TO SHOWCASE THE 40 OVER 40 EXPERIENCE:

You may be asked to fill out questionnaires and participate in video interviews (by me) to find out your views about being a woman over 40, what beauty means to you, etc.

That interview may be shared on my website, blog and social media.
Before and After makeover photos may be shown.
Your story will be used to showcase the portrait series at the 40 Over 40 Experience exhibition

There has never been a better time in history to be a woman over 40!

Let’s celebrate that beauty doesn’t diminish with age.
Help us tell your story about what it means to be over 40 today.
Celebrate your beauty and appreciate every scar, every line and every grey (or purple!) hair.

We intend to disrupt & transform the way we are viewed (or forgotten) by the media and society by putting out beautiful, authentic images and real stories of ourselves. This is your chance to be seen and heard!

“These photos are to remember my true self and embrace the aging process and find beauty in it.”
“I hope I can inspire others to understand that aging naturally is beautiful and sexy.”
“I would love to be able to look at a photo of myself and be happy with what I see.”

Because you are beautiful. You are worth celebrating. Allow me to create something incredible with you. It will change the way you see yourself.

WHY OVER 40, WHY ME AND WHY NOW?

Hi I’m Marjorie Dizon, portrait photographer in Beaverton Oregon. In 2022 I set out to photograph 40 Women Over 40 and it has become a passion project for me as I meet amazing women from all walks of life with their stories and dreams. As I turn 48, I realize this project is a mirror to my own journey to self love.

Everything starts with loving yourself. You are worth it. It is going to be an experience you won’t forget and it will take your confidence to a new level.

TAKE A LOOK AT EVERYTHING INCLUDED:

1.

Consultation: Wardrobe & Styling, Planning

We’ll discuss all the details involved with a session including wardrobe, hair & makeup, what to bring, how to prepare and everything else you’ll need to know about your special day! You will have the chance to let me know of any special requests or how you dream of being photographed.

2.

Professional Hair & Makeup

On the morning of the photo shoot, you’ll be introduced to our professional hair & makeup artist. We’ll consult with you on how you wish to wear your hair and makeup. Whether you want to stay more natural, or go full glam, it’s all up to you!

Celebrity Style Photo Shoot

I’ll be directing you every step of the way so you won’t need to worry about a thing. Our job is to help you feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. You’re amazing and no detail is too small to make this a perfect day for you.

Need more encouragement? Hear it from them:

Tammy, 51

It has been about 30 years since I have been professionally photographed probably because of my modeling experience when I was younger and it kind of detoured me from getting back into it just because of the harshness of the business itself... yeah. It's taken me 30 years and I'm really excited. I'm glad I did this and I'm ready to do it again.
Kristie, 47

As women, as girls, we are taught to be what other people are expecting of us. We are taught to show up with a certain look or show up with a certain set of behaviors or show up with a certain intelligence or lack of intelligence and it's our job to be seen as the things they expect and the hardest thing about becoming your own woman is learning how to be who you are and show up in that in a really authentic way. That has been my challenge for this experience is to let myself be seen in a way that reflects who I am genuinely and authentically without the guard that happens when I can just be what someone else thinks that they should see.
Sara, 51

I’m excited to be a part of showing that women over 40 are strong, beautiful, vibrant, and truly alive.
As a breast cancer survivor, mom, widow, and new grandmother, I’ve lived a lot of life so far, and look forward to all that remains to be experienced for me into the future.
I’ve always been the person behind the camera, capturing life experiences… this would flip my standard script and give me the opportunity to see myself as I am.
Joanne, 67

I received a diagnosis of Parkinson’s a few short months ago. You’d think I’d be sinking into despair at the thought, but I am actually more energized and determined to proceed with my life of promise and possibilities! I am more alive now than I’ve been in years, attuned to my inner self and desires! No, this is a time to celebrate and continue dreaming!! It is not a time to give up! This is why I want to participate in this project, to show, as C.S. Lewis said, “You are never too old to set another goal or dream a new dream.
Donna, 77

We don't think of ourselves enough to just have a portrait of us for ourselves. The main reason I'm having a portrait taken is that right now I feel healthy and I want to have a picture of me for my family for my memorial. I was just at a friend's funeral and it was a lovely picture of her - a portrait of her - and I wanted something similar for myself.
Helene, 41

When Marj showed me the back of the camera and I saw some of the shots that she had taken of me I got really emotional because I haven't seen myself that way in what seems like forever. I don't have time to do the beautiful hair and makeup that they did and pose in the way that she helped me pose so I got really emotional. Time right now isn't something that i have much of and it felt really special and it's something I'll be able to show my kids down the road and they'll be able to remember me that way also.
Sherine, 47

Sometimes as we age and go through different seasons in our life... we become a mom, we become a wife... sometimes we lose our own selves and I think it's really important to hang on to the girl inside and own who you are authentically through all the seasons of youf life.
