Authentic Women: Caroline's Over 40 Portrait Session

Aug 15

At Photo Finish Photography, we believe that every woman deserves to be celebrated for her unique journey, especially those embracing life beyond 40. Our Ageless Over 40 sessions are designed to honour the beauty, strength, and individuality that come with experience. Recently, we had the pleasure of capturing Caroline's radiant spirit during her personalized portrait session.

Caroline, at 60, approached us seeking a blend of professional headshots for job applications and personal portraits to celebrate her birthday. She was drawn to our clean, straightforward photography style that emphasizes authenticity over heavy retouching.

Reflecting on her past, Caroline shared that the last professional photos she had were at her wedding in 1985 and her sons' weddings in 2019 and 2020. She wanted this session to capture her as she is now—healthy, strong, a bit quirky, and unapologetically herself. Caroline emphasised her desire to avoid the typical "power suit" look or any attempt to appear younger through excessive photoshopping. She embraces her natural beauty, including the changes that come with age, and has chosen not to undergo cosmetic surgery.

From the moment Caroline arrived at our Lane Cove studio, her positive energy was infectious. With professional hair and makeup enhancing her natural beauty, she effortlessly transitioned between poses, guided by our team's expertise in lighting and styling. Caroline's enthusiasm and trust made the session not only productive but genuinely enjoyable for everyone involved.

We're thrilled to share that several images from Caroline's session received a Bronze Award at the 2022 International Portrait Masters Competition, a testament to the authenticity and connection captured during our time together.
