Empowerment Parties in the Enchanted Forest
Mini Boudoir Session + Empowering Group Energy!
Hey, Kinzie here (in the hot pink sports bra + jeans in the photo below)! I’m the founder and lead photographer of the Empowerment Studio, a queer-owned 🏳️🌈 and gender-inclusive 🏳️⚧️ boudoir photography studio in Kansas City, MO.
Back in the day, before the pandemic, I had this sense that I wanted to be able to photograph more people, and at a price point that was more accessible to more people than full boudoir sessions (one-on-one boudoir experiences range from $1000-$6000, a significant investment for most people!) -- but I just couldn't figure out HOW to fit that into my schedule.
So I started exploring the idea of Mini Session Parties -- where a bunch of people would arrive all at once, get ready together (lots of mirrors on the first floor of the Empowerment Studio), and then I'd photograph each of the beautiful humans one at a time in the mini session set.
But one day, with an extra magical combination of humans, the first person to be photographed was like, “uhhhhmmmm so...... I have a question. Could the whole group come with me to cheer me on?”
Holy shit, the best idea. So everyone hung out together for that first person's session to cheer them on, and then the second person was like, well, I want a cheering squad too. And then the third person was like, hmmm I didn't think I'd be comfortable to have people around me but like, now I want this too. And then the rest of the people joined in, and MY GOODNESS I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU HOW AMAZING IT WAS.
It felt like a real life manifestation of the Empowerment Studio. Compliment parties IRL, *while* the photos were being made.
Truly, these sessions are so special. And now we get to offer them to you!
MINI SESSION PARTIES — GROUP-EMPOWERMENT STYLE — ARE SO SPECIAL!!!!!!
I’d love to welcome you to join in on this magic with us ✨
Our next Empowerment Party is on Saturday, October 12 from 6-8 pm in the Enchanted Forest. Come join us!
We hang out as a group, enjoy snacks, and you’ll spread all over the Empowerment Studio to change into your photoshoot outfits and put finishing touches on your hair and makeup.
Then, one at a time, I'll photograph each of you surrounded by epic Empowerment Studio magic. You can always opt to have a private session if you want, or you can be cheered on by the group during your photoshoot (it’s fun, I promise!!). These sessions will be quick, fun, empowering, and beautiful!
Come together and pump each other up, be photographed and look amazing in photos, and build community and be IRL in the Empowerment Studio.
LET'S GET READY TO PARTY. It's going to feel so, so good.
Alright, y’all! Here are the deets!
The Party!
Not only will you get the chance to absolutely SHINE in front of my camera and a crew of empowering humans, but you’ll ALSO get a chance to build connection and community!
The Set!
Sometimes there’s a theme (like witchy fairy garden magic, or twinkle lights), sometimes it’s regular boudoir. You’ll always know in advance what sort of set you’re booking for.
The Magic!
Right before we start photographing, we’ll gather together and each person will have a chance to set an intention for the session.
The Location!
Sessions are at my photography studio in midtown KCMO! Easy street parking, accessible studio space (we have a ramp entrance around back; let me know in advance if you need this option and we’ll hook you up!).
How do I book my spot?
You’ll sign up to snag your spot at the Empowerment Party with a $250 booking fee. (Or, if you’re interested in booking a private party, reach out to me and we can chat details — you can book a party for a flat fee and bring as many of your friends as you want to split the cost!)
Seeing and ordering your photos!
After the Empowerment Party is over, each person will join me (Kinzie) virtually for a one-on-one Viewing and Ordering appointment, where I’ll share your final photos with you, and you’ll decide which ones you want to buy — and if you want them as digitals or if you want gorgeous products or both! You’ll want to plan to buy something (no products or digitals are included) - but you get to decide what you want based on your taste and your budget. Full pricing is listed below!

Payment Plans!
If you need a payment plan to split your $250 booking fee into parts, we’re happy to help! Just reach out to Kinzie, the Empowerment Photographer, in a Facebook Message, an Instagram DM, or an email - kinzie@empowermentphotographer.com. We also have payment plans after your session to help you budget for the photos you want to buy. We can chat it out and find something that feels comfy for all involved! (F*ck capitalism, ya know?)
Community Care protocols!
You’re welcome to mask before and after your session (but while you’re being photographed, you’ll probably want to be mask-free, though that’s up to you!). I have a HEPA filter running in the studio the whole time we’re there together. Please do not attend if you’re not feeling well — we can transfer over your booking fee and get you into our next Empowerment Party once you’re healthy.
If you are particularly high-risk for any reason [disability, compromised immune system, etc], reach out and let us know— we are happy to host an additional Empowerment Party with more strict health measures in place (required rapid covid testing, required vaccinations, masking, etc).
Feel free to message me separately if you have any questions about any of this. We’re on your team!
Hi, I’m your photographer and community guide!
Let me introduce myself! I’m Kinzie Elizabeth. I’m the founder of the Empowerment Studio, a boudoir photography studio in Kansas City, MO, where I guide my clients to see their bodies in revolutionary and deeply kind ways.
I cannot do this alone, though. It also takes an amazing team to help make this company run. We've got a small but mighty Empowerment Team (Libby! David! Donnie!) that I adore with my whole heart. They all have a hand in making your experience in the Empowerment Studio amazing.
Photography is powerful. It allows us to see beauty that we can’t always see with our own eyes. Seeing beautiful, real photos of yourself can change your life.
PS This photo is by Good Bodies KC, they are awesome.
PPS We are a queer-owned and radically trans-inclusive community, and I hope you know how welcome you are here. I’m going to be adding LGBTQ pride flags around my tattoo as soon as I possibly can.
What’s the Empowerment Studio?
The Empowerment Studio’s mission is to change the world by building a culture of compliments and radical self love. We’re a boudoir studio at our core, but we go far beyond that as well: we’re also a community of awesome humans who want to make the world a more kind place for EVERYONE. We celebrate ALL bodies, and gently learn to love parts of ourselves in different ways and/or with more gusto! If you've been to the studio, if you hang out with us online, if you’ve ever participated in a Selfie Challenge — you're part of it! Welcome, friend!
The Empowerment Studio is dedicated to all magical genders of humans for all things empowerment, taking up space, bodies, and community. We are here to change this world to be more positive, inclusive, and kind.
