Embracing the Crone Energy-Portrait Session in your 70’s- Sedona Women Empowerment Photographer
You Deserve to Be Seen
Photography is not just for the young. It is for the becoming. It is for the wise. It is for the bold-hearted.
So if you’re in your 70s and wondering if now is the time—yes. The world needs to see what true beauty looks like. And it looks a lot like you.
You’ve spent a lifetime tending to others—children, partners, careers, communities. This is a chance to receive. To be pampered, seen, celebrated, and held in soft light. Whether you come with your bold lipstick and statement earrings or barefoot in a flowy linen dress, this is about expressing your essence, not fitting a mold.
There is no pressure to “look younger.” This isn’t about youth—it’s about authenticity. Your face has lived. Your eyes have witnessed. Your laughter lines are sacred geometry. Let the world see your truth.
The Power of Portraiture at Any Age
There is something incredibly empowering about stepping in front of the camera and saying: this is me now. It’s not about perfection—it’s about presence. You’ve outgrown the need to be anything other than real. And that is profoundly magnetic.
A Few Things to Know If You're Considering a Photoshoot in Your 70s:
You don't need to know how to pose. A good photographer will guide you gently and naturally. This is about comfort and connection, not performance.
Wear what feels like you. Earthy tones, silks, knits, bare skin if you wish—whatever makes you feel alive in your body.
Bring meaning into it. Maybe it's a necklace passed down from your mother, a scarf from your travels, or a book of poetry that changed your life. These details weave your story into the image.
You can do this alone, or with others. A solo portrait session can be deeply personal, but you can also bring your sister, daughter, or best friend and make it a shared experience of honoring your bond.

In ancient traditions, the Crone was revered. She wasn’t discarded, forgotten, or tucked away—she was consulted. She was the truth-teller, the healer, the seer. She was the embodiment of wisdom that could only be earned through living, through enduring, through loving and letting go.
To step into your 70s is to walk into the archetype of the Crone. And this is not something to hide or rush past—it is something to honor.
Crone Energy Is Magnetic
The Crone doesn’t seek validation—she offers perspective. She doesn’t perform for approval—she remembers who she is. There is a rare kind of power in this chapter of life. It’s not loud or flashy. It’s steady. It’s potent. It’s deeply rooted.
In myth and folklore, the Crone lived at the edge of the village, where the wild things grow. She was a keeper of stories, a channel to the spirit world, a protector of the cycles of birth, death, and rebirth.
That woman lives in you.
Every line on your face, every softening in your body, every gaze that holds both sorrow and delight—this is the medicine of the Crone.
Photography as Crone Ceremony-
When you allow yourself to be photographed at this stage in life, you are doing something radical in a culture that worships youth. You are saying:
“I do not shrink to make others comfortable.”
“I do not need to be smooth to be beautiful.”
“I am not done—I am arriving.”
The Crone doesn’t apologize for taking up space. She expands. She transmits.
Let your portrait be a reclamation. Not just of visibility, but of reverence. Of depth. Of sensuality that simmers instead of sparks. Of power that comes not from force, but from presence.
Becoming the Elder You Once Needed
When you embody your Crone energy, you become the elder so many younger women are longing to see. You show them that aging isn’t something to fear—it’s something to become.
Your photograph, your voice, your essence—these are torches passed down through generations. You light the way by being unapologetically yourself.
