Look older in person...

Can you help me to express the following sentences more naturally in English?

My girlfriend looks much older in person than in pictures.

First of all, it's not a bad sentence. I've said something similar many times. You might consider "My girlfriend appears older in person than in her pictures" but I'm not certain I don't prefer your phrase.
