MY “WHY”

When I was 10, I would sit on my bed with a calculator and see how old I would be in certain years. I remember calculating that in the year 2018 I would turn 50. 50!? My mother wasn’t even that old at the time. I thought, wow, that’s OLD. Little did I know that at 50, I would celebrate by having my own photoshoot in NYC. That’s me in Central Park. (That was so much fun!)

The things I would tell my 10 year old self are: You don’t feel that old. You feel young! In fact, you will become an entrepreneur after age 40! That with age, comes wisdom, experience and a new attitude that life is meant to be lived. That age is a state of mind. That you will still have audacious dreams. We all have a story to tell. It’s an ever evolving story. What’s yours?

Look at Everything Included:

  • Consultation

    About 2 weeks prior to your session, we will meet to discuss wardrobe, how you want to be photographed, and how you want to enjoy your beautiful portraits.

  • Pro Hair and Makeup

    On the day of your photoshoot, enjoy professional hair and makeup. Don’t worry! You’ll still look like you - just polished up for the camera.

  • Guided Photoshoot

    No posing experience needed! We will pose you down to the last fingertip and get a variety of expressions that reflect your personality and spirit.

  • Ordering Appointment

    Immediately following your photoshoot, we will go through your images together and choose your favorites. Wall art? Albums? Bonus products? We will help you decide what’s right for you.

Who can participate?

All women over 40 are invited. That means women in their 40’s through their 90’s or more! We have photographed women of all shapes, ages and sizes; women with different tastes and different views of life.

At Kelley Norcia Photography, we truly aim to give you a pampering, unforgettable, luxury experience focused on YOU.

Think about how you want to be captured. Playful? Sexy? Confident? Badass? What does your legacy look like?

It’s so much more than taking “pretty pictures”. Our hope is for you to truly reconnect with yourself and see your beauty and spirit the way others see you.

TRANSFORMATIONS

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Gerri Ward Angel Wings Boudoir

I want everyone to know that when I did my shoot, I wanted to try something new. I wasn’t sure if I could do it. Let me tell you, Kelley and Traci made me feel so at ease. If you’ve ever thought about doing a shoot, Kelley and Traci are the photographer and stylist for you!! Definitely a “safe space.”

-DORIS

Shoreline White Dress Portrait

“From the moment I walked into your space, meeting and connecting with both you and Traci, you made me feel so comfortable, special, free, confident and beautiful. I loved placing myself in your hands and just letting your talent and eye guide us. It was such a transformational moment for me, because at the time of the shoot, I was going through one of the lowest periods of my life,and the experience of the shoot, and then the reveal were both pivotal points and catalysts that pushed me forward in my healing and how I saw myself. I owe a great deal of my progress to you and Traci! Thank you for helping to set me back on the right road to rediscovering ME…”

-BOBI

Shoreline Photography Angel Wings Boudoir

“I have had more than one session with Kelley and enjoyed each one very much but by far my favorite has been the boudoir one. I am not young or skinny and it can be intimidating posing for pictures especially with less clothes. However, Kelley helped me pose in a way that I was comfortable showing a little bit of skin. I have a big chest, love handles, and thunder thighs. Kelley made me feel beautiful and comfortable and we had so much fun that by the end of the session I felt like a Victoria’s Secret model! Feel beautiful and be beautiful and do it for yourself so you can relive the experience through the photos. You won’t regret it!”

-MARIZOL

Over 40 Black and White Headshot

What an amazing and empowering experience I had with Kelley in her studio. Kelley is quite talented, not only behind the lens, but in making one feel comfortable with the entire process as well. The passion, vision, and work she puts into her projects just radiates from her -- she is the real deal. I felt at ease from start to finish, and that's coming from someone who had never really had hair and makeup done (thanks, Traci!), or a photoshoot just for myself, for that matter. I'll cherish the images from my photoshoot, and I treasure the experience of it just as much. I highly recommend her!

-CAITLIN

Women Over 40 Shoreline Portrait Photographer

What an awesome and empowering experience I had with Kelley and Traci! I did a session for a wedding gift for my now husband and it was so fun! From getting pampered by Traci having my hair and makeup done and making me feel so beautiful to the photo shoot where Kelley made me feel so comfortable with myself, I couldn't have been happier. Not to mention how beautiful the portraits are....Kelley has a great eye for what she does and my photos are amazing! I will treasure them and look forward to having them as I get older to look back on and admire. My husband loves them too, it was a perfect gift!

HEARTFELT TESTIMONIALS

FAQs

  • Ok, let’s get this out of the way right here. First of all, you are beautiful. How do I know? Because beauty comes from within. It’s the light that’s already glowing inside you. I’m going to bring that light to the surface and let everyone see it. Secondly, being “photogenic” is a myth. It’s all about using the best light, proper posing, and genuine expressions. I specialize in modern, authentic portraits and I can give that to you too.

  • When have you last seen a picture of yourself that you love? Really love. Has it been 10 years? Back on your wedding day? A quick candid someone took at a get together? Listen to me: your weight is the least interesting thing about you. I can take 10 lbs off you just with posing alone! (no kidding). Trust me, let’s focus on making you feel and look amazing. You deserve these portraits. And your family doesn’t care what size you are. They love you just the way you are.

  • I work with a professional makeup artist and she’s the best at listening to exactly what you want. We even have visual guides here at the studio to show you, so you are both on the same page. She specializes in camera ready makeup. She knows exactly the right application to help you look great on camera - including turning up the volume on your eye makeup and adding beautiful definition to your eyes with lash extensions. She also knows what NOT to do. For example, she would never use the day-to-day products that would make you look shiny or shimmery, because on camera that would read as greasy. Instead she uses pro products that make your skin appear flawless on camera. If you’ve seen the images on my website, 100% of these women have benefited from using the services of our pro makeup artist. If there’s anything you wish to tweak before we start shooting, we can do that too!

  • Before your shoot, we will have a consultation to discuss how you dream of being photographed. You’ll be able to bring multiple looks. I will guide you so you choose clothing that looks fabulous on you and photographs well. Most women have items in their closet that would work just fine. I also have a studio wardrobe you can peek in to see if something catches your eye. Have a great hat you’d love to wear? Bring it!

    No matter what you bring we will have such a fun time!

  • Yes, of course! For family members who require hair and makeup (kids under 12 and men are complimentary) there is an additional charge of $100. Feel free to claim this all for yourself though!
