HER INNER LIGHT
Self-discovery and empowerment photography experience for women
A Spirit led Portrait Experience
At the heart of every photo I take, there is a deeper story… a story of self-discovery, growth, and alignment.
We women often run on autopilot, trying to hold it all together, mostly for others. I know we can be that way for a while as we’re strong. But what about allowing ourselves to be emotional and soft? What if you set aside just few hours for yourself?
To regain your confidence and femininity, maybe even rediscover parts of yourself you’ve forgotten (or never knew existed)?
This black & white portrait session aims to bring out the best in you and make you feel great in your own skin.
Who Is This For?
Her Inner Light photography experience is for women who are:
✨On a personal growth journey
There are many ways we can reconnect with ourselves, and I believe photography can be one of them. Through intentional and supportive guidance, this session is designed to boost your confidence, nurture self-love, and help you see yourself in a new, empowering light.
✨Crave deeper self-connection
Life gets busy, and it’s easy to lose touch with yourself in the noise. I have been there and finding myself took me through various path including anxiety and panic attacks. This experience invites you to slow down, reconnect, and remember who you are beneath the many roles, labels, and expectations. Because we all feel the heavy load we carry.
✨Are exploring their femininity, spirituality or emotional world
You’re feeling the pull to go inward, to understand yourself on a deeper level, embrace your softness, your strength, your story. This is a safe and creative space to honour that journey.
✨Drawn to the idea of seeing themselves in a way they never have before
You may struggle to see your own beauty or spark the way others do. This session offers a new, more compassionate lens, and I guarantee you will see yourself in a new light.
✨Wants to have beautiful soulful and artistic portraits of themselves
Not just for the sake of having photos but because being seen in this way feels healing, affirming, and deeply personal. These portraits become a reflection of your inner world, and so much good intention goes into making them.
These photos are meant to be as a celebration of You.

EXPERIENCES
“Irena’s photoshoot and my personalised Human Design curation were truly transformative experiences.
They helped me understand how my energies align and how I can consciously embody and expand them in my daily life. Irena is such a beautiful soul, she made me feel completely at ease, gently guiding me through every step while showering me with admiration and encouragement.
The entire experience left me feeling deeply inspired, made me reflect on how I can live with greater intention and depth.”
Jasleen
“Irena so delicately captured my emotions through her photography. She helped me express the inner energy I had through my hands, gestures, and every sense in my face.
Throughout the entire shoot, it was a healing experience that allowed me to truly listen to the voice and energy within myself.
No matter if it’s 10 or 20 years from now, whether I’m feeling strong or weak, these precious photos will always be something I can look back on for strength.
I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who wishes to understand themselves more deeply and find a genuine love for who they truly are!”
Yoon
“It was my first session with a professional photographer and it couldn't go better.
Irena's main goal is to make you feel good and to express how you really feel in that moment. I'm usually very shy in front of a camera and I felt comfortable, encouraged and beautiful all thanks to her!!
And now my pictures really represent how I am and how I was feeling.”
Ainhoa
“I was a little nervous before the shoot, but Irena eased me into it and the whole process was super relaxed and fun! Irena's eye for detail, creative vision, direction, and the way she tuned into my energy blew me away. I walked away feeling so uplifted and inspired, seen and celebrated.
Through Irena's work, I saw myself in a way I hadn't experienced before, and the final images are incredible.
If you get the chance to work with Irena, take it!”
Sonya
My Approach to Your Portrait Session
This isn’t just another photoshoot. It’s a unique portrait session that goes beyond perfect poses. It’s about seeing yourself through a new lens honouring both your softness and your strength. Being a Projector energy type, I’m wired to guide, to tune in deeply and that’s my superpower in these sessions. I see you, and I want you to regain your power and become more confident and self-loving version of yourself.
Over 90 minutes, we create a calm and supportive space for something powerful to unfold. This is more than photography. It’s a self-empowering experience through portraiture. This photoshoot offers a recognition, acceptance, and transformation.
I promise to hold this space for you with warmth, care and understanding allowing you to rest in a moment. At the end of our session you will feel more confident, excited and appreciated.
If you're ready to embark on a journey of self-expression, I’d love to guide you through it.
FAQs
-
My sessions offer a pocket of time where you don’t have to plan an entire day, fix, or manage anyone. You can pause for a minute and switch off that auto-pilot. It’s a chance to be fully present with yourself and breathe for a moment. The photos will become a reminder for you to slow down, when life gets fast again.
-
That’s totally normal. Most women I work with say the same at the start. This isn’t about posing or perfection. It’s about feeling. We take our time, we breathe, we chat. I guide you gently, and before you know it, something shifts. You stop performing, and start softening. And that is why we have 2hr to create the magic. The process can feel vulnerable, I get it. Bet that is the best part, because being vulnerable will create a shift in you you might have dreamt of for a while now. I am here for you!
-
I understand! Sometimes it’s hard to justify investing in something like this. But think of it as an investment in Yourself. The time, energy, and thoughtfulness we put into this session is something you’ll look back on and appreciate for much longer than a temporary expense. Investing in your growth, confidence and self-expression is a luxury when you think about it from a different perspective.
-
That’s completely fine. You don’t need to be in a certain mindset to benefit from this. It’s not about being “spiritual”, it’s about being open. To yourself. To the experience. To being seen. But if you need to wait, I will be here to welcome you whenever you are ready. This experience might not be for everyone, which is absolutely fine.
-
Getting out of our comfort zone is the place we grow. Booking a photoshoot is the first brave step. You don’t need to know how it’ll unfold. I’ll guide you gently through the process, so you can move at your own pace. The experience becomes a soft push into something new where courage and vulnerability meet, and the result reflects how far you’ve come.
-
Many women I work with start from that place of shyness or self-doubt. My approach is gentle and patient; I create a safe space where you can move at your own pace, without pressure or expectation. The focus isn’t on posing perfectly or being ‘on show,’ but on capturing your true self, in a way that feels comfortable and respectful. Often, clients find that through the process, their shyness softens and confidence grows not because they’re trying to be someone else, but because they’re allowed to simply be themselves.
These sessions take place across few handpicked spots on the North Shore, Auckland, chosen for their light and texture.
-
Yes, they’ll be professionally edited in black and white with contrast and depth to reflect the emotion and light. But I don’t over-edit. I won’t transform you into a stranger. These images are about honouring you as you are, not hiding you behind filters. But of course if there is something you wish me to “delete“ from the picture, I am more than happy to work on it. You don’t like your wrinkles? That is fine, I will minimise them. I want you to LOVE the end result!
-
Nope, not at all. I’ll guide you through it in a way that’s simple and easy to take in. I do the prep before we meet, so during the session you can just focus on the experience. Think of it as a doorway into understanding yourself, not a test to study for.
-
Anything that helps you feel confident and like yourself. There are no limits. Only consider that those will be black and white images, therefore colour doesn’t matter as much as texture or shape.
Just remember that comfort is kinda important too.
Here’s a glimpse into images created to reflect the femininity, softness and playful energy of this beautiful soul, each one capturing a different layer of Her Inner Light.
What to Expect From Your Session
✨Personalised Guidance
Before the shoot, I’ll get to know your Human Design type, so I can understand you on a energetic level and provide the guidance best suited to you personally. The space we create together will be calm, supportive, and free of judgement.
✨Capturing Different Aspects of You
Before our session we will have a chat about what would be your ideal outcome from it - regaining confidence, appreciating your body, looking beautiful like a goddess, showing your fearlessness etc. My role as a creative is to choose a setting and poses that align with that goal.
✨Natural Flow with Purpose
You won’t need to think about pose. I’ll guide fully keeping in mind the end result. I will also leave a space for natural movement and emotion to appear.
✨Creating Meaningful Photos
This is more than a photoshoot. It’s a chance to feel seen and to walk away with images that carry real personal meaning.
What Will Unfold After Your Experience
✨A Moment to Reflect
A moment to reflect on what came up for you not just in the photos, but in the way you moved, felt, and expressed yourself.
✨Permission to Be Seen
A sense of permission to be seen as you are. To stop editing yourself. You will see yourself in a new, uplifting way.
✨Something to Hold Onto
Additionally to images, a carefully crafted postcard will arrive at your door, featuring your favourite portrait and a few words that will encourage you to live yourself daily. Something to hold and come back to when the world gets noisy again.
✨A Lasting Reminder
This isn’t just about photos. It’s about remembering who you are in a way that stays with you.
WANT TO BOOK OF NEED MORE INFO?
Simply complete the form below, and I’ll be in touch within 2 business days.
To create a personalised session, I’ll need your birth date, time, and location to generate your Human Design type. With that information I will be able to tune in and be the support person you want your photographer to be. Because we all are different, unique in our own way, and knowing your our energies shift and transform, we can create a very magical connection. It might sound woo woo for some, but if you get it, you are my type of person and I would love to work with you :)
