Where Story Meets Soul…

Written By Robin Godfrey Photography

This space is more than a blog. It’s a reflection of the women I photograph — and the moments we create together.

Photography, for me, has never been about perfection. It’s about emotion. Truth. The split-second shift between laughter and stillness. The curve of light across someone’s collarbone. The way confidence settles into the room like sunlight.

Here, I’ll share the stories behind the sessions — the ones that moved me. The women who walked in feeling unsure, and walked out changed. The art we made together. And sometimes, the art I’m still chasing.

Whether you’re here for inspiration, to explore what’s possible for your own session, or simply to linger in imagery that feels like home — you’re welcome.

This is where story meets soul. And I’m so glad you’re here.

Let’s save “blogging rules” for someone else. This is personal.

This is mine.
And now, it’s yours too.
Because the way you tell your story online — it can make all the difference.

You don’t need to have it all figured out.

You don’t need to know what to wear or how to pose.

You just have to show up.

Most of the women I photograph are between 35 and 50.

They’ve lived. They’ve shifted. Some are starting over. Some are just beginning to come back to themselves.

They’re doing this for their own reasons—and they don’t owe anyone an explanation.

These women are self-contained. They don’t need company to feel whole.

They’ll sit at a table for one. Fly across the world solo. Move through the world with quiet confidence.

They know who they are—or they’re ready to find out.

They don’t want the same photos everyone else has.

They’re not interested in being posed into someone they’re not.

They want to feel something real. To be photographed in a way that feels like them.

Not in a studio. Not against a blank backdrop.

But on a beach. In a quiet hotel room. Through the window of a café in the middle of Manhattan.

Wherever the light feels right.

Black and white strips it down to what matters—light, presence, emotion, truth.

No noise. No extra. Just her.

She doesn’t need to perform.

She doesn’t need to shrink.

She just needs to say yes.

If any part of this feels like you… I’d be honored to photograph you.
