WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU...
...felt amazing in the mirror?
...treated yourself?
...took the time to dress up?
...felt special?
You are seen as the mom, the career woman, and the wife. Not too often as the woman you really are, right?
You are so much more than a label. You have a wonderful and unique story to tell, but you never feel seen or heard.
It’s time to change that.
Reinvent yourself and feel like the supermodel you already are with professional hair, make-up, styling, and extensive studio wardrobes.
Do you ever feel like you fade into the background? Have you lost the feeling of your true beauty? Do you focus on your “imperfections” as if they define who you are?
WOMEN OVER 40 ARE UNDERREPRESENTED IN OUR SOCIETY. I want to change that.
You’ve been hiding behind cameras instead of embracing yourself in front of them. You don’t feel like you‘re worth it or pretty enough. You don’t have a single photo of yourself you are proud of. You need an image that displays your authentic and unique beauty.
If that’s you - we will change it! You deserve a day where you are the center of attention. A really powerful, customized luxury photoshoot experience AND, finally, a photos you are proud of! Photos displaying your true, unique beauty.
Together, we can change society's perception of women over 40 AND our beliefs about ourselves. I empower women to find their self-love and create gorgeous picture memories they can keep forever. I believe that real beauty is celebrating what makes us different. And that it doesn't diminish with age. It’s your time to shine.

ORDERING
“I EMPOWER EVERYDAY WOMEN TO REINVENT THEMSELVES AND LET THEIR UNIQUE BEAUTY SHINE”
I'm a Danish, 55-year-old portrait photographer and mom of 3 adult sons in Starnberg, Germany.
My passion is to help you see your inner and outer beauty and capture your unique story in the most gorgeous pictures you have ever seen of yourself!
A photo session is more than creating images of yourself. It is an experience of self-discovery! A portrait is not about what we see. It is about how we feel when we see it.
Over many years, I've empowered hundreds of everyday women to discover their true beauty through this mind-altering photoshoot experience (and have tons of fun doing so)! I help them look past their flaws and feel comfortable in their skin.
I know how awkward it can feel in front of the camera, and I also know firsthand how freeing it can be to see photos of yourself you love. It's empowering. It builds confidence. It's transformational.
I provide a safe space for women to express themselves without judgment. I'll be your cheerleader, celebrating who you are now and honoring the journey that got you here.
I know it's frustrating when pictures of you never show the wonderful and unique woman you are. But as an internationally awarded & Master Photographer focused on women, I aim to provide you with a transformative experience that allows you to feel alive and energized.
I am here to help you awaken your inner goddess and remind you that you are gorgeous just the way you are. You deserve stunning pictures of yourself that freeze the moment forever.

Ulvi AYDIN, CEO
Charlotte is a star herself. She is genius! She makes stars. She values your personality. She brings out the best IN you. She brings out the best OF you. She is not from this world! She has done a shooting of my wife. And I fell again deeply in love with my wife tremendously.
She shows - she monitors - she brings out - she emphasizes the beauty that is there. Might be overseen. But Charlotte: she sees it and she reveals it.
She is not a photographer. She is a magician! I love and adore her work!

Jamie KokotI was thrilled by Charlotte's project "40 over 40" as she is showcasing the beauty of ageing and self-love. So I participated in this unforgettable experience. I am a former international model and started at the very young age of 14, thus I thought it would be exciting to be photographed again. Charlotte is an amazing and very professional photographer, in every moment she made me feel great, confident and relaxed. Very quickly the memories came back and it was such a great feeling and so much fun that I decided to go back to modeling. I’m so very thankful to her. I have to do a sedcard shooting and I will definitely do it with Charlotte, she is just the best! I got so much amazing feedback on my photos and thousands of likes on social media channels (on one Insta post 25k views). My pictures are stunning. Charlotte really knows how to capture the perfect moment. A friend of mine is also a photographer and when she saw the pictures she just said, these pictures were taken by a great professional, but not only by a professional, but by an amazing artist…

I became aware of Charlotte online Charlotte has an incredible gift and professionalism at showing and emphasizing a side of me I’ve never seen before. For me, these hours were on the one hand a challenge (hello - I'm not a model) on the other hand I felt like a star the whole time. A dream that passed far too quickly and will always remain vivid and pleasant in my memory. Her sympathetic and warm cordiality helped me to relax and embark on a once in a lifetime adventure, because I was naturally excited. I was also excited when I was able to look at the photos and I was fascinated - from the first moment I was in love with my own pictures - Wow what a great woman! It was an extraordinary and extravagant experience that, while not cheap, was worth it and I certainly wouldn't want to miss it; to see that I am still attractive at 61 and have a great personality means a lot to me. I would highly recommend Charlotte to anyone who wants powerful photos. Dear Charlotte, thank you very much for this unique experience and the incredibly beautiful photos. Google Review 2022

Charlotte Starup. 6 stars!!! If you need professional, individual, and expressive pictures, look no further, contact I only leave reviews in rare cases - usually only in the case of particularly negative or surprising experiences. In this case, I was pleasantly surprised. Positive is too weak - I'm thrilled. Chapeau in front of a true master with pictures that I didn't expect. THANKS! I don't like having pictures taken of me. But now I had to go again. Application photos are bad enough, but photos for professional print or online articles are something else. I became aware of Charlotte through pictures on the website. These seemed a little stronger to me than others, somehow more individual. So, asked, got an appointment at short notice with suggestions, tips for the shooting and examples. Everything was very pleasant on site. Charlotte is great, a master of her craft. She wanted and was able to understand exactly what the pictures are for and what I would like to convey, who I am and how I want to appear. Accordingly, I was given advice on clothing, instructed exactly on how to position myself, what to think about in order to get the right expression. It was also fascinating how Charlotte managed to create a relaxed atmosphere with targeted topics of conversation. In the joint review, I was able to select the final images. Here, too, Charlotte gave very good advice. On the same day I received the pictures, which were also reworked at one point if desired, again in just one day. Quality has its price. It's worth it. I award 6 stars! Thank you, Charlotte

Charlotte is a master photographer, a true artist. Her direction and vision made for the most gorgeous final product. I have done shoots before, and the session with Charlotte just blew me away in comparison. I felt like a total supermodel. She worked quickly and was professional yet kind and friendly. As you can see from this photo, it could be in a fashion magazine. Skilled beyond compare!

MAGAZINE STYLE -PHOTOSHOOT EXPERIENCE
Feel like a celebrity for a day
It's my sincere mission to create the most amazing portraits of you that you have ever seen. This photoshoot is so much more than just taking pretty pictures. It's transformational. I want you to fall in love with yourself again. I want you to be confident and make fewer days when you feel unworthy. I want to create your legacy so you finally own photos you are proud of. (Ask yourself: How many images you are proud of do you have to date?) The experience of feeling like a supermodel for a day makes a difference, but the photos will make an even bigger difference to you over time. The more you have exposed to your new images, the stronger their effect on you.
I am a woman of quality, and I offer the finest in luxurious fine art print and wall art for you to enjoy your photos afterward.
I genuinely believe that a house becomes a HOME when it has beautifully framed portraits of you (and your loved ones on your walls).
Wall art is a powerful tool for personal expression and adds style to your home. We can create a conversation piece for your walls. Yes, Portrait Wall Art is pretty; but they also have an impact beyond the surface.
Wall Art makes a difference in your everyday. They get you thinking. "Is THAT really me? Am I that gorgeous? It instills confidence, adds a radiance to your living room, bedroom, or dressing room, and makes you feel like a goddess whenever you're getting ready. Wall art is a great way to celebrate your inner goddess, empower yourself and make every day feel like a retreat. It's a reminder that life is beautiful and that sometimes we need just a little encouragement to see it.
