It started as a vision—and became a celebration. After a year of photographing over 40 incredible women, Adriana Kopinja Photography brought the Empowered Over 40 campaign to life in an unforgettable evening right here in Newton, MA.

This wasn’t just an event. It was a movement—to honor women navigating transitions, celebrating milestones, and embracing their power at every stage of life.

Why Women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s Deserve to Be Seen

As a Newton-based portrait photographer who specializes in empowering women, I’ve seen firsthand how often women over 40 put themselves last. We pour into careers, families, and communities. But when do we celebrate ourselves? We rarely take the time to celebrate ourselves. This event was created to change that. It was more than a party—it was a movement.

A moment to be seen. A moment to be honored. A moment to be celebrated.

The Empowered Over 40 campaign was created for that reason—to show that every woman deserves to feel confident, radiant, and deeply seen. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday, embracing a new life chapter, or simply want to rediscover your inner strength—this experience is for you.

A Celebration of Confidence, Connection & Community

On March 27, we hosted our first Empowered Over 40 Celebration Gala. The room was filled with emotion, laughter, and inspiration. Women walked in glowing and left even more empowered. Guests shared how moving it was to see themselves—and one another—through this new lens of celebration. It wasn’t just a night out. It was a night in—into our shared experiences as strong, unstoppable women.
