CELEBRATING YOU 50
over 50 PROJECT
It’s your time to shine!
A celebration of women in their 50s, 60’s, 70’s and beyond.
MODERN EMPOWERING ELEGANCE
When was the last day you felt like you were being pampered on a spa day or got to wear a fabulous dress?
When did you look at yourself in the mirror and think, I am going to do something so incredible for me?
“Looking back, we started the Celebrating You Experience in 2007. This was a way to give women a chance to see themselves as so much more than their everyday. A chance for them to see how others see them and as a way to have fun, reclaim some confidence and self esteem. I have witnessed, hand on heart, the transformation of client’s as their photo shoot progresses. From chrysalis to butterfly, it’s amazing. I show ladies the back of my camera every so often, and wow, they finally see themselves as I see them. Beautiful, strong, elegant, stunning women. Some arrive at the studio quiet and shy and by the end of the session they have reclaimed their place in the world, emerging strong, excited, confident. What an awesome experience to be a part of. Thank you to the ladies who have trusted my experience and ability over the last 16 years to capture their true self. Here’s to the next 16 years!” Donna-Marie
We are looking for all women of different ages, stages, sizes & shapes from different backgrounds and cultures. Women with different tastes and different views on life. We want to hear your stories, wisdom and about the joys you have experienced during your journey. Let’s start a conversation around the beauty of aging and change the way the world sees and hears us. We are too experienced to not be heard and too beautiful not to be celebrated.
We are all sensual, desirable, and vibrant beings, let us share this experience with you. We want to showcase your beauty and honor what makes you unique by telling your story and sharing it with other like-minded beautiful ladies. Let’s change how the media defines us!
Let us photograph you, listen to your story and hold an amazing exhibition of gorgeous women at the end of the project.

50 FABULOUS LADIES
OVER 50 PROJECT
“Hi, I am Viv. I have come along to see Donna, as this is a really neat opportunity for me to refocus on who I am now.
I turned 60 on October 19, which is a wonderful milestone and I was really happy about it because I have been through a journey of accidents at work, I had to come back from a concussion and from chronic pain. I’ve done that now, and I’ve managed to turn my learning into my new business. I’m learning how to help people through Hypnotherapy, Mindset and Life Coaching, and I am loving this opportunity.
So I have started my own business EMPOWERING MINDS FOR LIFE, because I want other people to learn how they can bring the best out of themselves, and live confident lives. This photo shoot is me doing something that I would normally would be just unable to do. Sitting here is a huge step for me; and my family will not believe it cause I’ve been a chronically shy person, so this absolutely is me living in my new self. It’s like I have grown into my soul, who I really am and growing into my essence and it feels real.
I’ve got a wonderful beautiful daughter, and three gorgeous little granddaughters, and I just want them to know that they can love being a woman through every stage of their life. That we transition into richer more profound beauty and it’s nothing to be scared of and we actually grow in our power and I love that feeling.
So this is why I’m doing it really, because it’s a chance to focus on the rest of my life, which I hope is going to be a long one, and I know it’s going to be rich and beautiful and I just really love Donna for this wonderful opportunity.
It’s magnificent so thank you very much, and I’m wondering how I’m going to receive this when I look at it, but I think it’s going to be pretty good because I’m going to be able to see from the outside who I am on the inside, and that’s kind of why I’m doing it. Because I’m at the stage of aligning with who I really am now. So this wonderful experience/opportunity is a celebration really, so thank you!”
