I started modeling after turning 40. It didn’t happen as one would envision in their dreams: sending a holiday picture to an agency and walking the Paris catwalks a month later. Realistically, it took awhile.

I had been taking aerobic classes for some time, trying to get in better shape after having my two lovely children, when I heard someone talking about a woman who, proud of her workout results, did a photo-shoot for herself.

It interested me, and I wanted to try that for myself, so after a few months I booked myself a photo session with a photographer. Well, the result was amazing! I found though that my pictures were too glitter and glamour, and that was not exactly how agencies want to see you at 40+.

I decided to learn about the industry and learned a lot on the Internet. I created profiles on forums, and contacted people in the photography/modeling world. I did a lot of TFP and free work for photographers, while always focusing on creating a good portfolio. I always viewed this site more aimed at younger models but i know now that there is work specific to every age group. I figured this would be a good enough time to join here and just see what people are looking for!
