This is a quiet portrait experience rooted in presence, not performance.
This is not a typical boudoir session. It’s a calm portrait experience for women who are returning to themselves after change.
Change. A new chapter. A new body. A new season of life.
A space to be seen with dignity, softness, and truth.
Why I created the Personal Portrait Experience
I created the Personal Portrait experience because I know how powerful it is to move through change.
My own life has been shaped by transitions, changing countries, beginning again, and building a new path from the ground up. Photography became more than work for me. It became a way of returning to myself, and of learning to see beauty and strength in moments that feel uncertain or tender.
It grew from that place.
A Personal Portrait session is not about performing or posing. It is a quiet space to pause, to feel present, and to be seen as you truly are, especially when life is shifting.
I wanted to offer something deeper than photographs. Something honest, grounding, and lasting. An experience that helps you carry a little more confidence, clarity, and connection into your next chapter.
What it feels like
Slow, grounded, and unhurried.
I guide you gently, without forcing poses.
We work with natural light, simple movement, and breath.
The aim is not perfection, but presence.
Ultimately, you’ll walk away not just with images, but with a quietly renewed confidence and a sense of peace in who you are.
This is for you if
- you are moving through a period of separation or change
- you are entering a new stage of life
- you want to reconnect with your body in a new way
- you want privacy and emotional safety
- you want portraits that feel timeless and honest
- you are seeking a moment of self-rediscovery or empowerment
If you’re drawn to something more imaginative or story-led, you may also love the Artistic Discovery Session.

What is a moving portrait?
A moving portrait is a short, quiet film captured alongside your photo session. There is no script and no expectation to perform. I guide you gently, just enough for you to feel safe and grounded.
The result is a simple, honest piece that reflects your presence, your body, and this chapter of your life.

“I couldn’t be more delighted to have found Irina. She is warm, thoughtful, and exceptionally talented. From start to finish, she helped me shape my vision and delivered results far beyond my expectations. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and truly hope we work together again.” — Ashleigh
“There are no words to describe how professional and amazing Irina is. The entire experience felt easy, calm, and deeply comfortable. She guides you so naturally that you never worry about posing, she simply moves around you and captures the best moments. Irina is warm, friendly, and makes it possible to truly be yourself in front of the camera. I’m so grateful for the experience and would recommend her without hesitation.” — Mada
Questions you might have
Do I have to be nude?
Not at all. Nudity is optional. This is about how you feel, not how much you show.
I’m nervous, is that normal?
Yes. Most women are. I guide you slowly and gently, and we take it step by step.
Where does the session take place?
A private location we agree together.
Calm personal portrait photography in Solihull & Birmingham.
When will I receive my gallery?
Within 5 days.
A new chapter
If you’re at the beginning of a new season in your life, it’s normal to feel a little unsure or disconnected from yourself.
Perhaps something has changed. A relationship, your body, your direction, or simply the way you see yourself.
This portrait experience is designed to help you pause and return gently.
Many women arrive feeling nervous or hesitant, and leave feeling lighter, more grounded, and quietly surprised by what they can see in themselves.
Not a different person, just more of who they already are.
