the

Return To Her

40+ project

At some point, you stopped feeling like yourself...

After years of putting everyone else first, you’re ready to reconnect with the woman underneath it all.

You’ve been everything for everyone else.

The one who holds it all together.


The one people rely on.

And somewhere along the way

you stopped feeling like you.

Not because anything is wrong —
but because you’ve spent so long putting yourself last.

Maybe you don’t feel confident in your body anymore.


Maybe you avoid photos
 or barely recognize yourself in them. Or maybe you just feel
 disconnected.

This is for the woman who is done waiting
 and ready to feel like herself again.

This month, I'm selecting 15 women over 40 for The Return To Her Project.

This is for the woman who feels like she’s lost herself a little.

The one who’s been everything for everyone else
 and hasn’t felt truly confident or like herself in a long time.

This experience is about reconnecting with that version of you again.

There’s no requirement to share your images, and you’re welcome to share your story (anonymously if you prefer). If you’re ready to feel that spark again



This is for you.

What Women Are Saying

  • You’re ready to reconnect with the woman you know is still in there

  • You’re tired of putting this off and telling yourself “one day”

 this is your moment.

ABOUT JADE

Over the past 10 years I've photographed hundreds of women — every shape, every size, every age, every story.

Women who walked in with their arms crossed and walked out crying happy tears.

Women who hadn't seen themselves clearly in years.

This is the work I was made to do. And I'd be honoured to do it for you.

XO Jade
