MODULE 5: Being the Artist & Capturing The Muse
The energetics of taking photos
Now that you’re feeling embodied in your feminine and you have the tools to celebrate your emotions and sensuality + move through the resistance or judgment that may come up… it’s time to learn some technique and to hold masculine space for your feminine to play and express so she can shine like the queen she is.
And guess what? This gets to be fun!!! Photos are a time for you to explore and enjoy yourself.
Yes you might be triggered at times but you’ll also reconnect to your creativity and inner child and have a blast!!
Play fun music, dance, experiment, play dress up, try out different looks and archetypes.
I don’t know about you but these were all my favourite activities as a little girl!
Give yourself permission to have a good time and forget about the outcome. In the moment, ENJOY.
And remember. There are always A SHIT TON of crappy photos for every one you love.
It’s normal. Even with professional models.
If you get 1 ‘good’ photo for every 50 ‘bad’ ones, you’re golden. If you get less than that, you’re probably just not SEEING your beauty and magic and can gently go back to your practices like mirror work and shadow dancing. I usually have 3-7 photos I love in every shoot. That’s more than enough. There’s always more opportunities for photos!
Abundance mindset :)
Now… to learn some photography fundamentals.
CREATE THE CONTAINER
Calling on your inner king!!
Your camera/phone represents the masculine. The gaze. The one who looks.
Your masculine is the artist, the director.
He is the one holding space for your inner goddess to shine.
He knows how to guide your feminine so she feels seen and safe.
Reclaiming your power, taking back the power to direct, so you get to decide what images you want to create, you get to decide that you’re beautiful.
NO ONE ELSE WILL DO IT FOR YOU.
Every day you wake up and you choose to be worthy of being seen. You get to choose, you get to decide, “I am worthy of being seen, I have important things to say, I am a hot bitch, I’ve got this, what I have to say matters”.
CLAIM IT.
NOW… LET’S GET READY FOR SHOOT
What does your feminine need to feel safe? Do your ritual beforehand and get into the vibration you want to capture.
It’s all about the vibe!
WHEN SHOOTING:
Set up your tripod at eye level. Start by taking straight on photos and set your timer. The first round you’ll be practicing different poses and exploring.
Then you can try taking photos from below for a full body shot or if you’d like to create the illusion of longer legs. From above for a coquettish look.
Here are some things to remember/explore (that we went over on the call)
Poses:
S shape
Break a hip
Point your toe, especially that front leg when standing face on
Arch your back
Chest forward, take up space!
Arms away from body
Movement
Play with shapes, don’t be shy to try things that feel weird in person
Hands:
Hans on face, on lips
Hands in hair
Hands on hips
Hands in the air
Move slowly, caress your body
Hold a prop (get inspired by your magnetic muse moodboard)
Facial Expressions:
The thoughts in your head dictate the expression on your face!
Experiment with lips parted, smiling, laughing, growling, call in the elements!
Sly smile (that “you know you want me” energy, seduce yourself)
Let your silliness come out!!
Tell yourself affirmations, take photos and say yes yes yes you’re doing it, this is amazing, literally let your masculine, your inner king cheer you on the whole time
HOMEPLAY
Exercises to deepen the embodiment of this session’s teachings and help you put into practice and play all that has been activated in your system
“My pleasure is a prayer that brings me back to life”
HAVE FUN WITH IT!!
The feminine is all about play and celebration. Celebrating the small steps and the big wins. And of course, the mistakes too. Because mistakes mean you’re leaning in. Mistakes are opportunities for growth and we love your mess too.
Share any wins big or small, your roadblocks, your creative expression in the telegram group here:

Excited to see you and feel you there!!

Bonus affirmations to repeat throughout your day any chance you get. I suggest working with one at a time, the one that jumps out to you and feels like a yes, until it’s ingrained in your subconscious.
