This self love photoshoot will inspire you to take a moment to slow down and remember how far along you’ve really come in this beautiful journey called living.
When I met Michelle, I knew instantly that our stories were meant to collide. Having gone through a health battle myself, I was ready to step into a chapter with her where we celebrated how far she’d come.
Hi, lovely. I’m Lumalia, a boudoir photographer (well, I like to say self-love photographer), poet, author, and somatic movement guide. Years ago, I went through my own deep healing journey, healing from chronic illnesses that once left me bedridden, to now back doing the things I love! Celebrating life with others. (More of my story and the beautiful discoveries I found through healing are in my memoir Blooming Upside Down.)
I get how important it is to spend a moment celebrating how far you’ve come because you’re ALWAYS further along than you think or probably give yourself credit for. That’s why I’m out here reminding you that Your Body is Poetry in my Empowerment Photography experiences. (Yes, I’m based in Portland, but take me anywhere!)
Self Love Photoshoot Celebrating with the Blooming Wild Flowers
Words from Michelle’s experience during her Self Love Photoshoot: “I recently had the extraordinary pleasure of working with Lumalia for a photography session to celebrate a significant chapter in my life. From the very first moment, Lumalia’s warm personality, caring and intuitive spirit, shone through, creating an environment that felt both magical and deeply authentic.
The session was more than just a photo shoot; it was an experience. Her ability to connect on a personal level helped me relax, feel deeply into my intentions, and genuinely enjoy the moment—resulting in photos that truly celebrate this phase of my life.”
“The photos Lumalia delivered were beyond my expectations. Each image was a beautiful, timeless piece that told a story. She managed to capture not just the surface, but the emotions and significance of this chapter in my life. The authenticity and beauty of her work left me speechless! I feel like I now own a talisman that reflects this special time in my life, and my inner child got to play and have a beautiful time in nature, thanks to Lumalia!”
