Forty Over Forty: Own your power, celebrate your beauty, and create a legacy of confidence.

This is more than a photoshoot. It’s a reclamation.

For women 40 and up who are ready to be seen in their fullness, in their season, and in their power.

Elle Yeon Photography came into being because I was a month away from turning forty.

Women over forty are often overlooked, labeled as past their prime or expected to fade quietly into the background. Many internalize this invisibility, greeting milestone birthdays with dread instead of celebration. While the world glorifies “30 Under 30,” we’re here to flip the script.

There’s a growing movement challenging what aging should look and feel like. Social media has given midlife and beyond a stage. Women are sharing stories, reclaiming space, and rewriting the narrative. “Elder millennial” creators are fostering visibility, confidence, ambition, and self-acceptance across generations.

I stepped into this business believing that age is an asset, not a limitation. And my message is the same whether you’re starting a business or entering grandmotherhood: true beauty is rooted in presence, and that never expires. This campaign is your invitation to show up, have fun, and redefine what’s possible at your age.

01

A Greater Appreciation For Who You Are & How Far You've Come

At its core, this photoshoot is really about holding space for you to pause, breathe, and truly feel the depth of your own journey. The imagery that results will be a constant reminder when you head back into the busyness of life.

A New Confidence and Energy in
Your Body

Your body has been a devoted partner in every chapter of your life, helping you live, love, and learn. Celebrate and honor it as you would a dear friend’s—with gratitude, pride, and compassion.

The campaign culminates in an exclusive gala exhibit this fall. Your portrait and personal story will be prominently featured, and you’ll have the opportunity to dress to impress and invite your loved ones to share in this special occasion.
