50’s & Fabulous: The Photo Shoot
By Carla Thomas
The Truth Reporter
When you live to be a half
century old or more, it’s a cause for celebration and so as
a hobbyist photographer, I decided to celebrate my 53rd
birthday by having a 50 & Fabulous Photo Shoot. I put the
call out, and 18 FABULOUS men and women, between the ages of
50 and 59 responded.
For a mere $25, each
participant received a 15 minute mini-photo shoot, five
digital images along with food and dessert in The Truth Art
Gallery. Four different backdrops were available for them to
choose from and the unseasonably warm February day allowed
us to take advantage of the surrounding street scenery.
The Truth Gallery was the
perfect setting for the event and husband and wife team
Victor DJ V-Nyce and Kim Mini Kakes –N-Kulinary Delites of
Taylormade Productions, helped create the perfect party
atmosphere by providing DJ and catering services. We had a
ball!
As most people in their
50s would agree, reaching this milestone is an esteemed
accomplishment and one to be grateful for. By the time we
reach this stage in life we are more in tune with who we are
– mentally, spiritually and emotionally – and it is with
this in mind that I asked each participant to share their
personal mantra, favorite quote or a few words as it relates
to being 50 and Fabulous. The wording was then included with
their picture.
This photo spread was a
fun project designed to inspire you to live your best life
no matter what your age. Why are the 50’s considered so
fabulous? Because we have 50 years of wisdom behind us and
we’re still young enough to enjoy the rest of the days ahead
of us.
