What is a Goddess Shoot®?


A Goddess Shoot® is a guided portrait experience that honours women exactly as they are.

This is not about posing, performing, or changing who you are.

It is a calm, supportive session where you are gently guided every step of the way. From how to stand, where to place your hands, how to breathe, and how to soften back into yourself.

Most women arrive saying they are nervous, awkward, or not photogenic.

Every woman leaves surprised by how easy it felt.

A Goddess Shoot® is about slowing down, being seen without pressure, and capturing you as you are right now. Not who you used to be. Not who you think you should become.

This experience is especially loved by

women who have never liked photos of themselves

mothers navigating identity changes

women in transition seasons

women who want portraits that feel real, soft, and timeless

You do not need confidence to book this.

Confidence is something that returns during the process.

What You Get:

Every Goddess Shoot® is designed to feel held, clear and supportive from start to finish. Your session includes:

A pre-shoot guide

This helps you prepare without overwhelm. What to wear, how to choose colours, and how to arrive feeling calm.

Guided posing throughout the session

You are never left wondering what to do. I guide you gently into poses that feel natural and look beautiful, even if you have never been photographed before.

A relaxed on location or lifestyle setting

We shoot in natural environments or quiet spaces that allow you to soften, breathe and move.

A curated online gallery

You receive a selection of carefully edited, timeless images that reflect your softness, strength and presence.

Please note: no images are ever shared anywhere without your consent

Optional motherhood focus

If you are a mother, your child can be part of the session in a way that feels organic and pressure free.

A photographer who gets women

I have photographed over 1000 women and I know exactly how to work with nerves, self doubt and sensitivity.

Flexible payment options

Payment plans are available so you can book in a way that feels supportive and accessible, without pressure.

Raglan based, travel available

I am based in Raglan NZ and travel for sessions upon request. If you have a special location in mind, we can talk it through together.

Your Investment


Goddess Shoot® sessions start from $970 NZD, with options designed to meet you wherever you are — a simple, focused session or a fuller, more immersive experience. Every package includes guided posing, a pre-shoot consultation and flexible payment plans.

What Women Say:


Most women tell me the same thing before we begin.

“I’m not confident.”

“I feel awkward.”

“I never like photos of myself.”

And most women tell me something very different afterwards.

“I didn’t know I could look like this.”

“I felt so safe.”

“This felt healing.”

“I finally recognise myself again.”

What matters most to me is not just the images you receive, but how you feel during and after the experience.

These sessions are often described as

gentle

grounding

affirming

emotional in the best way

You do not need to arrive ready.

You just need to arrive.
