At The Empowerment Studio, movement has become a guiding theme lately. Whether it’s taking sexy selfies or connecting with your deeper self during our Empowerment Experience, we’re leaning into how movement allows us to feel more relaxed, confident, and true to ourselves.
Recently, Kinzie led a how-to selfie class for local entrepreneurs at our Boudoir Photography studio in Kansas City, MO. One focus was on creating excellent selfies through movement. Rather than standing still, we encouraged everyone to shift their weight, pop a hip, tilt their head—just move. This approach helps release tension, letting your true essence shine through in each shot. It’s a great way to level-up your selfie game by embracing your natural energy.
This idea carried into our Empowerment Experience community, where we’ve been exploring playfulness in both life and photography. Recently, we started a selfie thread that’s been my favorite so far—it’s filled with blurry photos from all the fun and movement. It’s a reminder that authentic boudoir photography doesn’t have to be stiff or overly posed. In fact, the more you move, the more honest and joyful the experience becomes.
A few weeks ago, during our Togetherness Time (another aspect of the Empowerment Experience), we also brought movement into our journaling practice with an activity called "move and muse." By alternating between moments of dance and moments of writing, participants unlocked powerful emotional shifts. I was really impressed with the way folks resonated with this activity!
Movement can be a form of expression that reveals so much more than words alone ever could. Here at The Empowerment Studio, whether through selfies, private boudoir photography or an online community activity, we embrace movement in all its forms. There’s no one right way to move, and that’s what makes it so freeing. It allows us to explore who we are, capture that in photos, and share our stories in the most honest way.
So next time you’re capturing a sexy selfie or prepping for new headshots at our studio in Kansas City, MO, try experimenting with movement. Dance a little, shift around, play with angles. You might be surprised at how much more you shines through the lens!
