What if we choose to redefine what makes us worthy of celebration?

 

What if we stopped hiding our bodies, started embracing them as they are and demanded to be visible?

 

I strongly believe that visibility should not continue to be restrained by narrow historical standards. Every body, every size, shape, age, or ability, deserves to be seen, celebrated, and loved. My goal as an empowerment boudoir photographer is to help you see and appreciate the masterpiece that is you. 

 

Every curve, line, scar, tattoo and feature tells a story of who you are, and darling, that story is worth telling! By stepping in front of the camera, you are not only capturing your physical form but also your essence, strength, and unique journey. It’s about reclaiming your power and telling your story on your own terms

 

Choosing to be visible and embracing your body is probably going to feel like a revolutionary act. It’s a defiant declaration of self-love and acceptance, but it’s one that I am here to support you with. Together, we can redefine visibility, challenge societal norms, and inspire everyone to embrace their authenticity.

 

An empowerment boudoir photoshoot is not just about the final images—it’s about the journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. It’s about  consciously taking a moment to celebrate yourself, just as you are, and recognising the beauty in your individuality. 

 

If you’ve been hesitant to step in front of the camera because you feel like you don’t fit into society’s narrow definition of beauty, I encourage you to take the leap. Empowerment photography is for everyone. It’s a powerful way to affirm your self-worth, beauty and embrace whole heartedly all aspects of body positivity for yourself.

The Studio

Due to our relocation to Cornwall in October 2025, I am still on the look out for the perfect space to call home. I want this to be a space that I can make my own, and I am taking the time to find the perfect spot to welcome you to. 

 

Stay tuned via the Newsletter below, and drop me a message if your travelling my way soon.  

Waiting List

If you want to have early access to sessions in 2026 then please contact me with your details and I will add you to the waiting list. I will then ensure that any updates are sent to you first, allowing you more flexibility when booking your session. 

Allowing Time for Prints 

Once you have your gallery, you will be able to choose you prints/albums or any other extras. Realistically to allow for any design work, order and delivery times from my printer, quality checking and then wrapping and delivery to you, you need to be allowing at least two months. Bear this in mind when you are looking ahead for studio dates.

Bookings

Bookings are taking a little pause at the moment, until I have a studio sorted, here in Cornwall. If you have a 'wild empowerment' idea, then please feel free to drop me a line and we can always have a chat about how we make this happen. 

Gallery Viewings

I aim to get all clients their galleries within 2-3 weeks of your studio date. We can discuss if we do this in person, which is my preferred option, or if I send you your gallery link. 

Blogs

Blogs are a great way to write a little more than the social media platforms will allow. I try to have a new blog up regularly, and I try to cover a wide breadth of subjects, including mental health, self-love, inclusivity and of course topics that surround empowerment for everyone.  Please hop over and have a read, and if you fancy being a guest writer on a subject that you think will sit comfortably with the subject covered then let me know
