Bump and hey hey to all the awesome ladies and gents on this wonderful thread.....(I think I just got shot down by a critique in the forum) and its my opinion that this particular photographer just doesn't appreciate "mature" models...so I just wanted to say thank you so much for appreciating us to all of the fantastic photographers on this thread (and the models too!) 

Much love,
Cami

p.s. I've been on hiatus due to a lot of troubles lately...I had a neck injury last year, lost my oldest brother in a car accident, moved to Cali, my father has been ill, and my car was totaled by a drunk driver a couple weeks ago and I finally got new wheels on Sunday so hopefully, I can get back into some shooting!

Missed you Cami... sorry to hear of your troubles.. but we love you.. Hope all gets better soon...

you are missed here by many.. even Heather and Giggs said to say hi..

Let's hear it for MATURE MODELS. 

Mature models have a sensuality that comes with age, wisdom, and confidence; and this sensuality comes through in their images. 

I find that mature models are willing to experiment with poses and locations in the name of developing artistic images.  That explains why mature models have portfolios with a variety of images that go beyond straight portraits.

Finally, it is my experience that mature models are punctual, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. 

So a tip of the lens cap to mature models.
I wish there were more of them.

Amen brother I can not agree more. With the rate of flakes I have had recently and my success with older models I am getting closer to giving up on the under 30 crowd until some of them grow up and learn reliability. Older models have made this enjoyable for me.

I kid, I kid -- It's one of those days and this thread won't die.

Oh Brooklyn, Brooklyn...what have you gotten yourself into?   Didn't you also know that mature women (and men) are not afraid to speak their mind and tell someone off if they have it coming?  You must be a glutton for punishment...because the firing squad will be following soon...


                    Say Hello to my Little Friend...LOL

First of all, at age 49, I'm past the midlife crisis...in fact I don't think I ever went through a midlife "crisis"...more like a midlife AWAKENING...I can't tell you how many young women come up to me and say they wish they will look half as good when they are my age...thank you girls...and thank you to all the clerks who still card me when I buy alcohol...I love it!!!

And "AVERAGE"????  I think YOU KNOW DARN WELL that NONE of these models have an "average" body...especially if you consider that "average" these days is overweight....and  you are right....we refuse to let this thread die...so deal with it!

And Kudos and Besos to all of you not so "average" gorgeous, fabulous outstanding mature women and men out there!!! 

And just to prove how "average" I am...here ya go....and okay, I admit that this pic was taken in 2006 so I as 47 at the time...but I guess that's still past mid-life, huh?  lol...anyway...here's my "average" body

Hello, folks!  It's my first time to visit this forum, and what a lot of inspiration I see here for the thought, "take good care of yourself"!  Most of it's coming from women, so I wanted to say "Yes, ladies!" BUT ALSO "Men, we can too -- and we SHOULD treat ourselves well!"

So long for now.

Hey...we welcome the men...we need some eye candy too!

Wow, I go away for a few weeks without internet access and look what crawls out from under a rock/  It is obvious that BH does not appreciate beauty when he sees it.  Let's all hope he matures in the future.
