Wild Feminine Nude series
EMBRACE THE GODDESS WITHIN
Nude photography is a therapeutic experience that works deeply healing on all kinds of levels, for women of all ages. Most of us are indoctrinated by society's image of a woman's body. These altered images are affecting the way people look and act upon themselves, resulting in becoming depleted and tired from having a distorted perception of what 'beauty' is. Now the question arises what is beauty to you?
There is a significant movement in the media of people showing their ‘real’ unfiltered bodies. And to be honest, most of us are tiered with all the unrealistic body images that are thrown at us. We all encourage this change, but when it comes to showing ourselves, we rather hide our insecurities.
YOU ARE WORTH THE TRANSFORMATION!
Together we will work through the three phases of your transformation.
The first act of liberation you will experience by standing in front of the camera and coming in touch with your inner goddess.
In the second phase, you will receive the pictures. And you will be invited to shift your perception and make peace with your body, even more so, you will have the chance to fall in love with your body.
Look with an open mind and embrace your true self.
During the third phase, you can share your pictures with your loved one or even the people around you. Truly shine your light.
Testimonials

''My photoshoot with Michelle for me meant pure freedom & womanhood. She has amazing talent and calming nature, she made me feel completely comfortable in my own skin, listens carefully, has an eye for detail, gets inspired by nature, and most of all, she is able to capture your body in a light that promotes self-love, confidence, and all that is beautiful about your own unique ways. And, it was fun!!“

How did the 'wild feminine' series come alive?
''So there I was, naked in a magazine for the world to see''
When I was a teenager I started modeling on the side. Mainly I got approached by clients in the nude scene. For me these jobs didn't feel like something that I could be proud of, they made me feel like an object that men could get pleasure from. I said no to most jobs, except one. I said yes to the 'Arty nude'. I was extremely nervous about my first naked shoot. I was nineteen at the time. I remember the first publication in the JFK magazine (Dutch magazine) I felt remorseful. I didn't show them to anyone except my boyfriend back then, who was quite jealous. He wasn't proud, so why should I be proud?
Looking back at these pictures now, I could see a beautiful but insecure young woman who didn't love her body and was leaning on other people's opinions. Over time it made me realize that no matter what age you are or how beautiful your body may be if you don't embrace yourself from within it will never happen. No matter the age, size, or weight. As women, we are so used to being criticized and always pursuing unrealistic body images that make us feel stuck and unhappy.
For me, nude shoots were in the end deeply healing on all kinds of levels. It's a process that starts small from within by saying yes to transformation. This is why it became my mission to guide women toward a path of more self-love and awareness through naked photography sessions.
Whatever reason, give yourself permission to push the boundaries of your comfort zone, explore your sensuality and celebrate your body. Discover a side of yourself you may have never tapped into before. A naked session is so much more than a one-time experience; it’s an investment in yourself and your relationship with your body. You do not just buy a sexy photoshoot; you will get an empowering experience in self-acceptance. These photos will be treasured forever and so will the experience in itself which is rememberable, transformative, and liberating. It is a gift to yourself and worth the investment. Portugal provides us with the most iconic beaches, stretched desolated fields, and dunes. Together we will decide on the right place to shoot according to your preferences. Please know that the shoot doesn't always have to be fully naked, we can always work with some garments. I want you to feel in a safe space and that nothing is being forced, you are in charge.
