The Full Story
Empowered
Our Mission
We are on a crusade to promote freedom of expression regardless of age, gender, race, neuro-diversity or sexuality. We love to play with what it means to be female, male, gender-queer and everything in between, we want to liberate and motivate you to feel sexy on your own terms. Come and join the revolution
Our small but expert team will make sure you feel comfortable and supported throughout your boudoir photography experience. You don't need to lose any weight or conform to any specific image, we want you to be yourself and feel empowered.
Who are we?
We are Laura and Jade - a hair, makeup and photography duo who have a combined studio experience of over eighteen years. We built Empowered to offer an experience that's more than a photoshoot, it's a feeling.
Laura has photographed over 10,000 people and each one has had their own unique story, body hang-ups and confidence issues. Laura is an expert at bringing people out of their shell and being a cheerleader for whoever you are. Her biggest joy in photography is watching people have a shift in perspective with how they feel about themselves - after all, we don't grow by living in our comfort zone.
Jade is all about using hair and makeup as a tool. The way that we can use it as a war paint and a ritual when facing your day or as a way to express yourself creatively. This has developed into a passion for empowering other people too. To help people feel like the best version of themselves or just to slightly enhance what is already there. We are not looking to change you, rather to make you see yourself for how amazing you are.
