suggestions for shooting a mature woman

I'm trying to find some suggestions for doing portraits of a woman in her mid-50s. I don't want to make her look young, but also don't want to make her look like her mother. All I've found online amounts to: direct front light so you don't exaggerate the wrinkles.

Does anyone have anything to add to that?
Thanks

Pose her so she doesn't look fat by letting her lead with a hip
Twisting her neck removes the droop under there.

a beauty dish for lighting perhaps

Angle her shoulders at about 45 degrees to you and have her look back at you over her front shoulder.

Thanks guys, I appreciate these.
(No worry about her looking fat; she's pretty thin so there's more concern about skin texture.)

Big soft box in VERY CLOSE and feathered. If shes, heavy short lighting.

If shes thin maybe a butterfly light (large soft box over camera) so as not to cause a lot of shadows thus hiding texture. (not making wrinkles more pronounced).

I had to make such compromises back in my film days. Back then it was soft lighting, avoiding shadows, using soft focus, and such.

I don't compromise on the best lighting for the shape of the face just to avoid wrinkles anymore--I just ameliorate them in post as necessary.

However, there are issues such as double chins or chin waddles that you do want to pose to avoid. Neck and chin issues are brutally difficult to handle any way other than posing and lighting.

And, as I recently discovered, cute scarves.
Thanks

Thanks for asking this question. I am, uh, mature myself and have friends in a similar age group that ask me to take their photos. I have a bunch of portrait books but hardly any of them mention the 'challenges' and solutions of taking photos of us older folks. Especially women...

Any other suggestions, links or resources that anybody can think of?

weight on back foot, shoulders back, shoulders uneven, chin up and out a bit.

processing, processing, processing. take a few years off with some skin smoothing.
