Ainsley DS Photography Portrait photography with an emphasis on empowerment. Capturing beautiful moments with style and authenticity. Maternity. Bo***ir. Empowerment. Personal Branding. x

Family. Friends. Lovers. I think we can all agree that bodies are amazing. As a photographer, it is my mission to celebrate those bodies and souls exactly as they are. Whether you're after an empowering solo shoot at your favourite beach, a confidence boosting bo***ir photo shoot in your favourite lingerie, or a maternity shoot to capture your journey into motherhood, a personal empowerment photos

hoot with me is all about celebrating you! I have a strict "no body policy" which means I will never retouch or photoshop any part of your body. I'm a firm believer in body positivity no matter your shape, ability, age, or gender identity. I’m all about embracing natural beauty and in today's modern society that values perfectionism over reality, I think we need all reality we can get. I want to help you accept (if not love) your "flaws" and celebrate your best features. ​

​Long live the dimples, freckles, cellulite, skin rolls and scars. These are all signs of life! If you need a little confidence boost, want to document your solo trip, capture your baby bump, or you're simply celebrating your beautiful self, I want you to feel comfortable and beautiful during the photo shoot, and empowered and confident after it. If you're wanting to gift someone special with a bo***ir or empowerment portrait session then get in touch with me about organizing a gift voucher for them. In order to empower all, 10% of your empowerment photo shoot will be donated to either Shine, Women's Refuge or Rainbow Youth.

Backyard photoshoots 🧡
Seriously thinking about holding a little artist retreat for woman/ q***r people sometime this summer. It would include painting/ drawing, photography, walks on the beach, snacks, drinks, and whatever else tickled our fancy… I want it to be a space of fun, play creativity where we can step outside of our busy lives and just give ourselves a chance to explore. 🧡 totally open and looking for collaborators so let me know if you’d be keen!

In anticipation of the wonderful @splorefestival coming up very soon I’m having a look back at some of my favorite shots from last year’s opening day 🧡 rain dominated a lot of the weekend (and summer) last year but we didn’t let it stop us from living life to the fullest. Unfortunately I wont be there for this years feasty as I give my mind and body a much needed rest but I wish all the party people all the best! 🧡 #splore2023 . . . . . . . . #splorefestival #splore #splorephotographer #festivalphotographer #festivalphotography #nzevent #nzeventphotographer #aucklandeventphotographer #eventphotography #eventphotographer #nzphotography #nzphotographer #nzportraitphotographer #aucklandportraitp
