WHAT IS THE 40 OVER 40 PROJECT?
This is more than just a picture —it’s about loving the woman you’ve become, accepting who you are right now, and embracing your age at 40, 50, and beyond. It’s about feeling comfortable in your own skin, or with the shape of your body, and loving every wrinkle and strand of gray hair you have.
It is a celebration of living;
a reflection on your journey, character, & spirit;
an opportunity to inspire a younger generation to see growing older as something to embrace rather than something to hide.
Over the next 24 months, I would like to photograph 40 women who have reached 40, 50, 60, and beyond.
The project will culminate in an elegant coffee table book with your beautiful pictures and inspiring words of wisdom.
WHY YOU SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROJECT:
*So you can celebrate all the unique and beautiful things about you
*To embrace who you are right now, no matter your size, no matter your age, no matter your imperfections, scars, wrinkles, lines, or flaws, and ESPECIALLY if you don't believe you can do this
*To encourage and inspire other women to celebrate and embrace themselves just as they are
*To learn to love who you see in the mirror; the powerful, courageous, vibrant, loving, beautiful work of art that you are right now
*To have beautiful artwork that celebrates this active, growing, journeying, fully alive time in your life

HOW TO APPLY
To apply you must first agree to the use of your image(s) on social media, print media, website, and any other marketing platforms of Alli Gaulin Photographs, to be interviewed by me and be willing to share encouragement, inspiration, or a story that highlights things you have accomplished or created after you turned 40. At the end of the project, I will publish a hardcover book with all of the participants' photographs and words of wisdom.
All applications will be reviewed. If selected, a confirmation email will be sent to schedule the consultation.
If you’re not selected for this round, you will be able to apply again soon. My goal is to photograph as many women over 40 as possible to show them that they can and should celebrate their beauty at any age and to inspire every woman to do the same.
