Sharon decided to book a portrait session for Extraordinary: the Over 50 Revolution because she wanted beautiful portraits to mark this time in her life.

Last year I started my first campaign for women over 50. I wanted to help change the way the media and society define aging, to cultivate the freedom and confidence that result from appreciating—and loving–our own maturity. This campaign spoke to Lisa so strongly that she flew to New Hampshire from her home in California

Cheryl booked a portrait session for Extraordinary: the Over 50 Revolution in part to challenge the notion that only men look distinguished as they age. She said, “Women over 50 radiate beauty, strength, vitality. This project celebrates that lived experience.

For her 78th birthday, Judith booked a session for Extraordinary: Over 50 Revolution. She did it because she has few photos of herself at all, let alone ones that make her feel beautiful. Like many women, she is usually the one taking the photos. As a child, she learned to hide from the camera. “My
