On Saturday, April 29th, 2023, Symply Boudoir Photography hosted its second 50 Over 50 Boudoir Exhibition. The event was held at the Red Hall in Bourne, Lincolnshire, and featured the images of 50 women over the age of 50 who had participated in boudoir photoshoots.
The exhibition was a huge success, raising over £3,000 for Breast Cancer Now. The money raised will go towards funding life-saving research into breast cancer, as well as providing support for those affected by the disease.
The exhibition was also a celebration of the beauty of women over 50. The women who participated in the photoshoots were all ages (over 50!) and sizes, and they all looked absolutely stunning in their boudoir photos. The photos were a testament to the fact that women over 50 are not invisible, and that beauty is not just for the young.
It was empowering, emotional and an incredible confidence boost for all the lovely ladies who took part. Some hadnt even told their partners or family they were taking part!
Most of these women have always hated photos of them so the boudoir photoshoot was a a great way of challenging themselves and stepping outside of their comfort zone. It turned out to be a powerful experience to see themselves in a new light, and helped towards changing the way they viewed themselves.
In addition to the boudoir photos, the exhibition also featured a silent auction and raffle. The items up for auction and raffle were donated by local businesses and individuals, and they included everything from a rare bottle of port to a beautiful handmade quilt. All of the proceeds from the auction and raffle went to Breast Cancer Now along with the sale of prints exhibited.
We really appreciated everyone who participated in the event, and are excited to announce that we are now launching 50 Over 50 Chapter 3. If you are interested in participating in 50 Over 50 Chapter 3, please click here for more details! We would love to hear from you!
