About the “Feminine Moment” Photo Session

What I aim for in this session is not merely an expression of beauty.
It is about capturing the sensuality, elegance, contradictions, doubts, and quiet introspection each woman has nurtured throughout her life, the rich stories that lie within.

Today, I would like to share more details about the content of the shoot and its meaning.
By the end, I hope you will have a deeper sense of what a Feminine Moment truly is.

1. Photographs that focus on You as a Woman

Photographs are taken in many contexts: vacation snapshots, professional headshots, group photos, images for social media.
Yet very few are taken simply for yourself, unless you decide to do so intentionally.

Today, profile photos are common, but when I began shooting them back in 2015, they were still rather rare.
Even then, I felt that a time would come when more people would want to turn the camera toward themselves, not for work or others, but for their own sake.(And really true today!)

That is what I propose here:
a photographic experience that invites you to look closely at yourself, as a woman.
But how do we approach that world?

2. Reflective questions and the power of archetypes

When I first began these sessions, the structure was still quite loose.
Over time, through advice from others and my own reflection, I started creating a set of questions to help clients prepare emotionally for the shoot.

It began with simple prompts about the qualities you associate with femininity.
Later, I discovered the idea of archetypes, well-known in psychology, which suggest that every woman carries certain universal characters within her.

When I took an archetype test myself, I was astonished by how precisely it resonated with me.
That experience inspired me to offer it as an optional tool for those who enjoy a more logical or structured way of understanding themselves.

After all, it is not easy to see ourselves clearly, and a gentle, well-designed framework can be surprisingly insightful.
(The archetype test is optional and available as a paid service.)

During this time, I realized the importance of reconnecting with my inner femininity. This photo session is inspired by my own journey, offering a meaningful experience that helps you reflect, reconnect, and uncover new insights about yourself.

3. The photographer’s eye: a “feminine report”

Few people can clearly articulate what makes them attractive.
True allure isn’t only about facial beauty; it is the essence that remains when titles, possessions, and status are stripped away, the pure you.

Photography is influenced by small accidents and the inspiration of the moment.
Those moments of serendipity can reveal aspects of you that are completely different from the curated world of “Instagram-worthy” images.

I hope this gives you a glimpse into the heart of the Feminine Moment photo session.

This experience weaves together two elements:
the logical side, reflective questions and mindful preparation and the intuitive, right-brain side, where spontaneity and the day’s inspiration shape what unfolds.

The balance of structure and serendipity allows both the shoot and your understanding of yourself to deepen naturally.
It is at once an entertaining, delightful experience and a gentle journey toward your own essence.
