    Aging Gracefully

    "Though my muscles may stiffen, though my skin may wrinkle, may I never find myself yawning at life." ~ Toyohiko Kagawa We think women of every age should be photographed and celebrated. Over the year's we've photographed lots of high school seniors. The world tries to tell us we should look like that 17 year old forever. Although that’s a beautiful age, it’s fleeting, still a child - literally. Striving to look like that is not only wildly unattainable, it does women a disservice. - Aubrey and Kia Join Aubrey and Kia as they discuss aging, their personal views on it and why they want to change the way we view aging for women. Every woman at every age is beautiful, powerful, valuable and should be celebrated.
