Ageless

“The aim is not to count numbers but live ageLESSLY and ageFULLY being the best version of you as a woman of any age”  …..Emem

AGELESS40'S AND BEYOND

This portrait series is a call for women who are turning/in their 40s, 50s, 60s and above to
join me in the celebration of life. I love how women have evolved, embracing their age and going from the era of...

"Women don't tell their age" to "Hey!, I am 45 years of age".

As I get closer to 40 in a few months, I am loving and embracing the woman that I am becoming, building a legacy and maximizing the time here. Age should not just be about the digits anymore, it is more about the impact, the experiences, the amount of time that is given to share with people that are your life.

I have created this Limited Portrait series for
women just like me, to give women in their
40s, 50s, 60s and above a space for them to own their light and tell their story to empower and lift the ones coming behind.

“THE BEAUTY OF AGE IS ETCHED IN YOUR STORY AND YOUR EXPERIENCES, THERE IS TOO MUCH OF IT NOT TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD.“

Meet the photographer

Emem Akinyemiju

I am the Creative Director of Portraits by Emem, a renowned photography studio in the heart of Lagos. Nigeria. I am widely known for capturing the essence of women, their lifestyle and families. Beyond being a photographer, I am also a mum of 2 children and 2 dogs, a wife to an incredible man. I love my family.

In the past ten years that I have been in the business of photography, it has been transformational for me and my clients. In many sessions , I have enjoyed helping women see their power , embrace and accept themselves. I really love preserving memories and creating timeless images for my clients.

LET’S SHOW THE WORLD WHAT BEING “Over 40” MEANS.
