“Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.” - Lucille Ball

FEMPOWER BY SHINES

This isn't about becoming someone else. It's about seeing the badass who's already there.


Fempower is my take on boudoir and empowerment photography…less about posing for someone else and more about showing up as your damn self.

Sexy, weird, vulnerable, powerful, playful, soft, rebellious - whatever version of you walks through the door is welcome here.

Based in the Reno, Truckee & Lake Tahoe area, Fempower sessions are created to celebrate your body, your story and the wildly imperfect human you already are.

COME AS YOU ARE

You don't need to change a damn thing first.


You don’t need to lose weight. You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need to feel confident walking in the door.

Fempower is about taking up space, getting a little uncomfortable, laughing your ass off, and seeing yourself in a way you haven't in a long fucking time..

Ready to do something just for you?
