Project: Unfiltered
You’ve spent years showing up for everyone else.
Through the school runs, the hard conversations, the hospital appointments, the quiet losses that nobody saw. Through the birthdays that didn’t feel like celebrations and the mornings you barely recognised yourself in the mirror.
This session is not about who you were. It’s not about who you think you should be.
It’s about who you are. Right now. In this skin. In this chapter.
No professional hair and makeup team. No ring lights and glamour shots. Just you — in a safe, quiet studio with a photographer who genuinely wants to hear your story.
To celebrate the launch of Empowerment Sessions, the first 10 women to book will receive a complimentary 10×10″ wood mount print with their order.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Empowerment Sessions are for women navigating a significant moment in their lives. You might be:
Before your session We’ll have a relaxed Zoom chat so I can learn a little about you — where you’re at, what this session means to you and what you’d like to feel when you see your photos.
On the day Come as you are. Style yourself however feels right — whether that’s your favourite jeans and a white tee or something that’s been sitting in your wardrobe waiting for an occasion. I’ll guide you through every pose.
After your session We will book a private Zoom Design & Ordering Appointment where we’ll go through your images together. This is where you choose the pieces you’d like to keep — prints, wall art, digital files.
Your Empowerment Session includes everything you need to feel comfortable, supported and completely yourself:
A $125 deposit holds your session — and it’s not an extra cost, it comes straight off your order. You choose nothing upfront. Book now, turn up, and once your gallery is ready we’ll choose your favourite images together, with your deposit credited against whatever you order. Nothing to decide until you’ve seen yourself.
I didn’t create these sessions as a business idea. I created them because I needed one.
After years of failed IVF, a second chronic illness diagnosis and the slow, quiet experience of not recognising myself anymore — I realised I had no photos of who I am now. Plenty of me behind the camera. Plenty of me holding other people’s babies. None of just me.
So I turned the camera around.
And that changed everything.
No. These sessions are about you as you are. Style yourself in whatever makes you feel like you. If that’s a full face of makeup you’ve done yourself, great. If it’s bare skin, equally great.
No — but it can include an intimate element if that’s something you want. We’ll talk about it in your pre-session Zoom consultation.
Bring up to 3 outfits. I’ll give you guidance during our Zoom chat, but the short answer is: wear what makes you feel like yourself, not what you think a photographer wants to see.
Nobody thinks they are. That’s exactly why expert posing guidance is built into every session. You don’t need to know what to do — you just need to show up.
Your session fee is $149. After your viewing, most women invest between $1,200 and $2,000 on their artwork, but your $300 credit is included and there’s no minimum spend.
I’m based in Wentworth Falls in the Blue Mountains, servicing Penrith, western Sydney and the greater Sydney area.
I do shoot one Saturday a month, however please be advised that I am often booked out months in advance
