‘More Than A Mother’
- empowering photoshoots for women in Cornwall
Having children is amazing. One of the most epic adventures of womanhood. It takes so much energy, devotion, love and self-sacrifice. I love celebrating and capturing motherhood in all it’s beauty.
But often we get a little lost in the role, and it’s important to get out of being just ‘mum’ and connect to the parts that make us whole and unique.
You are more than a mother. Your story is one of a human with many facets - so many that don’t fit into any box or ‘type’. You might be feeling a little unsure of who you are now as you get older. Your body has changed. Your values have shifted. Priorities are reordering themselves. Grief & love have altered you.
It’s my absolute pleasure to offer empowering photoshoots for women of all ages to help you explore, reclaim, or discover a side of you that may have been hiding for a while!
Confidence photoshoots
99% of women are nervous about stepping in front of the camera, but are blown away by how much they love the experience of the session, and the photos afterwards.
You don’t start off feeling confident, but this experience will boost you like nothing else.
I will give as much direction as needed to get the most flattering angles and poses, and it’s always an intuitive process, feeling the vibes and going in whichever direction feels right for your personality. It’s so important to me that you love your photos.
Style
The type of shots and things we do in these sessions can vary from boudoir style to very simple natural portraits, and usually there’s a mix of everything. I have a collection of dresses to borrow from, and I love the idea of each shoot being a collaboration which celebrates who you are. So we can really get creative and have some fun! It’s great to have a variety of styles, so you can bring out a few sides of your personality.
Details are planned in advance although the session itself will unfold naturally and organically, depending on variables on the day.
Most sessions happen in my home studio in Grampound, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do it outdoors, your home or at another location.
My job is to hold space for you, and to make sure you feel comfortable and seen. I love to capture the beautiful essence & character of a person, and also find ways to see beauty in the ‘imperfect’ bits. I’m actually on a mission to not fall in line with the beauty standards or to keep perpetuating the narrow definitions of what is beautiful especially for women.
I think whatever is real, honest, brave and strong is beautiful, and I’m here to encourage you all the way if that’s what you’re trying to be!
