When was the last time you felt truly SEEN?
2025 is dedicated to photographing 40 Women over 40. At the conclusion of the series, we'll have an exhibition of all the women photographed!
I’m Colleen Neel, a branding and portrait photographer based in Nashville—and I created this campaign to celebrate women over 40 and help them feel truly seen, exactly as they are right now.
As women, we often spend so much of our lives showing up for others- at some point we need to start seeing ourselves for who we are.
I want you to see the beauty in yourself that others can see in you.
This portrait experience isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about capturing the story you’ve lived, honoring the woman you’ve become, and giving you an opportunity to feel empowered in front of the camera.
I want you to walk away with images that make you say, “Yes. That’s me.”
It would be my honor to photograph you.
Will you join me?
The Details
Wardrobe and Style Consult
We will have a phone or zoom consultation to go over any ideas you might have for your shoot
I will also coach you on what to wear and bring to your shoot so you don’t have to worry about what works to help you look your best. We will have time for 4-5 outfits during your photoshoot.
Professional Makeup
We give you professional makeup and hair styling on the day of your shoot. The Makeup artist will work with you to achieve the look that you want- whether's that's a natural everyday look or something more glam.
Photoshoot!
Of course the photoshot is where you really get to shine!
Worried you're not photogenic? You're not alone—and you're exactly who this is for.
My job is to guide you every step of the way. With expert direction, flattering lighting, styling, and posing, I’ll show you how to feel confident and look amazing in front of the camera.
Most women arrive a little nervous. But by the end? You’ll leave feeling genuinely surprised at how fun and affirming the whole experience was.
Photo Reveal
One- two weeks after your session, you’ll return to the studio for your image reveal!!
This is when you’ll see your portraits for the first time and choose your complimentary image (included in your session and featured in the final 40 Over 40 exhibition).
You’ll have the option to purchase additional images as well. We will take a lot of variety so there will definitely be more than a few you’ll love.
