Fearless Over 40 – Empowerment Portraits for Women in Charlotte, NC
This Project is for you if…
You’re in your 40s, 50s, 60s, or beyond
You’re ready to celebrate yourself with a powerful portrait experience
You want to tell your story and inspire others
You’re tired of being invisible and want to show the world what age really looks like
The Fearless Over 40 Project is more than a photoshoot—it’s a movement. It’s about women reclaiming visibility, beauty, and voice at every stage of life.
Too often, society tells women they fade with age. This project proves the opposite: confidence, power, and beauty only deepen.
Why I Created Fearless over 40
My name is Stephanie, I own and operate Graston Studios in Charlotte, NC. As a woman over 40, I know firsthand how easy it is to put yourself last, waiting for “the right time” to celebrate your beauty, or feeling unseen in a world obsessed with youth.
This project is personal. My daughters and my mother (pictured above) inspire me daily, and I want them to know what it looks like to step fully into their own power.
Fearless Over 40 was created so every woman can see herself reflected as strong, radiant, and worthy, because she always has been.
Celebrating Women over 40 & beyond through an immersive portrait experience
I'd love for you to be one of them!
I am calling all Women over 40, any shape, any size, any background, and places in life to invite you to my studio for a Magazine Style Portrait Session.
What’s Included in the Fearless Over 40 Experience
Women over 40: The Magazine
Every woman who participates is featured in Fearless Over 40 Magazine, a printed collection of stories and portraits celebrating confidence, resilience, and beauty beyond 40. You’ll receive your own copy, and your story will become part of a legacy of empowerment.
Makeover and Styled Photoshoot
Step into the spotlight with professional hair and makeup on the day of your shoot. My team styles you so you feel radiant, confident, and ready to shine. You’ll also have full access to my studio wardrobe, with elegant, timeless, and bold options to choose from.
During your photoshoot, I’ll guide you through 5–7 different looks, designed to highlight every side of your personality. I want you to feel like a celebrity for a day!
Immediate Image Reveal
After your session, you’ll sit down with me to view your portraits the same day. You’ll see the transformation and choose the images you love most. My goal is for you to walk away with portraits that make you say, “I’ve never seen myself like this before.”
