Join us in changing the face of beauty.
This project so far has been the greatest part of my 10 years in the boudoir photography industry. I have documented almost 30 women in their 50s in the past year, who want to share proudly what it means to be over 50, and how it is something to honor, celebrate, and hopefully empower others.
THIS IS SOMETHING EVERY WOMAN SHOULD DO, TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT HER BODY. I CANNOT WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN!
welcome TO 50+
Meet some of the amazing women who have stepped into this experience with fierce energy, and kind words. We would love for you to join us, so read all the good stuff and get in on this empowering movement! Can't wait to see you.
Meet Yolanda
"Your ability to find the right placement, say the right things, empowered me with every click of the camera. I kept telling myself I can do this! When I saw the back of the camera, it felt surreal. Seeing myself outside of myself , without harshly judging myself, was new for me.
When I saw my images I saw the strength, wisdom, and depth that I own. I felt proud of myself. It wasn’t all about what is on the outside, because I could see what was on the inside."
Meet Dawn
" I feel much more positive about myself and my body. I was encouraged to keep reinventing myself and seeing my body as something positive and beautiful, and to take care of myself in new ways like exercising and watching my diet. It's a new perspective to do these things because I want to continue on a positive path, not because I feel like I'm overweight and I need to become something I'm not. This experience was such a confidence booster and I felt like I was heading in the right direction with becoming a new me.
This experience defiantly gave me a confidence boost! It helped to affirm for me that I am enough! I am worthy! I am strong, smart, and sexy! I am the whole package! I am always reminded that I am beautiful in and out and I can get through anything life throws at me. I already have been through a lot, and I'm still strong and beautiful."
Meet Jennifer
"I did this one for me! I am content with my physical age, there is nothing I can do about it so I better embrace it. I’m never 100% okay with my body but at 54 I’m active and I do the best I can to stay healthy so at this point I’m happy with where I am.
when I looked in the mirror I was a little shocked by how dramatic it was but I absolutely LOVE it in the pics. The makeup itself was sexy so it made the entire day a little easier, I was already half way there! Lol!.
I was very comfortable with everything. When you showed my what my backside looked like from you angle I was blown away. NEVER in my life have I thought my booty looked like that… it definitely gave me a boost of confidence that I still carry with me. Thank you for that!
I felt amazing! I’m over 50 and I look damn good on the back of your camera. We are our own worst critics and the shots you took were beautiful. I will be forever grateful."
Meet Traci
I struggle with my aged menopausal body. I wanted to do this photo shoot to feel good about myself . I was a little embarrassed to wear lingerie in broad daylight in front of Amber. Not that embarrassment quickly went away. When Amber showed me the first couple pictures she took, I was shocked. I had no idea I could look that good! When the shoot was over I was so proud of myself! I did it! I conquered a fear of mine and it felt great! It was freeing and I felt empowered.
Amber’s style is like no other. Her photos are classy and natural looking. I was so excited in how I looked in her pictures I proudly gave my husband his gift of photos. He told me he married a model, he loved it. I even proudly shared my photos with friends. My hope is they will call Amber to have the same freeing, empowering experience as I did.
Meet Katie
You made me feel so comfortable, like we were just 2 friends talking and hanging out :) Once I saw some of the photos that you were capturing it gave me more confidence and even started having fun!
I felt so empowered after the shoot! My husband was very proud of me and I was incredibly proud of myself! This was something so out of my comfort zone , but once I did it I felt so much more confident with my body and grateful for it. This experience has changed my life for the better : )
The images really changed me and how I feel about myself and my body. I finally saw what my husband has been saying for years that I was sexy and beautiful. It's so easy to fall into mom mode when you have 4 kids. Easy to lose your sense of who you were before they all came along! This helped me see myself again.
This definitely gave me a boost! And my husband has the photos up all over his home office so I feel it every time I go in there :)
So empowering for me.
Meet Heather
Over the past few years I’ve been on a roller coaster of emotions. I wanted to step out from behind the camera and for once be the spot light.
I had both nerves and tears making the leap to do a boudoir session, but as I browsed all the other platforms of those who’ve done a session, I said to myself what do I have to lose? I have a very supportive husband, who was & is my biggest fan. I wanted to see what he sees in me. As women come in all shapes and sizes. Sexy is how we feel when the person you’ve given your heart too makes you feel like you’re the only one.
Walking into the studio was a breath of fresh air & energy. From the hair , makeup, & wondering what Amber would bring was stunning.
After my session I felt a big relief that I did it…… and couldn’t wait to see the proofs.
Sharing the big moment of truth with my husband was nothing better than amazing. Seeing his face light up made it worth every penny.
I would tell anyone who thought they weren’t a good fit for boudoir is crazy. If for anything, do it for YOU. Be the woman on the outside as you feel on the inside.
50 is just a number-live everyday to the fullest. Be the positive energy to those around you.
Meet Kirstin
At 48, I became single after being in an 18 year relationship. Being single at 50 has been a big hit to my self confidence.
I was hoping this experience would give me a much needed confidence boost and it has absolutely done that!
I was nervous at first, but Amber made the session easy and fun.
I felt beautiful after my session. The hair and makeup helped, of course, but I walked out already feeling more confident.
I almost couldn't believe those photos were of me. I was raised feeling ashamed of sexuality. Seeing my photos was so empowering.
Meet Lisa
I wanted to do something to validate that I am gorgeous. I have started to put me first and this was just one step of taking back my strength.
I have had a lot of experiences that have lowered my self esteem to where I felt like I wasn't worthy of love and I have finally started to see myself as worthy, and this photo shoot was just one step to be able to see myself in that light.
A co-worker told me about this project and I was like WOW I have always wanted to do something like that. I have always had a bit of an adventurous and wild streak and I don't have an issue with being naked in front of people even if I am self conscious. I wanted to do some things that I have had in my mind and I was able to do it.
It was fun, and I felt empowered and excited and I couldn't wait to see what the results were.
I didn't realize that I looked as good as I did in those photos. And without photoshop! My ass looked good and I have always been told I had a big butt. My nickname in high school was bubble butt so seeing it this light was like damn. It was strange but I knew I always had that inside but seeing myself in print looking as sexy as that was exciting, strange, empowering, self affirming and everything else in the book.
Everyone is a good fit because everyone is beautiful and sexy, you just need to believe you are and the beauty will come through.
Girl 50 is the new 30. there are no limits to what we can do and we are just getting started.
Lean into your age and experiences. They are what make you unique and lean into your authentic self. Love yourself and others will follow.
Meet Julie
This was a gift both for my husband and myself. He had seen some similar photos that I had taken when I was in my early 20's and he said that would love to have something similar with me "all grown up". For myself, I don't pamper myself much, and work in a blue collar industry, so don't get to pretty myself up often. It was a chance to remind myself that I clean up well and remind myself that I can be beautiful.
I will admit that I stopped keeping track of birthdays after 50. That being said, I keep active and honesty feel that it is more attitude than years that keeps you young. I still feel like I am in my 30s and hope to keep feeling that way for many years to come.
I made an appointment to talk with Amber, and she was so enthusiastic and encouraging that I was sold on doing it. I was more excited than anything for the months leading up
to my session, but will admit to being nervous the week or so beforehand. As soon as I met Amber in person at the session, all anxiety faded in a heartbeat.
The session was fun! From the make-up, choosing of the outfits, to the actual photo shoot with such incredible encouragement from Amber it was awesome! Definitely a day to remember!
Leaving I felt truly beautiful and couldn't wait to get home to my hubby all made up and glowing. I don't often lack self confidence, but had been dealing with some hair loss due to medical issues for a couple of years, and that can really wear on your self image. This session was the boost that I really needed to truly love myself again, so yes... it has carried on with me since then.
My husband and I viewed the images together and it was a wonderful experience! I would definitely say doing it that way was very empowering as I got to listen to my hubby's enthusiasm as well as experiencing my own. I loved seeing myself being as sexy as my man always tells me I am... it gave me a new appreciation for his compliments as he is so vocal about how beautiful I am that I had started to disregard his comments thinking "he's just saying that to make me feel good". I actually believe them again after this!
If someone thinks that they are a bad fit for boudoir, then they are really in need of this type of uplifting experience to realize their beauty and reaffirm their self worth.
Age is only a number... being young is a state of mind. We may not be as fit or recover from things quite as quickly as younger women, but we still can have spunk and spirit and enjoy the world and all it has to offer. Love yourself!
Meet HEIDI
I have struggled my whole life with embracing love of myself, my body and my sense of self. I was feeling a desire to do something for myself that embraced my age, my sexiness and my power.
I haven’t struggled with the number but I have struggled in how to continue to feel relevant, sexy and empowered as I age and not just accept what society says is true for women and for age.
leading up to the session, I had some very interesting and revealing feelings, fears and insecurities come up during the time I made the decision and the day of my session. It was powerful from the moment I decided to make my deposit!
I felt so comfortable and seen it was a wonderful experience! I left feeling so good in my body it was amazing!!!! It stayed with me for a really long time after that and then when my photos came it was reignited. I have felt a big shift and connection to myself since.
I was amazed to see how beautiful and sexy I was through the eye of the lens. It felt hopeful and empowering and emotional.
Even if you’re nervous or don’t feel worthy, do it anyway. don’t let the stories your mind feeds you hold you back from giving yourself the gift of the experience and the opportunity to see yourself from a whole new lens.
Take every opportunity you can to find ways to empower yourself and to embrace the beauty and freedom that can come with age if we allow it. Work to defy what the world says is true for women and for age. Love yourself the way you want to be loved !
I am so glad I took this risk and made this investment. I have no regrets and I hope you give yourself this gift if you want it!
Meet HEATHER
had recently turned 50, I was feeling a little depressed about that scary number when I came across this amazing project. I nearly scrolled past it, then I thought to myself, what an amazing way to make women who are getting a little older feel good about themselves. I had never done a boudoir shoot before, and I became very excited. Especially after viewing some of the photos!
My final year of my 40's was terrifying,The impending leap into my 50's was nothing I was looking forward to. I dreaded every passing day that brought me closer to that awful number that to me, meant the end of my youth. I just thought that I would wake up that day, and all of a sudden be OLD! Us as women I think absolutely dread the thought of getting old. Losing our looks, wrinkles, and god forbid, the attention of the men in our lives. Sadly, we have all been conditioned from a young age on what men find attractive.
We have also been conditioned to maintain our looks in order to hold the attention of men, or society in general. However, I woke up on my birthday, and much to my surprise, I didn't look any different, nor feel any different. So at that moment I chose to embrace my age. My aging body, my looks, and to ROCK my 50's!! I had to remind myself of everything that brought me this far. My children, my grandchildren, and all of my accomplishments. None of these things would be a part of my life if I hadn't gotten older along the way. The last year of my 40's was a very eventful one. Two major things impacted my life, first I lost my mother, and in the middle of that, I bought the business that I had been employed with for nearly 18 years. I had to remind myself how proud my mother would be, even though she wasn't able to see me accomplish my dream. Its amazing to me how a few short months can change your perspective on life.
So yes, I struggled with turning 50, but I have come to embrace it and own it!!
I was very excited to do the shoot, but also nervous about what I would see when I looked at myself in the photos. Much to my surprise, I was blown away!! I couldn't believe the woman in the photos was actually me!! Us as women don't see what other people see when we look at ourselves in the mirror. We pick apart every single flaw we have, and think others also do the same when they look at us. Amber made me feel so comfortable and at ease during the session. As soon as we got started all of my fears went away. I immediately felt completely confident!!
The session was absolutely amazing!! I had so much fun!! I felt like a movie star!! Getting hair and makeup done, choosing the outfits that I ended up using, and just the girl talk!! I felt so comfortable, like Amber and I had been friends for years! I want to do it again just for the experience of the whole day! Amber made me feel so confident and beautiful. I seriously have never felt more beautiful in my life!!
I felt absolutely amazing!! So free!! So confident and very proud of myself for getting out of my comfort zone and allowing Amber to give me this incredible gift!!
Once i saw my images, I couldn't believe how beautiful and sexy I looked. I can't even describe the confidence I felt about myself. I honestly can't stop looking at my album!!
I have two grown daughters and since they were little girls, I have always told them that if I had just one wish i n the world, it would be for them to look in the mirror just one time, and see what others see. That is exactly what Amber did for me, I had tears in my eyes.
This whole experience has been so empowering and helped me accept getting older. Just because we get older, doesn't mean we can't be beautiful and desirable!!
Women are beautiful at any age or size, and Amber is so good at showing that with her work.
I know getting older is scary, but it’s just a number!! I honestly feel like I look better now than I did at 30. Plus, I am so much more confident and wiser. Embrace it!! After I turned 50 and was a little down, my sister had some harsh words for me. She said at least you got to turn 50, think of all of the people who never get that far. That really hit me, we need to be grateful and own our aging selves. I have become proud to reveal my age now!!
Please please don't let anyone take away your confidence. Do not listen to society about what is considered beautiful. We are all beautiful in our own way. Try your best to get comfortable in your own skin. Believe me it is a great feeling, and incredibly freeing!!!
Meet Annette
I had chosen “Adventure” for my word for 2024. I wanted it to represent me being ready to do things unexpected, put myself out of my comfort zone and embrace anything that might come my way. In January I saw the post for a boudoir photo shoot for women over 50. I thought to myself, “Here we go!”
I have always struggled with accepting my body and being happy with who I am without comparing my body to other women. As I have gotten older and now into my 50’s I find I have been even harder on myself. At times after listening to the conversation in my head more closely I’d have to say I am a better friend to others than I am to myself if you were to hear those conversations I have had with myself. I was definitely pushing myself out of my comfort zone to book an appointment.
I considered canceling a few times actually but as I would read other women’s stories and how positive the experience had been for them as well as changed how they saw themselves……I wanted that! I was hopeful for 4-6 pics that I liked to make it worthwhile……I was driving to Seattle after all!! lol
I was nervous leading up to the shoot! Once I walked in and met Amber in person we began working on my hair and makeup I found that I enjoyed talking with Amber. She is authentic and real, passionate about what she does
I left the session thinking “wow, I actually enjoyed that! It felt great to FEEL sexy! I left with an attitude that I stepped up and met the challenge I presented to myself! Still I was HOPEFUL we would have 4-6 photos I liked when it was preview time!
When I saw my photos I was SHOCKED! I LOVED THEM! And to my surprise and enjoyment it was DIFFICULT for me to narrow down my photos! Looking at the photos made me smile and be thankful for the body I have been blessed with, without comparison! I could experience gratitude for being a woman in my 50’s loving what I saw. Even now when I look through my album I see a woman who challenged herself and came out better for it!
……stop believing the lie that you’re not a good fit. You are! Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone and consider just how much acceptance, joy and confidence you can experience! You won’t know what will happen for you until you try it!
We are often our toughest critics. But when we can step into the bodies we have that have given us so much and have gratitude for how we are made and the unique beauty we have as women we are stronger! We have so much to offer those around us and be examples to the other women our age as well as those coming behind us.
Thank you, thank you thank you Amber for using your gift and passion to helpi me and many other women to seee ourselves in ways we don’t think was possible 🥰
Meet LEANNE
This was something I had never done before and wanted to do it for myself to feel confident and sexy at my age and after a divorce.
Overall, I have felt confident about my age. Of course there's thoughts of 'wow my life is quite possible more than 1/2 over' , but for the most part I am loving the wisdom,, the experience, and growth I've acquired.
The session itself was not as nerve wracking as I though it would be. I had my makeup done and felt so pretty and Amber is definitely the perfect hype girl ! she made me feel really good about myself.
I walked out feeling like a. rockstar lol. it was a great feeling to have it done. Seeing my images was awe inspiring. I had a sense of 'wow! look at me, I'm sexy!
The photography was beautiful too! it was empowering, not strange as I have always felt sexy like that on the inside so it was great to actually see it on the outside
If you’re on the fence…just do it, don't overthink it!
Being over 50 is an absolutely amazing time! don't be scared of it, don't feel 'old' so to speak. its like a new beginning, fully a new stage/transition in life that is incredible.
Meet RONDA
I really enjoyed my experience, it was so fun and comfortable.
I love being 51, My confidence has grown and I know who I am.
I was excited to try something new… I was a little nervous but that went away quickly after I got there.
I Had a great time, and felt beautiful and very comfortable doing it. I was so excited to see my images! I definitely felt great the rest of the day and had a boost of confidence that stayed with me.
Loved looking at my gallery so much, I felt sexy and confident
