Femme Energy, Unlocked: Why Every Woman Needs a DIY Photoshoot

Here’s a little secret I didn’t expect to learn: the most fun, most empowering, most “oh my god, I actually love myself” moment I’ve had in months came from… a solo photoshoot in my living room.

No fancy camera. No professional setup. Just me, my phone on self-timer, and the unapologetic decision to see myself in a new light.

Spoiler: I didn’t just get a few cute pictures out of it. I walked away feeling more in tune with my femme energy, more creative, and honestly? A little bit in love with the woman I’m becoming.

Here’s how it went down—and why I think every woman should try this.

How to Feel Like That Girl: The Magic of a Solo Photoshoot

1. Dress Like Your Dream Girl

This is your chance to become her—the version of you who’s magnetic, fearless, and unapologetically feminine. Go all out: pick the outfits that make you feel like a goddess, a rockstar, a CEO, a romantic poet—whatever your vibe is.

The goal? To see the woman you’re becoming while also honoring the woman you are right now.

I gave myself full permission to play dress-up.

• That new contouring technique I’ve been meaning to try? Tried it.
• The big, bold outfit I’ve had not where to take it? Wore it.
• A bold lip, soft curls, a spritz of perfume… because why not romanticize yourself?

2. Let it Get Messy (In the Best Way)

This is not about nailing the perfect pose for the ‘Gram. It’s about exploring: your angles, your energy, your essence. Get creative, play with your space, try bold ideas, and when you start to feel frustrated (because yeah, it happens), pause. Take a deep breath and remember why you’re doing this:

✨ To feel human.
✨ To feel woman.
✨ To remember how freaking amazing you are.

To tell the truth, at first, I felt awkward. Where do I look? How do I pose? Should I be sultry or soft?

But when I let go of the need for a “perfect shot” and gave myself permission to just play—that’s when the fun started.

I tried different angles. Twirled in my pants suit. Smiled, pouted, gave the camera side-eye.

And somewhere in that process, I stopped seeing “flaws” and started seeing… possibility.

3. Your Inner Critic? She’s Not Invited.

The most important part of this? Have fun. From picking out your outfits to curating your playlist to figuring out how to prop your phone on a stack of books, let this be a playful, no-pressure experience.

For me, this was an unexpected lesson in self-love: I saw a woman who’s willing to try new things, who knows she’s got greatness in her, who loves herself fiercely, and who’s not afraid to take up space.

I wasn’t aiming for a Maxim cover (although hey, never say never)—but I got some fire shots, updated my profile pic, and realized:

I’m kind of a vibe.

4. Femme Energy = Self Worship

Spending an entire day devoted to making myself feel beautiful was the ultimate self-care. It wasn’t just about the photos—it was about seeing myself in new, unexpected ways. The woman in those photos? She’s bold, radiant, and becoming.

So if you’ve been feeling disconnected from your femme energy, consider this your sign:

Plan a solo photoshoot.
Dress like your highest self.
Play.
Create.
Worship yourself.

And don’t be surprised when you walk away feeling like an absolute goddess.

So, Should You Try This?

1000% yes.

Here’s your permission slip to book a solo photoshoot—no fancy camera, no pro photographer, no rules. Just you, your vision, and your femme energy waiting to be seen.

Dress like the woman you want to become. Play. Pose. Laugh. Take a break when the inner critic shows up (because she will), and come back when you’re ready.

This is your time to worship yourself.

Because when you take the time to see yourself fully—through a lens of love, curiosity, and play—you’ll be amazed at the woman staring back at you.
