Follow your heart and see where it leads. Portrait work is my heart's work. Do what you love. Love what you do -- however you can! And, as I have learned from my work with Elders: #WisdomReigns

Truthful clarity without pretense is what S. brings to virtually every conversation I have ever had with her. I am so lucky to have S. as a regular model in the studio. She is up for any idea and I have her to thank for my growth in this genre.

I built a feed in bsky for elderphotography. I am hoping that I'm not the only one that populates it...but three cheers to creating our own feed algorithms!
May the beauty of the third age catch other photographer's interest and inspire others to share their photos of elders.

Her inner strength-that’s what I learned about E. She was embarking on a new journey in life at the start of her third age. I am excited for her.

I am so over portrait photographers showing only work of wispy young semi-nude women. Do you not see ALL the beauty in the world?
Show me your portraits that reflect all of us!

People are a rich map of experiences reflected in their person. It is why I love portrait work. I spend time with them, learn a little about them, and try and portray what I have learned. Many of my posts here have a short editorial description of what I saw in our interaction.
