Women’s Creative Group Photoshoots

Why Women’s Creative Exists

The women’s creative group photoshoots are so near and dear to my heart. I thought of the idea for women’s creative back in 2022. I was only 2 years into starting my photography business, and I really wanted to host an in-person experience, FOR WOMEN, BY WOMEN. Ultimately, I want to build a community of women, and allow women to meet and connect in a meaningful way, through art.

The following shoots are through the last 3 years of women’s creative shoots, and then messages I wrote about each when I posted them on Instagram.

Join the next Women’s Creative here.

Women’s Creative Photoshoot #1

Here is the message I wrote about my first women’s creative group photoshoot, “The divine feminine. 🕊

There’s raw power in women uniting together. And by hand by hand, holding. More than just a hand, hidden emotional weight. Suddenly being released, by the support, of holding a hand.

realizing the unstoppable confidence you feel walking side by side with your strong women. your fighters. effortless beauty. purity.

Being behind the camera, and feeling more than the photo being taken. but a moment in time that’s making a difference in your life. in more ways than you realize. out of your comfort zone, with your sisters.

Eloquence. free sprites. haunting beauty. it will stay in your dreams…

My heart behind this: Imperfection. Candid laughter. Freedom. Vintage film. Nostalgia. Reckless abandon. Blissfully in the moment. Come as you are…

To be quite honest, this experience was the most rewarding photos I’ve done. Feeling art combined with fostering new friendships, sharing our struggles, being vulnerable, and uniting in femininity. I felt so much emotion from this night, I feel on fire with inspiration right now. And I want to personally thank each and every one of you ladies for being right here, in this moment with me, it’s feels intimate and it’s special.”

Women’s Creative Photoshoot #2

“A vintage story of forest fairies in the last greenery of summer.

feeling. moment. photo. capture. nostalgic. memory. feeling. moment. photo. capture. nostalgic. memory. feeling. moment. photo. capture. nostalgic. memory.

we’re all just emotional beings capturing moments to get nostalgic over — capsuling the memory. repeat. no photo will ever share the true feeling of what the moment was like.

how happy I was creating this. how excited I was to get these angles. how proud I was to capture women in their authentic beautiful forms. sharing these moments of our youth together. feeling beautiful and alive. creating just for the fuck of it.

ascending up the staircase to the feelings of my soul. each step coming with visions and daydreams. diving into the hot pink pools, swimming through emotion, coming out on the other side, free 🪐

…now try to imagine each part of that in your head. 🌜”

Women’s Creative Photoshoot #3

“I realized photography may be beautiful, but it’s also extremely emotional. People seeing photos of themselves triggers a highly emotional response. I’ve been trying to figure out how to use this emotional response to empower women…

Cue inception of women’s creative.

I became obsessed with getting photos of myself when I started photography because I was fascinated seeing myself through a new perspective. Almost surprised myself by how I looked in the photo. Do I actually look this to other people? There’s so much psychology behind photography. Self perception. Self love. So many things come into play…

One of the feelings I became addicted to very early on was taking a photo of someone, showing her, and her face just lights up because she’s like wow, I look like that? Loving the photo of herself. That became my ultimate goal. Any client, friend, family me never, when they got behind my camera I want them to feel empowered. And with the end in mind, when they finally see the final product of the photo, they beam with light because of how they see themselves. This is everything.

The Meaning Behind the Photoshoot

I want women to know how powerful they are. How beautiful they are, without even trying. Effortless beauty. Beauty by just being. Existing. That simple.

I left this creative shoot with an energy I’ve never had before. As a joke, for anyone who came, you guys know my heart was racing because I was so excited by everyone being there. In real life my heart races uncontrollably because I’m so excited. Just Ally things.

Not only because of the fall aesthetic vision STRAIGHT UP COMING TO FRUITION by the help of everyone bringing themselves and the most amazing props. Like thank you all. But because of the fact that this shoot truly centered around connecting with the women there. It truly felt like a coffee social in the middle of the woods. The most epic feeling. Everyone connecting over chai, coffee, pie, tarot cards, journal entries, a true girls day picnic. Just yes. I’m beaming with joy right now.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart AND SOUL for the ladies who attended. I have a place for each and every one of you in my soul. I love you.”

Women’s Creative Photoshoot #4

The message I shared to the group after, “I just want to thank each and everyone of you. I wish I was more vulnerable the day of, there was more I wanted to say, but in summary, I’ve really been struggling lately. I had some hard lessons to learn. And I feel like it all came to a head for me the day after women’s creative and I had my breaking point. It was the best thing to happen to me because now I know exactly what message I need to listen to and stop avoiding. I can’t thank you all for being there for such a healing day. I’ve felt healed from just watching all of you and being there as everyone shared their struggles. This community means so much to me and I’ve never felt safer with a group of women.”
