“I've pretty much always felt that being in shape is what makes you attractive, even as I've felt that inner beauty is more important - so I've always been conflicted about this. I want to believe that inner beauty is the most important, as well as healthy fitness (even if that doesn't mean "thin"), but it's something that I struggle with constantly.” Vicki Giampietro was photographed in 2022 at the age of 64 by Oregon Photographer Rachel Hadiashar at the photo studio in Sherwood, Oregon.

“I don't believe attractive means being all made up (although it can certainly help). As I've gotten older, attractive has as much to do with how you feel, how you treat others. I definitely think personal hygiene is a help but that's just a matter of being clean and feeling good about yourself.” Louise Davis was interviewed and photographed in 2022 at the age of 61 by Oregon Photographer Rachel Hadiashar at the studio in Sherwood.

“I have never really been concerned with being attractive. I like to look nice, but not worry about being attractive. I just want to be me and dress comfortably. I guess what is attractive to me is being happy, being physically in shape, and in good health.” Marie Wright was photographed and interviewed in 2022 at the age of 71 by Rachel Hadiashar at the portrait studio in Sherwood, Oregon.

“Yes, beauty comes from within, it makes a person beautiful on the outside. Attractive is a person with kind eyes, wrinkles, laugh lines, who is fun, good, quirky, dry, and a sense of humor - who can laugh at themselves.” Leea Voetberg was photographed in 2022 at the age of 63 by Photographer Rachel Hadiashar at the portrait studio in Sherwood, Oregon.

“For me personally, I think I was most attractive when I was thinner and younger. As I have gotten older and bigger, I tend to criticize myself more when I look at pictures.

“I mean, anything goes, really. Remember that old adage, you can't judge a book by its cover? It's so very very true. I don't let myself fall into that trap anymore... You never really know what's lurking below the surface until you take the time to jump in and find out. I find myself jumping in consistently now and most of the time, I don't regret it!” Marcia Lovell was photographed and interviewed in 2022 at the age of 58 by Photographer Rachel Hadiashar at the portrait studio in Sherwood, Oregon.

“Absolutely my perception of attractiveness has shifted. Attractiveness is not a physical characteristic, it's an energy that someone emanates. It has a magnetic quality and it causes you to want to lean toward that person, lean in, listen deeper, see clearer, understand more thoroughly. It's all encompassing versus one tangible characteristic.” Michelle Rios was interviewed and photographed in 2022 at the age of 55 by Photographer Rachel Hadiashar at the studio in Sherwood, Oregon.

Rachel HadiasharFebruary 21, 2023

“The things that are most attractive to me now are more about what's on the inside vs. the outside. A person's presence that exudes self awareness and acceptance, emotional safety, a hint of playfulness and being comfortable in their own skin rather than having to achieve some model of perfection that's not joinable or relatable. Don't get me wrong, a strong sense of style is still something that catches my eye but it's more about 'owning' it vs. wearing it.” Lani Faith was interviewed and photographed in 2022 at the age of 58 by Photographer Rachel Hadiashar at the portrait studio in Sherwood, Oregon.
