Outside the Lens

A woman who has raised her family, she’s now fully embracing who she truly is after years of being who she thought she needed to be. She loves music, painting, sharing a good puff, and spending time with great company.

Finally Saying Yes

“I booked my session for more than one reason,” she said. “I had just turned 55, was healing from the loss of my mother, and going through a brutal breakup. It was a self-gift to celebrate a milestone, a healing journey, and a just-because moment.”

Learning to Celebrate Herself

Like many women, she’s had a love/hate relationship with her body.

“I’ve never really been curvy, but I thought — I’m not getting any younger. The time to appreciate and celebrate myself is now.”

Before the First Click

“I was a bit nervous and excited, but Shawna made me feel so relaxed and empowered that it quickly became a part of myself I never knew existed.”

A Joyful Surprise

What surprised her most?

“How at ease I felt baring my inner soul and showing my body in ways I never thought possible. It was truly rewarding.”

Moments That Stayed With Her

“The whole experience was absolutely fantastic. Truly empowering.”

The Reveal

The reveal was unforgettable.

“I honestly could not believe it was me. This experience definitely changed my self-perception — I feel physically more confident.”

A New Kind Of Confidence

She walked away from the experience feeling different inside and out.

“I feel more empowered having done this. I’m more confident now than I was before.”

Making It Her Own

She brought her own lingerie, even though the studio closet offered plenty of options. She wanted the images to feel authentically her — and they do.

Words To The Hesitant

“Don’t hesitate. Don’t wait. The time to celebrate yourself is now. Tomorrow is not promised… let out your inner goddess!”

Parting Words

She has one last piece of encouragement for anyone on the fence:

“DO IT! You will not regret it.”
