HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

I am offering the 40 OVER 40 Experience for a special promotion package for only $395.

The regular price for this session is over $900, but because I want women to celebrate themselves at this time of their life, I’m offering a significant discount.

You are guaranteed one image you love. If you love more than one, which I know you will, you can add on more with my VIP package pricing (only available only to the 40 over 40 participants).

WHAT DOES THE $395 INCLUDE?

As one of my ‘40 OVER 40’ women, you will receive:

● PRE CONSULTATION: To discuss how you want to be photographed, what outfits you would like to wear etc.

● HAIR AND MAKEUP: On the day of the photo shoot you will be taken care of by my fabulous makeup artist. (you will feel amazing!)

• PHOTOSHOOT EXPERIENCE: Fully guided professional photo shoot in my San Diego studio where I will pose you down to your expression and fingertips.

• COMPLIMENTARY LEGACY PORTRAIT: You'll  choose your favorite image from your reveal and ordering session where you can see all your beautiful photographs, and have the opportunity to purchase more with my packages only available to the 40 over 40 women. (Most of my clients purchase a collection between 12 - 20 images or buy them all.)

• YOU'LL BE CELEBRATED IN MY UPCOMING EXHIBIT EVENT: When the portrait series is complete you will be celebrated in an exhibition featuring a portrait of each of the fabulous 40 women over 40. Every woman will be celebrated and honored!

THE EVENT

TO SHOWCASE THE PORTRAIT SERIES…

YOUR STORY INTERVIEW with Michelle will be answering questions about stepping into your power after 40, what beauty means to you, etc. You will be able to share your story. That interview may be shared on my website, blog and social media.

Your story will be used to showcase the portrait series at the 40 over 40 gallery exhibition and in promotional materials including on my website, blog and social media platforms to share how FABULOUS you are with the world.

All 40 participants will come together to celebrate each other and share our stories. I believe that magic happens when women gather and are able to just be and feel seen and heard. There is power in gathering and sharing!

3. CELEBRITY STYLE PHOTOSHOOT

You will enjoy an expertly guided magazine-style photoshoot. Not photogenic? Nonsense! It is my job to connect and make you comfortable, to show you in your best light with flattering posing. Get ready to feel confident and amazing!

4. THE REVEAL

You will be able to see your photos the same day!

After the shoot we will take a break and then I will show you your final images. You choose your complimentary photo and be able to purchase all of the images you love. We offer a variety of custom products to showcase your beautiful images including albums, prints, folio boxes of matted prints and wall art.

All I need is 15 min of your time (via phone) to walk you through the 40 over 40 Experience.

The images were incredible. I couldn’t believe it was me in some of them! I loved how calm and supportive you were during the session. You made everything incredibly easy. Plus, I love how professional you are – you really knew the best poses and angles as well as getting the best lighting and using the right props and backgrounds.

In those pictures, I saw myself in a whole new light, which gave me more confidence to grow my business quickly. I’ve worked with many photographers, and Michelle’s ability to capture the most attractive expressions and poses and her editing abilities are outstanding and the best I have ever seen.

~ Nagina

I feel like getting my photos taken is such a confidence boost. It’s empowering, and I feel like a million bucks afterwards. Michelle is really professional and has such talent, it’s such a pleasure to work with her.

~ Alexis

All women over 40, 50, 60, 70+ are invited.

I have photographed stunning images of women of different shapes and sizes; women with different tastes, from different backgrounds and with different views of life.

The Michelle Hayes Studio Experience is an exciting, pampering, indulgent adventure, custom tailored and focused on YOU! Think about how you want to be captured, what does your legacy look like?

My passion is to take the every-day woman and give her an unforgettable celebrity-style, magazine photoshoot experience. It's about so much more than just "taking pretty pictures." My hope is for you to truly reconnect with yourself, see your beauty & spirit the way others already see you.

I invite you to see yourself in a new light!

My name is Michelle! I’m 50 and a San Diego-based portrait photographer. This is the most powerful portrait series that I have worked on with clients to date.

I started my portrait and photography business because I wanted to create something very special as a gift for ALL women to enjoy. This experience will be fun, fulfilling, and transformational.

I know that women in this age group are beautiful, desirable and vibrant beings doing amazing things I want to highlight their beauty and share their stories to start to change the way media defines us.

This is a Beauty Revolution and I would love for you to join me!

xoxo Michelle
