Acclaimed artist and photographer Penny Fraser is bringing her celebrated 40 Over 40 Bombshell Series back this September for its fourth annual showcase, an inspiring celebration of women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond. This year promises a reimagined experience that’s all about connection, empowerment, and storytelling.
The 40 Over 40 Bombshell Series began as Penny’s personal journey of self-discovery during the pandemic, when self-portraits helped her reclaim her confidence. Today, it has evolved into a powerful movement, spotlighting the beauty, strength, and life stories of women through stunning portrait photography and heartfelt interviews.
Penny Fraser is a self-taught artist, portrait photographer, and attorney whose work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions, art residencies, and workshops across South Florida and beyond. Her passion project, the 40/40 Bombshell Series, has become a transformative platform for women to embrace their beauty, confidence, and voice.

What’s New in 2025
This year’s event is designed as a vibrant gathering where honorees and guests can mingle, network, and build genuine connections. Two exciting new features make this year’s series truly special:
- Feature Magazine Articles – Every woman featured in the series will now have her own featured article alongside her timeless portrait and empowering message. Full interviews will remain accessible via QR codes for those who want to read their complete stories. The magazine will also be available online, free of charge for everyone in the community to share, ensuring that the inspiration spreads far and wide, touching lives with its powerful messages.
- The Reunion Component – By popular demand, the 2025 series reunites beloved past participants, returning with inspiring new chapters in their journeys, alongside an exciting new lineup of honorees whose stories are already inspiring those around them. Together, they weave a rich tapestry of perspectives, life experiences, and empowering narratives.
More Than a Photoshoot
The 40 Over 40 Bombshell Series is more than a day in front of the camera, it is a luxury, transformative experience that celebrates who you are right now. Each woman’s session is designed to honor her journey, highlight her inner and outer beauty, and create a legacy art piece she can treasure for a lifetime.
“This series isn’t just about taking beautiful portraits,” says Penny. “It’s about helping women see themselves in a new light, embrace every stage of life, and know that their stories matter.”
An Invitation to Celebrate
Attendees will enjoy an afternoon filled with art, conversation, and community. Beyond the photographs, the 40 Over 40 Bombshell Series is about celebrating the woman you are today, your journey, your resilience, and your unique beauty.
The event will take place this September in Weston, Florida, and is made possible with the support of the Broward County Cultural Division.
