Beauty has no age limit

@billysheahan and I were talking and he made the observation that not one model at our retreat was under the age of 30. I’ve never really thought about that before other than to make sure everyone I work with is over 18 because age was never an important factor in my work. Though after it sinking in that every single woman there was over 30 years old it really made me happy. When I tell someone I’m 45 years old they always say, you don’t look 45. Well what is a 45 year old supposed to look like? What is a 30 year old supposed to look like and what is someone 18-25 supposed to look like? Are we supposed to stop being youthful? Does not looking your age give you more power or does it take it away? It’s something interesting to think about. Sometimes I wonder if I looked my age if people would take me more seriously or offer more respect by not treating me like a kid. Is looking timeless a blessing or a curse? And is it really all about looks or is it life experience shining through that exentuates a timelessness? And it isn’t specifically directed towards the female models amongst us since our one lonely male model is also over 30 and doesn’t look it. I’m sure the ravages of time will come for us all, eventually, though will that make any of us less beautiful or less youthful? The only thing we can really do is love ourselves and be patient with ourselves and try not to allow outside influences dictate when we are too old to be beautiful.

Enjoy an image @vassanta and I created

Christian

Christian was my first shoot with someone in front of my lens for about a year in a half. I started to load film and suddenly realized how unfamiliar my hassey was to me. The camera felt fumbly in my hands, and that was startling. So thank you Christian for your patience while I became reacquainted with my camera. I think the results are pretty lovely and I always love pro400h. 12 shots, gotta make them count!

Thanks again Christian!

had this idea in mind from a previous session. We didn’t have a lot of time here since it was before the group shoot on the penultimate day. Thanks Claudine.

I’ve always wanted to shoot in a location like this. Normally locations like this are full of snakes and alligators, and that is what is so beautiful about Hawaii. No kill you things. Thanks @jessamyne for getting muddy feet. 🙂
