A New Beginning: The Heart Behind Empowered Lotus Photography

By Kjerstin, Owner of Empowered Lotus Photography

Every story has a turning point — that moment when life shifts and you realize you’re not the same woman you were before.

She was strong.
She was soft.
She was still healing — but she was whole.

That moment changed everything.

Why This Blog Matters

This is my very first blog, and it’s coming straight from the heart.

I’ve spent over 13 years behind the camera helping women rediscover their beauty, their strength, and their stories. But until now, I haven’t shared my story — or why this work feels like my purpose.

Because Empowered Lotus Photography isn’t just about pictures.
It’s about healing through imagery.

It’s about helping women see the light in themselves again — especially when life has dimmed it.

I’ve been the woman hiding from photos.
I’ve been the woman who said, “I’ll book when I loose weight”
But here’s the truth I’ve learned — you don’t wait for confidence to arrive. You create it.

And sometimes, that starts with simply saying yes to being seen.

What to Expect from This Space

This blog is where I’ll share stories of transformation, self-love, and empowerment — real stories of real women who chose to show up and found themselves in the process.

You’ll find:
Encouragement for women who are rebuilding confidence.
Tips for preparing for your own portrait experience.
Behind-the-scenes glimpses into my creative world.
Inspiration to help you see your beauty — just as you are.

Because my goal isn’t just to photograph women.
It’s to help them heal.

The Difference at Empowered Lotus

When you walk into my studio, you’re not expected to be perfect — you’re invited to be present.

Every session is designed with care, compassion, and intention.
We laugh, we cry, we celebrate.
And by the end, you’ll see yourself the way the world already does — radiant, resilient, and deeply enough.

The Journey Begins

If you’re reading this, maybe it’s your time too.
Maybe you’ve been waiting for a sign to step into your light again.

This is it. 

Welcome to Empowered Lotus Photography — where every woman’s story is art, and every portrait is a piece of healing. Because you are already beautiful.
You are already enough.
You just deserve to see it.

Let’s connect and grab a cup of coffee! I would love to hear your story.

Love Always,

KJ
