Unforgettable: the Over 50 Revolution, Part XIII – Laura

Why did you want to participate in Unforgettable: the Over 50 Revolution? 

“I am more comfortable behind the camera, so I did this as a twofold: as a challenge to myself to accept how I look, and secondly because I needed a new headshot for work.​”

 What are your thoughts about women over 50?

“We should be proud of what we have accomplished in our lives to get to this point as well as waking up each day and being thankful for being given another day!”

Growing up, did you have any women role models?

“I had the best role models – the strongest women who were in my life from the start – my mother, my grandmother and my mother’s sisters.”

What advice would you give to women who are younger than you?

“Be grateful for the good and the bad in your life. Both provide growth. And never feel that growth/learning is done.”

What effect would you like to have on the world?

“I would like to be thought of as adding a bit more kindness to this world.”

“Maundy has a way about her that puts you at ease in front of the camera. I am someone who prefers to be behind the camera, so it was a big hurdle for me to overcome to step in front. She made those fears go away immediately. I would recommend Maundy for any type of portrait you are looking to have done!” – Laura

If you are a woman over 50, “the Over 50 Revolution” 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’ll join me in this revolutionary experience.

Unforgettable: the Over 50 Revolution was so popular that I will begin a new campaign for women over 50 in 2023. You can find out more HERE.
