The Empowerment Experience

Boudoir Photography, Reimagined

This isn’t just a boudoir photoshoot, it’s an Empowerment Experience.

I believe that all bodies are worthy of being celebrated and captured exactly as it is, in this moment. So turn your favourite Beyoncé track up and get ready for my take on the traditional boudoir photography shoot.

Perhaps you’re booking an Empowerment Experience with me because you already have the confidence within yourself and you want me to capture it. Or maybe you need some help seeing yourself as the badass wahine that you are. Whatever your reasons, I guarantee that your experience will be transformative.

While studio photos look epic, there’s something incredible about celebrating your body alongside nature, especially in and around water. So c’mon - do something that’s purely for yourself and celebrate your phemonenal strength and beauty.

Booking

Once I’ve received your enquiry, we’ll have a chat and work out a good date and time for the shoot. We’ll also figure out location(s). You might already know where you’d like to be photographed. But if not there are lots of awesome local spots I can suggest.

How your Empowerment Experience unfolds…

Preparation

Once we’ve got all the details sorted, I’ll book you in and send you my detailed prep guide and questionnaire. This guide contains everything you need to know about getting ready, and my questionnaire will make sure I’ve got all the information I need. I’ll also schedule in a consultation call where we can chat and you can ask me any questions.

The Experience

Each Empowerment Experience is designed differently because every person is different! I work closely with you to create a safe and intimate environment that will allow us to capture raw and authentic images you’ll cherish forever. We’ll also have a load of fun. We’ll play some epic music, tell lots of jokes, and make some magic together.

The Photos!

I’ll send you a sneak peek within 24 hours, and then send the rest of the photos in a password protected online gallery within 1-3 weeks depending on your package of choice. You’ll open your gallery and shout “FUCK YEAH, that’s me!” so loudly, it’s bound to scare your neighbours.

But don’t just take my word for it…

  • "I booked an Empowerment Experience to push myself out of my comfort zone, and Francesca was the best photographer to go through the experience with! I had absolutely no vision for the shoot other than I wanted to do it, and Francesca provided me with everything I needed to know and directed the shoot brilliantly, while still leaving room for my feedback and ideas as they occurred! Even though I was definitely well out of my comfort zone, I never felt uncomfortable - Francesca was beyond friendly, open and professional! Added bonus, I truly walked away feeling empowered - and the photos turned out STUNNING!! I would 100% recommend Francesca for any occasion, and sincerely hope I have a reason to work with her again!!"

  • "Me and my friend got a friendship photoshoot done with Francesca and how fun was it! I felt comfortable throughout the shoot. If you have trouble smiling in photos like myself.. she is one hilarious person who will get that smile out of you! Highly recommend Francesca to be your photographer."

  • "I was absolutely blessed to book an empowerment shoot with francesca and she did not disappoint!! We had the most fun ! My images are absolutely amazing and I feel so gorgeous and in love with my photos Francesca made me feel so absolutely at ease the whole time 💕 we laughed so much I feel like a goddess ✨️ Thankyou for spoiling me ❤️"

    — Anna

  • "I had the absolute privilege of doing an empowerment shoot with Francesca, this was something I wanted to do for a long time but had no idea how to go about organizing. I was so excited when she mentioned she was interested in starting this. When we spoke about it I wanted to feel like my body was special and beautiful. I’ve always looked at maternity shoots in awe but never had children. Boudoir shoots seem great but wasn’t the vibe I was going for. This experience of empowerment was exactly that. Empowering to pose on a beach feeling proud of the body I have built. I know I’ll look back on these photos and feel amazing. Francesca made me feel even better, braver and more comfortable in my own skin. She knew what I wanted and made sure we were on the same page. I’m not a model so I felt clueless but she guided me the entire time. Safe, supported, and completely respected are just some of the things I felt during our shoot. 10/10 would recommend to anyone."

    — Emily

  • "Cesca just has this warmth about her that makes you feel immediately safe and comfortable. I highly reocmmend this to everyone, regardless of your confidence in front of the camera"

FAQs

Who can book an empowerment shoot?

I welcome all women, trans women, and non-binary folk who feel comfortable identifying in a space that centres the experiences of women.

Is there an age limit?

No limits, but you must be over 18 at the time of the photoshoot.

Do you photoshop?

I’ll remove  unwanted visitors that will be gone in a few weeks, like bruises, spots or scratches.. But I promise that I won’t alter your body in any way because it doesn’t need to be stretched or shrunk to look amazing.

Can I get hair and makeup?

Absolutely. Let me know when booking and I can arrange professional hair and makeup for you.

What should I wear?

My detailed prep guide gives you all the information you need.

Do I have to get naked?

Definitely not - you absolutely do not need to get naked to feel empowered. I ask detailed questions before your Empowerment Experience about how much you’d like to strip off. And there’s never an obligation to be nude or topless.

Is this a boudoir photoshoot?

Not in the traditional sense - this is so much more.

How many photos will I get?

It depends on the package you book - but between 40 and 130+.

Do you have a client wardrobe?

No, not only do I want you to feel utterly yourself during the shoot, I also want to be size inclusive which is incredibly hard to do in one go!

Will you post my photos on social media?

I will always ask your permission to post any fully topless or nude photographs on social media.
