Welcome to
Portraits to empower
Intimate, vulnerable, nude women’s transformational portraiture in Scotland that celebrates the beauty of your body—the softness, the curves, the strength, the scars and every powerful moment in between.
Every inch of your body deserves to be celebrated.
FEEL LIBERATED & FREE
When there’s nothing between you and the great outdoors, there’s no more empowering feeling. Just you, your beautiful body and an exploration of it in front of the camera that’ll leave you feeling exhilarated.
EXPRESS YOUR TRUE SELF
If you’ve been on a journey of acceptance, if you’ve come to love the skin you’re in and want to celebrate every inch of its glory, an intimate women’s portrait session is the ultimate tribute.
ACCEPTANCE & LOVE
It’s time to put the body hang ups to one side. It’s time to show the world that there’s no such thing as “the perfect body”. That EVERY body is beautiful and needs to be accepted in whatever shape or form it takes.
Isn’t it about TIME you stopped focussing on your “flaws” and start CELEBRATING your body and what it’s ACHIEVED?
BECAUSE YOUR BODY HAS LIVED A LIFE AND HAS A STORY TO TELL (AND WE ALL WANT TO HEAR IT).
For too long you’ve experienced the shame and fear that comes with showing your body to the world. This body of yours that has lived through a lifetime, borne you children, survived illness and trauma, submitted to everything you’ve put it through and still keeps you moving through this thing we call life.
It’s a beauty to be proud of and it’s no less special or important than anyone else’s body.
AND IT IS YOURS.
It holds all the secrets you’ve kept within, it bears the marks and scars of your history, and it has stored away all the feelings, emotions and memories of every single moment you’ve experienced. That makes it pretty friggin’ special, don’t you think?
It’s TIME to be the beautiful GODDESS you really ARE.
ARE YOU READY?
“In case nobody told you today… You’re special” – Lizzo
If you’re just the tiniest bit curious about what an intimate shoot might feel like, let me guide the way. If you’re ready to reach past your fears and brave the magic of the Scottish countryside in your birthday suit, I would love to be the one to support you through your experience.
Because every woman deserves to feel special. Every woman deserves to feel comfortable and confident in themselves. Every woman has a right to celebrate who they are and to feel the excitement, liberation and transformation an empowering portrait session will give you.
Women’s portraits are perfect for you if:
You’ve been doing the work
And you’re ready to take the next step on your journey
You want to celebrate your inner goddess
But you need a guiding hand to take the leap
You’re ready to do something for you
Something that’s all yours and not for anyone else
THIS IS THE STORY BEHIND
PORTRAITS TO EMPOWER
On International Women’s Day in 2021, I felt compelled to take myself off into the Scottish hills armed with only my camera and a few pieces of sheer fabric.
I knew I wanted to photograph women, to capture feminine portraits that would empower them and show them just how beautiful and free they are. But it was lockdown and I had no one to photograph but myself.
What happened was one of the most wild, liberating and best things I’ve ever done for myself. Because I hadn’t always had the best relationship with my body, this vessel that has given me three beautiful girls. But that day, when I came home, my husband told me I was GLOWING. And I finally started to see myself differently.
It’s this experience, this liberation, that I want to share with you so you can see yourselves for the beautiful goddesses you are.
These portraits are to celebrate you and your beautiful body and, to make it truly special and unique to you, I hand craft the experience specifically for you.
It’s time for you to be bold and brave. Your soul needs this celebration!
“Getting naked in a group of women was so magical and moving. Being together made it more comfortable.
We all had totally different bodies. The love I felt for everyone else’s glorious bodies helped me to love mine too! I couldn’t recommend a naked photoshoot more, especially in a group. It was liberating, fun, but mostly EMPOWERING! 💜 “

Outdoor empowerment sessions
01.
The healing power of nature
These sessions aren’t just about the photographs but the overall experience. Posing nude (or nearly nude) in the wilds of Scotland is so incredibly liberating. Release your fears, feel the healing power of nature and let me show you just how beautiful you are through the medium of artistic portraiture.
02.
The
experience
After booking we’ll have a consultation call and chat through your thoughts on your body, where you are in terms of the feelings towards your body and how you think this experience would benefit you as well as discussing suitable locations. I’ll guide you through what we’ll be doing in the sessions as well as practical advice for the day.
I allow 1-2 hours for the session but that may change depending on weather, confidence and how far we have to walk. Indoor sessions are 1.5 hours.
Afterwards, you’ll receive a private gallery of handcrafted images. You’ll be able to download, print, and share your images, and you can also order (optional) professional print products directly from your online gallery.
03.
Group
sessions
Group sessions are available on request. These sessions are an incredibly powerful, healing, liberating and fun experience. Typically this would involve your group of women getting naked together, dancing and enjoying the freedom. It’s a truly intense experience and a powerful bonding exercise. We’ll take a few group photos, some posed, some more candid moments. Each person will then have an opportunity for a few individual photos—how many will depend on the group size and your unique timetable/intention for your group.
I used to have so many hang ups about my body, especially my tummy.
I was anything but kind to it. Through the work I do, I’m leaning more fully into accepting and loving myself exactly as I am and finding the “perfect” in everything as it is… including my tummy. Zoë is a dream to work with, the experience felt like she wasn’t there at all and yet somehow safely and lovingly guided me to move in ways that felt completely normal and natural… while NAKED! She created a space which allowed me to feel powerful, beautiful and soft – what a gift.

GOT SOME QUESTIONS?
HOW LONG ARE THE SESSIONS?
Sessions last 1-2 hours but this is flexible and depends on factors like the weather, time of year, your confidence and how far we may have to walk. Some sessions will be longer/shorter than others, but this doesn’t mean that you’re getting more/less value, I’ll always ensure we’re getting the best from your session.
WILL MY IMAGES BE SHARED ONLINE?
It’s entirely up to you whether or not you share your images. I’ll never share an image without your permission and we’ll discuss this during your consultation. I do advise sharing at least a few images from your session, though, if you’re brave enough. This is part of the magic of the experience; the adoration and support you’ll receive will give you an incredible confidence boost that’ll help you see yourself as the beautiful, powerful goddess you really are. It also helps inspire other women to step out of their comfort zone and do the same!
WHERE WILL MY SHOOT TAKE PLACE?
We’ll discuss your shoot and potential locations during our initial call after you’ve booked. I usually stick to areas I know well around my home village of Fintry, but we can do locations further afield if we feel it’s right for you.
DO YOU PROVIDE THESE SESSIONS FOR CIS MEN, TRANSGENDER OR NON-BINARY PEOPLE?
At the moment I’m only offering this service to cisgender women as this is where I feel most comfortable. Comfort in these sessions is incredibly important—both mine and the people working with me, as I’m sure you can imagine! Inclusivity is incredibly important to me, though, and so this may change as my experience in this genre grows. I do invite people to enquire though and I’m happy to discuss this with you on a case by case basis. I’m aware very much that I’m still learning and I’m very happy to be educated, but I appreciate that you may have your own boundaries regarding this.
IT’S TIME
To step into your power
It’s our job, now, to show the women of the future that they can accept their bodies just as they are and the only way we can do that is to show them what’s possible.
Are you ready to be the change and the inspiration for our younger generations?
