be able to justify that they deserve to live in photographs, too. For their loved ones and most importantly for themselves.

GET TO KNOW YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER
HI, I’M DANIJELA
As a photographer, I was often met with a shy resistance by my female clients over the age of 40 about having their individual portrait taken in addition to the portraits of them with their pet, their family, or their significant other.
The insecurities would surface and with it the conversations about aging and the feeling of not being enough anymore. These are common worries most women share. I heard them all and I promised every woman I photographed that I will take the most beautiful portraits they had ever seen of themselves in a fun, stress-free session.
Ladies, we, women over 40 deserve to love ourselves. We Are Enough.
