Fabulous Over 50
The Experience
The Very Best Version of You.
Fabulous, Just As You Are.
A lifetime of stories, your confidence, and earned grace.
Women Over 50 portrait sessions are about reclaiming a positive self-image. About having fun. About saying I am only just getting started and have so much left to give. About being better than ever.
Most women come in expecting to feel the way they always have about their photographs, which is not positive, and leave with a whole new perspective on how they see themselves.
You do not need to be photogenic. You do not need modeling experience. You only need to show up. I will guide the rest.
Best for: Women over 50 who want not just another photo session, but an experience where they are pampered, feel comfortable, and can be themselves in front of the camera.
Walk in nervous. Walk out feeling like your most confident self.

“My 50th was supposed to be Italy. Covid had other ideas. A friend mentioned Arnel's Fabulous Over 50 sessions and I booked one on a whim. I had not realised how much I needed to see myself the way Arnel sees women. The black and white sitting on my desk now is the first photo of myself I have actually loved in maybe 15 years. That is not an exaggeration.”

How It Works
From Nerves to
Natural Photos
From thinking it is not possible, to realising it is, with the right photographer.
Guided from start to finish
Consultation
We go through your wardrobe choices over Zoom, talk about whether you would like classic black and white, colour, or both, and nail down three outfits you would love to be photographed in, plus one backup. The goal is to remove any anxiety so you arrive relaxed and ready.
Your Session
We start with makeup and hairstyling by our makeup artist, who is skilled at hearing your requests and creating the look you want. Want some reassurance? We can pop in front of the camera and check on my laptop to see how it is shaping up before we start. If you would like to tweak it, now is the time. After makeup and hair, we put some music on and begin the session.
Reveal & Select
As soon as we finish photographing, we sit down in my office and have refreshments while we look through the images on a large screen. You choose only the ones you love, along with any wall art or albums. Then we have a quick chat about the level of retouching you would like. Digitals are sent within 2-3 weeks.
