Who is the Woman you’re becoming?
What is your Story?
Entering a new decade of life is a milestone worth celebrating. Turning 50,60,70 and beyond becomes a starting point to turn our focus on what we want and who we want to be.
That's why I am looking for 50 women over the age of 50 to join me for a one-of-a-kind photoshoot experience where you get to celebrate all the incredible things that make you, you.
Enjoy personal styling, professional hair and makeup, your own magazine-style photoshoot, and a feature in my gallery exhibit celebrating the beauty of age and the stories that got you to where you are now.
It's about so much more than just 'taking pretty pictures' (and trust me, you will love your photos!). It's about giving yourself the gift of celebrating you, because YOU are worth it!
Hi I'm Michelle, Your Photographer
I understand how hard we can be on ourselves as women. We constantly feel this pressure to be 'enough' -- thin enough, young enough, pretty enough, good enough.
But as a woman over 50, I also understand the massive transformation and growth we go through in these years. In my 50's, I came into myself with new goals and a new direction in life. And that is worth celebrating.
For years, I have photographed women in the Central Valley, capturing your legacy through an unforgettable photography experience. I value creating your portraits as much as I treasure the images that hang in my own hallway.
I believe that every woman is beautiful, and my mission is to empower women by showing them back to themselves, showing them how their loved ones see them, showing them they are enough. One portrait at a time.
Because YOU are worth celebrating.

WHY 50 OVER 50?
- People over the age of 50 now account for 34% of the population --more than ever before.
- This group is too big to be ignored, too experienced not to be listened to, and too beautiful not to be celebrated.
- As a woman over 50, I would love to see other women celebrate their beauty. I would love to have more women see their strength, wisdom, grace, and beauty in front of the camera.
Are you ready to celebrate YOU?
