“I was made to feel at ease from the moment I arrived. I was really pleased with my makeup and hair and I was expertly guided through different outfits and poses. It really was a day to remember and I love my photos.” … Carol

When we asked Helen why she wanted to do a Fabulous at 50 photoshoot like this she told us

“I’m going to be 50 in a few months and not looking forward to it. Would like this to make me feel gorgeous and boost my confidence.”

Well, I know she’s thankful she did have some professional photos. Not only to hand down to the family but also because of the boost in self confidence an experience like this brings to so many of our clients.

Helen was such a joy to work with on the day. She arrived with perfect outfits for the shoot and really gave her all to the photoshoot. She was easy to direct and that smile radiated and lit up the room.

This is what we mean by Modern Glamour – super glam images of you in fabulous dresses in a great surrounding. If you’re brave you can do a little lingerie but in truth, our glamour is less about what you wear and all about you.

Stop Feeling old… Feel fabulous at 50 – Book a day to rememberThis is what we live for!

Truly, helping women look and feel fabulous, is what we do.At Madison Bou we have nearly 20 years experience photographing women and making them look amazing and as we gain experience we also appreciate just how much more beautiful we become as we mature.

Sure, the signs of ageing may be there but the beauty we radiate only increases with wisdom gained from experience. What we’ve learned is how to bring that beauty out in you.

With amazing hair and make-up and great light, we can do almost anything.

We know how to pose you even if you can’t get into the positions you could 20 years ago.

WOW – that’s all I can say! The pictures are stunning – I LOVE them (something I never thought I’d say!). The whole experience has been beyond my wildest dreams – life changing. I feel happier about myself than I ever have thanks to these images. I don’t have words to properly express my gratitude – thank you isn’t enough, but it’s all I have so THANK YOU… Jill

Why do we need to grow old gracefully just because the marketing people expect us too?

We should celebrate the best decade of our lives.

Celebrate the fact that we can now do exactly what we want to do without having to worry about the little ‘uns anymore. Do exactly what we want in the boardroom and the bedroom because we have the experience to be decisive. That experience has taught us well and now we know more about pleasing ourselves and our partners. We may have a little baggage but we have no hidden agendas and don’t play games and we’re definitely not needy.

In our 50s we have the brains and ability to express our opinions without worrying about what others might think. This makes us interesting. It’s amazing to feel so free and powerful. Oh, and one of our strongest superpowers is the ability to not have to rely on others before we make a decision. We don’t need to turn to social media for approval.

This is our life and we can live it exactly as we wish.

Our Fifties really are Fabulous!
