Inspirational Stories of Incredible Women.

​

There is something special about women over 50. With age comes wisdom and life  lessons. This group of women account for over 35% of the population, a group too big to be ignored, too experienced  not to be listened to, and too amazing not to be seen and celebrated!

​

The 50 over 50 Project is a portrait session experience culminating in a gallery-styled exhibition, a celebration of these women and their stories.

​

This year, between February 2020 and December 2020, I will photograph 50 women and tell their story, how they see themselves in today's world. How they fit in and embrace aging. I want to show the world that beauty doesn't fade with aging.

The character, wisdom and spirit of each woman who steps in front of my lens will be highlighted. 

​

If you are a woman 50+ then I want you to share your story,  and let me help you rediscover all the beauty in your journey.

whether you feel invisible, empowered or somewhere in-between, Your story matters. I want you to be heard and seen.

​

I am looking for women of any shape and ethnicity. This is a celebration of diversity, strength, and wisdom. I intend to create a tapestry of stunning images from all different backgrounds. The more diversity, colors, vibrancy...the better.

What if I want more than one photograph?  Absolutely! I will have about 20-25 images for you to choose from, there is a good chance you will want more images. I will have a special collection available. My images start at $175 each and come mounted. My collections  start at $750 for 6 -  8 x 10 images  matted to 11 x 14. and go  up. I accept credit cards and have payment plans. But again, there is no hard sell to buy more. This about what you love and you won't know until you see the portraits what you love! So this is not something to worry about now. 

​

Were does the shoot take place?  I have a small home studio I shoot in. It is portable so I can come to you, if you prefer. Or we can shoot in your home or on your favorite location

 

​

What is a Portrait Exhibition? This is were we celebrate all the wonderful women and stories. We will have a display of all the portraits to share. I will host a small party where we will discuss how this project impacted you and the other women. Each participant will receive two tickets to this event. The venue will be selected  at the end of the project.

​

But what if I'm not photogenic though, is that ok? First of all, I don't believe there is such a thing as photogenic.  It is part of my job to master how to bring out everyone's best. I've spent a lot of time and energy training in learning to do just that.  

​

 

What if you don't choose me? This is a first come first in situation. If you send me your story, pay your $250 and get on the books, You are in!!  If I run out of spots you can be on a list for next year. I want everyone to get in. If you have friends or family you want to be included please send them may way!
