Having never experienced a photoshoot before, I decided to try something completely new for me. I am so happy to have been given this opportunity as being in the very capable, skilled hands of Vilija, it became a super fun experience, as I was thrilled with my transformation. It enabled me to feel far more confident within myself during the session. I would therefore, highly recommend the lovely Vilija for her expertise in creating very special, artistic and expressive photographs.

                           - Christine -

I wholly recommend you put yourself in Vilija's hands for a professional and enjoyable experience and pictures you will treasure, share and be proud of. I went into the shoot somewhat nervous but Vilija was so kind, supportive, efficient and focused that I soon relaxed and had a blast! It was tremendous fun using items from Vilija's fabulous wardrobe and accessories and I felt empowered to try wearing things out of my normal 'comfort zone'. Thank you Vilija for a morning I will never forget and pictures I will treasure forever x.

40 over 40! Fantastic experince definately worth doing. Vilija had everything covered. Make-up and hair by Saira was on point. The fabulous outfits and jewellery chosen by Vilija matched my personality. Had such a great day from start to end, creating memories with my best friend J and to top it all off our photos are amazing. Thankyou so much!​

I had a photoshoot with Vilija which included the make up and dress up as a package just a few months ago. The experience was so good, Vilija puts you at ease and the process itself it was not stressfull at all. I felt as if I spent the day somewhere in another world, enjoying myself. The photos looked like out of this world! Trully you, but soo beautiful, one can never imagine. I would highly recommend Vilija for all women, especially if you are somehow anxious about going somewhere for a personal photoshoot, but really desire to have one.  

JUST AMAZING!

 Why I am passionate about this project?

​

I am 38 and I love to look to the women a couple steps ahead of me in life who are absolutely rocking it. My mum, my sister, my family women and any women over 40+. You inspire me. Your story inspires me. You show us the truth - that a woman just gets better with time, like a fine wine -  and not opposite, as we have been told in the society. 

 I am a huge believer in women's empowerment. And, I know that if I am inspired by women of all ages, others will be as well. But there aren't many platforms for women over 40 to share their story and their beauty. That's why I created this project. I am intend to disrupt & transform the way we are viewed (or forgotten) by the media and society by putting out beautiful, images and real stories of ourselves.

​

​

WHO can take part in this portrait experience ?

All women age 40, 50, 60, 70+ are invited. I have photographed stunning women of different shapes and sizes; from different backgrounds and with different views of life.
