The Your Face, Your Story Project

FAQ

​

What does it cost to be involved in the Your Face, Your Story Project?

It was important to me to make this project as affordable as possible to ensure that price is not a barrier to entry

and that as diverse a range of women as possible can be involved. To secure your place in the project you need to purchase the Your Face, Your Story Project Registration Package.  This includes the full project involvement which includes Discovery meeting, your shoot and a post-shooting meeting, your favourite image from your shoot (digital print + 5" x 7" art print + larger mounted print used in the exhibition), and 1 ticket to the exhibition. 

The Your Face, Your Story Registration Package for 2025 is $300.

​

The aim of the project is that you enjoy the project experience and that you walk away with 1 special

legacy image that you adore so there is no pressure to purchase any additional images. 

However, if you love your images they are available at an exclusive project price of $30 per image. 

​

​Can I be involved if I don't want my images shared on social media?

A very important part of this project is to inspire other women to celebrate themselves just the way

they are and to create a feeling of community. Sharing beautiful positive stories in a negative world is an important part of what I do and a vital part of this project. If you are not happy with your images being shared on social media, you will not be suitable for this project. I would be delighted to discuss a shoot with you using my

standard package prices. 

​

Where will the Your Face, Your Story Project take place?

We can be super flexible when it comes to the Discovery Meeting, & Post-Shoot Meeting which can take place wherever suits including my studio and on Zoom.  The actual shoot will take place at my studio in Tenterfield. 

I am happy to include other locations such as your home, or a special place in your heart for your shoot if that is important to you. This project is meant to be a celebration of you, so that is something we can discuss at the Discovery Meeting. 

​

Does the shoot include Hair & Makeup?

No. The shoot does not include hair & makeup. If you would like to organise hair and makeup for your shoot, please do so. We will cover all of that at the Discovery Meeting. I believe in doing what makes you feel comfortable. 

​

What will I wear?

At the Discovery Meeting, we will discuss outfits and I will provide recommendations once we have a shoot plan.

For the shoot, wear what makes you feel safe, happy, sexy, loved, and wonderful. If you want to celebrate various sides of you then this is your chance!

​

What are the important dates of the project?

I work every day except Mondays, so we can confirm a day that suits your schedule. 

Shoots can take place anytime until the end of 2025. 

The Your Face, Your Story Project Exhibition will be held on Friday 23rd January 2025

​

Can I include my children, partner, pet or family?

Absolutely! Part of your beautiful story is the people you love so if you want to include your loved ones at the

end of your shoot, then the more the merrier. Please remember that you are allowed to make this entirely about you.

During the 2024 Your Face, Your Story Project shoots included friends, children, partners and pets! 

​

Tell me about the exhibition

One of the most exciting parts of this project is to celebrate the portraits and stories of the 40 incredible women involved in this project with an exhibition. The exhibition will be held in Tenterfield on Friday 23rd January 2026.

Your registration packages include one ticket to the exhibition and the mounted print used in the exhibition.

This print will be available to you after the exhibition.

Please note that the exhibition evening event is for the women of the project only. 

​​

How are you choosing who participates?

I am not 'choosing' anyone. I believe every woman is beautiful and has an inspirational story

to share, so I am not interested in selecting or excluding anybody. This project is first come, first served.

The only limit to participation is that you can commit to the project criteria.

The only other limit is that there are only 40 spots available. 

​

Project criteria:

You must have turned 40 by before your photos shoot

You are happy with your images and words being shared by Lara on the social media channels

of @mynotesfrom and on this website. 

You will be available for a shoot in Tenterfield before December 2025

​

How long does project will take?

The project runs throughout 2025 and ends on the 23rd January 2026. The 2025 Your Face, Your Story Project

will culminate with an exhibition on the 23rd January 2025.

You can register for the project at anytime before the 1st December 2025
