What is Pam Long Photography's 40 Over 40 Experience?
It’s our opportunity to highlight YOU!
This is more than a phenomenal photo shoot...it’s a transformational experience and a celebration of strength, beauty, purpose, and legacy. Because your story matters.
Each women enjoys a fully guided portrait session tailored just for them, and has the opportunity to share their story and be featured in our 40 Over 40 Magazine, a beautiful keepsake filled with the voices and images of extraordinary women.
To celebrate, you’ll also receive a ticket to our black tie optional Celebration Gala, a powerful evening recognizing this remarkable group of women.
Professional headshots, branding images, dating profiles, confidence-boosting boudoir, long-overdue family or couple portraits, and fun moments with their pets, these were just some of the reasons women chose to participate. Many combined a few of these into one unforgettable, empowering experience and celebrated themselves at this stage of life.
As with all of Pam Long’s special experiences, we’re also giving back. Not only will this project empower 40 women and inspire others who read their stories, it will also help support
Richcroft, Inc. and Zaching Against Cancer
We're donating $100 from each session to be distributed to these two incredibly worthy organizations.
We hope you’ll join us, we’re ready to show you how the world sees you…Beautiful YOU.

What other 40 Over 40 women are saying...
Pam makes you feel like a queen the second you walk in. Not only does she use great backdrops and lighting, she poses you in ways to make your body look it’s best, and her conversations have you naturally laughing for great candid shots. She encourages you and helps build your confidence for the short time you’re together, and the results are excellent photos that last forever. ~Wendy Pidel
Pam Long has photographed our family for several years. We trust her insight to produce professional, and flattering, photos for both our family and our business. She is easy to work with and I trust her to execute a wonderful photo session that makes everyone look great! Thank you Pam! I love your work!! ~Sherri Collins-Witzke
If you're thinking about doing headshots or branding shots or any kind of photography, I totally recommend Pam Long Photography. Pam was so amazing. I was super nervous about having all the photos taken and she made me feel comfortable.
She has an assistant that makes sure your hair looks great at every moment. She also recommended someone for hair and makeup, which was so helpful. I have to say that one of the coolest touches was when I had branding photos taken at a desk in her studio, and she even had a frame with a picture of my family. It was just such a really touching thing that she did to make me feel comfortable.
I love the photos that Pam took for my business, and I use them all the time. I can't wait to have my next updated session. So, if you're thinking about professional photos and you're a little bit nervous or you just want to have something updated, definitely reach out to Pam Long. She is the absolute best! ~Laurie Forster
Pam Long was wonderful to work with to update my headshots. I signed up for her 40 over 40 promotion and really enjoyed the experience. She has a gorgeous studio in Historic Ellicott City and really gave me great direction on styling and posing. Her makeup artist was really great as well. I really enjoyed her enthusiasm and she made me feel really beautiful. I would recommend Pam in a heartbeat for professional headshots. ~Brigid Wethington

Just like the 40 Over 40 Experience, Bra La La is all about honoring women exactly as they are. We’re proud to collaborate in a shared mission: helping women feel amazing in their own skin.
