I’m photographing 40 women in their 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s+
I’d love you to be one of them.
YOU’LL BE FEATURED IN MY UPCOMING CELEBRATION AND GALLERY-STYLE EXHIBITION FEATURING WOMEN AND THEIR STORIES!
Let’s celebrate the strength, beauty and wisdom of YOU.
As a mature woman myself, I know first hand that we’re more confident, definitely wiser, and more comfortable in our skin… and this campaign is an opportunity to show the world “we’ve got this.” We are too experienced to not be heard and too beautiful not to be celebrated. Together we can change the way the world views ‘aging’.
Join me as I highlight the beauty, strength and wisdom of women in their 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and beyond. Let me share YOUR story!

WHY OVER 40, WHY ME AND WHY NOW?
My name is Jenn Bates and I’ve been a portrait photographer for 17 years. As I approached the big 5-0 last year, I began to notice the absence of mature women in any form of advertisement (except pharmaceutical). That triggered something in me, and I began to realize that this is the most important time in my life - I feel like I have the most to say NOW, and the most to SHARE. I began to feel personally compelled to demonstrate to my daughters that I’m comfortable in my own skin, to not wait to do the things that fuel my passion or give me purpose. I want to show them that I’m proud of my life as a mom, wife, grandma, daughter, and entrepreneur.
I want there to be a photo of me, right now, that captures exactly who I am at this point in my life. And I’d like to do the same for YOU. If this inspires you, if you feel my vibe, don’t ignore that - join me for this revolutionary experience and let me tell YOUR story. I can’t wait to meet you!

SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
-
Just do this!
“You won’t regret participating in this project, trust me! We loved being pampered by Jenn, she is so sweet - we instantly felt at-ease. We worried we wouldn’t know how to ‘pose’ but she literally poses you down to your fingertips! We had an incredible experience and I treasure the portraits we created with my mom and daughter.”

Highly recommend
“I’m not one to like my own photographs. Jennifer is the consummate professional who put me at ease, and took her time getting me comfortable; I’m very happy with the results.”
-
Own it!
“I absolutely loved my shoot with Jenn! I felt like a model. I’m usually very camera shy but I’m trying to break out of my shell and try new things, so this project was perfect for me. I highly recommend doing this, if you haven’t stepped into your power yet, you WILL during this shoot! Go for it - own your power!”
-
I'll treasure these for a lifetime.
“I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to get pictures done with my daughter, and I’m so glad we did this together.
First of all, it was unexpectedly FUN - we had such a relaxed and enjoyable time! And secondly, I can’t tell you how much I cherish our portraits.
I’ll treasure our pictures for a lifetime, but more importantly, I know that my daughter will treasure these for HER lifetime. Jenn - we can’t thank you enough!”
