She felt the fear and did it anyway šŸ’ƒ

To the woman reading this who’s been thinking about booking for months…

She travelled all the way from Blenheim to Matamata. Battling cancelled flights, lost luggage, and self doubt.

She almost cancelled twice. She’d just been diagnosed with PTSD. She was turning 40 and needed to prove something to herself. She walked into my studio shaking.

Yet she walked out saying it was the most rewarding thing she’s ever done.

She wanted to encourage other women who feel scared, but to not let that hold you back. Do it scared anyway, because…

✨ She felt safe the moment she arrived
✨ Every pose, every movement, every breath was guided — she never had to figure it out
✨ Her images left her speechless and made her cry (the good kind)
✨ And she would do it again tomorrow

You don’t need to be ready. You don’t need to be confident. You don’t need to have it figured out.

You just need to show up.

She did. Look what happened.

Thank you Miss C for trusting me to guide you, to be vulnerable in your body, and capture the most beautiful photos together

This is the moment ✨

When she decided to prioritise herself fully. To step into her power, be vulnerable, and feel like the most beautiful woman in her word ā¤ļø

This isn’t performative.
It is a celebration.
It is soft, feminine & powerful.

To the woman who has lost track of herself over the years, this is your moment to reconnect with your feminine energy.

This is what it looks like when she stops waiting.

Not for the perfect body or perfect moment to arrive.
Not for life to calm down.
Not for confidence to magically arrive one day.

She just… decides.

Decides she’s done picking herself apart.
Decides she’s allowed to feel sexy, powerful, alive — right now.
Decides this version of her is already enough.

And something shifts.

You can feel it in the way she moves.
The way she holds eye contact.
The way she owns every inch of herself in front of that camera.

This wasn’t about getting ā€œbetterā€ photos.
This was about meeting a version of herself she didn’t realise was already there.

And once you see her…
you can’t unsee her.

She’s not going back šŸ”„

To the woman who has lost her spark…

Take some time out just for you šŸ‘‡

Do something incredible that will help you to see her. To feel exhilarated. And beautiful in your skin right now.

To tell yourself: ā€œI was brave, I was wild, and I f*cking did it!ā€

POV: You’re deep into my 2016 archives…

This is such a nostalgia bomb for me … this takes me back to where it all began for my business! But also so many amazing things in my life overall šŸ˜Ž

There was a whole lot of hustling, late nights, adventures, still a lot of partying (pre-kids when i was still young and able lol), and meeting so many new people. 🄰

I pushed myself outside my comfort zone, went to events and made the most of this incredible journey and life.

There are some hilarious and seriously questionable and cringe-worthy moments - especially looking back at my ā€œtiny home studioā€ and hack setup, and listening to old videos of me sharing my passion (with my iconic customer service telephone voice), where I would momentarily forget to exhale and breathe when I forced my way through trying to speak publicly or online! šŸ˜‚

Here we are ten years later - Im so happy I stuck it out all these years. After babies, meltdowns, pandemics, madness, getting married and travelling. Im still here!

Do you remember what your highlight or fave memory of 2016 is?
