This photo session for The Over 50 Revolution celebrated a family, with extra attention for a mother & daughter. It was such a joy to spend time with Terri, Ginny, & Walter. They prioritize family and make time for special experiences together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first spoke with Terri about The Over 50 Revolution 2024<\/em> several months ago. She said she wanted a Portrait Experience to mark her journey since she turned 50. She wanted to celebrate herself and her accomplishments and independence. She talked a lot about her parents, Ginny and Walter, who are also her best friends.<\/p>\n\n\n

Terri says her main role model has always been her mother. \u201cShe taught me to be a strong, confident woman. She leads by example. She took up snowboarding and became a grandparent for the first time the year she turned fifty! I\u2019ve grown up believing that age is just a number and something that can be celebrated, not dreaded.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

I suggested that Terri\u2019s parents join the portrait session. They all thought that was a great idea. The Over 50 Revolution focuses on women because we \u201cdisappear\u201d from the media and society as we age in a way that men do not. I photographed Walter as well as Terri and Ginny, but it\u2019s the words of mother and daughter that I want to share.<\/p>\n\n\n

Terri\u2019s mother, Ginny, feels that women over 50 are in the best part of their life. They have “maturity, life experience, and a sense of who they are and who they want to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Ginny is about to turn 80. I asked her how she felt about that. She said, \u201cI don\u2019t often think of my age because it is a surface thing. The real me is in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

When asked what advice she would give to women who are younger than her, Ginny said, \u201cKnow who and what you want to be when you grow up but just don\u2019t grow up!”<\/p>\n\n\n

Terri thinks that women over 50 have a unique opportunity to support each other and mentor young women. \u201cBeing an example doesn\u2019t have to be one-on-one with another but can be in those moments where others see that being a woman over 50 doesn\u2019t have limits.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Ginny became aware of the Women\u2019s Movement when she was in her early 40s. She started to pay attention to who she was and what was important to her. \u201cI started college in my 30s and graduated at 40. The kids were on their way to adulthood. I had never thought about who I was before that. As a non-traditional student, I naturally fell into a role of mentor in many ways. I always wanted to be sure that young women heard that they had gifts and did not need to take crap.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Portrait<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

At a time when many men had issues with their wives becoming more independent, Ginny said, \u201cIn my marriage I have always been 100% supported in whatever I wanted to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Then I asked Terri what advice she would give to women who are younger than her. She said, \u201cIt\u2019s okay to get support from those around you, but always make sure you are comfortable on your own and can make your own way. Be there for other women and set an example for young women. Age is just a number. There are no rules that say you can start new things when you\u2019re older.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The family travels the world to go scuba diving together. On one trip, pink flamingos became their signature fun outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n
