Why the 50 over 50?
Too big to be ignored, too experienced not to be listened to, and too gorgeous not to be celebrated.
There are more people aged 50 and over than ever before, 35% of the population. It’s time to change the conversation and find the beauty in aging.
This is their chance to be seen, heard and celebrated.

52 · Director of Vineyards at Hope Family Wines
What do you consider your greatest achievement?
“I’ve always worked in a male-dominated industry. I’ve lost count of the times I have been the only woman in the room working a big negotiation. I stuck to it with the attitude that everyone has the same opportunity if they want it.”
52 · Financial Advisor
What is your favorite thing about being over 50?
“This is the best time in all history to be a woman over 50, as we are healthier than any other time, and can stay active. Also every day becomes more precious, and there is no time to waste with pettiness or mean people.”
57 · Enterprise Account Manager, AgCode
What do you love about being over 50?
“One day it just clicks. A little bit bolder. Less fearful. Finally accepting of every curl on my head. Open to new adventures and fun.”
65 · Owner of Seven Angels Cellars
What is your most treasured possession?
“I love anything that was handed down to me. Jewelry from my grandmothers or my mom. Family heirlooms. I love anything that was given in love. My wedding ring is the number one thing I cherish.”
64 · Retired Law Enforcement
When and where were you happiest?
“Here and now! Life gets better with each decade!”
What is your most treasured possession?
“My running shoes. Running is my therapy!”
61 · Sales and Hospitality, Wine Industry Entrepreneur
What is the best thing about being over 50?
“The beauty of age is wisdom. I consider myself a youthful spirit, gaining traction every day, because every day is a school day! We are the sum of our life’s experiences, which I embrace, loving the woman I have become, making every day a masterpiece.”
62 · Interior Designer
What or who is the greatest love of your life?
“My mother, Emma Bell King. And my granddaughter Vivienne Lee. It’s a love like I’ve never known, to have your daughter have a daughter. I just love the cycle of life!”
51 · Registered Dental Assistant
What is your favorite bucket list item you’ve checked off?
“I’ve always wanted to do a boudoir photo shoot and now I can mark that off my list.”
What is the best thing about being your age right now?
“I’m comfortable in my own skin and I can completely accept myself for who I am. I’m confident and not concerned with what others think of me.”
51 · Chief Bubblehead at Be Bubbly Napa Valley
What is the best thing about your age right now?
“I have lived long enough to have loved and lost, and to have experienced poverty and prosperity. I’m more confident in what I want, and where I’m headed.”
59 · Producer
If you have a bucket list, what’s your favorite thing you’ve checked off?
“Skydiving (checked it off when I was under 30), and sailing around Cape Horn (did that when I was over 40).”
64 · Interior Designer, Aesthetician
What is your favorite thing about being over 50?
“The best thing is that I still feel like I’m 39. I’m much wiser, more peaceful, and I could care less what others think of me. That was not true of my younger self.”
55 · Fitness Instructor, Artist, Marathon Runner
What is the best part about being your age right now?
“I know who I am, love who I am, and embrace my strengths and accept my weaknesses. I’ve also finally learned not to compare myself to others, as it just takes time away from living my life to the fullest.”
71
If you have a bucket list, what’s your favorite thing you’ve checked off?
“Touring 11 cities, 19 days and thousands of miles to see ‘Dead and Company’ play. I met the most amazing people and came home with 200 new friends.”
51 · High School Chemistry Teacher
If you have a bucket list, what’s your favorite thing you’ve checked off?
“Doing things that take me out of my comfort zone (my dad inspired me to do this), like beginning the sport of Olympic weightlifting at age 46, and then realizing that it’s empowered me more than anything I have ever done!”
65 · Registered Nurse, Psychiatric Teacher at NVC
What was your favorite part about your portrait session?
“It was the most fun I’ve had in a very long time! I kind of lost a part of myself, the fun part, and participating helped me find my fun side, and my confidence as a woman.”
About your photographer
“My goal is not to make you look younger. It’s to capture the confidence, beauty, strength and story of the woman you are today.”
I believe every woman deserves to be seen, celebrated, and beautifully photographed at every age.
