Almost always, women over 50 tell me that they do not exist in photos from the past twenty (or more!) years. Sometimes, it’s a matter of having been too busy, or having always been the one behind the camera.
But let’s face it: those of us over the age of 50 have also been conditioned by the media and society to feel that we are no longer worthy of being seen. This is wrong, and we all need to do something about it.
Over the past two years, more than 50 women over the age of 50 have decided to be photographed with a portrait experience like no other. What they each discovered was an empowering experience, joy, confidence, and a kind of freedom that resulted from making a point to appreciate—and love–their own maturity. The bonus was a collection of beautiful photographs that will serve as a reminder that they are worthy, now and always, images that will be cherished now and in the future by them and everyone who loves them.
The Over 50 Revolution 2024 is a portrait experience to celebrate your strength, wisdom, and beauty. If you’re over 50 and you’ve been thinking about this, too, let’s talk about it.
Photographers around the world are now beginning campaigns to celebrate the beauty and lives of women over 50. I am so happy to be a part of this revolution, to help shift the perception, and to show women how truly valuable, beautiful, and extraordinary they are. I am photographing fabulous women in their 50s, 60s, 70s and up, for a unique, empowering portrait experience, celebrating their lives and stories.
“This should be the responsibility of photographers today: to free women, and finally everyone, from the terror of youth and perfection.” – Peter Lindbergh
“None of us, including me, ever does great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful.” – Mother Teresa
Join us on this adventure of being 50 and over, and unforgettable. Do this for yourself, for everyone who loves you, and for other women of all ages.
This experience includes a consultation and a photo session designed just for you, with wardrobe styling, professional hair and makeup, and more. It also includes a same-day image reveal session, where you may choose to purchase portrait collections. The special session fee is $590 (normally $690).
This year’s project will culminate with an exhibit, reception, and book for each participant.
“Working with Maundy was hands down the best thing I have ever done for myself. She captured me – the whole me. I have never before liked pictures of myself. The portraits are a treasure for me and those who love me. Thank you!”
– Kim Peaslee, The Over 50 Revolution
“Recently, I participated in the Over 50 Revolution. I was hesitant at first about this photo shoot, but Maundy is a master at putting her clients at ease with the camera. The portraits she creates are perfect in every way. I felt pampered and spoiled through the entire process and thoroughly enjoyed getting to know this wonderful woman through her work. Thank you Maundy for a first class experience and for the beautiful portraits I have to share with my family.”
– Deb LeBlanc, The Over 50 Revolution
““I recently participated in Maundy’s “Extraordinary: The Over 50 Revolution” project and the experience exceeded all of my expectations! Maundy is wonderful to work with and really cared about making my session special. I love the portraits she created of me and am so glad I decided to celebrate my age, just ‘on the edge of 64.’“
– Christy Utter, The Over 50 Revolution
