When you look in the mirror, what do you see?

In this instagram-able world, we have become used to seeing our own and each other's faces "filtered", flattened and featureless. To look "young for your age" is considered a compliment.

At the Midlife Movement we say there is nothing wrong with being older, or "old".
We are beautiful just as we are - every line, grey hair, lump and bump speaks of our experience, strength and character.

This collection of 166 black and white portraits of women over 40 without their make up - including over 100 "selfies" sent to the project - is our way of trying to "normalise" seeing older faces.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to look good, or in wearing make up.
But I believe it is time to reclaim our natural beauty and not be ashamed that we are no longer youthful.

I see beauty in every woman I photograph. The women who took part in this project are full of wisdom, grace and joy and I feel privileged to have been able to reflect that back to them.

Face it, Own it!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I am a Writer, Podcaster, Photographer and, through The Midlife Movement, a Coach for women who want more in Midlife and Beyond. I seek to help women who feel they have become invisible to find their voice and, in the process, start to change outdated narratives about growing older.

I am based in the beautiful heart of England, but I travel all over in search of interesting people to photograph and interview. I've been married for more than four decades and we have four children, four children-in-law and almost 10 grandchildren. They are my blessings and, together, they form the greatest story of my life.

    5.0 out of 5 stars We just want to be able to be us
    Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2024
    I love this book. As I just turned 57 I find myself more and more just craving the ability to just be me and be where I am in in life and in the aging process. I'm tired of the 'anti-aging' movement. Let women age on
    our own terms. Women should be allowed to age however they wish (with or without beauty interventions) without society coming down on them.

    I think Jo's book beautifully captures so many women who are doing just this - living and thrivine on their own terms. Her book shows the world how beautiful it is to age naturally and confidently.
