Client Spotlight: Fiona's Self Love Shoot

Oh I just love a reason to celebrate.

Photo sessions with me are more than just taking photos—they’re an experience. Fiona’s shoot was exactly that. From the moment we started, it felt like a chance to pause, reflect, and truly celebrate this chapter of her life. She wanted this shoot to capture the essence of her 20s, not just in the images, but in the way she felt during the session—free, joyful, and present in the moment.

And that’s exactly what we did. We played in the grass, laughed, and experimented with different ways to embrace the light. Some moments were soft and dreamy, others bold and striking, but all representations of her.

From the very beginning, there was a beautiful energy to the shoot. Fiona wanted to highlight the contrast of her past - to acknowledge the darker times of her past and show that she's in a happier place now. I have to say my favourite image to represent this is the one below.

The way she is embraced by the light, looking ahead despite shadows all around her - I definitely did an excited run over to show her as soon as this was captured.

Fiona was so open to exploring, to moving, to letting go, and the whole experience was so much fun. There's never any pressure to pose on a shoot with me - just the freedom to be in the moment and enjoy it!

I especially love the images where she was running amongst the dappled light, completely in the moment, surrounded by nature. Those shots feel so full of life, as if she’s not just celebrating her past but also stepping into whatever comes next with joy and confidence.

One of my favourite things about photography is how it allows people to see themselves in a new way - to pause, to reflect, to celebrate. Fiona’s session was a reminder of that. A reminder that we don’t always take the time to acknowledge where we’ve been and how far we’ve come, but when we do, it’s something really special.

Thanks for reading this far.

With love,

Jen
