Throughout time, society has placed women in a box. They tell us what we have to look like, sound like, and even how we should age! Do you feel cramped in this box? Are you ready to break free?
One of the goals of our "50 Over 50 & Fabulous" Project is to disrupt society and its expectations of what being 50+ really means. Women 50+ are STRONG, FIERCE, BEAUTIFUL forces of nature, and it's time we celebrate that!
With the "50 over 50 & Fabulous" Project, we want to remind women that it's their unique beauty, fearlessness, and authenticity that make them so alluring and captivating. Each woman has her own inspiring journey, and it is an honor to be even a small part of that.
JOIN US IN THE "50 OVER 50 & FABULOUS" ADVENTURE. GET INSPIRED AND EMBRACE A JOURNEY OF RE-DISCOVERY OF AGE AND BEAUTY WITH A FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE CULMINATING IN A CELEBRATION OF THE STORIES OF FIFTY WOMEN AGE 50+.
WHAT ELSE IS IN IT FOR ME BESIDES AN UNFORGETTABLE, SELF-EMPOWERING EXPERIENCE?

MORE ABOUT THE 50 OVER 50 & FABULOUS PROJECT
Let's disrupt - then transform - how women 50+ are viewed... or forgotten... by the media and by society. Let's stand up and refuse to be invisible. Together, we'll create beautiful, fearless, authentic imagery accompanied by the real stories of 50 real women age 50+.
Don't let this opportunity to be seen and heard pass you by!

WHY OVER 50, WHY ME, AND WHY NOW?
I'm 49. (That's me in the photo at left in the mauve & burgundy.) My next big birthday will be the big 5-0. It sounds like a big number, and I know I grow older with the passing of each year, but the thing is, I don't feel old. I'm starting to have too many grey hairs to consistently pull out, but I don't think I look old. Women 50+ like you make up nearly 20% of the U.S. population, and I'll be joining you very, very soon. I REFUSE to become invisible and forgotten!
So let's work together, starting this very moment. I promise, the experience will be fun, fulling, and transformational. You hold the keys to REVOLUTION... let me coax it out of you!
Join me on this fun and incredible adventure!
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
I would love to photograph a wide variety of women of all ages 50+, all shapes & sizes, and all ethnicities in celebration of the diversity of the Washington DC metro area that we live in.
The Irene Abdou Photography "50 Over 50 & Fabulous" experience is an indulgent, pampering, exciting adventure. What could be better than a photography experience custom-tailored for you and focused on you!
Think about how you would like to be captured... how you want to be portrayed. What message do you want your legacy to convey? What I am most excited about with this project is the opportunity to take the everyday woman and give her an unforgettable, transformational, celebrity-style, magazine photography experience.
This is about so much more than just "taking pretty pictures." Our hope is that your participation will lead to a reconnection with yourself so that you see your beauty & spirit the way the ones who love you see you.
See yourself the way your loved ones see you.
