I’m Michelle Hayes: A San Diego based Women’s Empowerment Photographer.
I created this campagin because I’m 52 and I believe that 50 is a magical and transformative age. I’ve experienced this transformation first hand and have seen it with all the amazing women I’ve photographed in the past 10 years. I want to change the narrative that women should fade into the background after 50 and showcase what life can be like when you step into your authentic self, especially after hardship.
I’m on a mission to allow women to share their journey and what it’s like to be 50+ and thriving.
Will you join me on my mission of showcasing the thriving 50+ woman?
Why You Need This Experience
This isn’t just about a photoshoot. This is about owning your story, stepping into your power, and showing the world that life after 50 is just the beginning.
Because you deserve to be seen. Too often, women over 50 feel invisible. This experience is about reclaiming your space, your beauty, and your presence.
Because you’ll have stunning portraits that reflect the woman you’ve become. A luxury portrait experience will capture you in your most authentic, confident, and radiant self.
Because your story will inspire others. Your journey of reinvention can be a beacon of hope and empowerment for other women navigating their own transitions.
This is your moment. Your best chapter is just beginning. Let’s celebrate it together.
