Unforgettable: the Over 50 Revolution is a new campaign to celebrate the beauty and lives of women over 50. I am photographing fabulous women in their 50s, 60s, 70s and up for a unique, empowering portrait experience. The campaign will culminate with a celebration and exhibition of all 2022 participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For years, I\u2019ve listened to women over the age of 50 tell me that they are no longer \u201cphotogenic.\u201d Because of their age, they no longer feel worthy to exist in a beautiful portrait. As a woman in her mid-fifties, this issue speaks to me. We have been conditioned by the media and society to feel that we are no longer worthy of being seen.\u00a0 This campaign is to push back against that and to show women over 50 that they should exist in beautiful portraits, for them and for everyone who loves them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you want to participate in the Unforgettable: the Over 50 Revolution?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>“I thought it was a wonderful idea to feature older women who are so seldom the focus of attention. And it just sounded fun!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your thoughts about women over 50<\/em>?\u00a0”\u00a0It\u2019s a time of change for most women, with families grown, shifting dynamics at work, looking toward retirement. Many feel a new sense of freedom, but also some apprehension. So I think our experiences tend to give us more empathy.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How have you changed since you turned 50?<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0“Mostly I\u2019m less concerned with what people think of me.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up, did you have any women role models?<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0“Yes, my mom! She grew up a city girl but adapted to being a farmer\u2019s wife who cared for her family, including her grandchildren, with patience, love and kindness. But she also found time for the things she loved to do.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice would you give to women who are younger than you?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>“Pursue your dreams.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s okay to do things for yourself.\u00a0 And don\u2019t take any bullshit from anyone!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What effect would you like to have on the world?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>“I\u2019d be happy if in some way I\u2019ve had a positive effect on the environment, our wilderness areas and wildlife.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are a woman over 50, this is for you. It’s for everyone who loves you, and for other women of all ages, to show them that they are worthy, too. I hope you\u2019ll join me in this revolutionary experience. You can find out more HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
